REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To His Honor the Mayor :--
Dear Sir: - The Board of Park Commissioners submit the fol- lowing report for the year 1914 :-
We started in February to clear the brown-tail and gypsy- moths from our parks, and found not over one-half as many as usual, owing to the thorough work done the past two years.
We had the pleasure of voting to allow the United States to use Merrymount Park for drilling troops in case they should be needed for service in Mexico.
The Bath-house was opened June 1st and we had a very large attendance, considering the cool weather. We feel sure that within a very few years we should make a substantial addition as we are over-crowded every warm Saturday and Sunday. We closed the house about September 15th.
The work on the two Supervised Playgrounds was very successful. We thought best to discontinue using our supervisors at Ward Four and placed them at Ward Two, which was very satisfactory to the Board. Ward Three Playground was very largely attended, as usual.
Two sessions were held each day and one afternoon each week, · special athletic events were held for both boys and girls. Prizes were given at the end of the season on "Closing Day" to the winners of the first three places in each division.
Baseball Leagues for the boys with games between the various playgrounds weekly, and different events for the girls kept up the competition interest.
At the "Closing Day" exercises held at Merrymount Oval on Thursday afternoon, August 27th, over five hundred took part in the events. The girls gave excellent demonstration of the various dances, while the boys did fine work in athletic games and races.

Ward 3, Boys 7,064
Ward 3, Girls 6,872
Ward 5, Total Boys and Girls
5,705
28,358
We opened the Playgrounds July 6th and closed them August 29th.
We had to stop our two laborers clearing up the parks far too early as our funds were getting low.
We recommend to the in-coming Board that they secure funds to build a dressing-room in Merrymount Park to accommodate visiting teams; also, to have the telephone placed in the Bath House at
177
Quincy Point early next season, as it is much needed in case of acci- dent or sickness. We also recommend that Atlantic (Ward Six) and Ward One have supervised playgrounds.
We issued a very large number of permits to Base Ball and Foot Ball Teams, also, for many picnics.
I believe the Parks and Playgrounds were used more than ever before and the season, we believe, was, on the whole, a success.

The work of the Board has been carried on this year in much the same manner as in the past. Meetings have been held at intervals, subject to the call of the chairman. The cost of collecting the refuse this year has amounted to $19,928.09. The cost of this work neces- sarily increases each year on account of the large number of new build- ings erected which require ashes and garbage removed. In the early part of the year the charge for the removal of barrels of ashes from cellars was raised from five cents to seven and one-half cents. The Board would recommend that two double ash carts be purchased this year. We have found that double ash carts are much more satis- factory for this work than single carts. The receipts from the sale of ash tickets this year has been $482.51. The collection of garbage has been carried on the same as in the past. The receipts from the sale of garbage have amounted to $2,443.16. We would recommend that another garbage wagon be added to the equipment of this depart- The payrolls of the different departments have been as follows:
Ashes $4,120.00
Garbage 7,770.38
Scavenger 2,961.68
The appropriation for cleaning brooks was $800.00. This was an increase over last year. The total amount has been expended and the brooks placed in a sanitary condition. This year the Board was com- pelled to send a large number of cases of contagious diseases to the hospital. This necessitated the Board asking for a supplementary appropriation. The Pest House is in need of some repairs and this work should be done at an early date.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN C. MURRAY, Chairman. JOHN T. REYNOLDS, Secretary. THOMAS L. A. MUSGRAVE, BOARD OF HEALTH.

The order presented by the Board to the City Council asking that a charge be made for all permits to perform plumbing work and which failed to pass, should in my opinion, again be presented to that body and with proper explanation why a charge should be made, I can see no reason why this order should not pass. I consider that for the small amount paid to the City for a permit the owner is receiving pro- tection on quite often large amounts for a very small percentage. A charge is made by some cities for a permit and I can see no reason why this system should not be put in force in this city and it would reim- burse partly for quite an expense that this work entails. It would also have a tendency to place a little more importance upon the priv- ilege granted and would in a great measure put a stop to granting permits to people who have no intention of doing the work but file the application to hold off the order of the Board of Health to abate a nuisance. This is annoying to this department and delays the prompt enforcement of health laws.
The revised plumbing ordinance which has been in force during the year has, I think, met with the approval of the plumbers in general and the people who have had occasion to have plumbing installed. The plumbing work performed has in general been installed in a satisfactory manner with but very few complaints.
Respectfully submitted, J. J. KENILEY
Inspector of Plumbing.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Board of Health, Quincy, Mass., January 1, 1915.
Gentlemen :- It is estimated that there are 7,300,000,000 gallons of milk produced annually in the United States. While this figure seems large, it only allows for six-tenths of a pint of milk to each indi- vidual. Milk in New England forms about 16 percent of the totalfood of the average American family. While adults consume a large quantity of milk, infants and children use the greater portion, as milk is the principal article of diet up to five years of age.
Of this enormous quantity of milk produced, Quincy consumes daily about 11,400 quarts, supplied by 44 milk-men who deliver direct to the consumer or through the 121 stores licensed to sell milk.
Milk which upon analysis is shown to contain less than 12.15 per- cent of milk solids or less than 3.35 percent butter fat shall not be considered of good standard quality. Milk must comply with the above law, and must also be clean and wholesome, 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 regulation Number 49.)
The yearly average of milk consumed was 3.80 per cent for butter fat, 12.92 for milk solids and 340,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. No preservatives and coloring matter was found.
There seems to have been during the last year among the local dealers a growing disregard of Section 3, Chapter 435, Acts of 1908. I would urge all dealers to observe this law. There is an association whose object is to exchange stray bottles and I would suggest that all dealers look into this matter.
During the past year inspections of dairies and stores have been made, and with few exceptions conditions have been found satisfactory. Number of licenses to peddle milk 44
Number of licenses to sell milk 121
Amount turned over to Treasurer for license fees $82.50
For tables showing receipts and expenditures of this department, see auditor's report.
Respectfully submitted, DANIEL SCOULER, JR., Inspector of Milk.
