136 cards were signed for re-admission to school after illness with a contagious disease; 119 children were vaccinated at the clinics June 1st and June 8th; 153 re- ceived the 3 toxoid injections as preventative against diphtheria. These were held in the Lynch Auditorium in the Milford High School on Oct. 27, Nov. 3rd, 10th, and 17th.
Statistically, the number of communicable diseases has not been unusual, although we did have a slight in- crease in measles and scarletina late in 1942. There has been no epidemic or cause for alarm.
There is but one way of actually ascertaining the extent of diseases dangerous to the public health, and that is by establishing closer co-operation between phy- sicians, householders and the Health Board. If a physi- cian sees a patient ill with a contagious disease, he is the responsible party ; but, if no physician is employed, then the householder should make a report to the Health Board.
Under the present food shortages and rationing, mothers must be more solicitous than ever as to the proper feeding of the growing children, and see that they have the best possible diet and eat their three meals a day.
Too many times have children who were underweight told me that they had a cup of coffee and a cookie or piece of toast for their breakfast. This is a very inadequate meal and no child can develop mentally or physically if it continues.
The foods necessary are milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables and meat. A school child should have at least a quart of milk daily, fruit, green vegetables and one serving of fish, meat or poultry. Cereals combined with milk are
144
very nutritious. Cod liver oil can be used to enhance the diet, and is essential for the growing child.
Following is a list of diseases declared by the Depart- ment of Public Health of Massachusetts to be dangerous to the public health, and reportable under the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 109, 111 and 112, Chapter 111, General Laws:
Actinomycosis; Anterior Poliomyelitis; Anthrax; Asiatic Cholera ; Chicken Pox; Diphtheria; Dog-bite (re- quiring anti-rabic treatment; Dysentery-a. Amebic, b. Bacillary; Encephalitis Lethargica; Epidemic Cerebro- spinal Meningitis; German Measles; Glanders; * Gonor- rhea ; Hookworm Disease; Infectious Diseases of the Eye -a. Ophthalmia Neonatorum; b.

Report of the Park Commissioners
Year 1942
To the Citizens of the Town of Milford :
We hereby submit our annual report with financial report appended for the year 1942.
Bancroft, Calzone, Draper and Town Parks have all been given their proportionate amount of care during the year with the limited funds of our Department.
The tennis courts were resurfaced and graded but weather conditions were hard to compete with this year.
The playgrounds were capably directed this season by a very efficient director and her able assistants. Over twelve hundred children participated in the activities.
A planned program of games was carried out daily by the children and inter-playground games were en- joyed. Air-raid drills and worth-while projects were car- ried out. Hikes and frankfurt roasts were a part of the program at no extra cost to the Town.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank all who assisted us in any way.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS W. BENOTTI, Chairman WILLIAM J. SCHMITTHENNER CHRISTOPHER C. MORCONE

Report of the Tree Warden and Gypsy Moth Superintendent
To the Voters of the Town of Milford:
I hereby submit my annual report on the care and removal of trees and brush.
I have removed twenty-one trees this past year that were a menace to life and property at an average cost of Twenty-four Dollars per tree. I was able to do this work at such a low cost through the cooperation of Mr. Frank Cahill, our Highway Surveyor, who allowed me the use of his trucks in removing brush and wood from trees that I had cut. If I had to pay for all the trucking, I would not have been able to remove so many, as I had one hundred and two hours trucking. I wish to publicly thank Mr. Cahill at this time. I also wish to thank Fire Chief Adams for his cooperation.
I received and investigated 67 complaints, mostly for gypsy moth, elm leaf beetle, tent caterpillar and fall webb worm.
I have experimented with the Corroselli injection method for the care of diseased trees, and find that it is away ahead of any method now in use. I will con- tinue to use this so-called Corroselli method in the future.
Brush has been cut down and burned on Haven Street, Howard Street, Maple Street, Birch Street, Asylum Street, part of Highland and North Vine Streets. I have also cut some brush on Carroll Street, East Wal -. nut, Beaver and Camp Streets.
The Gypsy Moth situation is very bad in this town as the appropriation is too small and the whole town cannot be taken care of. Under the heading of Gypsy Moth we should also take care of the Tent Caterpillar, Fall Webb Worm, Leopard Moth, Elm Leaf Beetle and the Maple Borer.
Respectfully submitted,
MATTHEW P. ANDREANO,
Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent.

Tax Collector's Report for 1942
To the Selectmen and Citizens:
On Sept. 19, 1942, the Board of Selectmen unani- mously appointed me to the position of Tax Collector. I assumed office on Sept. 21, on approval of my bond. Herewith is presented my report from that date to January 1. The report of the late Collector, William J. Read, for the previous months of the year will be found elsewhere in this Town Report, as submitted by the State Auditors.
This office is now open about seven hours weekly more than under the previous schedule. Hours now are 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., including the noon hour, and Friday evenings from 7 to 9 o'clock. Until the fuel shortage caused the closing of Town Hall offices Saturdays this office was open from 9 to 3 o'clock on that day.
I have made several changes in the office, and plan to make many more, to the end that Milford may have a modern system of filing and a modern office for the transaction of a tax business that involves the handling of nearly $1,000,000 annually.
The table on the opposite page gives concisely my financial report since assuming office. It shows the debits, credits and balances, giving the taxpayers a clear picture of the work accomplished in this department.
As of Jan. 1, 1943, there is a total $72,209.75 less in outstanding (unpaid) taxes than on Jan. 1, 1942. It is my hope that during the coming year an even greater reduction in unpaid taxes can be shown, thus increasing the town's resources, and aiding materially in reducing the tax rate.
In closing I wish to sincerely thank the various town and state officials for the whole-hearted, willing co-operation extended me in my new work, and the many citizens who offered me words of encouragement and advice. I assumed this office when tax collections were at their peak, and have given the office my constant at- tention and my best efforts. I trust my work has met with your approval.
Very truly yours FRED J. COLEMAN, Tax Collector.

Report of the Sewerage Commission
To the Citizens of Milford:
The following report on the activities of the Milford Sewer Department in connection with new construction and the maintenance and operation of the system during the year ending December 31, 1942 is respectfully sub- mitted :
Construction of lateral sewers under a W. P. A. project for Freedom Street and by independent con- tract in Archer Street and Ravenna Street have been completed.
On May 19, 1942 proposals were received from the following local contractors for construction of sewers in Archer Street and Ravenna Street.
Robert Costa Co., Inc. $5,172.75
Guido Sabatinelli
5,243.75
Philipo Bodio
5,299.50
Peter Consigli
5,514.75
The contract was awarded to Robert Costa Co., Inc. on the basis of being the lowest bid received. The work was completed without incident and record drawings and assessment schedules were prepared in accordance with usual department practice.
Based on the latest published reports of average re- sults of analyses made by the State Department of Health, the efficiency of sewage treatment at the Milford plant, using the per cent removal of B. O. D. by filters and secondary tanks as an index, is 91. There are seven other trickling filter plants in Massachusetts and the average per cent removal by these plants is 85, and none show higher results than Milford.
