REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
December, 1924.
To His Honor, the Mayor and the City Council,
Gentlemen ·-
The Board of Assessors hereby presents its annual report for the year 1924.
The Assessors' Maps have been used this year in determining land values throughout the city, and the effect of their use has been seen in the equalization of values as well as in a substantial increase in the valuation. By this equalization the burden of taxation is more equally distributed and all pay according to their holdings. In put- ting the system into effect we have been assisted in an advisory ca- pacity by a committee from the Chamber of Commerce whose co- operation and advice we appreciate.
The real estate valuation has this year been increased $481,592.00. The Board intends to make a re-adjustment in the value of buildings the coming year, which will probably result in a further increase. The figures of the valuation for 1924 are as follows:
Real Estate. $10,427,300.00
Personal Estate.
2,669,762.00
$13,097,062.00
The amounts called for by State, County and City Warrants were:
State tax
$23,900.00
State highway tax. 1,299.35
State Merrimac river sewer investigation 567.05
County.
22,138.09
City (including judgments)
462,521.92
Overlay
8,483.96
Towards this amount the estimated income from the State from school teachers' allowances and intangibles, $38,300.21, the balance being raised by taxation. To raise the amount a tax rate of $36 was declared. The tax on real estate amounted to $375,382.80, and on personal property to $96,111.36.
96
ANNUAL REPORT
The December assessments, omitted from the original levy were: Real, $770.00; personal, $2,180.00.
Abatements have been made during the year as follows:
On taxes of 1920. $2,884.32
On taxes of 1921. 3,872.05
On taxes of 1922. 4,764.53
On taxes of 1923. 561.90

ANNUAL REPORT
PEABODY FUND
Since the close of the last library year there have been added to the Public Library, purchased from the income of the Peabody Fund, 191 new volumes, which, added to the grand total previously placed in the institution make 15,362 books since the donation of $15,000 became operative 47 years ago. Mr. Peabody recommended "that the larger portion of the income should be devoted to the purchase of standard works for the general library," also "that the income derived from this gift be kept separate and distinct from that derived from other sources, and that an annual report of the condition of the fund and amount of income be prepared and published." These simple conditions the trustees have always endeavored faithfully to comply with, and in accordance with the last report of the Treasurer of the fund is herewith appended.

ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Newburyport, Mass., January 18, 1925.
To the Mayor and City Council :
Gentlemen:
The following is the report of the Board of Health and its de- partments for the year ending January 1, 1925.
A glance at the table of reportable diseases will show that there has been no unusual prevalence of contagious diseases; and closer scrutiny will reveal the surprising fact that no case of influenza has been reported to the Board during the year. It may also be considered a cause for congratulation that ten cases only of lobar pneumonia appear in the record, whereas there have been thirty-two cases of diphtheria and fourteen cases of scarlet fever. Taking into considera- tion the fact that pneumonia remains one of the chief scourges of win- ter and spring, and that influenza is still endemic throughout the State, one may doubt if these figures represent with absolute fidelity the prevalence of these diseases in this city. It is rather to be ques- tioned whether physicians generally do not overlook the requirements of the state law by failing to report their cases. On the other hand, the figures in regard to diphtheria and scarlet fever are presumably correct, as physicians appreciate the importance of quarantine meas- sures in these diseases and rely upon the Board of Health to estab- lish and maintain quarantine. The Board has attempted to con- trol, as far as possible, the spread of contagious diseases in the schools by establishing definite periods of detention from school or infected individuals and their contacts.
A campaign of immunization against diphtheria was instituted early in the year under the supervision of Dr. Lyman A. Jones, Dis- trict Health Officer, and has been continued during the fall months. Three hundred and five children in the schools have been subjected to the Schick test, and those found to be susceptible have received the immunizing treatment. When it is remembered that the test and treatment are given only with the consent of parents or guardians the record will be considered, we believe, as a gratifying beginning of a very important crusade against one of the most deadly diseases of childhood.
The Board has recommended to the City Council that protective measures against rabies be instituted by city ordinance. This disease
101
BOARD OF HEALTH
is increasing with alarming rapidity throughout the eastern states, and there have been several cases of rabies among dogs in the environs of Newburyport within the past year. There have also been a num- ber of cases of bites by rabid dogs requiring anti-rabic treatment among human beings, though none within the city limits. It is there- fore felt that it would not be imposing a great hardship upon the owners of dogs to require them to subject these animals to protective inocu- lation, with the option that otherwise they will be permitted to have them on the streets only when led on leash. We have also recommended that all stray and unlicensed dogs be destroyed.
The collection of ashes and rubbish has been conducted in a manner, which we believe, is generally satisfactory. A few com- plaints have reached the Board; but in nearly every case of dissatis- faction the ground of complaints has been the unwillingness of the collectors to handle unduly large and heavy receptacles, such as pork barrels and sugar barrels. A reasonable consideration of the limita- tion of strength of human muscle and sinew, and the use of recep- tacles not over the standard size, will, we believe, ensure satisfactory service from the collectors.
The present method of collecting and disposing of garbage has not yet advanced beyond the experimental stage. Until 1923, for several years, permission to collect garbage was granted to district collectors; and in this manner, the work was done at small expense, but often in an irregular, and sometimes in an extremely slovenly manner. Since that time garbage collection has been carried on un- der the supervision of Charles H. Davis, Superintendent of the city farm. Collections have become regular and, in the main, sanitary; and little dissatisfaction has arisen on this account. But, in the matter of garbage disposal, the Board is not convinced that a final and per- fect method has been attained. In theory it is, perhaps, not unreas- onable to expect that the returns from the sale of pigs, chickens, eggs, etc., resulting from the natural increase and productivity of such live-stock, under this system of garbage disposal, will meet all of the expenses of collection. In practice, however, up to this time, this result has not been achieved, and the subject is one to which the Board is devoting much time and study. We have had, furthermore, dur- ing the fall and early winter months, to meet numerous complaints from residents of the section adjacent to the city farm arising from offensive conditions about the premises where garbage is deposited for consumption of the live-stock. Whatever may be the merits o demerits of the system, the Board is resolved to abate all nuisances which have arisen under it; and they intend to devote themselves earnestly to a consideration of other methods if the present one proves to be too costly.
The Board of Health has under its supervision the work of the school physician. According to the requirements of the state law this official is expected, every year, to make a physical examination
102
ANNUAL REPORT
of every child in the grade schools, besides keeping a general over- sight of the health of all in these schools. He has also many other duties. It is obvious that one physician can not attend to all of these duties in the schools of Newburyport, even if he should devote his entire time to the task. Furthermore, his salary is plainly in ade- quate, amounting to but $350 per year. A joint meeting was held during the year at which the members of the Board met a special committee appointed by the School Board at which plans were formu- lated promising a higher degree of efficiency in this office. The Board feels, however, that earnest and zealous co-operation can not be ex- pected from a grossly underpaid official, and it respectfully and ur- gently solicits an increased appropriation for this department in the interest of more effective supervision of the health of school children.
We also ask for an increased appropriation in behalf of the agent of this Board whose salary has been for several years below the pre- war allowance for his office. As long as it seems necessary to employ a paid official to attend to the routine duties of this it is but simple justice to offer him a living wage. The fact that he is not disposed to relinquish the appointment in spite of the inadequate salary does not lessen our obligation in this respect.
A letter was recently published in the Newburyport News by Dr. Lyman A. Jones, District Health Officer, calling attention to the unsanitary condition of the water supply at Plum Island.
A copy of this letter was simultaneously sent to this office and we feel that the problem cannot be better stated than in the words of the writer. We therefore append the letter to our report, feeling that the menace to the summer residents of Plum Island is a serious one and should be taken cognizance of by the proper authorities.
The reports of the Agent and of the Inspectors in the various departments follow.
THOMAS R. HEALEY, RANDOLPH C. HURD, ARTHUR J. HEWETT,
Board of Health.

Editor, Newburyport News,
21 Inn St., Newburyport, Mass.
Dear Sir :-
For several years a public health problem has been developing in the Plum Island section of Newburyport and Newbury. This section, a place of summer residence for years, has no public water
103
BOARD OF HEALTH
supply. While the summer population was small and residences scat- tered the wells from which residents secured water were reasonably safe.
With the present developement of the Island and the increas- ing population, estimated at about 3000 during the summer months, housed in about 350 cottages and camps, the provision of safe drink- ing water is a serious problem. In many instances lots are so small that the well, the sink drain and the privy, all in close proximity, of necessity render the well water unsafe for domestic use. Even though the sand, of which Plum Island is formed, acts as a filter, it sooner or later becomes saturated with waste and is no longer efficient as a filter.
A recent examination of a series of representative wells at the Island indicated that several were polluted and others of questionable quality. Still others, though the water at the time of examination might be deemed safe for drinking purposes, could not be approved because of privies or cess-pools near by. Further at dry seasons the well water supply is sometimes limited and oftentimes is brackish and unsatisfactory for domestic use.
The only satisfactory solution of the problem is the provision of a suitable public water supply. Only in this manner can a some- time certain epidemic be warded off. The present situation is much like having a fire laid with kindling and oil awaiting but a match to start it.
I urge that the proper authorities of Newburypot and New- bury, together with the company now developing the Island and private owners co-operate to secure a public water supply and thus do away with a growing menace to the health of the residents of these communities and the Island as well.
Very truly yours, LYMAN A. JONES,
State District Health Officer.

ANNUAL REPORT
CITY SOLICITOR
January 31, 1925.
Gentlemen of the City Council:
Newburyport, Mass.
In accordance with the requirement of our municipal ordinance I hereby submit my report for the year 1924:
The cases of Katie B. and George B. Merrill, in which a jury award was given of thirteen hundred dollars during 1923 and a new trial granted to the City, have again been determined by an award of four hundred and fifty dollars for the plaintiff, Katie B. Merrill.
All of the other tort cases against the City have either been ad- justed or dismissed and for the first time since I have been City So- licitor there are no highway defect suits pending against the City of Newburyport.
There are, however, six other cases pending against the City:
First, the case of Benjamin J. Checkoway, replevin action, re- sulting from the action of the City of Newburyport in clearing Ferry Wharf.
Second, the suit of Eben P. Allen in which he seeks to recover about sixteen hundred dollars for a compensation award which he says the City owes him.
Third, John J. Evans against the City of Newburyport, an ac- tion of contract in the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for alleged breach of the building moving contract which the plaintiff had with the City of Newburyport.
Fourth, Newburyport Lodge No. 139, Independent Order of Odd Fellows vs. the City of Newburyport in a land damage assess- ment case as the result of the relocation and widening of Merrimac Street.
Fifth, Wilkinson & Company vs. the City of Newburyport is a suit against the City for alleged work performed at the George W. Brown School, concerning which the architect, Mayor and Members of the Committee deny any knowledge.
Sixth, The City has also been sued by the County of Essex for our portion of the Tubercular Hospital Assessment. In this matter, I will be assisted by Robert G. Dodge of Storey, Palmer, Thorndike Dodge of Boston.
107
CITY SOLICITOR
All matters pertaining tc the eminent domain proceedings for the new primary school have been cleared up.
There are two instances in the Central Park Taking where the persons effected have not accepted their awards, but the period within which they have a right to appeal the award has long since passed and the money apparently will remain in the City Treasury.
I would once again call to the attention of the City Council the unusual condition which exists with reference to cur Municipal Or- dinances. The last revision of the same took place in 1900 and the last quarter of a century has seen many changes in them, including a change of charter. The regulations of the different departments and all of the ordinances should be completely revised.
Respectfully yours, JAMES F. CARENS, JR., City Solicitor.
