Report of the Inspector of Wires
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
In reporting on the work of the Wire Inspection Depart- ment, I can say that the supervision of existing equipment and provision for the continual increase in the use of appli- ances has been a major part. The increase in the use of ap- pliances, both of the permanent type like oil burners and ranges and the portable type have made a great demand for adequate wiring in all types of buildings, both residence and commercial.
Not only are appliances becoming very numerous and more powerful but we are no longer satisfied with the class of lighting of a few years ago.
It is sometimes difficult to convince people of the fact that their wiring installed twenty-five years ago is no longer able to meet the demands of the present day.
During the year several changes have been made in some of the business blocks including one theater, and another building is in progress toward necessary changes.
The widespread use of Neon signs, both interior and ex- terior, has required much attention and the citizens are warned of the potential hazards of the high voltage used and urged to deal only with reliable firms and be sure that the work is inspected.
Most pleasant relations have existed with the Chief of the Fire Department and co-operation both in means of fire prevention and in investigation of fires has always existed. The two departments have much in common interest.
The Inspector is always glad to consult and advise with any property owner in regard to improvement in his equip- ment.
The Public Utility Companies have been spared the stren- uous periods of the two previous years in regard to storms but much of the final cleaning up of hurricane damage has spread over a long period and now I can report that the
214
systems are fully returned to their usual first class con- dition.
Respectfully submitted, FRED M. DANIELS, Inspector of Wires.

Report of the Inspector of Animals
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
As a result of periodic and annual inspection, I am able to report that the health of animals and the sanitary condi- tion of their housing are of the best.
While the number of cattle and swine steadily decreases the care of them is better and more scientific.
The greatest concern of the past year has been the re- peated cases of rabies which have appeared among the dogs of the community. While laboratory tests have disclosed but one positive case of this disease, there is no doubt that many other cases have been present. These cases were either not brought to our attention or the dogs have died or been killed before definite diagnosis was made. In spite of these facts no cases of rabies in humans have occurred ; which is in line with the recent report of the "Live Stock Control Department" which states: "During the last three years there have been no rabies cases in humans in this state. Of the 38 dogs reported as having rabies, 26 were in or about Franklin, Foxboro and the nearby towns. Most of these were traced to a dog that came over the state line from Rhode Island in July."
This all means that I still advocate inoculation of all dogs against the disease either by individuals or by a town- controlled health clinic.
Respectfully submitted,
B. F. HARTMAN,
Inspector of Animals.

Report of the Dog Officer
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The following is my report as Dog Officer for the Town of Milford for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1939 :
During the year I have investigated and adjusted dog complaints from all parts of the Town. I picked up and boarded 25 stray dogs during the year for which the County reimbursed the Town $100.00.
On July 1, 1939, there was turned over to me for investi- gation 135 unlicensed dogs. This large number was due to the adverse business conditions existing during the year. After notifying and interviewing the owners 115 of these licenses were paid and I was forced to bring the remaining 20 into court for disposition.
During 1939 there were 844 Dog licenses and 2 Kennel licenses issued and this number represents the largest num- ber of dog licenses ever issued in the history of the Town in a single year.
