ANNUAL REPORT
Town must do its share in eradicating this dreadful disease by providing a hospital of its own. It is one of the most important problems of the day for health officials. During the latter months of the year, a rather large number of cases of scarlet fever were reported, but fortunately they were of a mild type. Two severe cases of ophthalmia neonatorum oc- curred, and by prompt action in sending the patients to the Massachusetts Eve and Ear Infirmary. the sight of the children was preserved. This Board cannot urge too strongly the prompt notification of the existence of this disease on the part of physi- cians and nurses, and the use by physicians of the prophylactic furnished by the State Board of Health, or some other suitable remedy, in all cases of midwifery. This Board disinfects the premises by using formaldehyde gas after every case of con- tagious disease, but its value in destroying conta- gion is secondary to the proper care of the patient during the illness, and thorough scrubbing and boil- ing after its termination. The problem of securing a pure milk supply is always with us, and this Board would welcome wise State legislation to secure this result. Two members of the Board are members of the Massachusetts Association of Boards of Health, and the suggestions obtained by attending the meet- ings of the Society are of value in the proper ad- ministration of the office.
The reports of the appointive officers are sub- mitted with this, and the usual statistical tables are appended.

During the current year 704 carcasses were killed and dressed. Two hundred and thirteen (213) beeves, two hundred and twenty-five (225) calves, and two hundred and sixty-six (266) hogs were inspected, stamped and passed. On post- mortem examination fourteen (14) carcasses were condemned.
Six (6) beeves for general tuberculosis.
One (1) beef for suppurated mastitis and py- emia.
Two (2) hogs for general tuberculosis; one hog for ictencs (jaundice).
One (1) hog for emaciation and anemia and one (1) hog for uticaria.
Four (4) calves for immaturity.
Four (4) beeves and two (2) hogs' livers were condemned for cirrhosis of the liver, and one (1) hog's head for endurated parotid gland.

REPORT OF THE MEAT INSPECTOR TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Attleboro, Mass., Dec. 31, 1913.
Acting as agent for the Department of Animal Industry, in the Town of Attleborough, Massachu- setts, I examined 19 Milch cows during the year, that were quarantined under suspicion of having contagious diseases.
On Physical examination, 17 of these cows showed symptoms of the contagious disease known as tuber- culosis.
I killed, and on post-mortem, all of these 17 cows proved to be affected with tuberculosis.
Fifteen (15) of these diseased carcasses were disposed of by burial; the other two (2) were ren- dered by Messrs. N. Roy & Son of South Attleboro, Mass.
Two cows were released from quarantine, as they proved to be free from contagious diseases.
In each case the owners received compensation from the State Department of Animal Industry.
The cow barns where these diseased cattle were stabled were all cleaned, disinfected and white- washed.
Respectfully,
HUGH GAW, D. V. S.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR TO THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
Attleboro, Mass .. Dec. 31, 1913.
To the Honorable Board of Health. Gentlemen :-
I herewith submit my annual report as Milk In- spector for the year ending December 31, 1913.
Number of milk licenses sold, 132, which is one more than last year.
I think there has been very little complaint in regard to quality and cleanliness, considering there are 132 in the business. There always will be some that will go wrong, anyway.
The stables have been well looked after by the local Board of Health, and the Department of Ani- mal Industry, State House. Boston.
I have spent considerable time during the year to see that their orders were carried ou '.

Report of Inspector of Wires
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my report as Inspector of Wires for the year beginning January 1. 1913 and ending December 31. 1913. I wish to state the work of local contractors has been generally satisfactory.
The Providence Telephone Co., at the present time have 612 miles of underground ducks and 122.213 miles of underground wire, having very few overhead wires.
"The Attleboro Steam and Electric Co., " dur- ing the present year have connected between two and three hundred new services. They have install- ed 252 meters.
I wish to state that the outside construction of the Attleboro Steam & Electric and Providence Telephone Co., is as good as any town of their size in the state.
I would again suggest that all persons doing electric wiring in the town of Attleboro should be required to have a license.
Respectfully submitted. B. C. WETHERELL.

OF THE
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
TOWN OF ATTLEBOROUGH MASSACHUSETTS
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1913
Report of the Overseers of the Poor
To the Citizens of Attleboro:
The organization of the Overseers for 1913 re- mained the same as last year: J. V. Curran, Chair- man, Benj. P. King, Clerk, Geo. M. Gustin, Visitor.
No great changes have taken place during the year. Everything connected with the Department has moved along in regular order. The number of those aided increase somewhat from year to year as must be expected in a town as large as Attleboro. Business has been quiet, many are out of work and some are obliged to ask for aid. The work in the office is constantly increasing and demands more time because of the detail demanded.
The first of September, 1913, the Mothers' De- pendent Law, or what is known as law 763 became effective. Much time was consumed in arranging de- tail, and the requirements of the State Board. It is now in full operation. It has put upon the Overseers an unusual amount of work which requires time, and some provision needs to be made to meet it. Quarterly visits are to be made on all who receive aid under the new law and reports rendered to the State Board. We have about a dozen cases under that law and they are scattered about town so that it consumes much time in traveling about. These cases call for quite a lot of money as the State Board requires that adequate relief be given to properly care for the Home and Children. This also natur- ally affects the other cases and naturally calls for increased aid along that line.
We all know that there is a great advance on all
291
ANNUAL REPORT
food stuffs, fuel, etc., and more aid must be given.
The average number of inmates at the Town Farm has been 14.71, largest number at one time 31, smallest 13, number January 1, 1914, 14: 8 males, 6 females. Two have died during the year.
No attempt has been made to raise anything for the market. The hay crop was good and together with fodder raised will probably carry us through. Some of our farming tools will have to be replaced having been in use a long time.
Owing to the demands of the new law, and the advance in price of things to live on, we find our ap- propriation was too small and we find an overdraft of quite large proportion.
We have credits from town and cities of $337.75 and from the State, approximately, of $500.
We are obliged to ask for more money than ever before, the best that we can do, is to ask for $10,000, and $500. medical.
If the Docters, as is reported, are to demand this year full amount of bills, this will call for quite an advance along this line, as the total bills this year were $2,100.00.
A move is on foot to create a County Poor Farm. It seems as if it would be wise for Attleboro to keep out of the combine, if expenses are to be kept down.
Some arrangement must be made whereby the overseers receive a sufficient compensation to more properly attend to the detail of the department. The town is asking too much for the salaries paid.
