BOOTS AND SHOES, $164.65.
In most cases, where boots and shoes have been given out, they have been given so that children could attend the public schools. I have refused to give them in some cases (when perhaps the children really needed them) when asked to do so by teachers or the truant officer, where the parents were not paupers and did not ask aid from the city.
DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING, $47.05.
A very small amount has been expended under this head. Orders have been given only when help of this kind seemed strictly necessary.
BURIALS, $175.15.
Orders were given for the burial of fourteen persons. It would be a great convenience to have a cemetery near by in which the city owned a lot, for the burial of paupers.
FUEL, $677.60.
Wood and coal have been given during the winter to a large extent. It seems to me that aid in this way really helps more than in any other. If a family of children can be kept warm in winter, their friends, in most cases, will supply them with food. The custom has been to give a quarter of a ton of coal and a half a foot of wood each month, from November to March inclusive. We have given a little in the summer, in cases of sickness.
221
REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
I would suggest the expediency of purchasing a few cords of hard wood in the autumn, and having it housed in some con- venient place. Where a family in which there is a man calls for aid, as is frequently the case, let him work for what aid they re- ceive. This plan has been successful in other cities, and will in most cases prevent coming for help except when it is really needed. Arrangements could be made to dispose of the pre- pared wood, so that the city would be financially the gainer in the end.
SALERIES, $1,450.
The amount paid for salaries is only $50.00 more than it was prior to 1885, when the law governing the Overseers of the Poor was changed. The General Agent receives $1,200, and the Secretary, $250.
SUNDRIES, $289.46.
This item includes the travelling expenses of the General Agent, cash paid to paupers, stationery, &c:
GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD, -It affords me great pleasure to thank you for your uniform courtesy, and for the readiness on your part to give me your support and advice in all matters brought before you for consideration. I will refer you to the statistical tables, prepared by the Secretary, for further infor- mation.
Respectfully submitted,
C. C. FOLSOM, General Agent.

Verbal notices from the Inspector have, in many cases, led to the abatement of nuisances without further action.
PRIVATE STREETS. - In our last report we called attention to the bad sanitary condition of some of the private streets. It is true the city is not responsible for their maintenance; but, as concerted action by the abutters can hardly be expected, good judgment would seem to require that they be cared for suffi- ciently, at least, to protect the public health. This can often times be done at very little outlay, by levelling the surface with surplus materials of no value.
Dane Court has been put in good order during the past year by the Highway Department, at our request. A neighboring street was being graded and the surplus filling was spread in the court and covered with ashes.
South and Willow Streets have also been improved by the same department, by placing several hundred loads of gravel thereon. A serious nuisance, to which attention was called in the last annual report of this Board, has thus been abated.
Chestnut Street, extending eastwardly from Poplar Street, still needs attention, and also Franklin Avenue, near Franklin Street, the difficulty in the avenue being due chiefly to the flow of water from Franklin Street, for which a catch basin should be provided.
PERMITS.
Deeming that the density of the population in many sections of the city required some restriction upon the keeping of cows,
230
ANNNAL REPORTS.
the following regulations were adopted May 2, and published in the three following issues of the Somerville Journal and the Somerville Sentinel :
REGULATIONS CONCERNING COWS.
IN BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE CITY OF SOMERVILLE, May 2d, 1888.
Ordered: That on and after July 1st, 1888, no person shall keep, or allow to be kept, within the limits of the City in any building, or on any prem- ises, of which he may be the owner, lessee, tenant, or occupant, more than one cow, without a written permit from the Board of Health. Every person keeping a cow shall cause the place where it is kept to be well ven- tilated and drained, and kept at all times in a cleanly and wholesome con- dition. Such permit may be revoked at any time when such revocation shall appear to the Board to be necessary for the public health and safety. All such permits shall expire on the first day of May annually.
A true copy of regulations passed by the Board of Healthı of Somerville, May 2, 1888. Attest :
GEORGE I. VINCENT, Clerk.
Since the adoption of these regulations several parties who kept large numbers of cows have either gone out of the business or removed elsewhere. One party has been prosecuted for keeping cows without a permit, and conviction secured.
Applications for permits to keep cows, swine, and goats, to collect grease and to remove manure, have been disposed of as follows : -
Cows. - Applications were received from 65 parties for per- mits to keep 319 cows. Permits were granted to 55 parties for 257, and were refused for the balance. No fee.
SWINE. - Applications received for 198; permits granted for 194 and refused for 4. Fee, $1.00 for each swine.
GOATS. - Applications received for 22 and they were all granted. Fee, $1.00 for each goat.
GREASE. - Number of applications received, 5; all of which were granted. Fee, $2.00. One of the applicants resided in Boston and the others were citizens of Somerville. An inspec- tion of the wagons is made monthly. We learn from the Board of Health of Boston and Cambridge that 15 Somerville parties were licensed during the year to collect grease in the former city, and 4 in the latter.
231
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
MANURE. - We have granted 14 permits to haul manure through the streets of the city in the day time between May 1 and Dec. 1, and 16 permits to remove manure from stables within the city, during the same period, and convey it through the streets, under the restrictions stated in our last report.
PEDLERS.
In pursuance of ordinance No. 40, entitled " Hawkers and Pedlers," 102 certificates of record have been given to pedlers of goods in our streets. This number is in addition to the 137 who received such certificates last year, but a great many of them have given up the business.
A monthly inspection is made at the Police Building, to see that the name and number are properly painted on the wagon and that the wagon is kept clean.
ASHES.
The contract with Jeremiah McCarthy for the removal of ashes expired April 29.
The collections up to that time had been once a week in each ward; but in the more densely populated wards, especially Ward Two, it had been found impracticable to collect all the ashes in one day. Accordingly new districts, to take effect with the new contract, were established as follows : -
DISTRICT 1. Beginning at the Boston line and bounded by the northerly line of Washington Street, the westerly line of Prospect Street, the northerly line of Concord Avenue extended across Beacon Street to the Cambridge line, and by the Cam- bridge and Boston lines.
DISTRICT 2. Beginning at the Boston line, and bounded by the northerly line of Washington Street, the easterly lines of Medford and Cross Streets (the latter prolonged to the Mystic River), Mystic River and the Boston line.
DISTRICT 3. Beginning at the junction of Cross and Medford Streets, and bounded by the easterly line of Medford Street, the northerly line of Highland Avenue, the easterly line of Cedar Street prolonged to the Medford line, the Medford line, Mystic River, and the easterly line of Cross Street prolonged to the river.
232
ANNUAL REPORTS.
DISTRICT 4. Beginning at the intersection of Medford and Washington Streets, and bounded by the northerly line of Washington Street, the westerly line of Prospect Street, the northerly line of Somerville Avenue, the easterly lines of Moss- land and Cedar Streets, the northerly line of Highland avenue, and the easterly line of Medford Street.
DISTRICT 5. Beginning at the intersection of Prospect Street and Somerville Avenue, and bounded by the westerly line of Prospect Street, the northerly line of Concord Avenue prolonged to the Cambridge line, the Cambridge line (extending west- wardly) and the northerly line of Somerville Avenue.
DISTRICT 6. All of that portion of the city lying west of the easterly lines of Cedar and Mossland Streets.
It will be seen by these descriptions that the side lines of streets are used as boundaries, and not the middle lines; so that ashes are removed from the sidewalks on both sides of the street on the same day.
In response to solicitations published in the Somerville Journal of April 14, and mailed to various parties, proposals to remove ashes during the year commencing April 30, were received as follows : from
Martin Gill
$2,700
T. F. Crimmings
2,575
Jeremiah McCarthy
2,575
John P. Downey
2,490
and the contract was awarded to John P. Downey, he furnishing a bond, with sureties, in the sum of three thousand dollars.
The collections are made on the following named days : -
Monday in District 1.
Tuesday in District 2.
Wednesday in District 3.
Thursday in District 4.
Friday in District 5.
Saturday in District 6.
The collector is required to remove all ashes, rubbish, and house dirt (free from filth and offal) that is placed in barrels or boxes on the outer edge of the sidewalk before 8 o'clock A.M. of the day for collection.
233
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
HOUSE OFFAL.
House offal has been collected by Henry Gray, under a three- years' contract dating from June 26, 1886, for the sum of nine hundred dollars per annum.
He is required to make the collections at least once every week in December, January, February and March ; twice a week in April, October, and November, and three times per week in the five remaining months.
The contractor informs us that about four hundred and fifty cords were collected during the year.
NIGHT SOIL.
Night soil has been removed during the year by Mr. R. M. Johnson of Arlington; his contract, which expired Feb. 1. 1888, having been renewed for three years. Orders are taken at the Police Station on Bow Street, and at Knowles Bros.' grocery store on the corner of Perkins and Franklin Streets. The removal is made by the " odorless " process, and the price is four dollars for every load, or part of a load, of eighty cubic feet.
We are informed by the contractor that 568 loads have been removed in the year 1888.
SEWERS.
In the last two reports of this board, the necessity for sewers in Madison, Montrose, and Woodbine Streets has been noted. We understand that petitions for sewers have been presented to the Board of Aldermen by the owners on the two streets first named, and we hope they will be favorably considered. The soil is a heavy clay, and the land sloping, so that a great part of the sewage runs on the surface. In Wood- bine Street the land is wet, and a sewer is needed both for house and surface drainage. A sewer should also be laid in Kent Court. The preliminary steps for this sewer were taken last year, but final action was postponed, because a few of the abut- ters objected on account of the expense. The neighborhood is thickly settled and the land flat, and cesspools are inadequate.

DISEASES DANGEROUS TO PUBLIC HEALTH.
Of the diseases classed by this board as dangerous to public health, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and typhoid fever are the only ones that have visited our city during the year.
SCARLET FEVER. - This disease, which was specially preva- lent in the last three months of 1887, subsided in the winter of 1887-8. 123 cases and 15 deaths were reported during the year 1888, of which 88 cases and 13 deaths occurred in the first four months.
In 1887 there were 202 cases and 31 deaths, of which 118 cases and 27 deaths occurred in the last three months. Warning

ANNUAL REPORTS.
cards are placed on the houses, and the premises are fumigated after the termination of the disease.
DIPHTHERIA. - This disease has increased over the year 1887, but its prevalence has not been greater than in the average of previous years. 75 cases and 21 deaths were reported, as com- pared with 44 cases and 11 deaths in 1887, and 91 cases and 20 deaths in 1886.
We use warning cards and fumigation in dealing with this disease, the same as with Scarlet Fever, and we also have the sanitary condition of the premises investigated. The Inspector's table of the sanitary condition of premises visited by this disease, which has been published in the reports of previous years, is omitted from this report.
TYPHOID FEVER. - More deaths have occurred from Typhoid Fever during the past year than in any other of the last ten years, there having been 63 cases and 17 deaths, of which 42 cases and 10 deaths occurred in September, October, and November. This result was probably due to the great rain-fall, the warmth, and the exposed condition of the ground.
We examine the sanitary condition of premises where this disease occurs, but do not use a warning card or fumigate.
