VACCINATION.
Fifteen successful vaccinations were performed at the office and 120 certificates of vaccination issued. The board continues to receive vaccination virus from the State Board of Health. It is received fresh as required and its use gives much satisfac- tion, not only in the successful results of vaccination but in the absence of all untoward effects.
BACTERIOLOGY.
Culture tubes for the diagnosis of diphtheria have been sent to the State Board of Health as heretofore. In a few cases when there was necessity of a speedy report Dr. Stratton has been employed to do the work. Antitoxine has been distributed as heretofore freely to all requesting it. It is the judgment of the board that a more general use of antoxine for purposes of immunization of persons exposed to infection is wise. Sputum cups to collect sputum for examination in suspected cases of tuberculosis and slides for specimens of blood for tests for ma- laria and typhoid fever have been furnished to physicians as in previous years. During the coming year the board hopes to have all or a great part of the bacteriological work done in this office.
DISINFECTION.
The board has disinfected with formaldehyde gas for the fol- lowing diseases, viz:

NEW SEWERS.
Public sewers were constructed in Sewall Woods road and Goodyear avenue. The construction of the sewer in Goodyear avenue was especially gratifying to the board of health as it provided for the care of the sewage from the very large number of people employed in Factory No. 2 of the Boston Rubber Shoe Co. The board renews the recommendation of last year that that portion of East Foster street east of Larrabee street should be provided with a public sewer. It renews its recom- mendation also that a public sewer be constructed in Brazil street.

BOARDING HOUSES FOR INFANTS.
The board has examined the premises of all persons licensed by the State Board of Charity to maintain boarding houses for infants and have approved the following licenses, viz: Mrs. Anna M. Pratt, Swain's Pond avenue; Mrs. Clara S. Manley, 335 E. Foster street; Mrs. M. R. Hitchins, 6 Waitt street; Mary Francis Johnson, 431 Swain's Pond avenue; Mrs. W. J. Kercher, 30 Swain's Pond avenue; Mary B. Earl, 23 Swain's Pond ave- nue, and Mrs. Russell, Swain's Pond avenue.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE STATIONS.
In this connection the board respectfully refers to the follow- ing recommendation in their annual report for the year 1904.
The board earnestly recommends the necessity for the im- mediate construction of public convenience stations in Melrose. Not less than three are required, one at the center, one at the Highlands, and one in the Wyoming district being imperatively needed.
COLLECTION OF GARBAGE.
The collection of garbage during the year has been done by contract by Richmond F. Hudson. There have been but very few complaints received at the office of the board of health and on the whole the service has been satisfactory. On December 2, 1905, after being duly advertised, the following proposals for the collection of swill and garbage for the years 1906 and 1907 were received, viz .:
Robert Philpot $1800
per year 66
R. F. Hudson

Thomas Higgins 1150

Report of Inspector of Milk and Vinegar.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF HEALTH.
GENTLEMEN :- It is gratifying to state that in the past year our milk examinations show a higher percentage of cream fats and solids than in any of the four previous years. The samples average from 2-10 to 5-10% higher than in the previous year. Only a few of the samples taken have been found to be below the standard required by law and these only slightly. One dairy that was supplying a local dealer was dropped for selling inilk below the standard and this milk does not come to the city now. Most of our milkmen are desirous of having the best ınilk to be had, and our people are fortunate in having a large number of good dairies near, which supply a large part of our milk.
Consumers are requested at any time to notify the inspector of poor quality of milk with the view of preserving the high standard of milk sold within the city. The number of persons and firms engaged in selling milk is a few less than last year, and each year the larger milk contractors are growing larger and she smaller dealers less. It is my desire that the office of the milk inspector may be brought up to a standard with the larger cities, which will require some expenditure of money but will pay for itself many times by what it may save the people.
Our vinegar supply is good, very little poor vinegar being found in Melrose.
WILLIAM S. BRIRY,

THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE MELROSE PUBLIC LIBRARY
FOR THE YEAR 1905.
To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR, CHARLES J. BARTON, AND THE HONORABLE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
GENTLEMEN :- The Trustees of the Melrose Public Library present their report for the year 1905.
We are glad to report a steadily increasing use of the library, as evidenced by the growing circulation of books and the large number of persons, both children and adults, who are daily pres- ent in the reading rooms.
During the year 64,944 volumes have been issued, a much larger number than ever before in the history of the library in a similar time. We have now 16,193 books on the shelves, 696 having been added since the last report. Included in these are many books of reference, several valuable illustrated volumes, a large addition of books for the department of history and a long list for the children's room.
The juveniles have been separated from the main collection, removed to the chidren's room and are in process of being cata- logued. In September the age at which children can become patrons was changed from twelve to ten, which proved a most popular proceeding. The room is in charge of our assistant librarian, who reports a large and constant attendance and an increasing amount of intelligent reference work in connection with school studies. The pictorial bulletins illustrating the national holidays and the birthdays of noted persons have been continued; they are valuable additions to this part of the library work beside enhancing the attractiveness of the room.
109-
CITY OF MELROSE.
A loan library has been established in the High School for the use of students, that they may have more free and convenient access to the books used in connection with the curriculum of the school.
That the library may become more and more a definite prac- tical help in the education of our children is the aim of your trustees.
The percentage of fiction has again dropped from 76.07 to 72.84 per cent. with a corresponding gain in the other depart- ments, chiefly in magazine, and history and travels. The rest show a small increase from last year.
It is a pleasure to note this evidence of the growing interest of our readers in substantial and profitable reading. A rise in the standard of the demand of patrons marks a corresponding growth in the influence of a public library in a community.
Exhibits of the Library Art Club provided by the generosity of Mrs. Charles C. Barry have been continued through the year and have been highly instructive and entertaining. We have had also at different times in the upper hall which is easily arranged as a studio, three exhibitions of paintings, by Mr. Henneman, Miss Andrews, and Miss Baker. The favor with which these were received by the public and the number of visitors in attendance encourage further effort in this direction, and we plan other exhibitions to be held later.
A large and attractive oak cabinet for the reception of articles of historic interest has been placed in the historic and art room by Faneuil Hall Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. . This is a permanent loan and contains a fine collection of relics of the last century, many of them of Revolutionary interest.
The Library of Sacred Art to be established as a memorial for Mrs. Livermore has collected eight hundred dollars and will complete the required amount in another year.
We gratefully record the reception of several gifts for the library. From Mr. John W. Farwell two volumes "Bostonian Society Publications," and thirty-four volumes comprising "Records of the Early History of Boston;" from Miss Charles twenty-two books for the children's room; and from other friends fourteen miscellaneous volumes in single donations which
110
LIBRARY REPORT.
are noted in the librarian's report. Mrs. Ackerman presented a large palm for the decoration of the historic and art room; we have received from Miss Andrews a charming painting, "An Old Well at Arles, Brittany," and from Mr. E. L. Coy an auto- graph copy of the hymn "America."
As in former years we again express our appreciation of the services of our librarian and her assistants. Always courteous, attentive and faithful, they invest their duties with an atmos- phere of friendliness, the happy opposite of the purely official manner which often characterizes public service. The care of the building by the janitor has been equally commendable and satisfactory.
The expenses of the library, despite careful supervision, are constantly increasing. Many of our departments should be enlarged if the work of the library is to be continued in a pro- gressive manner. More work calls for an increase of salaries, which is only just. Books are flimsily bound and the wear of constant circulation necessitates frequent rebinding. In the ordinary care of the building and grounds much money is re- quired. The granolithic sidewalk recently laid should be supple- mented by a substantial fence between our lot and those of ad- jacent property owners on Lake avenue. The abutters have signified their willingness to assume half the necessary expense of this improvement.
We therefore ask as desirable for the continued work of the library, the unexpended balance of last year's appropriation, the sum of $3,200 and the dog-tax.
Respectfully submitted, ANNA T. BUSH, Secretary.
