This report would not be complete without mention of the purchase by the Trustees of the picture of the old Town Hall, date about 1841, which will soon grace the wall of the reading room as a companion picture to the ancient Bear Hill view.
Much credit must be given the librarian and his assistant for their competent handling of the recall, re-numbering and re-issuing of our card system.
It seems unjust to delay the payment of bills contracted in 'November until the re-appropriation of the dog tax in March. Yet at present such is the case.
Patrons of the library will regret to learn that Mrs. Eve- lyn Cooke, who has for twenty-one years assisted in the reading room, has resigned her position. She is succeeded by Miss Madeline Kynock.
Respectfully submitted,
P. E. SWEENEY, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
TO THE SELECTMEN AND CITIZENS OF MILFORD :-
April 1, 1921, the board of health established the Tuber- culosis Dispensary in the Thayer building. It is open on Tuesday from 3.30 to 4.30 p. M. and Friday evening from 7.30 to 8.30, with a doctor and nurse in attendance. It has been our aim to instruct and advise those who have any lung weak- ness how to care for themselves and protect others with whom they come in contact. The average attendance has been five a week, which we feel is due in a large measure to the co-opera- tion of local physicians in reporting cases. The energetic work of the nurse has resulted in many suspicious and incipi. ent cases being examined at the dispensary, and obtaining early admission to hospitals.
An outbreak of typhoid fever occurred in September, shortly after the first case was reported on the 24th, and the total number of Milford patients was 11. There were two cases from Upton in our hospital which had no connection with the Milford outbreak. The cause as determined was due to bottle infection. The milk route on which the cases oc- curred was immediately suspended and pasteurization ordered, after the plant had been inspected and approved by the State Health authorities.
If it were possible to insist on pasteurized milk for public use milk born diseases would be prevented as diphtheria. scar- let fever, typhoid, bovine tuberculosis, and summer diarrhoe so prevalent in bottle-fed infants. In the near future let us hope that the Legislature will enact a law for pasteurized milk, or some up to date ¿milk producer in ourdistrict have an ideal plant where milk will be pasteurized and cans and bottles steam sterilized.
A recent act of the Legislature called for inspections and
136
registration of bakeries, by the board of health, and also the licensing of soda water manufacturers.

partment, and the citizens at large, all of whom I want to sincerely thank.
I urgently recommend that a permanent police force be established, because a town of this size certainly should have one and the additional money required for this purpose is in - significant when compared with the protection and security it will afford to the lives and property of our townspeople.
Respectfully submitted, ERNEST E. OBRIEN, Chief of Police.
IN MEMORIAM.
On August 17, 1921, the town was saddened by the sud- den and unexpected death of Michael Nolan, a member of the . police department for a period of years.
We lament the loss of one who faithfully and efficiently performed at all times his duty as a member of the police de- partment of this community, and look to his example as the star to guide us in the performance of our police duties.

REPORT OF THE TOWN SOLICITOR.
Milford, Mass., January 24, 1922.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
The Law Department of the town has been kept contin- ually busy during the past year in connection with numerous cases and legal matters concerning the carrying on of the town business and its various officers and boards.
There are now pending against the town in various courts of the Commonwealth the following cases, to wit :
Suit brought by the Town of Framingham, Mass., to re- cover $645.02 for aid given to one Jennie Bevilacqua, contend- ing that her settlement was in Milford and the obligation be- longs to Milford. This case will probably be settled very soon.
Suit brought by John Gubana for injury received in March, 1920, on Carroll street, claiming a defective sidewalk. Liability of the town very doubtful.
Anthony Parente has brought a claim for injury caused by a town truck. This is protected by insurance and will be handled and paid by insurance company should there be a judgment against the town.
Home National Bank has filed a complaint claiming it has been aggrieved by assessment made by assessors and requests that there be an abatement. Matter will probably be tried very soon.
The committee that your board appointed to assist me in preparing a set of proposed building and fire limit by-laws have met with me and will be ready to submit to the voters at the next town meeting this much and long needed by law amendment.
I strongly urge that within the coming year the law de-
144
partment be instructed to examine all previous town by-laws, recodify the same and bring before the town meeting of November, 1922, for action, a concise and complete set of by- laws governing all town officers, departments and the general public.
I earnestly thank all town boards and town officers, espe- cially your Honorable Board and our able Chief of Police, for the aid given and the courtesy extended me during my first trying year as Town Solicitor.
Respectfully submitted, !
ALFRED B. CENEDELLA, Town Solicitor.
Report of the Inspector of Wires.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN ;-
In presenting the report of the department for the year, I am under the disadvantage of having actual charge of the work for only one half of the period.
I wish, in this connection, to present a tribute of apprecia- tion of the work of Mr. John B. Warner, who did all the o :- ganization work of the department and faithfully carried on the work for over six years.
In taking over the work of the department, I have tried to make the inside wiring inspections more searching and have in many cases made from two to four inspections, to . cover all parts of the work.
Three hundred and four first inspections, and 112 subse- quent inspections hive been made during the year, besides many consultations of an advisory nature.
The increase in electric lighting and power is shown by the following report of the Milford Electric Light and Power Company.

The most striking feature of the year was a sleet storm on November 27, 28 and 29th ; which crippled all wire service in nearly all eastern Massachusetts, as no storm in history had done.
The Electric Light Company lost all of its six commer. cial circuits and five street light circuits, about 100 poles went down, and about one ton of wire has been scrapped.
In addition, both main power lines from Uxbridge were

lost and the town was without commercial power for nearly a day.
By most strenuous efforts on the part of the officials and men of the Electric Light Company they were able to restore one main line on the night of the 29th, and Milford was on- of the most fortunate towns in the region.
The local power circuits were first restored to get the factories in operation, then the Main Street circuits, then the residential section and the street lights. .
The New England Telephone & Telegraph Company suf- fered fully as badly. Out of 911 circuits and 2208 telephones, 725 circuits and 1600 telephones went out of service, and all toll lines out of town went down ; except those to Framing- ham and Boston, which were in cable.
All the local force of the Company from Manager and Wire Chief down, worked hard to keep the most important lines in service during the storm. About 305 poles will be ' replaced and about 70 men have been employed in the vicin- ity, on the repairs.
The Milford & Uxbridge Street Railway Company had its share of trouble.
For one day, November 29th, its steam plant furnished power, the first time in three and one half years, the only elec- tric power in town.
Cars were operated between Milford and Hopedale nearly all the time, but for nearly three days no power could be put on any other line, a condition that has not occurred in the history of the road.
The fire alarm circuits suffered much the same as other wires, but owing to energetic work and fortunate absence of fires, no serious results occurred.
Milford has much for which to be thankful and should give much credit to the men who restored our wire service much earlier than in many towns and cities.
Considering the conditions, the absence of serious acci-
147
dents was remarkable, and the different companies were very prompt to attend to dangerous conditions when reported.
Months will be required to fully restore all wires and poles, but when the work is completed several improvements will be evident.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED M. DANIELS, Inspector of Wires.
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD, MASS :-
I have examined the accounts as shown by the treasurer's books and verified the accounts as presented in the reports of the various town officers and find them correct.
I find there exists a grave necessity of having town offi- cials, over whom there is no supervising board or committee, make periodic reports of work done and any other details con- nected with their work essential for a full knowledge and un- derstanding of what each department has accomplished.
I also suggest that each department of the town govern- ment be compelled to have its report in the hands of the prop- er official not later than January 15 of each year, so that the printer may have sufficient time and be able to deliver Town Reports on or about February 20, thus giving the citizens plenty of time to look over same previous to annual town meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM P. CLARKE,
Auditor.
