Report of Board of Health.
In accordance with the requirements of the Public Sta- tutes, the Board of Health hereby makes its customary annual report.
The Board organized March 29, by choosing E. S. Hor- ton, chairman, and J W. Battershall, secretary.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
There have been one hundred and seven fewer cases of infectious diseases during the year than in 1893. This no doubt has been owing to a more rigid quarantine of per- sons suffering from such, and the exclusion from school for a longer period, than has heretofore been required, of children living in houses where such diseases have existed. In view of the prevalence of diphtheria in many towns of the Commonwealth, and of the fact that it is very difficult to detect the disease in its mild form, the Board desires to emphasize the importance of absenting all children from school who are suffering with sore throats, however mild, and of notifying the family physician at once.
Teachers of our schools will do well, and do much to lessen the spread of this most fatal disease, if they will prohibit from attending school, any child suffering from sore throat. Any child having a rash upon its body should be sent home at once, and not allowed to attend school again, without a certificate from a physician stating that it is not of a contagious nature.
The great difference in the number of infectious dis- eases between this and last year is due to the prevalence
140
ANNUAL REPORT.
of measles during the year of 1893. Since the exclusion from school of children living in houses where this dis- ease has bren, for a period of two weeks, dating from the extermination of the last case in such houses, it has grad- ually died out, only two cases having been reported dur- ing the past year.
There have been but ten cases of scarlet fever during the year, three of them occurring in a family, where the parties were visiting, who had left their homes to escape the disease, it being very prevalent in their town. Last year thirty cases were reported.
There have been fourteen deaths from tuberculosis dur- ing the year, the number of cases not being reported. Nineteen cases of typhoid fever have been reported, bcing seven more than in 1893.
NUISANCES.
All cases of nuisance reported to the Board during the year, have been promptly attended to and abated. Fewer complaints than usua have been made. We believe the san- itary condition of this town would be greatly improved if each householder would in the early Spring and Fall have a general cleaning up of their back yards, and their privy vaults and cess-pools emptied and also thoroughly disin- fected. This would remove one of the most dangerous menances to the health of our people.
PLUMBING.
On the 6th of March, an act was passed and ap- proved by the Governor relative to the licensing of plumbers and the supervision of the plumbing business. This act requires the Board of Health of each town of over five thousand inhabitants, to appoint a Board of Examiners of Plumbers, one of which must be a mem- ber of Board of Health. It also requires that the Board of Health shall issue all permits to do plumbing work, to
14I
ANNUAL REPORT.
grant licenses to all persons engaged in the business who are found to be qualified to do so, and to appoint one or more persons as inspectors of plumbing. Under this act the board appointed E. S. Horton, Nahum Perry and Eben Hirst, examiners of plumbers. No inspector has been appointed owing to the fact that none of our local plumbers will accept the position. The Board is now ne- gotiating with an inspector of another town to fill this most important position. Rules regulating the plumbing business were drawn up by the Board of Examiners which were approved by the Board of Health, and they have been in force since the first of September. So far as known, these rules have given general satisfaction. The importance of the inspection of plumbing work is shown by the fact that 40 per cent of all work done in Providence the past year was condemned by the inspector as defective.
We would call the attention of the Honorable Board of selectmen to the fact that this act requires the passage of an ordinance or by-law by the town "prescribing rules and regulations for materials, construction, alteration, and in- spection of all pipes, tanks, faucets, valves and other fix- tures, by and through which waste water or sewerage is used or carried," and provides that "no such pipes, tanks, faucets, valves, or other fixtures shall be placed in any building in such town, except in accordance with plans, which shall be approved by the Board of Health of said towns.
MORTALITY.
There were 146 deaths registered during the year. this being four less than in 1893. The reason that the death rate is so close for the two years when the cases of infec- tious diseases have abated so much, is that while the dis- eases raged more extensively in 1893 than in 1894, they were mostly of a mild type, and the death rate from this
142
ANNUAL REPORT.
cause very small. This fact, however, should not in any degree lessen the care and caution enjoined in the first part of this report. There were two deaths from scarlet fever, six from diphtheria, three from typhoid fever, four- teen from pneumonia, fourteen from tuberculosis, eleven from heart disease, five from accident and one from sui- cide.
The death from all causes correspond to an annual death rate of 18 in a thousand of our population. Table 2 gives the cause of all deaths.
Respectfully submitted, E. S. HORTON, J. W. BATTERSHALL, E. E. HALE.

REPORT OF
Trustees of Public Library. 1874.
The Trustees of the Public Library in making their seventh annual report to the town are pleased to record an increased interest on the part of the public in the lib- rary. More volumes were placed in circu a ion last year than ever before. A constant and steady growth in cir- culation has been noticed each year, but that of the past year has been the greatest of all. The number of volumes taken out during the year, was 24, 112, an increase of more than 6000 volumes over the preceding year, or an average of 241 books each day that the library was open. This large number of book-takers is very gratifying to the trus- tees It indicates that Attleboro possesses a reading pub- lic to a marked degree and it also shows that the selection of books, carefully made by the trustees meets the ap- proval of the rea ing people. It speaks well for the town and it must satisfy the taxpayers, who support the Library proving that the sum annually appropriated is one of the wisest expenditures that can be made.
The change to the new rooms on Railroad avenue has been a benefit to the patrons of the library as well as to the officers. Of easy access, well lighted aud convenient, it accounts perhaps in a large measure for the greater use of the library.
During the past year 336 new books have been pur- chased for the library ; 40 of these replaced worn-out copies of books that had been in great demand, leaving 296 new
150

additions by purchase. Friends of the library have don- ated 42 volumes, 25 of this number being public docu- ments. The principal gift received was a check of $25 from Mrs. Florence Fisher Lamb; this sum at her request was used for the purchase of books to be known as the "Bi-Centennial Wm. M. Fisher Memorial" in honor of her father.
The details of the expenditure of the amount annually appropriated by the town, one thousand dollars is given below The trustees would advise the appropriation of a like sum for the ensuing year. More money could wisely be spent, and in the near future it is to be hoped that the town will appropriate a larger sum.

REPORT OF THE
INSPECTOR OF MILK, PROVISION
AND CATTLE.
To the Selectmen of Attleborough :
GENTLEMEN : I herewith present a report of the duties which I have performed as Inspector of Milk, Provisions and Cattle during the past year.
I have issued twentysix milk licenses at fifty cents each amounting to $13 which has been turned into the town treasury.
The first of every month I have inspected the milk on sale by these twenty-six dealers, making a total of three hundred and twelve tests for the year and in every case have found the milk up to the required standard.
I have thoroughly examined five hundred and sixty-three cattle and of that number have condemned twenty-four as being infected with the contagious disease known as tub erculosis and witnessed their burial.
June 20th, 1894 an act was passed compelling the se- lectmen to appoint an Inspector of Cattle and Provisions, and in pursuance of this law I received the appointment, and by the requirements of this law my duties have been greatly increased.
Every Inspector is required to keep a full record of such inspections as he may make and report the same monthly to the State Board of Cattle Commissioners.
By the provisions of the law the inspector is required to
152
ANNUAL REPORT.
be present wherever a cow or calf is slaughtered, and every butcher is required to obtain a license from the se- lectmen defining the location of his establishment and the amount of business he desires to transact before entering upon the work and for each license so issued the sum of one dollar is paid into the town treasury. Any butcher failing to obtain the above mentioned license is liable to a fine of five hundred dollars and one month imprisonment.
I am required to witness the slaughtering of cattle in all parts of the town of Attleborough and even the slaughter- ing of a cow or calf at the home of the owner requires my presence.
During the year I have attended the slaughtering of twenty-six calves, thirteen cows, four oxen and two bulls, all of which were cases which occurred between Sept. Ist and Dec. 31st and out of the above number five have been condemned as diseased with tuberculosis and buried.
The act relating to the duties of the In pector is Chap. 491, acts of 1894.
T. L. SWIFT, D. V. S.,
Inspector of Milk, Provisions and Cattle.
REPORTS OF THE
INSPECTOR OF OIL AND SEALER OF
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The Standard Oil Company has furnished nearly all the oil that has been consumed in town for the year past. They sell but one grade of oil here and that I find on in- spection to flash at 118 degrees, ignite at 1 34 degrees with a slight variation whether the oil is if taken from a full tank or from one nearly empty.
There has been the usual number of complaints in re- gard to the weights and measures used by the merchants in town. On examination I have found some of them had good cause therefor. Others seemed to be caused by the person's tendency to find fault without any knowledge to sustain them.
L. M. STANLEY,
Inspector of Oil and Sealer of Weights and Measures .
REPORT OF
COMMITTEE ON BI-CENTENNIAL
The anxious attention given by the Bi-Centennial Com- mittee to the important work confided to their care, cul- minated in the celebration of October 18 and 19 last, alike gratifying to your committee as it was worthy of the town and the occasion. For the complete and acknowl- edged success of the celebration and its freedom from every jarring note, we are indeb.ed, next under Divine Providence, to the noble generosity and warm patriotism of the townspeople, whose ready response to every de- mand and active aid in every emergency made it possible to carry out to such a happy conclusion the programme presented at the last annual town meeting. And your committee cannot but feel that whatever the sacrifi- ces made, the lessons in patriotism we then learned anew make us happier today and prepare us to enter upon the third century of our municipal existence with increased de- votion, loftier purposes, nobler aims.
During the year there have been twenty one meetings of the Committee and innumerable meetings of the twenty-one sub-committees to whose care different parts of the programme were assigned.
On these sub-committees were many ladies and gentle- men who, though not members of the general committee, were no less assiduous and indefatigable in their endeav- ors towards the common end.
It is a source of pride and pleasure to your committee to record the fact that there remains a substantial unex-
155

pended balance of the appropriation to be covered into the treasury as will appear by reference to the accompanying report of the Committee on Finance.
In view of this fact your Committee has'considered the benefits that would accrue to the town by the publication of a permanent memorial of the celebration and heartily endorse the recommendations of the Board of Selectmen in regard to this matter.
BI-CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE, PHILIP E. BRADY, Sec'y
BI-CENTENNIAL FINANCE COMMITTEE.
To the Committee for the Bi-Centennial Celebration of the Town:
Your committee of finance respectfully submit the fol- lowing report of receipts and expenditures as shown in the bills approved by the chairmen of the various sub- committees and audited by us.
