To the citizens of Attleborough :
In compliance with the statutes of the Common- wealth, the Board of Health respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1903.
Seventy cases of infectious diseases were reported during the year, twenty-one of which were scarlet fever. Most of these were of a mild type, there being but one death. In this case the type was of a most severe charac- ter.
In the month of February a case of smallpox was re- ported on Pleasant street. The patient was removed immediately to the house for infectious diseases and the members of the family vaccinated. Of the individuals who had come in contact with the patient, all were vac- cinated, except one. This was a woman, who positively refused to be vaccinated. While it was in the power of the Board to compel her to follow the law, it was thought best to keep her from going to the shop for two weeks.
There were twelve cases of typhoid fever reported, of which four died. The cause was determined in four of
135
ANNUAL REPORT.
these cases, being due to the family using water from old wells, the water of which, on examination by the State Board of Health, was found to be polluted.
Diphtheria was reported five times, with no deaths. Some of these cases were very severe, and undoubtedly their recovery was due to the use of antitoxin. As this is furnished free by the State Board of Health, the local Board desires to emphasize its appreciation of the purity of this material and of the fact that it is fur- nished free to every one suffering from the disease, and to deprecate any attempt to take the manufacture of antitoxin out of the hands of the State Board.
We also respectfully call the attention of the town's representatives in the General Court to the fact that the State Board should manufacture the vaccine material for the use of the State. It this is done, the price of the material will be lower than it now is and its manufac- ture will not fall into the hands of a trust that will in- crease its price.
Reference to the table on page 139 will show that no part of the town was free from infectious diseases. In this table the town has been arbitrarily divided, taking the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad as a line of division. According to this table, there were eight more cases west of the railroad than on the east side.
Most of the cases of typhoid fever occurred in habitations which were connected with cesspools, empha- sizing the great need of a complete sewerage system.
136
ANNUAL REPORT.
The Board has taken pains to refer to this subject for the past five years. Something must be done, and done soon, about the matter, or the town will be afflicted with an epidemic of some kind. Butler, Penn., is an example that should warn our people.
During the year there were 174 deaths. Of these, IOI came under the head of local diseases, that is, were due to disease of some organ of the body, and for which there is no known prevention. Cancer of the various organs claimed 14 cases, while there were 18 cases of consumption. At the same time there were 20 cases of pneumonia. Whether any or none of these cases could have been prevented is a question.
At the same time the best informed medical author- ities claim that these diseases are often contracted from dried sputum being inhaled, which has been expectorated by individuals suffering from those diseases. It would be a wise precaution if the town would make a by-law prohibiting expectoration on the sidewalks and in pub- lic places. This is not the first time this Board has called the town's attention to the matter.
There were 23 more deaths this year than last, and 54 more than for the year before. The increase is in all probability due to our increase in population.
In the earlier part of the year a petition was received from South Attleborough concerning an alleged nuisance due to a swamp in front of the habitations on Washing- ton street. The Board visited the place several times, but could not convince itself that it was justified in
137
ANNUAL REPORT.
interfering at the present time.
Another petition was received from the same locality in reference to the carting of sewage from Rhode Island into the State. As the carts carrying the sewage had to pass but two houses in the town limits, the Secretary of the Board instructed the carriers to convey the sewage in air tight carts and bury the material as soon as emptied from the carts.
Several barns where cattle are kept have been in- spected during the year, most of which were found to be kept in a cleanly condition. One or two, however, were found in a very filthy state, and the owners were advised that if their barns were not kept clean they would be prevented from selling milk. This has had a good effect, but during the coming year these inspection will be kept up, and the law in reference to this matter will be enforced. One who is not willing to keep his cattle well and clean has no right to endanger the health of his patrons.
One complaint was received concerning a piggery at Thurber's Crossing. The owner was told to clean up the place and make it more wholesome. It would be a wise move if the town would give the Board more authority in this matter.
The plumbing department has had no friction of any nature this year.
Following are given the statistics for the year.

Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
To the citizens of Attleborough :
At the first regular meeting of the Board of Select- men held in March, Wm. H. Goff resigned his position as Superintendent of Streets. In order that the spring cleaning and other work should not be delayed, I very reluctantly consented to act in that capacity until such a time as some suitable person might be secured. I have continued to act up to the present time without compensation therefor, with the exception of one month when H. R. Smart of Lincoln, R. I., served.
I at once appointed the Division Superintendents and work was commenced.
South Division.
H. A. Smith was appointed for the South Division, and he has performed his work in an intelligent manner and to the perfect satisfaction of the citizens of the town.
The largest job done by Mr. Smith was the building of Thacher street. This street has been almost impass- able for a long time, and while quite a number of good
144
ANNUAL REPORT.
houses were being built and occupied the street remained the same, extremely poor. I decided to improve it and Mr. Smith was authorized to go ahead. He expended $636.79 on this street, doing as much work as could be done for a thousand dollars in other sections of our town where road material is scarce. The money was well invested, and a good street built clear through to County street, a distance of nearly 3,000 feet.
Other work in this division may be summarized as follows :
Thurber avenue gravelled, 1,500 feet.
Taunton avenue gravelled, 2,000 feet.
Tiffany street gravelled, 1,000 feet.
South Main street gravelled, 2,000 feet.
Reed street and County street have been repaired, the board fence in Hebronville has been rebuilt, the catch basins have been cleaned and the general repairs made. With the incidental expenses, there was expended $1,812.21 for all the work in this district.
East Division.
This is a new division made by dividing the North Division in two. The new district has about nine miles of street and, as some of it must be a long distance from the centre, a waste of time must necessarily occur in travelling. O. S. Thayer of Steere street was appointed to look after the new east district. Some of the streets in the district were in a very poor condition. Steere street, in the low land between W. O. Armstrong's resi-
145
ANNUAL REPORT.
dence and Park street, was one of the poorest, and a horse could hardly get along there in the spring of the year. We hope it has been remedied as Mr. Thayer scraped the centre of the road, placed field stone to the depth of over a foot, and threw good material over them. It seems that the section so repaired must be of a lasting character.
Other streets repaired were on Bishop street and Pike avenue. This avenue runs through good building land, is handy to both steam and electric cars, and I believe if a good street was made in this location that many would build thereon.
The sum of $636.08 was expended in this district.
Mr. Thayer seems to have a good general idea of road building, being a man who uses the roads a great deal with his teams. I believe that, for the amount ex- pended, he has given good returns.
West Division.
The West Division was placed in charge of Robert W. Sharkey, who has done the general repairs to the roads in the district, trimmed the brush along side the road, and in addition, has graded and gravelled Deanville street 975 feet, gravelled North avenue 530 feet, West street 732 feet and Clifton street 300 feet.
He has moved nearly 1,200 loads of poor material and put 495 loads of gravel on the streets in his district. This was Mr. Sharkey's first year as Superintendent, but he displayed a willingness to do his duty to the best of
146
ANNUAL REPORT.
his ability and has some good work to show as the result. He expended the sum of $854.18 in the district.
Southwest Division.
The Southwest Division was again placed in charge of Geo. W. Allen, who continues to do good work and to satisfy the majority of the tax payers in that section of the town.
The following work was done in the district during the year, some of which is of a permanent nature and. reflects credit upon the Division Superintendent :
3,000 feet of good gravel street was made on the- Newport road from the drinking fountain to the residence- of Geo. F. Knowles. This street was rolled with our steam roller and has been pronounced by expert road builders to be a first class job.
Highland avenue was graded and gravelled for a distance of 1,000 feet.
On West and Read streets at Orr's corner the grade. was changed. One hundred and twenty-five yards of" gravel was used on the streets and 83 yards of cinders. placed on sidewalks.
On Cumberland avenue the road was gravelled, a. sidewalk made and a guard rail put up.
May street was graded and gravelled, sidewalks were · built and trees removed.
Robinson avenue was gravelled for a distance of" 2,500 feet.
At St. Jean Village, the gutters were scraped andi sidewalks were gravelled and repaired.
147
ANNUAL REPORT.
The brush all over this district was cut and burnt. The total number of loads of gravel moved was 2,495, ·of cinders moved was 112.
The total expenditures in this district were $2,345.60.
Sidewalks and Street Cleaning.
Charles O. Claflin has had charge of the street ·cleaning and sidewalk work in general throughout the district. A portion of the time he had two assistants and the amount of work accomplished has been very satisfactory. Early in the season the gutters were given thorough cleaning and it was decided to keep them cleaner, if possible, than ever before. Mr. Claflin has built sidewalks on the following named streets :
Park avenue, 1,150 feet
Hope street, 1,045 feet
Gustin avenue, 1,470 feet
Union street, 962 feet
Dunham street,
915 feet
Morey street,

Parker street,

Maple street,
582 feet
Orange street,

County street, 450 feet
Sixth street, 495 feet
Prospect street, 240 feet
Jefferson street, 200 feet
First street, 240 feet

Mechanic street, 70 feet
Hodges street, 600 feet
Pleasant street, 500 feet
Bank street, 922 feet
West street, 796 feet

Pine street, 1,017 feet
Grove street, 270 feet
Dean street, 405 feet
Brook street, 500 feet
North Main street,
300 feet
Leroy street, 400 feet
Making a total of 16,744 feet of sidewalk built during the season.
He has also moved 176 loads of stone to the crusher, 90 loads for patching streets, 1,670 loads of dirt, 560 loads of ashes for sidewalks, 249 loads of ashes dumped in yard and 215 loads of sand, paving stone and other miscel- laneous material, making a total of 2,960 loads handled ..
Timothy McCarthy has been kept at work in the immediate vicinity of Park street, and the result has. been highly satisfactory. The streets and crosswalks that are in constant use get littered up the quickest, and by having a man with cart constantly on the street good results must be obtained. The people generally were pleased with the way Park street and adjoining streets. were kept this season and both Mr. Claflin and Mr ..
149
ANNUAL REPORT.
McCarthy did their work faithfully and well. The amount expended in this department was $1,530.54.
There has also been 3,911 feet of curbing set during the season, divided as follows :
Park street, 1,016 feet
Union street, 365 feet
Gustin avenue, 747 feet
Hope street, 932 feet
Dunham street, 621 feet
Grove street, 56 feet
Dunham street and Park avenue, 174 feet
J. M. Fisher paid one-half the cost of this last item.
The gutters have all been paved and good sidewalks built wherever curbing has been set.
North Division.
The North (or central) Division was placed in charge of Herbert A. Caswell, who, in addition to being a good road builder, is a third-class engineer, thereby en- abling him to run the stone crushing plant and the steam road roller, consequently saving considerable expense to the town by his ability in these directions.
I decided from what knowledge I could obtain from observation, and from all other sources, to use as much crushed stone as possible, and as little worn out material for road building, as there has been no law made or method discovered to prevent worn out dirt, when mixed with water, from becoming mud, and mud is what we are trying to avoid. With so many of our citizens, many
150
ANNUAL REPORT.
of whom pay large taxes, interested in good roads, it is only right that we should endeavor to give them the best. Owners of horses and carriages, or carriages pro- pelled by either steam, electricity or any other motive power used for pleasure or business, fully realize what good streets are and enjoy riding over them. I think the streets in Attleborough are equal, if not superior, to many found in the adjoining cities and towns.
The following streets have been macadamized during the year :
Dunham street, 1,200 feet
Emory street, 480 feet
North Main street, 900 feet
Union street, 900 feet Capron street, 385 feet
Gustin avenue, 580 feet
Park avenue, 650 feet
Park street from Pine street, 300 feet
This makes a total of 5,395 feet in length, besides which 225 feet on Park street has been redressed.
The following streets have been gravelled :
South Main street,
1,000 feet
Third street,
950 feet
Fourth street,
300 feet
Prospect street, 350 feet
Jefferson street, 300 feet
Dennis street, 500 feet
First street, 550 feet
Hodges street, 600 feet
151
ANNUAL REPORT.
Parker street, 400 feet
Sturdy street, 100 feet
Lindsey street, 700 feet
Brook street, 1,040 feet
Thus a total of 6,790 feet of street has been dressed with good gravel.
Summer Street.
For this street in 1902 an appropriation of $100 was made, but no work was done. This year the street has been graded and gravelled for the length of 950 feet, for which over 800 loads of stone and gravel, taken from S. J. Whitney's bank were used, besides the many loads moved from one part of the street to another part of the same street. Sidewalks were built on both sides, mak- ing 1,900 feet of good sidewalk.
Horton Street.
There was a special appropriation of $1,000 made at the March meeting, 1903, to build Horton street. After getting estimates from different contractors to do the work, I decided to do the work with our own men. The street was carefully surveyed and over 500 loads of poor material was removed and sold and 1,081 loads of gravel was used in the construction, making a first class. street, and one we believe will stand for a great many- years,

At the last annual meeting the sum of $2,500 was appropriated for this street. The street was laid out by the Selectmen and no land damage was claimed by any party.
Realizing that the sum of $2,500 would not build the street, the promoters of the plan, through E. A. Sweeney and C. H. Tappan, acting for themselves and others, agreed to build the street according to plans and specifications made by H. F: Conant, C. E., providing the Selectmen would allow the appropriation to be paid to them.
This was agreed upon and the street is nearly com- pleted and no doubt would have been wholly had it not been for the early and severe cold weather.
The new street begins at Park street and runs in a southerly direction to Maple street and will cost when completed about $6,000.
In addition to street work already described, the Highway Department teams have carted from the banks nearly 700 loads of stone to the crusher. The stone has been crushed and piled in separate piles ready for spring work. Had it not been for the early and continued snow we should have had a much larger quantity crushed.
We have also piled up a large quantity of ashes, got from the several factories in town. These will make first- class sidewalks as soon as spring opens.

A drain with catch basin was put in on Orange street which I trust will relieve that locality of much surface water.
Bridges and Culverts.
The bridges at Holden street and at Bank street ex- tension have been replanked during the season with three- inch chestnut plank laid diagonally and not too close together, so as to allow the water to run through and the air to circulate.
Several culverts have been relaid. Many of them were nearly filled up and were of but little use. Now they are serving their purposes and the streets and side- walks in their vicinity are dry.
The bridge at Mechanics street needs to be replanked this coming year.
Guard rails have been put up where deemed neces- sary in order to safeguard the town against accident, and I am pleased and gratified that no one has been injured either in person or property to any extent during the year by any fault of the town.
The before-described works are the principal or largest jobs done during the year. On many of the other streets some work has been done and many minor improvements have been made. The Water Department have endeavored to leave all the streets that they had occasion to dig up in as good condition as possible. I think they realize wholly that their department belongs to the town, and

that what is good for the department is good for the town, and I am gratified to report that there has been no friction whatever between the Street Department and any other department of the town during the year.
And I take this opportunity to thank all the division superintendents for the courtesy shown me and the help they have given me.
Respectfully submitted, GEO. A. SWEENEY,
Acting Superintendent of Streets.
