We find that the cost of the maintenance during the past year has slightly increased, due in part to the advance of la. bor at the beds of about 20 per cent and to extra labor ex- pended in digging up and clearing of underdrains at filter beds which had become slightly clogged owing to the extreme fine- ness of the sand.
In many preceding reports we have tried to impress on you the absolute necessity of additional siphons because the capacity of those in use was not sufficient to care for the How under all conditions, but our efforts in this direction have not moved you to take any action, however during the past year the State Board of Health acting on the complaint of certain citizens of the town have investigated the conditions, and have brought the matter to your attention through the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and this board, who at a joint meeting requested the Town Solicitor to take the matter up, (in con. junction with our engineer, Mr. F. A. Barbour) with the State Board of Health, and we are pleased to report that they pre- vailed on the latter board to delay any drastic action, by as- suring them that the town would build the additional siphons, if allowed sufficient time to provide the funds in the manner previously done for all construction of sewers. We trust you will comply with these requirements by providing for the ad- ditional siphons without delay.
The condition of the carriers at the beds was described in the last report, but by very careful repairing by the men reg- ularly employed at the beds we managed to get along during
149
the year, deeming it advisable owing to the high cost of work. We will very probably be obliged to construct part of the same during the coming summer and the cost can be taken from assessment funds of the department, but we recommend that the appropriation for maintenance be increased to $3,000.
The following statement indicates the condition of the assessment account :-

It appears from a detailed examination of the records of installment or delayed payments on assessments, that at the present time a total of $4,896.43, not including interest, and due at varying dates from 1910 to the present time, and pay- able previous to January 1, 1917, has not been collected. This amount is due the department, in addition to the sums which are shown in the above tabulation, and in fairness to those abutters who have paid their assessments in one or more ill- stallments, steps should be immediately taken to collect these overdue payments. Under the law, such assessments consti- tute a lien on property.
The total number of house connections is 1,176, 68 hav- ing been added during the past year.
Respectfully yours,

Nine regular patrolmen are employed by the town at dif- ferent times during the day and night, one officer 61 hours per week, one officer 45 hours per week, one officer 41 hours per week, one officer 28 hours per week, one officer 38 hours per week, one officer 20 hours per week, one officer 21 hours per week, one officer 5 hours per week, one officer 12 hours per week.
The past year has been a very hard one for the police officers. A band of thieves started to ply their trade at steal- ing and also white slaving, but, thanks to our officers, we got them, and they are serving time in jail. I regret very much

the untimely death of one of my officers, who was shot down in the performance of his duty, and I want to say here that no better officer than he was on the force; careful, polite and kindly to the citizens, and fearless and courageous in the per- formance of his duty. In the death of Harry Butler, the town. has lost a valuable citizen and the police force a brother offi- cer whom we all loved and admired. His loss was felt deep- ly by every officer on the force. The town has now a very efficient police force, and I again want to call the attention of the citizens to the fact that they are very poorly paid for their service, and I think the poorest paid police officers in the state and I earnestly plead and recommend that your officers be paid at least thirty cents an hour for their services, and I also recommend that your police force be put under Civil Service, so your officers can do their duty and have the benefit of old age pensions, and the other advantages that the officers enjoy under civil service rules. This can be done without any more expense to the town and will put your police force outside of politics, and your men can do their duty without fear or favor, and cannot be discharged only for neglect of duty.
The legislature will soon have a bill to make every police force in every town in the state under civil service, and they will take part of them to summer camps and train them in police work. This is because under Civil Service rules- you can get much better men, who by their size, health and years are best qualified to take up police work, than for the appointing of men who are not qualified for police work, but are appointed for political reasons, and I earnestly recom- mend that the town of Milford put your police now under Civil Service. While our taxes now, perhaps, will not admit of putting on a regular paid police force, you must come to it, before many years, and if you begin now, you can replace your officers by men who are best qualified to do police work.
And now in conclusion let me thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the other town officers and the citizens in general for the assistance they have given me during the past.

year and I sincerely thank the police officers for their hearty co-operation and assistance and their willingness to help me in every way thereby making the burden of your chief of police as light as possible.
Respectfully submitted, JEREMIAH T. MURPHY, Chief of Police.

INSPECTIONS.
Four hundred thirty-two inspections have been made of stores, milk wagons, junk dealers, peach, berry, vegetable, charcoal and coke peddlers, as shown in the record above stated ; besides frequent visits, not recorded, which have been made to stores, peddlers, etc., and the patroling of streets in anticipation of meeting dealers in commodities.
HAWKERS' AND PEDDLERS' LICENSES.
We have licensed 17 peddlers at $20 each, netting for the town $323 00. The town has $19.00 and state has $1. This law has put your sealer to a lot of extra work, as he has to be on the job at all times.
You are hereby notified that the laws of this state pro- vide that all scales, weights and measures used in the sale of any commodity. should be sealed before using. Scales, etc., to be sealed, should be presented at the office of the local Sealer of Weights and Measures. All such articles must be sealed annually, and as the seal is evidence of inspection, care should be exercised that it is not Detached or Defaced.
Thanking the honorable board of selectmen, the town so- licitor and the public for the assistance given me during my term as sealer of weights and measures, I am
Respectfully, DANIEL M. O'BRIEN, . Seiler of Weights and Measures.
REPORT OF TOWN SOLICITOR.
Milford, February 8, 1917.
HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
I herewith submit my report as town solicitor for the the past year.
The case of the City of Malden against the Town of Mil- ford which has been pending in the Superior Court was brought to an issue. This was an action for medical attention and services rendered to a pauper, under the claim that the settlement was in Miltord. After several conferences and de- termination to press claim on part of Milford the City of Malden abandoned its claim.
The case of Town of Walpole against Town of Milford which was an action charging the Town of Milford for medi- cal attention and services rendered a pauper, under the claim that the settlement was in Milford, was settled after an inves- tigation, which showed beyond a doubt that the contention of Walpole was correct. I have appeared in the local court sev- eral times in connection with a number of cases of burglary.
The following case is now pending: Nicola Tosches against Town of Milford for land taken for highway purposes, being the extension of Mount Pleasant street to East street.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN C. LYNCH,
Town Solicitor.
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
I have examined the books of the different departments and find that the vouchers correspond with the orders drawn on and paid by the town treasurer.
I have also examined the accounts of the tax collector and treasurer and find them to be correct.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS F. MANNING. Auditor.
