REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN LIBRARY.
The Trustees of the Town Library respectfully submit the following reports.
Last year we reported a large increase in the number of books circulated. With great satisfaction we report continued increase for the current year.
The resources of our reference department have been im- proved during the year by the purchase of the eleventh edition of the Britannica Encyclopaedia, printed on India paper; the new Webster dictionary; the Library of Literary Criticism of English and American Authors; the new revised and en- larged edition of Harper's Encyclopaedia of United States history. The circulation departmenthas been enlarged by the purchase of recent books for all sections.
The general appearance of the library has been improved by the retinting of the walls and ceiling, and the refinishing of all the wood work in the stack room. All the rooms have been rewired, and two ceiling electric lights have replaced the gas in the reading room. The card catalogue has been placed in the delivery room, a position more accessible to the patrons. A magazine case from the Library Bureau has been installed in the reading room. In this room, also, has been hung a valuable oil painting, " The Mountain of the Holy Cross." This painting was presented to the library by George P. Wal- cott, whose father, a pupil of Benjamin West, was the artist.
A closer co-operation between school and library has been attempted. Lists of books relating to periods of United States history have been furnished to the teachers of the seventh and eighth grades.
Our library has united with the Bincroft Memorial library of Hopedale in subscribing for L'Illustrazione, an
87
Italian illustrated weekly. Thus we are beginning that great vital work with the people from foreign countries.
Since November, our library has been open on Monday afternoon, in ad lition to Wednesday and Saturday, thus in- creasing the hours of opening to twenty two.
A great need of the library is the installation of new stacks, as the present shelving facilities are inadequate. New steel stacks would add to the appearance of the library and relieve the congested conditions.
At a meeting of the Trustees, January 14, 1914, it was voted to ask for the appropriation of $800.00, and the dog tax for the expenses for the ensuing year.

Chairman.

The board of health and selectmen attended at the State House a summons meeting before the Recess committee in re- gard to building a local Tuberculosis Hospital. It was sug- gested that we join with other towns in our district and each contribute its share toward the support and running ex- penses, which met the approval of the chairman of the Recess committee, Dr. Bigelow.
During the past year the town has been responsible for the expenses incurred by tuberculosis patients in state and municipal hospitals. Also six other patients cared for in oth- er towns, but whose settlement was in Milford, and often dated 15 to 20 years back, having failed to gain residence elsewhere.
This board suggests that one man be appointed to look up such settlements and place them where they rightfully be- long, and such a man could combine the work of overseers of poor as well.
The health department suggested to the finance commit- tee that we take the Silver Hill schoolhouse as an isolation hospital.
PLUMBING.
The board reports the following plumbing permits grant- ed for the year 1913, and work examined and accepted: Bath tubs 36; lavatories 34; water closets 108; sinks 99; wash trays 11.
REPORT OF MEAT AND PROVISION INSPECTOR Milford, Mass., January, 1914.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF HEALTH :-
DEAR SIRS :
I herewith present the following report of the in- spector of meats and provisions.
There have been four licensed slaughter houses with
96
eight licensed slaughterers killing beef, calves, pigs and lamb.
The following carcasses have been inspected and acted upon according to law: 303 beeves, 521 calves; 422 pigs, 8 lamb.
Owing to the state board of health taking charge of the slaughtering the laws have been so strict as to require the in- spector most all the time, he being required to be present at the time of slaughtering all animals.
I have visited meat and fish markets and fruit stores from time to time, inspected peddlers' teams and found them con- forming to the law. One slaughterer lost his license for kill- ing without the inspector being present, and had his case placed on file.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
During the past year your board has worked in perfect harmony with the present superintendent and matron as our report will show. Early in the spring, after careful consider- ation we found it advisable to make a change in the manage- ment at the farm. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Dearth, at a salary of $60 per month, commencing their duties April 15, 1913. We then found our- selves handicapped in many ways. Incubators had not been started and land had not been prepared for planting. Despite the late start, our crops have been extra good and yielded well. We have given much thought to the improvement of the farm land and have already cleared and made available for early spring planting two acres of the roughest land. We are having all the fruit trees pruned and sprayed and have ordered for spring two hundred young trees, (100 apple and 100 peach) to do away with the necessity of purchasing apples in the future. We recommend a new sanitary cement cow barn and silo, which would add greatly to our production of milk. We feel that with good facilities our income could be doubled. We further recommend the installation of electric lights and the sheathing of the men's dormitory on the third floor. The barn is in need of repairs and we would suggest that it be shingled on the sides,
It is the earnest desire of the overseers that townspeople visit the home often, see what is being done, and keep in closer touch with the management. We invite friendly criti- cism.
The new law, taking effect Sept. 1, 1913, aiding worthy mothers with dependent children, under 14 years of age, has been a heavy drain on our appropriation as no provision had been made to meet it. We recommend that $5000 be appro-
98
priated for this purpose and that $13,000 be appropriated for care of our ordinary poor.
We respectfully submit the following reports :-
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
MILFORD, MASS., JANUARY 26, 1914.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF OVERSEERS :
GENTLEMEN :- In submitting my first annual report I wish, first of all, to thank you for your successful efforts to make us comfortable in our new home, and for the support you have given us in the management of the institution. The co-opera- tion of the overseers and the superintendent is essential for the best results. This has been demonstrated the past year.
On taking charge of the farm April 15, 1913, I found it necessary to get customers for the milk route. During the season in connection with the regular work of planting, harvesting and marketing we have cut the brush from one field, clearing it ready to plow. Most of our supply of wood has come from this source.
The rocks have been dug in the field north of the barn and a stone wall is being built at the lower end of the field. This will be ready to plaut in the spring.
Pigs were purchased last spring and a fence was built in the lower orchard, also a shelter, this being an ideal place in which to grow them. I would suggest that this branch of in- dustry be enlarged.
About 600 chickens were hatched. There is need of more brooders and a brooder house that early pullets may be raised for fall laying.
If milk is to be produced at a profit, a silo is absolutely essential, that plenty of succulent feed may be on hand for the winter months. A new cow barn which could house about twenty head of cattle is needed also. Three fields have been seeded to grass for next year's hay crop.
The raising of potatoes has been tried and I am en- couraged to think that this crop will do well here, having sold
99
about $150.00 worth, and still have about 350 bushels in the cellar.
The amount of products consumed on the farm during the year is approximately as follows :-
150 bushels small potatoes (for stock)
300 bushels turnips
5 tons mangles
25 barrels cabbage
30 quarts milk per day or 10,950 quarts for year
40 pairs chickens
6 hogs
1 cow for beef
12 duck
200 bushels potatoes (table use)
Corn, peas, beans, greens, lettuce, cucumbers in season.
We had to purchase apples for home use. ,The trees here are in poor condition, but are being trimmed and sprayed and we hope to have results next year. Your move in buying young trees to set out this spring should meet the approval of everyone.
A pair of oxen could be used to good advantage in the spring as the farm is rocky. At present we are short a horse for driving purposes having only the pair, which leaves only one at home to work if one is taken, as is necessary for the milk wagon or other errands.
Some farm tools will be needed, such as a plow, cultiva- tor, harrow, horse hay rake and various smaller tools.
The auto truck has been very useful, saving much driving for horses. Long trips could be made to market, Worcester and Framingham, etc., with very little time lost from the farm.,
Most of the inmates have been very helpful and agreeable. There have been no severe cases of dicipline, and I think most of them have tried to do their part toward making the home pleasant for all concerned.
The matter of electric lighting has been discussed before. It is a much needed improvement, for in an institution of this kind with so many feeble, old people kerosene lamps are un- safe.
100
One attic is unfinished; this should be sheathed or other> wise completed as soon as possible.
In view of the fact that there are 212 acres of land here and only 15 acres available, owing to growth of brush and pastures, rocks, etc., much work must be done the coming year along the lines of land improvement heretofore mentioned, from which no immediate benefits can be derived, but which will tend to bring the farm into a state of cultivation which will be a profit to the town.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. DEARTH, Superintendent.
REPORT OF THE TOWN PHYSICIAN.
TO THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR :-
GENTLEMEN :- During the ten months from March 1st to. December 31st, 1913, I have had occasion to respond to just three hundred (300) calls from proteges of this department. Of that number, 1044, or about 33g per cent. were calls at the Town Farm.
At the farm the facilities for caring for sick inmates are limited and therefore the more serious cases are transferred to the Milford Hospital. I would suggest that a portion of the Town Home be devoted to the care of the sick poor, and at least two or three small rooms be fitted up for the care of pa . tients who should have quiet and privacy, o: isolation per- haps. A ward with sun-room adjoining would be an im - provement along humanitarian lines for the benefit of those old people who are nearly or totally bed-ridden and disabled.
The superintendent and matron have co-operated gener- ously in assisting the sick inmates, often at some inconven - ience. At times it would have been only fair to them and their charges to have employed a permanent nurse, which, in - deed, will probably become necessary before long. A card system of records has been installed at the farm, wherein the visits, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, etc., are entered and.
IOI
preserved for future reference. I have found this innovation very valuable in my work.
Respectfully yours, JOHN V. GALLAGHER, M. D.
