BOARD OF HEALTH


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


WAYLAND, February 26, 1910.


TOWN OF WAYLAND, CITIZENS :


The Board of Health wish to submit the following report :


In the past year the Town of Wayland mingles with those at the top of the list in regard to contagious diseases. Since April 1, 1909, there have been only two cases of typhoid fever, and two cases of scarlet fever that have been reported. The cases of measles will not exceed twenty.


During the ensuing year, the board wish to call the attention to the citizens of the danger of expectorating on sidewalks and in public buildings, also leaving cans, pails, etc., containing water around to breed the mosquito.


You will notice in the stagnant water, small squirming snake- like bodies darting around. These become mosquitoes.


The citizens are asked to co-operate with us cordially in these small trifles.


Respectfully yours,


W. C. HUNTING, THOS. BRYANT, CHAS. BALDWIN,


Board of Health

TOWN OF WAYLAND


REPORT OF CATTLE INSPECTOR


WAYLAND, Mass., Feb. 26, 1910.


Gentlemen: The following is the report of cattle inspection for the past year.


Previous to the general inspection eight head of milch cows have been quarantined and killed. All were affected with tuber- culosis.


At the general inspection five head of milch cows were killed.


Three carloads have been attended to, being property of out of town farmers and dealers.


General examinations on complaint have been made, but showed not sufficient evidence to quarantine.


No cases of rabies have been observed, but several examina- tions have been made on suspicious subjects with no develop- ments.


At the present there are about eight hundred head milch cows in the Town of Wayland, with addition of several bulls, which will be found in large herds and young stock.


Respectfully submitted,


THOS. BRYANT, V. S. Cattle Inspector

OVERSEERS OF THE POOR


REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR


FOR THE YEAR ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 1910


WAYLAND, MASS., March 1, 1910.


The Overseers are pleased to state that the improved conditions connected with their department substantiate their claims of previous financial extravagance in the past, and which we now feel fully convinced has been remedied.


By the sale of the Town Farm for the sum of ($2,750) two thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars, we feel a move in the right direction was made, as by comparison of the cost of keeping the poor at the present time and the cost of keeping them at the Town Farm will readily show. We believe fully that the sale of the Town Farm property will meet with the commendation of all, if not now, in later times, as the money received therefrom has been accruing interest and will continue to do so, resulting in a revenue to the town annually, instead of a burden, as in the past.


As the past year has been the first for boarding our poor out- side of the limits of the town, we are pleased to offer herein a statement showing the difference in cost resulting from their support under the present arrangement as compared with that of the past, the former showing a considerable financial gain, as well as improved surroundings and quarters for keeping these de- pendents.


The average cost of keeping the poor at the Town Farm Home weekly during the year ending 1908, which was the last full year under the old arrangement, was approximately about ($6) six dollars each. The cost of maintaining them at the Worcester Home, with all its modern improvements and homelike condi- tions caused an expense of a little less than ($3) three dollars each.


We would also state that the condition of the outside poor is considerably improved, in view of the fact that they are becom- ing more self supporting and less liable to practice extravagance.


The Overseers, during the year, had occasion to find some few who, in our opinion, were deserving of charity, and who did not


58


TOWN OF WAYLAND


hold settlement in the town. Having no funds available to cover such cases, it was necessary to seek subscription in order to render the necessary assistance, and we wish at this time to express our sincere thanks to our benefactors in these times of need, for the kindly manner in which they furnished substantial aid to help us as above stated.


In taking an inventory after the sale of the Town Home property we found the following possessions there: one wagon, one set of single harness, one pair of scales (in fair condition). The house furnishings, which were very few, were practically worthless, the entire holdings as mentioned above being sold to Mr. George E. Bezanson, formerly warden of the Home, for the sum of ($79) seventy-nine dollars, which we considered a very fair money proposition. As he held a bill against the town amounting to ($28) twenty-eight dollars, in payment of board for Mr. John Boyle, also ($9) nine dollars for board of one horse and ($5) for wood furnished the town, in settlement of his purchase from us, we allowed the amount of his bill to be deducted therefrom, which leaves a balance of ($37) thirty-seven dollars as due the Town. As Mr. Ricker was unfortunately indisposed through illness, no settlement as yet has been made in this matter.


In closing we would respectfully ask that the sum of ($1,000) one thousand dollars be appropriated for the support of the poor for the ensuing year.


Following is a statement showing the financial transaction of this department during the year ending February 28, 1910.

FIRE DEPARTMENT


REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS WAYLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT


The engineers of the Fire Department submit the following report for your consideration. When we met May 1st, we found the village of Cochituate was without any fire companies. We immediately organized with a full complement of efficient men.


We found, after the former firemen were paid the sum of $334.92, that bills were already contracted and approved, leaving us only the sum of $262.27 for the year.


We have five hundred feet of hose practically useless, four hun- dred feet of which has been tested by the O'Callahan Co., and condemned. The poles of the fire alarm system between David and Sidney Loker's are decayed and unsafe.


The equipment of the Hook and Ladder truck is worn out, and in an unserviceable condition. The heating apparatus at the Engine House is worn out and beyond repair. The following vote of the fire company at Wayland Center passed at a meeting held May 4, 1909, has been approved by the Board of Engineers. " Voted that the name of the company be changed from the E. W. Marston Combination Truck Company No. 1, to read, Wayland Combination Truck Company No. 1."

TOWN OF WAYLAND


RERORT OF FOREST WARDEN


At the last regular town meeting, it was voted to adopt the forest fire laws. Having been appointed by the Selectmen, and approved by the State Forester, May 1, I assumed the duties of Forest Warden and posted notices on forest fire laws.


Mr. W. S. Lovell was chosen deputy for Wayland center, Mr. Geo. Richardson and Mr. David Fiske were also chosen deputies for their localities. There were fifteen permits granted to build fires in Cochituate, and two in the Center. There were two com- plaints of people building fires on land belonging to others. There were but two fires in Cochituate with slight damage, and two in the Center. It appears that the people of Wayland are doing their share in care and watchfulness, to preserve the forest lands of the State. The town needs further equipment to fight forest fires in the line of cans or barrels of water, ready to take into the woods. In loading chemical tanks, much delay is sometimes caused waiting for water to be brought to the fire fighters. Con- sidering the very dry season last year, it is remarkable we had so few fires.


CLARENCE S. WILLIAMS, Forest Warden.
