One swine carcass condemned, No. of lbs. 150
Lbs. of poultry condemned 43
Received from 86 licenses and paid to City Treasurer $172.00)
During the year there were only two complaints made to this department, which were investigated and found to be of a minor nature and quickly adjusted to the satisfaction of the parties con- cerned. One swine carcass was condemned by me and sent to be rendered into tallow, owing to the fact that the animal in question was slaughtered when in a state of suffocation and with high tem- perature.
This department is increasing to such an extent that it is ab- solutely necessary for your inspector to have some means of trans- portation other than street cars on his tours of inspection, especi- ally in the outlying districts, in order to properly do his work.
The ordinance passed by the City Council on June 9, 1913, re- garding Chapter 345, Acts of 1906, Revised Laws of Massachusetts, requiring all hawkers and peddlers to pay a fee of two dollars an- nually, has been of much benefit to our home merchants as it kept out of the city many undesirable peddlers of the cheaper class. You will notice the number of new licenses has decreased while the number of renewals has increased, the renewals practically all be- ing citizens of Quincy.
In the health crusade started early in the year by your Board in regard to keeping foodstuffs screened from contact with flies and dust, I have endeavored to comply with all the requirements and can say that the markets of Quincy compare favorably with other cities which I have visited for comparison.

Inspector of Meats and Provisions.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK.
The widespread agitation on the milk question which has been taking place recently, particularly among people living in this city, indicates that there is a growing demand for clean milk of good quality. No one who studies this agitation can deny that the mat- ter is a serious one. Milk in New England forms about sixteen per cent of the total food of the average American family. While adults consume a large quantity of milk, infants and children depend upon milk as their principal article of diet up to five years of age. At the present time Quincy. consumes daily about 10500 quarts of milk, supplied by sixty-one milkmen who deliver directly to the consumer, and through the 165 stores licensed to sell milk.
The inspection of a city's milk supply offers a many sided problem. The average consumer believes that milk having a plain- ly marked cream line and no visible sediment is pure, and little or no interest has been shown in the actual cleanliness and bacterial count of the milk. By straining milk all visible particles of dirt are removed, but the bacteria pass on and continue to multiply. Cleanliness in the handling of milk is of prime importance and con- sumers are advised to visit the places where their milk is produced and bottled, to see if it is handled in as cleanly a manner as are other food stuffs in their homes.
Too little attention seems to have been paid in the past to tlie provisions of Section 3, Chapter 435, Acts of 1908 which reads as follows .- "Every licensed milk dealer who sells, or has in his possession with intent to sell, milk not contained in clean vesseis bearing his own name, or the name under which his business is conducted, and bearing no other name, shall be punished by a fine of ten dollars for eachi offense." All dealers must observe this law. The statute relating to chemical standard reads as follows. (Section 56, Chapter 56, Revised Statutes) "Milk which upon analysis is shown to contain less than 12.15 per cent of milk solids or less than 3.35 per cent butter fat, shall not be considered of good standard quality." Milk must comply with the above law, and must also be clean, wholesome, and safe, complying as well with the regulations of the local Board of Health, which require that no milk shall contain more than 500,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, nor have a temperature higher than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. (See regula- tion No. 49.) During the past year inspections of dairies have been regularly made and with few exceptions conditions have been found to be satisfactory. Samples of milk have been taken from various dealers and tested for fats, solids, bacterial count, adultera- tion, preservatives, and coloring matter. No preservatives and coloring matter was found. The table below shows the result of these analyses.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Pursuant to the public statutes called the Child Labor Law, I have examined during the year three hundred and fifty-eight chil- dren, two hundred forty-one were males, one hundred seventeen females. One hundred of these were re-examinations as the revised law made invalid all working certificates issued previous to September nineteen hundred and thirteen thus making it necessary for all children in their fifteenth and sixteenth years, who wished to remain at work, to be re-examined. Have also issued seventeen age certificates. Comparing these figures with those of last year when three hundred and fifty-six examinations were made you will see that under the revised law there were ninety-eight less children, in their fifteenth and sixteenth year, working this year than in 1912. This decrease all happened after September 1, 1913, when the re- vised law became active.
