Without public parks, thousands of Attleborough dollars are spent out of Town every summer by the Town's pleasure seekers, many of whom would doubtless remain in Town on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays if the town would provide a pleasure ground for them.
The Park Commissioners therefore recommend that this question which is soon to be a very important one be given due consideration as soon as it is practicable to do so.

REPORT
OF THE
Inspector of Cattle, Provisions and Milk.
As the third year of my term of Cattle Inspector draws to a close, I am pleased at the healthy condition of horned stock as well as horses and swine.
No epidemie has appeared among domestic animals and but a single case of contagious disease has developed and that was condemned and killed by order of the State Board of Cattle Commissioners.
During the early spring several hogs were diseased and (3) three died, but upon examination it was found that death was due to the swill they had been fed upon, as swill gathered from house to house often has broken lamp chimneys, glass and crockery.
Most of the work of the year occurred during the months of October and November, when the State Board of Cattle or- dered an inspection of all animals, with the stables, water supply and sanitary surroundings, the blanks for which are here appended :

ANNUAL REPORT.
Owing to the mildness of the season some difficulty was experienced in finding the cattle at home, as they would often be far away at pasture and in some cases (3) three visits to the same premises to see the cattle, the owner or person in charge.
Visits were made to 127 stables where horned stock was kept and upwards of 650 animals were physically examined and only one condemned for actrinomy cosis, and as there has no new cases developed it is thought this is the end of it.
Mr. F. A. Cummings has brought his usual number of tested milch cows, calves and bulls to the number of 242.
In inspecting the cattle and stables where milk was made for sale much attention was devoted to the care given to milk, and in all cases no fault could be found by the most fastidious as to neatness or danger of contamination.
A very few had adopted the more recent appliances for aerating the milk so as to bring it to their customers in the best possible condition.
Many samples of milk have been examined for private individuals who kept but a cow for family use.
There were thirty-five (35) milk licenses issued. The number is a little in excess of past years, and much trouble was experienced in looking up all dealers, either wholesale or retail, and we feel that nearly every one paid a license.

GEORGE MACKIE,
Inspector of Cattle.
COMMITTEE
ON
Abolition of Grade Crossings.
TO THE CITIZENS OF ATTLEBOROUGH :
The Committee on the Abolition of Grade Crossings have had complete plans preparad in accordance with the arrange- ments as reported by Mr. Charles A. Allen, C. E. at the last annual town meeting.
Copies of these plans have been submitted by Mr. Allen to the officials of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road Company with the idea that an agreement may be reached by the Railroad Company and the Town. We understand that the plan as submitted meets with the approval of the engineers of the Railroad Company in so far as the matter has been ex- amined by them.
An official reply from the Railroad Company has not been received however. At the last annual town meeting the town re- ferred to this committee the matter of locating a highway from the St. Jean Baptiste Plat (so called) to some one of the present high- ways of the town. The committee has examined the location and as it is possible to provide a convenient street from this plat to Turner street crossing the railroad by a highway bridge, and as such an arrangement may be included in the general
112
ANNUAL REPORT.
plan for abolishing grade crossings, this committee is of the opinion that it is advisable for the Town to delay action in this matter until the plan for abolishing the grade crossings in Attleborough has been definitely decided upon either by agree- ment between the Railroad Company and the Town or by orders of the court.
During the present year the plan on which the grade crossings of Attleborough are to be abolished should be definitely determined and the work of construction actually begun. We. therefore. recommend that at the Annual Town Meeting authority be given either this committee or the Select- men to petition the court to have a commission appointed to determine upon the plan for abolishing these crossings,
Respectfully submitted, CHAS. E. BLISS, Chairman. WM. J. LUTHER, Sec'y.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
TO THE CITIZENS OF ATTLEBOROUGH :
The board of water commissioners herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1899.
As in former years the reports of the Superintendent of Water Works and Water Registrar, the pumping statistics and copies of the analysis or samples from the well accompany this report.
The installing of a new pump authorized by the town has been one of the important features of the year. Bids were asked for and the following firms responded. We considered only the vertical type.

Geo. F. Blake Co.,
After careful consideration we decided in favor of Barr Pumping Engine Co., who were the lowest bidders. The pump has been installed and is now being run. Several preliminary tests have been made, and we find that it runs very smoothly
1 23
ANNUAL REPORT.
and the official test will probably be made very soon.
The foundation was put in by H. A. Hanscom & Co., Boston, Mass. Cost $1,673.32.
This year the department has laid its own service pipe, and also some of the extensions and finds it very satisfactory.
Owing to the increase of revenue during the last year, we deem it advisable to cut the appropriation down one thousand one hundred dollars ($1,100) from last year, and recommend six thousand dollars ($6,000) ; five thousand dollars ($5,000) for the sinking fund and one thousand dollars ($1,000) for maintenance together with the receipts.
Owing to the present price of iron we do not recommend the replacing of any cement pipe this coming year.
We believe that owing to the rapid growth of the town and the increase in revenue, that in a very few years the Water Department will be self supporting, and is practically so now outside of the sinking fund, when we take into con- sideration the amount of water used in school houses, fire department houses, hydrant service and street sprinkling.
For the coming year we estimate the receipts and expenses as follows :

On Park. Mechanic, Hodges, Pine and Dunham Streets cement pipes were replaced by the iron pipe.
There have been eighty-five services laid during the year. making the largest number laid during any one year. and most of them have been laid by the department. There have been eleven leaks. three on services and eight on the mains, seven of which were on iron pipe and one on cement pipe. Six of those on the iron pipe were from leaky joints and one at South Attleborough was a split pipe.
There have been a number of complaints of rusty water. but from experiments made I think the most of the trouble is from galvanized iron pipe in the houses and from galvanized hot water boilers. The department has laid cement lined pipe for services, and I would advise owners of houses to lay the
127
ANNUAL REPORT.
same to the houses and where the pipe is laid under the cellar bottom, so as to have as little galvanized pipe as possible.
The average daily consumption of water during 1899 was 364,638 gallons.
The average daily consumption for the week ending Thursday, June 8, 1899, was 495,085 gallons, the total amount pumped during the week being 3,465,600 gallons. On Thursday, July 6th, 584,680 gallons were pumped, being the greatest amount pumped on any day during the year.
Appended will be found tables showing a condensed statement of the pumping records for the year, and copies of the analysis made from samples of the water from the well.
