REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Board of Health of the town of Wayland herewith present their report for the year 1900-1901.
This has been the first year when a regularly organized Board of Health has existed, and necessarily there has arisen a countless number of things, some of which have required careful considera- tion. It has been the desire of the board not to interfere, unless it seemed to them necessary, in any matter coming under their control, but in several instances where some measures were needed for protection to the public health, action has been taken. We have received numerous complaints from different sources, princi- pally about cesspools, and in some cases, though notified, the parties at fault have neglected to abate such nuisances.
Of course, during the cold weather the average nuisance would be concealed, but whenever a written complaint, which is required by the board, has been handed in, it has been taken up and con- sidered. We have been fortunate in not having many contagious diseases in our town the past year, which speaks well for it as a residential place, but in some sections of the town it will be neces- sary in the near future to take action, if possible, and in unison with one or two neighboring towns, see what can be done relating to the basins at the southerly part of the town. We have kept informed concerning them and at a meeting soon to be held we hope some favorable move will be made by the Metropolitan Water Board.
A bill has already been introduced into the Legislature and referred to the Committee on Public Health, having reference to the meadow basins of Lake Cochituate.
Attention of the board has been called to the condition of several
45
piggeries in the north end of the town. These have been visited and the law relating to the same explained to the owners. The board has taken no action further than to notify the parties com- plained of of their intention to abate all such nuisances, preferring that the parties themselves should conform to the requirements of public health.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE WAYLAND WATER WORKS.
We have passed through another very dry year, and the water in the basin was quite low for about three months.
We had enough rain in the fall to fill the basin, and it has re- mained so all winter.
We did not enter into any new work or extensions this year, simply doing the work that was necessary to keep the works in as good shape as possible.
The maintenance account is as follows :

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
We beg to report the following fires to which the department responded for the year ending March 1, 1901 :
March 1, 12.50 P. M. Alarm from box 24 for fire in Loker build- ing, Main street, in that part occupied by George Chalmers, caused by explosion of kerosene lamp; owing to the location of the building had it not been for the prompt response of the fire department the loss might have been great.
April 6, 7.05 P. M. Alarm from box 36 for fire in H. E. Ham- mond's woods.
June 1. Alarm from box 23 for a fire in out building of Sarah Stone, German Hill street, cause unknown. Slight damage.
June 20, 3.30 A. M. Alarm from engine house for fire in Puritan Color Works, North Natick. Did not respond, it being thought unnecessary.
June 22, 7.25 P. M. Alarm from box 34 for fire in Edgar Loker's ice house ; extinguished by chemicals.
September 21, 3 A. M. Alarm from box 30 for fire in Colburn Dean's shoe factory, occupied by Rosco Dean. Fire probably incendiary. Loss, total.
We appointed W. C. Hunting, Superintendent of the fire alarm, but he would not accept, the salary being so small.
Mr. Hunting had also notified us he wanted the battery jars removed from his place as they gave his family so much uneasi- ness during electrical storms.
As we had no place for them we conferred with the Selectmen in regard to the matter, and it was decided to put an addition on the rear of the engine house at an expense of $115.67.
September 28, batteries were removed to new room in engine house since which time they have been taken care of by engineers, and they have been much improved by putting in the new system of
59
wiring, there being much less danger of being burned out by elec- trical storms, or by getting crossed by electric wires.
We have been over the fire alarm district resetting poles where needed, cutting out all limbs of trees where resting on wires, and putting on new insulators where needed, there being a great many broken, at an expense of $9.00.
Mr. N. C. Griffin gave a furnace for the engine house which he put in November 2; this is one of the long-needed and great improvements, as before it was necessary to take the chemical extinguishers from the house to prevent freezing during cold weather.
We appreciate the generous gift of Mr. Griffin, as also do the firemen and townspeople.
After the furnace was put in we found it necessary for some one person to look after it, and to avoid a continual expense we have fitted up a small room in the engine house at an expense of $34, the rent of which is given to a fireman for taking care of the furnace. This we believe to be a great advantage to the fire department, as it gives us one fireman in the engine house every night.
There has been a Hopper closet and cesspool put in at an expense of $12.80. Also a smoke heater to heat the battery room at an expense of $8.00. As this is heat that would otherwise escape up the chimney, it is no additional expense to heating the room.
The engine house, carriages and equipment, battery room and fire alarm system are all in good condition.
December 3, W. L. King was appointed on the Board of Engi- neers to fill a vacancy caused by F. E. Yeager's resignation.
We have received for firemen's pay $400, and added the unexpended balance of last year, $24.00, and have turned over to the companies $424.00. The engineers recommend that the sum of $700.00 be appropriated for the firemen's pay, superintendent of fire alarm, and general maintenance of fire department and fire alarm.
Respectfully submitted,
E. W. MARSTON, Chief, A. J. RICKER, First Assistant, W. L. KING, Clerk.

We recommend that the sum of six hundred and forty dollars be transferred from water rates to pay interest on water bonds.
That the Selectmen be authorized to draw from the contingent fund such sums of money as may be necessary, not exceeding six hundred dollars, for assisting needy soldiers and their families.
That the sum of three thousand dollars be appropriated for in- terest on town debt to be taken from the contingent fund.
That the money for removing snow be drawn from the contingent fund.
That the sum of three thousand dollars be appropriated from the contingent fund to build Baldwin's bridge as ordered by the county commissioners.
We have carefully considered the needs of the various depart- ments and find that the sums recommended, if adopted, will meet the needs of the departments and are as low as can be safely recommended.
