During March it was duly advertised that sealed proposals would be received by the Committee for fur- nishing. F. O. B., cars in Attleborough, 650 sets of man- hole fittings. Six proposals were received.


The highest price bid per set was $7.00; the lowest price was $5.60. The Sessions Foundry Co. was the lowest bidder, and to this company was awarded the contract.


Specifications were also prepared and duly adver- tised that the Committee would receive sealed proposals for furnishing, F. O. B., cars in town, 109,050 feet-20.65 miles-of vitrified pipe. in sizes from five inches to twelve inches, also 7.930 special pieces, consisting if Y branches, bends and plugs. Five bids were received. ranging from $16.013.75 to $18.553.17.

ANNUAL REPORT


The Attleboro Coal Co., being the lowest bidder, was awarded the contract. The five-inch pipe for under- drains is in two-foot lengths, the larger sizes are in three- foot lengths. It required 107 cars to deliver this pipe.


On March 19, the following amount of work was ad- vertised to be let :


Laying 115,590 feet-about 21.9 miles-of sewers ranging in sizes from 6 to 16 inches ; 4,000 feet of five-inch underdrain ; building 624 manholes ; excavating 600 cubic yards of rock, and laying 700 cubic yards of gravel foun- dations.


This amount of sewer extension covered the terri- tory originally proposed by the committee to be sewered, but additions in certain streets have somewhat increased the amount.


On April 2nd, sealed proposals were received from five contracting firms for doing this work. The bids were as follows: $83,577.50, $88,125.90, $119,630.20, $122,267.10, $138,421.70.


To the lowest bidder, C. E. Trumbull Co., was awarded the contract.


These contractors commenced their work within the time specified and prosecuted the same with all possible dispatch practically up to the end of the year.


They endeavored to procure sufficient men to finish their contract, but it was impossible to secure them- laborers have been very scarce during the past season. The contractors have laid 100.995 feet-19.13 miles-of the various sizes of sewers and 19.580 feet-3.71 miles- of five-inch underdrains.


Sewer construction by one of the gangs of men was considerably retarded in consequence of the large quantity of rock encountered in County street and Jewell avenue. On the former street the close proximity of a large water main, which lay on the ledge to be blasted. gave additional reason for proceeding slowly and cau- tiously.

ANNUAL REPORT


It was found necessary to substitute iron for vitrified pipe in the lower end of Pine street and in Eden place and Brownell street, from South Main to Parker street, also for a few hundred feet in crossing private property between Olive and Lamb streets. In Brownell street and the lower end of Pine street considerable piling had to be driven in order to afford proper support for the pipe.


Many pipes have been unexpectedly encountered in excavating our trenches. On all streets we endeavored to ascertain the location of the existing pipe-lines before lo- cating the sewer line. Owing to meager data on file it was generally impossible to determine definitely the loca- tion of these pipes. They were not parallel with the street lines and frequently on the same street a pipe would several times wander in and out of the trench. This necessitated considerable bracing lumber being left in the trench in order to support the said pipe and to protect our own work.


Following are the principal amounts of work done up to date in the construction of the sewerage system. At the filtration field 84,872 cubic yards of earth were ex- cavated. The underdrainage system, consisting of from three-inch to twelve-inch pipe, amounts to 23,430 feet ; and in the distribution system, of from six-inch to twenty- four-inch pipe there are 11,190 feet-a total of 34.620 feet, or 6.557 miles. On the sewer system, from the filtra- tion field up through the town, the following amounts of the different sizes of pipes have been laid :


3,719 lineal feet of 6-inch 80,377 lineal feet of 8-inch


12,560 lineal feet of 10-inch 8,636 lineal feet of 12-inch


1,610 lineal feet of 16-inch 1,529 lineal feet of 18-inch 13,033 lineal feet of 20-inch 4,910 lineal feet of 24-inch 17,624 lineal feet of 30-inch


245


ANNUAL REPORT


A total of 143,998 feet, or 27.272 miles. In addition to this there have been laid 19,580 feet, or 3.708 miles, of five-inch underdrains.


On the whole system, 789 manholes have been built -this number includes the 37 located on the field. The rock excavation amounts to 1,568.2 cubic yards. There have been left in place 22,382 board feet of sheeting lum- ber and 41,389 board feet of foundation lumber.


According to the financial report


of the Sewer Committee, the entire expenditure up to Jan- uary I, 1913, is. $417,165.14


This includes taxes, clerical work, printing and sale of bonds, legal services, serving notices, etc. $870.77


Committee expenses, 1908-19II, total 46.90

It was stated in my original report that the estimate of $452,765.59 did not include possible rock excavation or land damage. The above cost of construction, as per the financial report of the Sewer Committee, includes the cost of excavating the following amount of rock (see monthly estimates) :


On Sections I and 2, 319 cubic yards, at $4.00. $1,276.00

This showing must certainly be as gratifying to you and your committee as it surely is to the Engineer, who has at all times endeavored to discharge faithfully every duty which his interest in the success of the sewerage system naturally suggested, and who thoroughly be- lieves that he has in every particular lived up to the terms of his agreement with the Town of Attleborough, in spirit and in truth.

Report of the Sealer of Weights and Measures


For the Year Ending Dec. 31st, 1912.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :- In accordance with custom I herewith submit my report and financial account for the year 1912. The receipts of this office have been a small amount, less than last year, on account of the small number of dry measures sealed, but has been nearly offset by the in- crease in other items.


I have had very few milk jars to seal this year, as all bottles purchased now (or nearly all) bear the state seal.


I have examined bottles in the various milk wagons and have failed to find a single bottle this year that bore the State seal but what was up to the required standard.


During the early summer I received a notice from the office of the State Commissioner, that, in his opinion, liquid measures, except those made of glass, having indications for more than one capacity should not be sealed. as it is impossible to accurately use or test such sub-divisions, and on inquiry I find that in a good many cities and towns in the State the sealer has refused to seal such measures during the last year, although they had sealed the same measures the year before.


I think this is a step in the right direction, and should I be continued in this office shall refuse to seal such measures during 1913 unless your board sees fit to order otherwise.


Another thing which I believe should be eliminated is the box scale, so-called. and which is being done away with entirely in some cities and towns. While I do not see how a sealer can refuse to seal them if they test out


249


ANNUAL REPORT


correctly, yet there are a great many of them that I am obliged to condemn each year, and they get out of order so easily that they may be correct today and incorrect tomorrow, and they are a constant source of trouble to the sealer.


After receiving your notice of August 7th, I visited Briggsville, Dodgeville, Hebronville, South Attleboro and the Plat, examined the scales, and warned such peddlers as I came in contact with.


The law which went into effect this year relative to weighing fruit, vegetables, etc., I believe to be a good law, fair to the merchant as well as to the purchaser, and gen- erally liked by all except perhaps the peddler who is obliged to carry scales upon his wagon, which, if of the cheaper varieties, together with the jar of the wagon, soon render them useless.


Some sealers are refusing to allow peddlers to carry dry measures on their wagons, but if they are not used contrary to law I do not see the harm for them to use them in lieu of baskets or boxes, and I have allowed them to retain them on the wagons.


Following are the number of scales, etc., sealed dur- ing the year, and the financial report of this office.


I have found the merchants and others with whom I have come in contact during the year willing to comply with the various laws and ready to render me all assist- ance in their power, and I wish to thank any and all who rendered such assistance.


The following scales, etc., have been sealed during the year :

Report of Pound Keeper and Field Driver


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


I herewith submit my annual report as Pound Keeper and Field Driver. During the past year I have been called upon to perform the duties of my office at least ten times, one case being before the District Court. I recom- mend that the future holder of the office receive a salary of one hundred dollars for his duties, and that the said holder be appointed a special police officer, as the office requires an officer to perform those duties.

Pound Keeper and Field Driver.


Auditors' Report


We, the undersigned, duly elected Auditors of the Town of Attleborough, respectfully report that we have examined the books and reports of the Town Treasurer, Tax Collector, Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, Trustees of the Capron Park. Water Commissioners, Water Registrar, School Committee. Overseers of the Poor, Sewer Department, Board of Health, Selectmen, Park Commissioners, Trustees of the Public Library, and Sealer of Weights and Measures, and have found them correct.


The books and reports of the several departments agree with the books of the Town Treasurer.


The Town Treasurer's books and report agree with the Selectmen's orders. and also with the amounts of funds received from the Collector of Taxes, Water Regis- trar, and from sundry other sources.


We are pleased to report a marked improvement in the questionable customs, which we called the attention of the citizens to in our last year's report.


We find the books of the several departments well kept, and their reports clear and comprehensive. We think, in some cases, the reports are too voluminous. and given too much to detail. but as this custom is in com- pliance with a vote of the citizens of the town, the criticism must fall on the citizens. and not on those having in charge the reports of the departments.

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


BOARD OF HEALTH


TOWN OF ATTLEBOROUGH MASSACHUSETTS


YEAR ENDING, DECEMBER 31, 1912


ORGANIZATION, 1912.


Board of Health. RALPH P. KENT., Chairman : CHARLES S. HOLDEN. Secretary : STEPHEN H. FOLEY.


ARTHUR B. READ. Plumbing Inspector, and Agent of the Board to Issue Permits. JOSEPH M. SEAGRAVE, Plumbing Inspector. CALEB E. PARMENTER. Inspector of Milk and Meat.


Annual Report of the Board of Health


The annual report of the Board of Health for the year 1912 is hereby submitted, together with the reports of the Inspectors of Meat. Milk and Plumbing, and the usual mortality tables.


The Board organized in March by electing Dr. R. P. Kent, Chairman ; Dr. C. S. Holden, Secretary, with Mr. Stephen H. Foley, the third member.


The usual duties pertaining to the office have been attended to as promptly and faithfully as was in the power of the members.


The most important duties devolving upon the mem- bers of a local board of health are to care for those who have contagious diseases, and to prevent its dissemina- tion. The ordinary quarantine established by this Board, although somewhat elastic, has generally proven effica- cious. It is only in rare instances that we need an isola- tion hospital, but when the need comes, it is vital, and this Board feels that the town should without delay make some provision for the care of this class of cases. Of greatest importance is the care of those ill with tubercu- losis. The long months of suffering, the anxiety and ex- hausting care accompanying it, and the hopelessness of it all, together with the danger of contagion, all make this disease the one we should most forcibly combat. The Board feels strongly that the time has come for the town to provide for these cases. A conveniently located hos- pital, pleasing in its appearance, and as homelike as pos- sible in its management, would add so much to the com- fort of those ill, and save to the community the danger of contagion, which now exists. The Board will urge at the


260


ANNUAL REPORT


March town meeting that some definite plan be adopted to supply this need.


Another factor in the promotion and preservation of good health is a pure milk supply. That impure milk is the direct cause of the death of countless of infants during the hot season is no longer a theory, but is a demonstrated fact. This Board would welcome wise laws that would insure greater care in the production of milk.


A comparison of the tables showing the number of cases of contagious diseases reported with the tables showing the number of deaths from the same cause, well illustrates the advance that has been made in scientific medicines. With fourteen cases of diphtheria reported and no deaths, the great benefit following the use of the anti-toxin must be apparent.


The financial statement appended shows the man- ner in which the amount appropriated by the town has been expended, and the sum of $3.500 for the use of this department for the coming year is recommended.


Respectfully submitted.

STEPHEN H. FOLEY, CHARLES S. HOLDEN, Board of Health.

Report of the Trustees of the Public Library


REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


To the Trustees of the Attleborough Public Library :


I herewith submit the annual report of the library for the year ending December 31, 1912.


Accessions.


The books added to the library this year have amounted to 931-700 by purchase, 78 by binding periodi- cals, 153 by gift (this includes five volumes of vital records, two government publications) ; 114 books have been replaced, 370 have been discarded. The actual num- ber of volumes now in the library is 15.551. Seven sacks of unused U. S. government documents were returned to Washington, a number of duplicate and old reports of various departments of the State were returned to Bos- ton. The number of volumes added this year has been less than for five years past. The increased cost of books is responsible for this fact.
