REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and City Council, of the City of Newburyport:
Gentlemen :- In submitting the report of the Board of Health for 1913, there is much satisfaction to be derived from the fact that the health of our people has been remarkably good during the past year, with the exception of measles and diphtheria; the number of contagious diseases have been fewer. Measles among the children were of a light form and the diphtherictic cases exceeded in number those of last year by three only.
The number of cases of scarlet fever were but three for the entire vear; typhoid fever cases were six less than for the previous year and it is gratifying to note that the cases of tuberculosis have not increased in number.
We submit herewith the annual reports of the various departments of this board in detail.
Respectfully submitted, ORRIN J. GURNEY.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT
To the Newburyport Board of Health, City Hall:
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report of the school work I have done for your board from Jan. 1, 1913, to Dec. 31, 1913.
I have made one hundred and sixty-seven (167) visits to the schools and I have given (270) two hundred and seventy labor certificates to those who have reported at my office for inspection.
Believing that every precaution should be taken to protect the children from possible danger of contagious diseases, I sent during the month of October, sixty (60) throat cultures to the bacteriologist's office, of which num- ber a return of five positives were made.
Sixty pupils from the different schools were chosen for the open-air experi- ment, but unfortunately, the expense forbade the adoption of these plans.
Respectfully submitted,
J. W. SHAW, School Physician.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
Newburyport, Mass., Feb. 2, 1914.
Gentlemen :- I submit herewith a report of my work as inspector of milk for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913. There have been examined for the bacterial content 355 samples of milk, 331 of which were taken by the collector from wagons at random on the streets, while the remaining 24 were sent to the laboratory by individual consumers or producers not required to have a license. Many of the above samples have been tested also for preservatives and for the presence of pus and streptococci. For the year beginning June 1, 1913, licenses to the number of 122 have been issued, 44 to dealers with wagons and 78 to stores and restaurants. The fees collected for the same amounted to $61, which sum has been paid to the City Treasurer.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
To His Honor, the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Gentlemen :- I have the honor to make my report for the year 1913.
The work done the past year has not been of a nature to make a great showing, but it has been of a permanent nature, especially in the line of Culverts,, which have been built in the places most needed and the work should be continued systematically each year.
The appropriation was again made $10,000 as it had been previous to 1912. It was nearly all spent for new work, so very little repair work could be attempted. The whole appropriation should be used to keep the streets already built in repair, and new work should have a special appropriation for the same.
The following work has been done:
Salem street, Macadam, the whole length.
Curzon Mill Road, Macadam, 3000 feet.
Washington street from Winter to Titcomb street, and Titcomb street from Washington to Pleasant street with heavy Tarvia construction.
This was made necessary by the removal of the street railway tracks.
GRAVEL REPAIRING
Parker street from Cherry street to culvert at Paul T. Winkley's, Low street.
300 feet from Storey avenue.
Ferry Road, 300 feet near Water Works.
Jefferson street, 400 feet.
New street from Plumer avenue to Atkinson Common.
Common Pasture Road, 500 feet.
Collins street, 600 feet.
Strong street, 300 feet.
Turnpike, 300 feet (State street).
Otis place, 170 feet.
The following streets were top dressed with Tarvia and Sand:
Ashland street; Arlington street; Merrimac street, from Butler street to Chase-Shawmut; Federal street, from High street to Prospect street; Prospect street, from State street to Bromfield street; Lime street; Fruit street; Fair street, from Prospect street to Middle street; Bromfield street, from High street to Chestnut street; one-half of Bromfield street, from Purchase street to Water street; Purchase street, from Lime street to Harrison street; Water street, from Railroad track to Madison street.
127
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The following Cement sidewalks have been built:
State street on lower side from Middle street to Charter street. Essex street, about 60 feet.
Upper side of High street, 62 yards granolithic.
Corner of Olive and Washington streets, 112 yards. granolithic.
Lafayette street, 98 yards. Granolithic 175 feet. Cement edgestones.
Forester street. 55 vards. Granolithic.
Olive street. 8 yards. Granolithic.
Corner Temple and Fair streets. Granolithic 75 yards.
Purchase street, 54 yards. Tar concrete.
High street, 25 yards. Tar concrete.
2312 yards topsurfacing with tar concrete about the city.
569 feet crossing stones laid on Collins street for edgestones.
The practice of using these stones for edgestones should be stopped, for it costs more for labor than it would for regular or cement edgestones.
The following Culverts have been built:
24 inch on State street, from Middle street to Charter street.
24 inch and 20 inch on Federal street from Water street to Liberty street.
20 inch on Marlboro street from Lincoln street across Purchase street.
14 inch x 18 inch on Toppan's lane.
60 inch x 20 inch at Towle Mfg. Co.
The following Catch Basins have been built:
Three on State street; 2 on Essex street; 2 on Charter street; 3 on Marlboro street.
One on Lincoln street; 4 on Federal street.
The following Sewers have been built :
260 feet 6-inch on Lafayette street.
200 feet 6-inch on Columbus avenue.
60 feet 4-inch on Union street.
46 house connections have been made.
2 house connections have been relaid.
26 stoppages have been removed from private sewers.
12 stoppages have been removed from main sewer.
Some 24 inch pipe should be purchased to extend the following culverts to the river.
100 feet 24 inch pipe at Kent street.
100 feet 24 inch pipe at Olive street.
50 feet 24 inch pipe at Boardman street.
There should be a culvert from Union street down Goodwin avenue, $100. The culvert on State street should be extended to High street; the one on Federal street to Prospect street; the one on Marlboro street to Chestnut street. The latter was ordered in, but there was not money to build it. The pipe was purchased and is still on hand, about $200 worth.
I would recommend the following new work for another year, but a special appropriation should be made for each piece of work.
State street from Market Square to Newbury line.
Merrimac street from car barn to Chain bridge.
High street below State street.
Water street from Madison street to gas house.
128
ANNUAL REPORTS.
The large amount of pipe in the pit, of which we have heard so much, consists mostly of broken pipe which is the accumulation for at least eight years, and a large part of it is pipe that was there previous to my becoming superintendent of streets.
The good pipe is pipe which was purchased for the Marlboro street sewer extension which was not completed, and fittings which we have to keep on hand in case of emergency.
Very respectfully submitted, JAMES H. JOHNSTON, Superintendent of Highways.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
To His Honor, The Mayor, and City Council, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Gentlemen :- I beg to submit the following report as city solicitor:
The Artichoke river cases which were pending before Forrest L. Evans, Esq., Edward Kent, and Michael Cashman, auditors, have been delayed owing to the death of Edward Kent; a new auditor has been appointed who will read the testimony, and the arguments will probably be made in a short time. understand that the cases of the Misses Emery and Helen C. Moseley, which were pending before the Hon. John J. Ryan, have been settled, although I do not know it officially as the Water Commissioners have never notified me or conferred with me in any way regarding these cases.
The case of the City of Newburyport against the First National Bank, of Boston, was placed in the hands of Arthur Withington, Esq., as special counsel; this case has lately been argued and the decision is expected before long.
The petitions for abatement of taxes filed by George E. and Frances A. Poor are awaiting the report of Judge G. H. W. Hayes, Commissioner.
