REPORT OF THE ·
TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN LIBRARY.
The Trustees of the Town Library respectfully submit the following reports.
The circulation department continues to show an increase in the number of books taken by patrons. In common with many libraries the craze for moving pictures affects our circu- lation. The last three months a slight decrease has been noticed in the juvenile department. This is not surprising, when one sees the number of children thronging the enter . tainment places.
In our reference department, we have placed the Standard Reference Work, a six volume er cyclopedia "for the home, school and library." This is especially adapted for the use of school children for whom the usaal encyclopedia is too diffuse.
Mr. F. A. Manchester has presented the library with "Great men and famous women," a series of pen and pencil sketches of the lives of more than 200 of the most prominent personages in history, soldiers and sailors, statesmen and sages, workmen and heroes, artists and authors. The work was published in sixty-tight parts, and sold only by subscrip- tion
Good use has been made of the lists of books relating to United States history, furnished the seventh and eighth grades last year. This year lists of books, based on similar ones used by the Worcester and Buffalo libraries, are in preparation. The following, taken from the preface of the Buffalo catalogue, .expresses the object of these lists : £ "If the catalogue as a whole serves to help even toward realization of the ideals which inspired its making, it will be worth the labor it cost. Those ideals could hardly be better expressed than by the
84
following words of President William De Witt Hyde, of Bow- doin College : 'It is not of so much consequence what a boy knows when he leaves school, as what he loves. The greater part of what he knows he will speedily forget. What he loves he will feed on. His hunger will prompt his efforts to. increase his store. The love of good literature is, from every point of view, the most valuable equipment with which the school can send its boys and girls into the world.' "
At a meeting of the Trustees, heid January 12, 1915, it. was voted to request an appropriation of $800.00 and the dog tax for the benefit of the Town Library during the ensuing. year.

Regulation III. When a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small pox or any .other disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immedi- ately give notice thereof to the Board of Health of the town, and if he refuses or neglects to give such notice, he shall for- feit for each offense not more than one hundred dollars.
The Secretary of the Health Board wishes to extend here his sincere thanks to Mr. Caswell, superintendent of schools, for his able and methodical assistance in tracing out infectious and contagious diseases in absentees. It was only by his co- operation that the schools were kept open during that epi- demic of March and April.
The Board takes this occasion to warn parents and guardians of the necessity of reporting contagious and infec- tious diseases.
Regulation I. When a householder knows that a person within his family or house is sick of small pox, diphtheria , scarlet fever or any other infectious or contagious disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice thereof to the Board of Health of the city or town in which he dwells, ant upon the death, recovery or removal of such person, such of the rooms of said house and such of the articles therein as, in the opinion of the Board of Health, have been subjected to infection or contagion, shall be disinfected by such householder to the satisfaction of said Board of Health. Any person neglecting or refusing to comply with either of the above provisions shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.
The Board recommends the purchase of a Lang motor
93
and suggests the Finance Committee make an allowance for same. Some lives might have been saved if the town or some of the corporations of Milford had had such an appliance dur- ing past years.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
"TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
GENTLEMEN : I herewith submit my report as Inspector of Animals for the year beginning April 1 to December 31, 1914.
The annual inspection of cattle is begun February 1 each year, but on account of the outbreak of the hoof and mouth disease the inspection has been delayed by order of the cattle bureau, Department of Animal Industry.
I discovered three cases of tuberculosis among cattle, and case of glanders, and cholera among a herd of hogs, all of which were properly cared for.
I intend to start on my annual inspection of cattle at -once and will report conditions as I find them in my next an - nual report.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
In presenting our annual report for the year 1914 we beg; to state that it has been a year of hard work for our depast- ment with greatly increased expenditures. This was due to . lack of work and general depression in business and the very high cost of meats, provisions, and all general merchandise bought.
Our outside aid is increasing at a rapid pice. We have been aiding from thirty to thirty-five families at an average of two to three dollars weekly, together with doctor, medicine. and fuel when needed.
The number of inmates at our Town Home was largem- than ever, a great number of whom are aged and require medi- cine continually.
Your overseers consider it fortunate that they have been able to continue our Town Home under the management of Superintendent Dearth and wife and their assistants, and we again take pleasure in commending their faithful and efficient services. During the past year we have fitted up a hospital room with bed, cots and medicine cabinet, where we can and- dle our sick with greater care and under more sanitary condi- tions. We have also furnished the Home with many pieces. of parlor and chamber furniture, new beds, mattresses and: chairs being added. On the barn we take special pride ias what has been done. We have added a new sixty-tou sifo- which we find of great advantage, and have had the sides of the barn all re nailed and shingled with asphalt fire prost shingles, which add greatly to the appearance and comfort of the barn. On, the land much time and money have been spent in clearing new fields, which is slow work, but we hope: will show results later. We have an orchard started of two hundred peach and apple trees, which with good care will auch good income in years to come. We have started a piggery" built a nice building along modern ideas, and we hope år another year to net good profit. We point with pride to (NAME
:
98
income for milk the last year, and believe that there is a chance to still further increase this branch. Many of the in- surance policies on the farm buildings expired the past year, and it cost $190 to renew the same. Never before was the expense so heavy for outside aid here, and for our people liv- ing in other cities and towns. Two families in Quincy were aided to the extent of approximately $500. We refused the settlement of this bill, and after much debating and many con- ferences received an allowance of $92 to our credit. One Mil- ford case now living in Brockton cost our department $20 per week for many months, and these are the cases, with many others, that are a great drain on our funds.
We are now aiding fourteen cases of mothers with de- pendent children, at an average of from $3 to $8 weekly in provisions, fuel, rents, and medical treatment. This number will be increased, as new cases present themselves. We call attention to the list of unpaid bills January 1, 1915, which, had we received the money allowed us at the November town meeting, would have been paid. We recommend that the sum of $3500 be appropriated for mothers' aid for the present year, and $15,000 for outside aid and our Town Home. We have taken up the matter of salaries for the overseers of the poor with your finance committee, and have asked that they recom- mend that the same be increased from $525 to $1000 per year. We ask this increase because the work has more than doubled in the past three years, and our Mothers' Aid law, which went into effect in 1913, requires the continual services of a clerk, which we cannot afford at our present salary.
Our inventory taken January 1, 1915, shows an increased value on real estate and personal property of $767.14 over that of 1914.
We respectfully submit the following reports :-
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Milford, Mass., January 1, 1915.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR :-
GENTLEMEN :- During the eleven months ending Decem- ber 31, 1914, very much the some kind of work was carried
1
99
on that was mapped out in the last report. Two fields have been cleared of rocks and one more under way, making more land for cultivation. Six hundred chickens were hatched last spring. The milk produced has been a large item, as the re- port will show. A silo has been purchased and was filled in the fall with corn ensilage. The oxen that were purchased in the spring were used on the farm all summer, and were sold in the fall at a profit.
The usual amount of garden truck was raised, but the market was very poor. Hogs are being raised at the farm and swill collected in Milford for their feed. A new hog house has just been built with very little cost to the town, as lumber was cut on the farm and labor performed by us.
The shingling of the barn was done by the regular men on the place in addition to their regular work. The amount of produce consumed on the farm during the past year is ap- proximately as follows .:-
28 barrels of apples,
30 barrels of cabbage,
125 bushels of turnips for stock,
18 bushels of turnips,
130 bushels of potatoes for stock,
200 bushels of potatoes,
30 quarts of milk daily,
60 pairs of chickens,
40 bushels of carrots,
7 hogs,
10 bushels of beets,
500 pounds of squash,
1000 pounds of squash for stock,
Beans, corn, peas, cucumbers and all kinds of greens in their season.
The farm is not in a high state of cultivation, and doubt if it can be placed there, although our income is much larger than it was in our last annual report.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. DEARTH,
Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE TOWN PHY SICIAN.
TO THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR :-
GENTLEMEN :- For the year 1914, I have recorded four hundred and thirty- two calls upon patients under the care of this department. Of these, sixty were office calls, one hun- dred and fifty-one were house visits, and two hundred and twenty-one were at the Town Farm. The diseases and disor- ders encountered were varied and too numerous to be specified. here.
The medicine and medical service card supplied by the overseers and entitling the bearer to free medicine and medi- cal attendance for thirty days have been an aid in the work, and I would recommend the continuance of the practice of furnishing them.
We have tried to keep hospital bills within reason and have fitted up a sick room at the farm where patients con- fined to bed receive excellent care and many hospital com- forts.
Most of the people at the Farm are unfitted for any kind of labor, and many of them are really subjects for a hospital for chronic diseases. It is to be hoped that we may soon find a way to have such a hospital, or at least a ward in charge of a trained nurse in connection with the Farm. Arrangements might then be made to care for tuberculosis patients.
To you and the officials at the Farm, I am indebted for. helpful co operation throughout the year.
Respectfully yours,
