so. We are not allowed to spend any of our income, this be- turned in to the town treasurer.
We would earnestly recommend to the voters' that money appropriated for the poor department henceforth be in one lump sum, instead of being divided between the Mothers' Aid and General Aid departments This would enable our board to use the money where needed, near the close of the year, and avoid the expense of a special town meeting, such as was held last December, to transfer money. Of course, we would continue to keep two sets of books-one for Mothers' Aid ac- count and one for General Aid-as at present, so that voters could ascertain at a glance just what each department is cost- ing the ton. The new method would allow the use of the funds, as needed, in either department, with the same syste m of bookkeeping as at present.

The maintenance account for the year was $214.44 less than the amount expended during 192 4, and taking into con- sideration the fact that both the new and old disposal plant was operated during the entire year your Commission feels that it is now in a position to satisfactorily dispose of the sewage for the Town without any substantial increase in maintenance costs.
We recommend for the coming y ear the following appro- priations : For sewer maintenance the sum of $7,500.00 and for General Sewer Construction the amount to be advised by the Finance Committee as we understand they intend to re- commend a certain amount each year, and that all present un- expended balances in the construction account be transferred to the account of General Construction.
For a summary of the work done during the year in the construction of street sewers and in the completing of the
119
disposal plant we refer you to the report of the Engineers hereto appended.
The total house connections during the year was 35 mak- ing a grand total to date of 1483.

Report of Engineers to Sewerage Commission
Boston, Mass., January 15, 1926. Dear Sirs : -
Our report of the work done under direction of your Commission during the year 1925 is as follows : -
Street sewers were constructed by contract in Dominick, North and Quinlan Streets, an extension of the Westbrook Street sewer was made late in the season to relieve an espe- cially unsanitary condition, this work being done at a cost basis by day labor. The year 1925 sewer construction has added 1290 feet to the length of sewer constructed.
The new Imhooff Trickler Plant for the disposal of sew- age has completed its first full year of continuous operation with satisfactory results ; construction work in connection, with this plant is now completed with the single exception of setting a check valve in the secondary tank suction piping- this valve of special construction arrived too late to be set during the past year.
Your Commission is now in a position to meet the present demand for full treatment of the sewage wastes from the Town.
Very truly yours,
BARBOUR AND DIXON.

Report of Inspector of Wires.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I would submit the following report of the Wire In- spection Department for the year 1925, the eleventh year of the inspection service.
The inspections of interior wiring for the year were as follows :
Certificates issued for
249 meters in 194 finished buildings
69 meters in 57 new buildings
23 new buildings rough wired and not completed
30 special inspections
The increase in building activity has amounted to nearly 50 per cent over last year.
A new "National Electrical Code" has been issued the past fall and is now in force, though the changes are not radical.
The rapid increase in the use of appliances in the home has opened many problems, particularly overload- ing and overfusing of circuits. Both owners and tenants are urged to consult competent electricians, or the inspec- tor, rather than cause trouble with your lighting system, or even fire, by ill advised action.
Electrically driven oil burners for heating and gaso- line filling stations are two other lines of installations that require much attention from the inspector.
The business of the Milford Electric Light & Power Co. and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. shows a steady growth and has called for considerable increase in capacity during the year to provide for the demands.
The Electric Light Company has installed several
126
condenser equipments at points of the system where the power demand is heavy, that aid in better efficiency and more satisfactory service.
The poles of all companies have received many re- newals and are at present in very good condition. The policy of joint use of poles is being extended, to the great improvement of the appearance of streets.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED. M. DANIELS, Inspector of Wires.

Report of Town Solicitor.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN OF MILFORD :
During the past year this department has been busier in matters of interest to the Town than in any equal period which I can recall. A great deal of time was con- sumed in the so-called civil service litigation which was finally determined by an opinion of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. This litigation involved two peti- tions for writs of mandamus, and in connection there- with a number of hearings were held before an auditor for the purpose of establishing the facts. The matter is now disposed of and the Police Department and the chief of police are decreed to be under the civil service law.
I have appeared in behalf of the Police Department in the prosecution of the following cases : 17 violations of the liquor laws; 7 automobile cases; 1 robbery; 1 break- ing and entering ; 1 larceny ; 1 receiving stolen goods ; and 1 collecting junk without a license.
The action of Florence Adams for injuries caused by a defective sidewalk, which has been pending for some time, has been settled.
The Town was trusteed on several occasions on ac- countof funds in its hands due under the contract for the construction of the Central Street drain but all of these have been disposed of.
I appeared for the Town in connection with the tele- phone rate hearings.
The requests for opinions and advice in the various departments have been numerous, in fact the whole period has been one of general activity and naturally the ex- pense of the department has been increased by the de- mands made for extra service.

I thank all boards and officials for the patience and consideration which has been shown this department.
Respectfully submitted, CHESTER F. WILLIAMS, Town Solicitor.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
Gentlemen- I beg to report that as a result of periodic and annual inspection of animals in this town, I find that there is a marked improvement in the general health and housing condition. Cattle are more carefully chosen, in replacing, and owners are more careful to secure only tested animals, both state and Federal certified. While this locality is slow to accept the Federal test, I feel that milk producers are con . sidering the matter seriously.
Contagious condition in swine has diminished greatly, due to inoculation and better sanitary conditions.
This town escaped the infectious disease of poultry that did so much damage to stock in New England, due to the timely quarantine put on by state authorities, and inspection. There was no rabies outbreak, and at the present no cases are in this vicinity.
DR. B. F. HARTMAN,
Inspector of Animals.
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF MILFORD :-
I have examined the vouchers drawn by the different de- partments of our town government, and the bills incurred by each department and find them correct and in accordance with their appropriations.
My thanks are extended to all the town officials with whom I came in contact for their consideration and co-opera- tion.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH V. CAREY,
Auditor.
