BOARD OF ASSESSORS
BOARD OF ASSESSORS
ANNUAL REPORT, 1925
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council,
Gentlemen :-
The Board of Assessors herewith presents its report for the year 1925.
The Board wishes at this time to make a brief resume of the results of its work in the revaluation of the property of the city. The valuation in 1923 was: Real, $9,753,770; personal, $2,861,700; total, $12,615,470. The readjustment of land values was undertaken in 1924, the valuation of real estate being thereby increased $673,530. In 1925 the readjustment or re- valuation of buildings was made, resulting in a further increase of $395,600, notwithstanding a large reduction in the value of the mill property made necessary by the lower mills being idle and unoccupied and their sale at a low figure. The personal property shows a loss of $148,400, caused by the loss of factory machinery and the incorporation of business firms and the consequent loss in local taxation.
The amounts called for by State, City and County Warrants were:
State Tax
$26,760.00
State Highway Tax
2,220.00
State Merrimac River Sewerage
567.05
County Tax
26,137.18
City Tax

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Mayor and City Council.
The report of the Board of Health for the year 1925 is submitted here- with.
A review of the record shows that the health of the city was, in the main, satisfactory throughout the year; although there was a sharp rise in Scarlet Fever following the opening of the schools in September, and the outbreak is not yet at an end. The Brown and Parochial schools suffered chiefly, only a few scattering cases occurring in other schools. Fortunately the disease was of a mild type. Up to Dec. 31 there had been 78 caess, with no mortality. Prompt detection of suspicious cases by the School Physician and Nurse undoubtedly served to prevent a more serious epidemic. Measles was also prevalent throughout the year.
More encouraging is the record with respect to Diphtheria, only eight cases of which occurred during the twelve month period. This corresponds with the general decline in the number of cases of this disease throughout the State, and is, perhaps, the result of the widespread use of preventive inoculation.
The year 1925 brought to a close an interesting experiment in garbage disposal which was instituted in 1922 with the hope of making this branch of community service self-supporting. Reference was made in the last annual report to complaints arising from the presence of the municipal hog farm in the north end of the city. The Board recognized the inconsistency of denying to private individuals the privilege of keeping swine within the city limits, and, at the same time itself maintaining a similar enterprise on a large scale which inevitably became offensive to an entire neighborhood during warm weather. Furthermore the Board found that the success of such an undertaking depended upon intelligent and painstaking care which could not be provided with certainty after the retirement of the late Super- intendent of the City Farm, Mr. Davis. The livestock and equipment was therefore sold, and the contract has been let out to a private individual, as in past years. We congratulate ourselves that no serious loss to the city was sustained in the undertaking, and we believe that the work of garbage
134
ANNUAL REPORT
collection and disposal has since been conducted to the satisfaction of the community by the contractor, Mr. William Sweeney.
An important duty of the Board of Health is the inspection of places where food is sold, whether in the market, for use in the homes, or in public eating places for immediate consumption. The Board endeavors, through its inspectors, to keep close surveillance upon the handling and marketing of all foodstuffs. Monthly reports are furnished by the inspectors, and the importance of detailed information as to cleanliness of utensils and equip- ment, and the care used in keeping and exhibiting perishable commodities intended for human consumption is constantly stressed. As models of such service the Board desires to commend the work of the nurses of the New- buryport Health Center, now affiliated with our Department as Board of Health nurses, serving without pay, in the inspection of all public eating places-an undertaking conducted at the request of the Board last July, and which it is our hope to have continued semi-annually. The report of this survey was furnished in full detail, and in such form that a glance at the chart is sufficient to show the conditions' existing at any hotel or restaurant as to cleanliness of waiters, table linen, refrigerators, etc. Based upon this report the Board has issued certificates of a suitable size to be exhibited in dining rooms to the proprietors of eating houses which passed the inspection successfully.
Sanitary conditions can not be secured without public cooperation. The Board of Health has striven by personal appeal to storekeepers and by not- ices in the public print to abate the waste paper nuisance on State street. This rises to its height on days when ashes and rubbish are collected and has been a! subject of complaint on the part of several of our community organizations. The problem remains unsolved; the Board lacks the power to enforce regulations unless the public health is directly endangered; and we shall have to rely solely on appeals to civic pride on the part of all citi- zens to keep the streets clean.
Reports of the several departments follow.
THOMAS R. HEALY, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK AND VINEGAR
January 25, 1926.
To the Board of Health,
Gentlemen :
An Inspector of Milk I have visited the farms of the producers, the dairies of the dealers, the stores and restaurants selling milk.
Samples of milk have been examined monthly from the dealers as to the bacterial content.
One case of poor quality of milk has been turned over to the State de- partment for analysis.
Fifty-seven dollars has been collected from license fees for milk and oleomargine.
I have in preparation maps which show the distribution of practically
140
ANNUAL REPORT
all the producers supplying the city with milk; a report of the equipment and sanitary conditions has already been submitted.
The majority of the producers have the typical New England farms with an addition of some modern equipment. At practically all of the farms the milk is handled with intelligence. At no place did I find a lack of co- operation to produce clean milk. The equipment of the dealers is, on the whole very satisfactory. The stores offer a different problem. Most of them keep the milk in bottles at a low temperature in refrigerators. Some stores which handle a very small amount of milk keep it in cans. In these cans if the milk is not sold in a comparatively short time the bacterial con- tent increases in quantity. Also there is a question of exposure to con- tamination through the continued handling of the cans when pouring out a measured quantity. I have recommended in such instances that the milk be kept in bottles.
The milk used at soda fountains and dispensed in small amounts is practically kept under sanitary conditions.
In restaurants, the milk is sold in bottles, from cans and iced contain- ers. The use of bottles and iced containers only, I have recommended.
The bacterial counts are to be published in the future in the newspaper.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. LITTLE,
Inspector of Milk.

CITY SOLICITOR
CILY SOLICITOR
January 4, 1926
To the City Council Newburyport, Mass
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the provisions of Municipal Ordinance I herewith submit a statement of the matters now pending in the Law Department.
The following matters are in litigation in the Courts :
First, 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.
Second, Benjamin J. Checkoway vs. the City of Newburyport, replevin suit in which the plaintiff procured an assessment of damage for one dol- lar. An appeal is now pending.
Third, Henry B. Little et ali vs. Charles E. Houghton and William Balch, City Officials. This is a tax payers' petition brought with refer- ence to the account of the Martin W. Dugan Company and a trial upon the merits will be given shortly.
Fourth, John J. Evans against the City of Newburyport, an action 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 New- buryport.
Fifth, Louis C. Zega vs. John L. McLean, City Marshal, a suit brought for false arrest in the sum of ten thousand dollars.
Sixth, Dorothea M. Zega vs. John L. McLean, City Marshal, a similar suit for false arrest in the sum of two thousand dollars.
Both of the Zega cases could have been tried in the Superior Court this Fall but the plaintiffs apparently were not anxious to press the same and they were continued.
Seventh, Charles E. Houghton, Tax Collector, vs. Goldia Kantrowitz.
146
ANNUAL REPORT
This is a small suit brought to recover a tax. It was tried before the Superior Court here last month but the Jury failed to agree in the case.
Eighth, Walter E. Atkinson, petitioner, against the City of Newbury- port. This is a land court case with reference to the Custom Heel Property in which the petitioner seeks to establish that the old public way existing south of the Custom House has been abandoned.
Ninth, Mary A. Nevins vs. the City of Newburyport, a suit brought in the sum of ten thousand dollars for an injury received because of an al- leged defective condition of a side walk, the injury complained of being a broken arm.
Tenth, George A. Weare against the City of Newburyport, a suit brought for alleged sewer damage in the sum of one thousand dollars.
Eleventh, County of Essex vs. the City of Newburyport. This is the Tubercular Hospital matter now pending before the Supreme Court in which I have been assisted by Robert G. Dodge of Storey, Palmer, Thorn- dike and Dodge of Boston.
I am very pleased to report that all matters pertaining to the Merri- mac Street Relocation and Widening with the exception of the Evans case have been cleared up by adjusment.
The last case to be settled was that of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows which I closed in accordance with the authority given me by the City Council.
We were fortunate in procuring releases and deeds with reference to the taking of land from George Georgakopoulas et al., one of the parties of interest coming here from Greece in order to finally clear the matter up.
All of the three eminent domain proceedings in the last four years, the New Park, the George W. Brown Schoolhouse Taking and the Merrimac Street Project have been carried out without the trial of a single case for land damage.
Once again I would remind the City Council that the Municipal Ordi- nance and the regulations of the different departments certainly need re- vision.
Respectfully yours, JAMES F. CARENS, JR.,
City Solicitor.

WATER DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT OF WATER DEPT.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Newburyport.
Gentlemen :-
The thirtieth annual report of the Board of Water Commissioners for the year ending December 19th., 1925 is herewith presented.
The work of installing the new Allis-Chalmers pump at the Main Station was completed in the latter part of the summer, and the official test, as well as subsequent operations, have proven that we have an effi- cient and economical pump to operate. This duplicate unit gives the city a pumping capacity of six million gallons daily and insures an abundant supply at all times.
A number of changes, called for by the installation of this pump, are practically completed. A new roof has been put on the station, a small ad- dition built for locker and toilet conveniences, and many changes in piping and lighting fixtures made. The entire interior, and all external wood work, have been painted in attractive colors.
A large section of hard wood growth near the station was cut during the winter to give the undergrowth of spruce light and space to grow. 5,000 additional .spruce trees have been set out, making our total planting of evergreen trees to date 32.000.
We now have a station and surrounding grounds that are a credit, and a place that all can look upon with pride.
The following are the pumping records for the year.

Thirty-two new service pipes have 'been installed requiring 1,800'-3" of pipe.
Thirty-two service pipes have been relaid requiring 1,498'-10" of pipe.
