IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
Report of the Board of Health.
The number of cases of contagious diseases reported to the Board of Health for the year of 1897 was 73, namely : diphtheria. 64; typhoid fever, 6; measles, 3. The number of deaths from these diseases was 7; namely, diphtheria, 6; typhoid fever, 1.
There have been a few more cases of diphtheria during the past year than on some previous years, but generally it has been of a mild type, however; and the small death rate from this disease is no doubt due to the new remedy, anti- toxine, which the physicians have so generally used in their treatment of this disease, which is worthy of favorable notice. All other contagious diseases have appeared with less frequency during the past year than for several years past, and the board desires to express their thanks to the physicians for the prompt manner in which they have re- ported cases of contagious diseases.
There is one matter that the board wishes to call the attention of the people to, and that is, that we think that the spreading of contagious diseases is often due to the thoughtless intermingling of members of afflicted households with other families. Now you are well aware that conta- gious diseases are equally to be abhorred by all classes of citizens, therefore every individual in the community should endeavor to co-operate with this board in carrying out all measures having for their object the preservation of the public health.
As regards the sanitary condition of the town, we con- sider it in a very good condition. There have been but very few complaints made to the board in regard to nuisances of any kind during the year; but in each and every case when
10
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
a complaint has been made the same has been investigated without delay, and if a nuisance was found to exist the same was ordered abated, and in no case was our orders disregarded in this respect.
In closing this report we desire to congratulate the town upon the general good health which has prevailed during the past year, and promise that every precaution shall be used for its continuance.
Respectfully submitted, James Griffing, Board George W. Smith, of
Levi W. Mallard, Health.

Number of forest fires, 2.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
We have erected a building in the rear of the Red Men's building at a cost of $45.63 and placed therein a hose carriage equipped and ready for business, aud we would suggest that a similar one be erected somewhere in the south part of the town.
At the meeting in September it was discovered that the smoke tubes in the steamer were leaking badly, and upon examination we found that several had holes in them and nearly all the others were defective. We could have replaced the leaky ones and allowed the others to stand, but as it would only be a short time when they also would leak we decided that it would be in the interest of economy to put in a complete new set, which we did at a cost of $149.41. The steamer now is as good as new, and if nothing but soft water is allowed to stand in the boiler the tubes will last several years.
The approach to the Neptune house is worn out and will have to be rebuilt, and we would suggest that it be filled in and concreted. The cost of so doing will be about $50 and will last a great many years.
We would recommend that the sum of $1500 be raised and appropriated to run the department the ensuing year.
We desire to extend thanks to the members of the department for their willing and obedient response to all calls and to those not of the department who have rendered valuable and timely assistance on several occasions.
Respectfully submitted, Charles E. Goodhue, ) Engineers John W. Patterson, of. H. A. Russell, Fire Dept.
