REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MORRILL MEMORIAL, LIBRARY.


In our last report reference was made to the endeavor of the Trustees to make the library of more real value to the teachers in their work in the schools, hoping that it might thereby become an educational assistant. An appeal was made to the teachers to work in conjunction with the library. The High School as in former years has responded, but the work has not extended to other grades as it has been our desire.


The growing demand for reference books has compelled us to direct our purchases in this direction, so that with the limited fund at our disposal, only 37 per cent. this year has been ex- pended for fiction. Considering the fact that So per cent. of the circulation has been fiction, if we are to meet the demands of the library in all its calls more money is absolutely necessary.


The necessity of retaining the assistant librarian for full library hours and our many other increasing expenses in main- taining the library, is consuming so much of our appropriation that only about one-half of the amount has been expended for books this year in comparison with former years. The circu- lation of books this past year is the second largest in the history of the library.


The new card catalogue cabinet has been purchased from the special appropriation with additional money from the usual fund. It is of mahogany, corresponding with the finish and furniture. It has sixty trays and slides for resting the trays


72


during consultation. It has been conveniently placed in the stack room, accessible to the charging desk and stacks, and is well lighted. The use of the catalogue has increased thereby to a great extent. The bound volumes of magazines have been withdrawn from circulation owing to their value as reference books, the liabilities of loss or destruction on account of contag- ious diseases, and the expense and difficulties in replacing. The books on the east side of the stack room have been re-adjusted so that the entire side is in use. As soon as more shelves can be procured, the remaining stack will be similarly treated. Money for this purpose is also needed.


The Trustees desire to acknowledge and express thanks for the following gifts during the year :


GIFTS.


Massachusetts, 16 volumes, 3 pamphlets.


United States, 10 volumes, 6 pamphlets.


Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I phamplet.

Rev. James B. Troy, book-mark plate.


The following public libraries have donated reports and bulletins : Boston, Fall River, Canton, Uxbridge, Brookline, Milton, and Hyde Park.


The usual financial statement for the year ending January 31, 1906 is appended, and in regard thereto, the Trustees would


73


say that there are bills unpaid for lack of funds amouting to over $200.


Respectfully submitted,


LEWIS H. PLIMPTON, Chairman, MARIA E. COLBURN, Secretary, MARTHA B. PARKER, IRVING S. FOGG, WILLIAM T. WHEDON, JAMES B. TROY, Trustees.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.


NORWOOD, MASS., FEB. 1, 1906. To the Board of Selectmen :


I hereby submit to you the following report of my work as Inspector of Animals for the past year :


In February of 1905, two cows were placed in quarantine under suspicion of having Tuberculosis. Both of these cows were passed upon by an Inspector from the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture, as being Tuberculous, and killed, and the barns in which they were kept were cleansed and disin- fected.


In the early spring three horses were reported to me as being suspicious of having Glanders. Fortunately in each case it was found that Glanders did not exist, and that the suspicion was attributable to some other cause.


In June a cow was placed in quarantine as being Tubercu- lous. She was later examined and condemned by a State Inspec- tor. She was then killed, and the barn in which she had been kept disinfected.


Notices were received in the summer from the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture, and posted in black- smith shops and other conspicuous places, warning the inhabi- tants of the prevalence of Glanders and Farcy, and of the course that it becomes their duty to pursue, should they have a suspicion of the existence of either of these diseases.


We have been especially fortunate again this year, there not having been a single case of Glanders or Farcy in our town, so far as I know.


-


78


In the fall, on two occasions, a car load of cattle came into the town from without the State. After the acceptance of certi- ficates of a satisfactory Tuberculin test by the Chief of the Cattle Bureau, they were ordered released from quarantine.


About the first of October orders were received from the Cattle Bureau to make a complete inspection of all neat cattle, sheep, and swine, within the town. This inspection, the same as is ordered each year, is made with reference to the existence of any contagious disease, to the general physical condition of the food producing animals, and to the cleanliness and sanitary conditions of the premises in which they are housed.


An Inspector is governed somewhat by the history of the herd as obtained from the owner or person in charge of the stock. It is then obvious, that to obtain good results, stock owners must co-operate with the Inspector. During this inspec- tion there were 77 premises visited. There was found to be 83 stables, containing 401 cattle, and 70 pigs. Nine cattle were placed in quarantine as being suspicious of having Tuberculosis.


These cattle were examined by a State Inspector, and four of them condemned as being Tuberculous. These were killed, and upon post-mortem examination revealed the presence of Tuberculosis. Three were released as not showing a sufficient development of the disease to warrant taking them on a physical examination, and the other two were released on account of lack of funds.


Except for these cattle, the animals were found, in most places, to be generally in good physical condition, kept reason- ably clean, and housed in stables sufficiently roomy, well lighted, well ventilated, and provided with suitable drainage. An official report of this inspection has been sent in detail to the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture. Early in the winter a car load of cattle came into town from without the State, with- out having the usual permit, or having been previously tested. They were placed in quarantine, and subjected to the State


79


Tuberculin test. One cow reacted, and was condemned and killed. The others were released from quarantine.


After the first of the year, the two cows that had been quarantined previously and released by lack of funds, were again placed in quarantine, and after being examined by a State In- spector, were condemned and killed.


In January two cows were called to my attention as being suspicious of Tuberculosis. They were not considered to have sufficiently developed symptoms to warrant placing them in quarantine, but will be examined again later.


Yours respectfully,


JAMES J. MULVEHILL, M.D.V., Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN DRAIN.


The Committee to whom was referred article seventeen of the Town Meeting held June 30, 1905, reports as follows :-


We employed an engineer who went over the old sewer and adjoining ground ; made a plan for taking care of the present sewerage, and presented it to the State Board of Health, who report as follows : -


The Board has caused the locality to be examined by its engineer and has considered the plan submitted. The location of the proposed filter beds is at such a distance from the village and from dwelling houses, that its use for the purpose now proposed is unlikely to be objectionable for the present at least.


The plan has several objectionable features, the most im- portant of which are the comparatively slight elevation of the filters above the level of the brook, the shallowness of the filter- ing material, and the danger of the escape of a large amount of unpurified sewerage by leakage from the sewer when the outlet is raised to the surface of the beds and the liability of clogging in the depressed part of the sewer ; and the necessity of remov- ing some of these objectionable features may entail a larger expense than is now expected, since, if the sewer should leak badly or become clogged, or the filter beds should not operate satisfactorily, it may be necessary to rebuild a considerable portion of the sewer, and to raise the level of the filter beds by filling.


In the opinion of the Board it is desirable for the town to abandon the present sewer and construct without delay a suffi-


83


cient portion of the proposed sewerage system of the town to dispose of the contents of this sewer. The Board, however, approves the plan for temporary disposal of the sewage upon the proposed filtering area, with the understanding that the level of the filter beds shall be raised if necessary, and provided also that the use of this area for sewage disposal shall be discontinued when a sewerage system for the town shall be constructed.


The Board hereby extends the time for the removal of the sewage of the town sewer from the Neponset river and its tribu- taries to July 1, 1906.


The Committee therefore recommends that the town pro- ceed to the election of three sewer commissioners as provided for in Chaper 311, Acts of 1901, who are to proceed to construct such parts of a main sewer, sewer beds, etc., as will take care of the town sewer, and when completed shall be a part of the general sewer system of the town.


Yours respectfully, M. M. ALDEN, H. M. PLIMPTON, F. L. FISHER, The Committee.


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.


To the voters of Norwood :


Many complaints have been investigated during the past year, and nuisances abated, overflowing cesspools and unsanitary plumbing furnishing the greatest number of cases.


COLLECTION OF SWILL.


The collection of swill has been in the hands of Mr. Joseph Siegmund of Walpole, and we believe has been cared for in a careful and generally satisfactory manner. The amount of swill collected, and the distance travelled have materially in- creased during the year, in consequence of which the contract price for collecting has been increased to $200.00 per year.


PLUMBING INSPECTIONS.


The Inspector of Plumbing, Mr. F. E. Colburn, and the Assistant Inspector, Mr. E. J. Winn of Dedham, have made one hundred and five inspections during the year.


SEWERAGE.


The question of a sewerage system for Norwood has received considerable attention during the past few months from the Business Association and Board of Trade, as well as from the citizens of the town, in their meetings. That the town needs sewerage is conceded by all who have a knowledge of existing conditions, and the prevalence of the more severe contagious dis- eases, especially scarlet fever, only adds force to the argument for its early installation. We trust that a beginning, at least, may be made during the coming months.
