PUBLIC LIBRARY.
61
ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
14
The Trustees of the Public Library in presenting this their fourth annual report are pleased to record increased interest on the part of the public in the Library. Each additional year finds a larger circulation of books and a greater number of cards in use. While this condition is gratitying, yet the Trustees are not satisfied with the present status of the Library. They appreciate fully the good work that is being done in supplying good and wholesome books to the people but they realize what might be accomplished with larger and more convenient accommodations. It is the function of a Public Library to instruct as well as to entertain, and this, the most important part of its work, can be but poorly performed under the present conditions. It is perhaps not surprising that the most valuable books belonging to the Library, its reference books, remain on its shelves from year to year without being once consulted, when we consider the small corner assigned in our Library room for the use of the public and remember that last year on an average 1 58 books were given out each day that the library was open. There is a great need of an additional room supplied with tables and chairs where students and others can use the works of reference belonging to the Library. The present condi- tion of affairs has its effect not only upon the kind of books the public demand and read, but it is having a serious effect upon the Library itself, for the Trustees are forced, in making the selection of new books, to purchase only such as will go into circulation. It is to be hoped that be- fore many years the town will appropriate a larger sum for
62
ANNUAL REPORT.
the support of the Library, in order that its usefulness and value can be extended.
Meanwhile the trustees earnestly urge the teachers of our public schools to familiarize themselves with the scientific and historical books belonging to the Library so that they can intelligently aid in the circulation of such books among the young men and women with whom they are associated, and which would prove of great benefit to them in their studies.
During the past year there has been issued from the Library 16,491 volumes or an average of 158 each day that the Library has been open. 70 new cards have been issued making the number now in use 1970
The Trustees lost two of their members during the year, Miss Mary J. Capron by death, and Mrs. J. M. Fisher by resignation. At a joint meeting of the Select- men and Trustees held December 10th, these vacancies were filled by the election of Mrs. Abigal S. Gould and Mrs. Caroline S. Holden.
The efficient and faithful librarian, Mrs. N. A. Black- inton, remains in charge of the Library.
The sum, $600, appropriated by the town has been expended as follows :
New books,
$234 80
Rent,
150 00

The offices of Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the Public Library involve no small amount offlabor, and for the efficient manner in which these duties have been performed, ( without remuneration ) since the organization of the board, by C. S. Holden, M. D., the Trustees desire to thus publicly express their thanks.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
67
ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The appended list of contagious diseases reported to the Board of Health during the past year shows the principal and most important work the Board has been called upon to do. Like many towns in the State, Attleboro was visited by that dreadful scourge Diphtheria, and but for prompt action of the School committee acting in consulta- tion with the Board of Health, the disease might easily have become epidemic. The first case reported was October IIth ; from that time until the second of Novem- ber five cases among children who attended school in the old Academy building on Sanford street, were recorded. The school was discontinued November second, and the building was examined for a possible source of the con- tagion. It is not believed that the cases originated there, The building itself situated upon a high gravelly elevation, has been in its present location about three years ; no water pipes enter it and no sewer pipes lead from it; the cellar is large, light and dry. Two sinks connected with a cask buried in the ground are in the building and it was suggested that these be trapped and the receptacle venti- lated although no dirty water or filth of any kind is ever poured down the sinks, and there was no more odor about them than there was the day they were put in. It is prob- able, as so often happens, that the cases arose from one of so mild a type that it was not recognized, and perhaps never treated by a physician. The school building was closed for two weeks, the rooms thoroughly disinfected and the books and other articles belonging to the sick children were destroyed. This action put a stop to further spread of the disease among children attending that school, but
·
68
ANNUAL REPORT.
isolated cases from various parts of the town were con- tinually reported. These cases were carefully looked after but in nearly every instance it was impossible to decide upon the source of the contagion ; fortunately, however, by isolation and disinfection they were prevented from directly producing other cases.
Attleboro is peculiarly liable to be visited by contagious disease. The soil in many parts of the town is low and wet ; the water works have been in operation now for seventeen years, and sewers have been constructed only on three streets. As a consequence the soil is becoming saturated with decaying and offensive filth. Every means to prevent this condition from becoming worse should be adopted. Sewers are expensive, but where already con- structed, a town by-law or legislation of some kind, should . compel all abutters to enter them.
The plan of securing the stream on the westerly side of the town for use as a sewer as demonstrated by Civil Engineer Luther in his recent report to the Town, is one the adoption of which by the town, the Board of Health would earnestly recommend. An intelligent use of the methods now in vogue would be conducive to better sani- tary effect. Cesspools have been constructed within the past year whose only means of ventilation are through sink drains coming directly from the house. Whenever observed, the owners have been advised to properly trap their waste pipes and to construct a ventilating shaft lead- ing from the cess-pools. Probably not more than one house in ten is furnished with scientific plumbing and in case of a severe epidemic of disease this would prove dis- astrous. Cheap plumbing is never satisfactory plumbing, and the time ought soon to come when by the regulations or by-laws the plumbing of a house must be approved by the Board of Health.
Early in the year the Board adopted a set of rules, which we believe to be the most comprehensive the town
69
ANNUAL REPORT.
has ever had. Despite the fact that they were published in one of the daily papers, many people have been found to be complacently ignorant of their existence. No trouble has been found, however in enforcing them.
During the year three cases of glanders were reported. The Cattle Commissioner, Mr. Cheever of Dedham, was notified and promptly responded. The diagnosis was so evident in all the cases that the owners readily consented to the killing of the animals. Two of the horses had been in town only a few days and had contracted the disease elsewhere ; in the other case the source of the contagion was not so evident. The stables were all thoroughly cleansed and disinfected and no new cases have sprung from them.
The above report will indicate somewhat the extent of the duties the Board of Health is called upon to perform. The members feel that the compensation allowed by the town is entirely inadequate, and would suggest the appro- priation of the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars for the ensuing year.
