Thirty-five two-pin and fifty four-pin arms were replaced with new. Two miles of wire have been run in and insulated from the trees.
Five hundred and twenty inspections of box movements were made, making the necessary repairs on same.
During the past year the Police Red Light System has been rebuilt. and put in first class system, the old system, which never gave satisfaction, was taken out and one of my own installed which is yet in the experimental. stage, but working out very efficient.
INSPECTION OF WIRES

FRED A. EDWARDS, Wire Inspector
Report of Inspector of Buildings
To His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. Gentlemen :---
As predicted in my last year's report, there has been quite an increase in building construction over the year 1918, when only one hundred and nine permits were issued at an estimated value of $91,785.00.
There were two hundred and fifty permits issued the present year- with an estimated value of $310,383.00, divided as follows :-
40 Dwellings
Valued at
$184,500.00
101 Private Garages
39,293.00
2 Public Garages
66
14,250.00
85 Alterations.
66
66
64,100.00
22 Other Buildings
66
8,240.00
250 Total value
$310,383.00
One would naturally think that the extra cost of labor and material. would increase the estimated cost as handed in by the owner or builder, but there is very little difference between the year 1914, when the war began, and now. The following table may be of interest. Using the dwelling as a basis, I find the average for each is as follows :-
1915
average value per house $3,880.00
1916
66
66
3,832.00
1917

3,634.00
1918
66
66
3,960.00
1919
6
66
4,612.00
66
According to statistics furnished by the government the increased cost of everything that goes into the construction of a house has advanced more than 100%, and yet the estimated cost of construction as handed into this office is only a little over 18 %.
The Department is continually annoyed by people beginning to build small buildings and making alterations without in any way informing the Department or obtaining a permit, which is very annoying to the Inspector and more annoying and sometimes expensive to the other fellow when he gets found out.
There are two ways to remedy this. One is to pay the Inspector money enough so he can give his whole time to it and visit the whole city often enough to avoid an opportunity for the above method of doing. things. The other way is to consolidate or unite the Wiring, Plumbing as it pertains to building construction and alterations, and the Building Inspection under one department called the Building Department; each department under its own head as now, with possibly one office for all ..
53
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
This would not increase the cost of the departments, but would give an opportunity for the Inspectors to keep in closer touch with each other and give a better construction throughout the city.
Again I wish to thank any and all who have in any way helped this Department in carrying on its work.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM S. ALLEN, Inspector of Buildings

Report of the Board of Health
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen, City of Melrose :-
Gentlemen :- The Board of Health respectfully submits herewith its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1919.
The membership is as follows, to wit: Clarence P. Holden, M.D .; Ralph R. Stratton, M.D .; and William A. Tomer.
DISEASES DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH
General Health .- The general health of the city during the year of 1919 has been very good notwithstanding there was a considerable number of cases of influenza and its resulting pneumonia, being a continuation of the great pandemic of 1918. The total number of deaths in the year was 214 as against 284 in 1918.
Diphtheria .- Only thirteen cases of diphtheria were reported during the whole year, the least nunber recorded during the past ten years, but these thirteen cases gave us a death list of three. None of these cases ought to have died. In this connection the following quotation from the report of 1918 is worthy of repetition. "It is regretable that any case in these times should die from diphtheria, because if recognized and treated early as it should be, with antitoxin, there ought not to be any deaths from diphtheria."
Scarlet Fever .- There were forty-eight cases with only three deaths.
Typhoid Fever .- Three cases with no deaths.
Whooping Cough .- Sixty-five cases and no deaths.
Tuberculosis .- There remained on the list of cases December 31, 1918, thirty cases; new cases reported in 1919, twelve; removed from other places, three; removed from arrested list, one; making a total of forty- six cases.
The disposition of these cases was as follows: Arrested, six; deaths, ten; removals, three; cases not found in Melrose, one; leaving twenty-six cases on the list December 31, 1919.
Thirteen different cases during the year were cared for in hospitals and sanatoriums.
During the past ten years the death rate from tuberculosis remains fairly constant; five years there being ten deaths; one year there being eleven, one year there being twelve, and two years there being thirteen. It is estimated by the best scientific opinion that for every death from tuberculosis in any community, there are at least ten active cases. It will be seen from this that less than half of the actual cases in Melrose in 1919 were reported to the Board of Health.
58
CITY OF MELROSE
The total amount expended in the care of tuberculosis in 1919 was $1,514.00 as against $1,553.49 in 1918.
Bacteriology .- The bacteriological examination of milk is done by the Inspector of Milk and full details will be found in his report. The other bacteriological work is sent to the laboratories of the State Department of Public Health.
Vaccination .- Ninety-five successful vaccinations have been performed at this office, and one hundred forty-one certificates of successful vaccina- tions have been issued.
Work Certificates .- Health Certificates to work were given to one hundred and two children.
SCHOOL INSPECTION
School Inspection under the Board of Health was continued during the year as heretofore. The Public Health Nurse is employed one-half time as School Nurse and her report will be found of interest in this connection.
GARBAGE COLLECTION
Garbage collection has been continued under contract as during previous years. It is the opinion of the Board that the contract system should be abolished and the work of garbage collection done directly by the city and preferably by the Public Works Department, which matter is now pending action by the Board of Aldermen.
GARBAGE AND RUBBISH
Chapter 6, Section 1, of the Regulations of the Board of Health has been amended and reads as follows, viz:
"Householders and the proprietors of stores, groceries and markets, or any other places where garbage is made, kept or stored, and the land- lords of all apartment and tenement houses shall provide separate recep- tacles, of sufficient size, for household waste and garbage.
First .- A covered, watertight, flyproof bucket for offal, refuse, animal and vegetable waste, such receptacles to be kept covered, in a place secure from the depredation of dogs and other animals, and convenient of access. The contents thereof to be removed only by the persons authorized by the Board of Health.
Second .- All garbage must be drained and water kept out of the garbage bucket. No tin cans, broken crockery or glass bottles shall be

Third .- Barrels, preferably of iron, shall be provided for ashes and other dry household waste, to be removed by or under the supervision of the Superintendent of Public Works. All paper should be securely bundled or baled, and kept separate from the ashes."

No cesspool shall be covered until inspected and approved by an agent or inspector of the Board of Health.

And no such boiler or other vessel or tank in which water is to be heated under pressure shall be installed if the working pressure is greater than forty-two and one-half per cent of the guaranteed test pressure marked thereon by the maker.

BARBER SHOPS
The barber shops have been inspected, and are rated from a sanitary viewpoint as good, fair and unclean.
7 are rated good
1 is rated fair
O are rated unclean
DAIRY INSPECTION
Dairies are rated as good, fair and unclean.
11 were rated good
2 were rated fair
0 were rated unclean
70 licenses were issued :- 29 to sell milk from stores; 21 to sell milk from wagons; 20 to sell oleomargarine.
Each year sees a further diminution in the number of local dairies · supplying milk to Melrose. This is much to be regretted because it means that more and more of our supply is brought from a distance.
The Board desires to emphasize the fact that the milk supply of Melrose is good and that milk, notwithstanding the increase in price, remains about the cheapest food that can be bought, certainly cheaper than meat.
People ought, especially with children, to economize in other direc- tions than in the milk supply.
