ANNUAL REPORT
CHARITY DEPARTMENT
To His Honor, the Mayor, and Municipal Council:
Another year has come and gone, and the Board of Overseers are ex- pected to report a statement of their stewardship for the year 1921. At the beginning of the year the organization of the Board was effected by clecting Mr. J. V. Curran, Chairman: Mrs. E. Grace King, Clerk, and Dr. W. L. Elliott, Visitor.
In consequence of the growth of our city in population, the work of the Overseers has also materially increased, and because of business de- pression the past year, the calls for aid have been unusual. We have always listened to all calls for aid, and when necessity demanded have aided, using our best judgment as to the needs, endeavoring to be cautious in the expending of the city's money. During the year we have aided 123 families or 528 individuals. We have also taken care of 15 individuals either in their own homes or boarding with someone. We are also board- ing five children in homes outside of the City Home. We have three at the infirmary in Tewksbury.
At the beginning of the year our Mothers' Aid cases numbered sixteen. Three cases have been closed and five added during the year, making the total to-day eighteen. Of our Temporary Aid cash cases, we had at the first of the year six, and three have been added making a total of nine. We have one Mothers' Aid case living in Medway, whose settlement is in Attleboro.
Onr appropriation for the year 1921 was $26,576.00, divided as follows:
Salary and wages
$3.076 00
City Farm
6,000 00
Mothers Aid
10,000 00
Temporary Aid
2,500 00
Outside Relief 5,000 00
$26.576 00
About the middle of the year it became evident that the amonnt ap- propriated for Outside Relief was far too inadequate. The Board there- fore presented the facts and we were granted an additional appropriation of $6,000, making the total appropriation $11.000 for Outside Relief. In . November we found that our appropriation for Mothers' Aid and Tem- porary Aid cash was also too small and another appropriation of $1,700 for Mothers' Aid and $200 for Temporary Aid Cash was given, making the entire appropriation $34.467.00.
We are fortunate in securing our efficient Superintendent and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Hagar, for our City Home, whose services we most deeply ap- preciate and realize that through their efforts and that of Mrs. Hoyle, the people in the Home are receiving the best of care and everything is being done for their welfare and comfort. No special expenditure of money for repairs at the Home has been made this year, but we feel that conditions

there are good and there seems no special need just at the present time. We have in the Home sixteen people and one boarder. At the beginning of 1921 we had eleven. eight men and three women. There has been two deaths the past year.

CITY PHYSICIAN
ATTLEBORO, MASS, Dec. 5. 1921.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:
As City Physician, I herewith submit my report for the year 1921.
I have had 268 consultations at my office. also 456 house calls; making a total of 724 cases.
There have been 90 medical, 16 surgical and 5 confinement cases; also 5 police calls. Of all these, three cases have been fatal.
One patient was sent to the State Hospital at Taunton, three were sent to the State Hospital at Tewksbury, and six were sent to the Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
Twelve children have been operated on for enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
There have been three serious cases at the City Home during the year. these being bad septic infection. Great praise is due Mrs. Hoyle and Mrs. Hagar for their excellent nursing and their unfailing kindness. I made 65 visits at the City Home since Feb. 1, 1921.
This past year has been a particularly busy one because of the busi- ness depression, and the outlook for the coming year is not encouraging.
The District Nurses and Miss Howe, the Tuberculosis Nurse, have co- operated most willingly with me at all times, and I wish to commend them here for their efficiency and zeal.
I have established an emergency station at the City Home, where emergency cases can be treated.
I would recommend that the city establish an infirmary at the City Home, or better, at the Sturdy Memorial Hospital. This would be a very valuable help to the department.
Respectfully submitted,
WILFRID F. MILOT.

FIRE PREVENTION.
Fire prevention means special care on the part of everyone, by pre- venting the accumulation of waste paper, rubbish, or any other inflam- mable material in the cellar or about the premises. Hot ashes should never be thrown into a wooden receptacle. Care should be taken regard- ing stove cleaning cloths, oil dust cloths and mops. They should never be allowed in a closet where they cause a fire by spontaneous combustion.
We believe in the regular inspection of buildings by members of the Department, but as yet have been unable to do this without leaving the apparatus uncovered. The schools are inspected once a month.

To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council:
GENTLEMEN ---
The annual scouting for the Gypsy and browntail moths found condi- tions not much changed from the previous year which seems to be a gen- eral infestation.
Extensive spraying was carried on through the caterpillar season, especially along roadsides in the country.
Brush was cut and burned along the roadside and low-hanging branches were trimmed.
Attention was given mostly to dead branches in the shade trees, although a considerable amount of other trimming was done.
I removed eight trees on school property, it was also necessary to remove other trees which was the result of changing street lines.
The recent ice storm broke a great many branches from the trees, leaving ugly looking scars which will require recutting to protect the future welfare of our shade trees.
I recommend that the sum of $4,850 be appropriated and dived as follows :

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Members of the Municipal Council:
GENTLEMEN-
The Health Officer hereby submits for your consideration and approval his seventh annual report of the different divisions of the department end- ing December 15, 1921.
Endeavoring each year to institute some additional advanced work which may be of value to the city, we undertook a general examination of all food handlers in Attleboro. Although an enormous task, we met with the very hearty co-operation from all and consider this a beneficial work in behalf of the public health.
The Venereal Clinic, which was opened September, 1918, is showing an ever increasing amount of work, the interest shown and the average at- tendance are quite gratifying to the Health Officer.
Our Laboratory work has gone along this year in a very business- like manner-the routine being so well established as to need very little oiling. The supplies have been well kept up and our instruments kept in good condition.
Our inspection of Bakeries and Ice Cream Plants has been carried out in a thorough manner, and with one exception, we have met with the heartiest co-operation.
I feel free to say that there is in the Commonwealth no city with a cleaner milk supply than ours, and this is due to our incessant inspection and examinations.
This is the seventh year of the local Tuberculosis Dispensary. The detailed account of its activities is included in this report. The amount of work done weekly at this clinic averages anywhere from 20 to 30 pa- tients and has now reached the stage where a salaried man should have charge of the work. This work is not a part of the duties of the Health Officer, nor is the work of the Veneral Clinic, but has been carried out by the Health Officer in an effort to get results from the two clinics.
The usual number of nuisances has been lessened a great deal in the past year, and the garbage work has been better taken care of than ever before.
I am very grateful to the physicians for their co-operation and prompt- ness in reporting the contagious diseases.
I also wish to express my appreciation for the greatly increased amount of work done for the tuberculosis patients in the city.
