It is hoped the Home affairs may be conducted by the veterans who instituted the Home and their successors as they have an interest in the veterans. We employ veterans whenever they are available. The library has recently been overhauled and improvements of additional metal book racks, tables, chairs, lights, as well as many books added. This makes the library one of the finest in this part of the state. Many daily papers, magazines and reading matter other than books are furnished. We are very proud of our library. Many improvements have been made in the amusement hall and others are being arranged for the coming year. The old billiard tables were exchanged for new ones including racks, cues, balls, etc. My association and work with the Board of Directors, State Board of Control, State Engineering Department, State Purchasing Department, as well as all state officials has been very pleasant. To the officers of the Home personally, I have only words of thanks for their effort in assisting in the cooperation and conduct of the Veterans' Home of California. We hope the coming year will find us equally as united in the service for veterans of all wars as well as the state. Respectfully submitted. R. C. MARTIN, Colonel-Commandant.
