I think no sewer ought to be constructed less than 30 inches diameter and not to be built circular, but conical to admit of the passage of all materials without obstruction.
My views of sewers are that they should be built in the most thorough manner, and of the best materials, and thereby avoid much care and anxiety in their use.

WORK OF THE AGENT.

Besides the work of investigating complaints the agent has put up a white warning card on houses in which diphtheria appeared and a red one on house in which scarlet fever appeared and has removed the same after the houses have been properly fumigated and disinfected. He has also made many visits to inquire into the nature of reported cases of contagious diseases and has disinfected three schools and two dwelling houses.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
In January there were three times as many cases of diphtheria as in any other month during the year and nearly as many the preceeding December.
These cases were nearly all at the North End among the mid- dle class, where the sanitary conditions were good. As the dis- eases did not spread from house to house, but appeared in houses. far apart and the householder and physician took the greatest pains to isolate and disinfect, it would seem that the disease must have spread from light cases, having no physician and therefore not isolated or disinfected.
PHYSICIANS.
While the attending physicians have been very prompt in re- porting diphtheria and scarlet fever, they have been lax in report- ing cases of typhoid fever and we would again thank them for their aid in this matter and also renew our request that they re- port cases of typhoid fever as promptly as possible as well as the other contagious diseases.
The board will urge as last year, the necessity of a hospital for contagious diseases as they think many cases might be prevented and thus much distress and suffering avoided by such a hospital.
REMOVAL OF NIGHT SOIL AND CONTENTS OF CESSPOOLS.
This work has been done by Mr. C. M. Lunt, whose contract for the same, having expired June I, of the current year, was re- newed for the next three years under the same terms, viz., $1.75 per load of 12 barrels or fraction thereof.
The following is a summary of his work :

COLLECTION OF HOUSE OFFAL.
This work has also been done by Mr. C. M. Lunt, under con- tract with the city for a term of four years at $300 a year.
Mr. Lunt has tried to do this work well and to have faithful employes, an almost impossibility.
The past year there has been fewer complaints and the most of them caused by irresponsible parties who have either stolen the offal or been allowed to collect it by the householder.
WORK OF THE INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING.
The inspector, Mr. Francis Curtis has given satisfaction in the performance of his work.
He has made 104 complete inspections and quite a number of incomplete ones, as the jobs have been improperly done and the certificate therefore delayed until the plumber should make good the defects.
As some of the plumbing has been put in regardless of the rules regulating such and in many cases the plumber has had only a small portion of the pipe tested and then added much more and in some cases has not called the inspector at all, the board of health thought best to ask the City Council to pass the following ordinance :
Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Newburyport as follows :
SECTION I. No person shall carry on the business of plumb- ing in the City of Newburyport unless he is a plumber and holds
247
BOARD OF HEALTH.
a license from and has registered his name and place of business with the board of health, whom he shall immediately notify of any change therein.
SECTION II. The license issued shall be valid for one year after issue unless sooner suspended or revoked and shall be condi- tioned upon the skillful and workmanlike performance of all work undertaken and a faithful observance of all the regulations of the board of health, now or hereafter made in relation to plumbing.
Early in the season a sanitary engineer was employed by the city to look over system of sewers, and he reported that the best way to ventilate them was by means of open covers on the man- holes and then the safety pipes might be safely omitted; there- fore the board of health reported to the City Council that if it saw fit to put open covers on the manholes the board would not make the safety pipes obligatory, but it would not recommend the change as the present system was working well.
The council voted to place open covers on the manholes and this was done in the new extension, but most of the open covers came too late to make the change complete.
The holes in the covers are necessarily so small that in the muddy streets they have been stopped up the greater part of the time, and since the snow and ice came they have all been stopped up and therefore useless as ventilators of the sewers.

FOLLANSBEE FUND.
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of New- buryport.
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor of submitting the nineteenth annual report of the Follansbee fund.
During the past year the City railroad bonds in which the fund was principally invested matured necessitating a new investment of a considerable portion of the fund.
This has been done by investing in a note of the city bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annu- ally. This was deemed the best plan of investment, all things considered that could be made, the income, of course, will be re- duced and the amount of wood and coal that can be distributed, must be correspondingly reduced.

It further appears that an evening school was maintained for 40 evenings in ward six with two competent teachers, which with janitor's services and expense for lighting entailed an ex- pense of $88.89.
It further appears that the amount withdrawn from the savings deposit is only $5.76 in excess of the amount deposited, which sum being but a small portion of the income from the savings deposit shares and increase of the fund. It appears to the com- mittee that the fund and- income thereof appears to be very judiciously managed.

Deaths occuring in this city for the year 1892 (not including 15 stillborn) were 307, but six more than the previous year.

The number recorded on the books of the city for the year was 416. Of this number, 94 occurred in other places and were brought to this city for interrment.
The number of interrments in this city exceeded the number of removals by that number 2 to I.
