The Dental care of the children is a problem, not only in Mil- ford but in other towns and cities. Dental care is restricted to the first four grades in all schools in the town. Even in these grades the children are unable to all get care as the time is limited. Each school has one day per month for dental care ap- pointments. Because it takes many appointments to finish the care of one child with dental defects, that child must go to the clinic many times. There is not enough time to give other ap- pointments. Even the children who have parents who can afford dental care have the same dental defects year after year. Slips are sent out to the parents about this. We need their co-opera- tion in this serious problem in order to remedy it.
All of the Senior class of St. Mary's school were X-rayed in April. With the exception of that for one pupil, all reports were negative for tuberculosis. I wish to state at this time to the parents that when the X-rays are given in the schools parents should insist on their children receiving one. If an infected student had refused, early treatment could not have been given.
A Red Cross Home Nursing Course, instructed by Red Cross Nurse Mrs. Allison Anderson, is being taken by forty-six of the St. Mary's High School students. Two credit points are given for this course.
A Clinic for crippled children is held every third Friday of the month at Worcester. All parents may take advantage of this serv- ice if their children have any foot defects, or any other deformities. All that is needed is a slip from their family physician.

SHEEP
Markets dealing in Meats and Provisions were periodically inspected by me. Sanitary conditions with few exceptions were found to be carried out in a satisfactory manner. Marketmen were willing to co-operate with the Health Department in observ- ing the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the sale of meats and provisions.
Respectfully submitted, Jeremiah Macchi, INSPECTOR OF SLAUGHTERING, MEATS AND PROVISIONS.
Report of your Inspector of animals
Honorable Board of Selectmen:
January 15, 1948
I regret to report that during this last year the decrease in the number of domestic animals under my inspection, has reached a record low. At no time in my years of service as Inspector of Animals, has the number of cows, horses, and swine been so small. There are now but 175 cattle, 22 horses and 40 swine in the town of Milford.
99
There has been the usual number of dog bites reported, but with no rabies cases. In fact, the physical condition of all animals in the district has been fine, as no outbreaks of contagious or in- fectious diseases have occurred.
Once more I would like to remind dog owners or breeders that permits or certificates of health must accompany all dogs being shipped out of, or into, the state.
Respectfully submitted,
B. F. Hartman,
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
Report of your Board of Sewer Commissioners
To the Citizens of Milford:
We respectfully submit the following report on maintenance, operation, and construction of the Milford sewerage system for the year ending December 31, 1947:
There were 39 premises connected with the system during the year, making a total of 2,079 recorded particular sewers con- structed to date. The main and lateral sewers now completed is 27.9 miles.
The following bids were received on April 29, 1947, for furnishing and installing a new pumping unit and screen at the Charles Street, low-level district pumping station.
Aetna Engineering Co. $2,865.00
Ralph P. Hall, Inc. 3,245.00
Fairbanks Morse Co. 4,278.00
Hayes Pump & Machinery Co. 4,950.00
On the basis of the lowest bid received and also the highest guaranteed overall efficiency, the contract was awarded under date of May 13, 1947 to the Aetna Engineering Co. This contract has not been completed due to delay in manufacture of electrical appur- tenances; every effort is, however, being made by the Contractor to complete the installation.
A final estimate was made upon completion of the lateral and intercepting sewers which were begun in 1946, and the cost was $24,184.82, or $2,628.0.0 less than the original estimate.

SEWER COMMISSIONERS
Under date of July 22, 1947, a letter was received from the State Department of Public Health recommending that immediate action be taken by the Town of Milford to provide chlorination of the effluent from the sewage treatment plant. An investigation was conducted by our Engineers and an estimate of cost was pre- pared which will be presented to the Town for action in 1948 to meet the requirements of the State authorities in this matter. Satisfactory operation of the treatment plant has been effected during the year (except in the matter of Chlorination of sewage effluent discharged to the Charles River as mentioned above) and the overall condition of System of sewers and sewage treatment works is satisfactory.
Considerable amount of flushing has been done this year. In view of insufficient funds, we were unable to make a complete job, we have asked for more funds for the following year, so that we will be able to cover the entire system, which is very essential.
We have repaired a number of manholes on several streets that were completely covered over and deteriorated. We have painted the Ejector Station, interior and exterior and also a considerable amount of repairs were made to the pumps, and electrical work on Medway Station.
Also at the plant, both the pumping station, building, the office, and tool house, iron covers, all have leading exposed pipes, shut-offs and valves were all given two coats of paint. Screens in the dozing tank have been replaced, including new sprinkler nozzles. In addition we would like to mention that many minor repairs have been made within the entire system.
We would like to mention the fact that the concrete walls and iron covers of the Imhoff tanks at the plant are badly in need of repair, funds for this purpose should be provided to remedy this condition immediately.

Report of your Highway Surveyor
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Milford:
Herewith I submit my report as Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31, 1947.
EXPENDITURES
On December 31 of this year, the Honorable Board of Select- men at my own request, granted me retirement, under Chapter 32, Section 58 of the General Laws. (Ter. Ed.)
I have been an employee of the Highway Department for the past thirty-one years, and have served as Highway Surveyor for over seven years, during which time I have endeavored to fulfill the duties of the office as well as I knew how, and to give the people of Milford every service that the funds allotted would allow.
Whatever success I have had has been due to the loyalty and efforts of the Highway Department employees, and the cooperation of the Finance Commission, and all other Town Officials and em- ployees.
I wish to thank the voters of Milford, for the splendid support they have always afforded me, and I sincerely hope they will show as much patience and goodwill toward my successor as they have toward me. Because the problems of the Highway Surveyor are many, it is often impossible to honor requests that are made for various repairs.
I sincerely wish my successor a pleasant administration.
J. Frank Cahill, HIGHWAY SURVEYOR.

Department of Veterans' Services
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and Voters of Milford:
The Department of Veterans' Services was established for the purpose of furnishing information, advice, and assistance to veterans of Milford. In order to obtain the knowledge required to facilitate the proper functioning of this office, I attended special classes at the State Department of Veterans' Services Training Institute in veterans' affairs. Problems and benefits under the GI Bill of Rights, received personal instruction from representatives of the Veterans' Administration and I read extensively in litera- ture pertaining to veterans. The problems of veterans have been varied and many and I, as director of this department, have re- ceived great pleasure in the task of aiding and assisting them to solve their individual problems. Since July 1, 1947, a monthly report of all services rendered to veterans has been submitted to the State Department and a summary from July 1 through De- cember 31, 1947, is included in this report.
As of January 1, 1947, the former agencies of Soldiers' Relief, State Aid, Military Aid and War Allowance have been combined into the new Veterans' Benefits Department, which gives monetary assistance to veterans and their families in accordance with state laws regulating and determining their eligibility. The State itself determines the amount to be given to the applicant and will reimburse the Town one-half of the sum approved. All cases are subject to state investigations.
