REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEATH.
The Board herewith respectfully submits its Annual Report for the Year ending March 15, 1883.
GENERAL HEALTH.
The health of the Town the past year has been fully up to the average, no contagious diseases having occurred, with but one exception. In January last diphtheria of a very virulent type broke out in the family of Elnathan Delano ; four of his six children were sick with said disease, and three of them died, notwithstanding all precautions were taken to prevent its com- munication from one to another. Some of the children having attended the Mill-Brook School the day before being taken down with said disease, the Board deemed it necessary to close said school for ten days, in the meanwhile having the building thoroughly cleansed and fumigated. It should be stated here, in justice to Mr. L'elano, that in the opinion of the Board there was nothing about his premises that could have caused the disease, the drainage and water supply being unusually good. We are of the opinion that some means should be taken to supply the above mentioned school with pure water, and have so recommended to the School Committee, who propose to do so at once.
THE STANDARD FERTILIZER COMPANY.
Since our last report the same parties, most of them being summer visitors, who filed a complaint with this Board in August, 1881, against the Standard Fertilizer Company, without waiting for the report or action of this Board, which was then
50
busy in considering the matter, addressed another petition to the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, which latter Board gave them hearings on May 5th and 16th, 1882, at the State House, Boston. On January 2, 1883, the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, without making any suggestions, or even communication to our Board, and without even giving us notice of the hearing above mentioned, made the following order, as appears in its printed report for the current year :
"To Standard Fertilizer Company, a body corporate, located in the Town of Duxbury, in the County of Plymouth, in said Commonwealth, its officers, agents and attorneys :
You are hereby notified, that at a meeting of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, held at Boston, in said Com- monwealth, on the second day of January, in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-three, on the application of Stephen M. Allen, Thomas Gridley, and six others, and after a hearing thereon given you and all persons presenting evidence concern- ing the matter, It was adjudged and determined by said Board that the public health and public comfort and convenience require you, said Standard Fertilizer Company, your officers, agents and attorneys, to desist and cease from further carrying on the trade and business of manufacturing fish and other animal matter into fertilizing substances on the premises here- tofore and now used and occupied by you for carrying on said trade and business in said Town of Duxbury, and the following order was adopted by said Board.
Ordered, That Standard Fertilizer Company, a body cor- porate, located in Duxbury, in the County of Plymouth and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, its officers, agents and attor- neys, on and after the first day of May, in the year one thou- sand eight hundred and eighty-three, desist and cease from further carrying on the trade and business of manufacturing
51
fish and other animal matter into fertilizing substances on the premises in said Town of Duxbury, heretofore and now used and occupied by it for carrying on said trade and business.
Now, therefore, you are hereby directed to comply with the requirements of the said order, under penalty of what may follow any violation thereof.
Dated at Boston, this second day of January, in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-three.
By order of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity.
F. B. SANBORN, SECRETARY."
During the whole time since the complaint was first made to us by the parties mentioned, our Board has frequently visited the Works, and the business carried on there has been done with great care under our supervision. The past summer close buildings have been constructed to receive and store the fish, and all the fish, (or chum) which has been received or kept by this Company, has, according to our order of 1881, been put into these close buildings in the original tight packages. The buildings used by the Company have been kept in as cleanly a condition as possible, and well whitewashed.
The Company has willingly complied with every suggestion which has been made by our Board, and since the hearing before us in August, 1881, the Works have in no manner inter- fered with the public comfort or convenience, and have not been offensive. In the opinion of this Board, the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, have no jurisdiction over the Works of the Standard Fertilizer Company. Our Board has, according to law, assigned to that Company its premises as a proper place for the exercise of its employment, and the business was not established in the Town until a favorable expression of nearly all of the voters was first had at a Town Meeting called for the purpose ; and the permission of the Selectmen was obtained.
52
There is a move now being made in the Legislature of the State, instigated as we understand by the State Board, to the end that parties may appeal from local Boards of Health to the State Board, but such is not now the law of the Commonwealth, and until it is so made we believe that where the local Board has taken action, the State Board has no legal right to interfere. Acting under this belief, and with a feeling that the State Board is not fully informed as to the location and business carried on, and the supervision and direction under which the Company has conducted its employment, our Board has resolved that the action of the State Board is an unwarranted and unlawful interference with its duties, rights and powers, and have therefore addressed the following letter to the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, which was delivered to its Secre- tary, February 19th, 1883 :
TO THE HONORABLE THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, LUNACY AND CHARITY, BOSTON, MASS.
The undersigned, the Board of Health of the Town of Duxbury, respectfully represent, that their attention has been called to your order, dated at Boston, January 2, 1883, and directed to the Standard Fertilizer Company, of said Town, notifying said Company on and after the first day of May, 1883, to cease and desist from further carrying on the trade and business of manufacturing fish and other animal matter into fertilizing substances on the premises in said Town of Duxbury, heretofore and now used and occupied by it for carrying on said trade and business.
That the said Standard Fertilizer Company, before occupying and using the buildings and premises in said Duxbury, where its trade and business was carried on at the time of the issuing of said order, first obtained the written consent and permission of the Selectmen of the said Town therefor, and the Board of Health of said Town had also assigned the premises occupied and used by said Company as a proper place for the exercise of said trade and employment, and never has revoked said assignment.
That the said Town Board of Health has heretofore exercised and is now exercising proper and constant supervision over, and direction of the trade and employment carried on by said
53
Company upon said premises, and said Company has always conformed to and obeyed the orders of said Town Board of Health, relating to the proper manner in which said trade and employment should be conducted, so as not to be detrimental to the public health, comfort or convenience.
That said Town Board of Health have adjudged and deter- mined that neither at the time of the making of said order, previous, nor since, has the public health, or the public comfort or convenience, required that said Company should cease and and desist from carrying on said trade and employment.
That the said Town Board of Health has by law the exclusive original control and direction of the trade and employment there carried on, and the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity has no legal right or power to direct, order or interfere in the premises, and, that said order of said January 2, 1883, is an unlawful interference with the said exclusive rights, powers, duties and jurisdiction of the Town Board of Health ; now, therefore, the said Town Board of Health respectfully requests that your Honorable Board shall immediately revoke and annul said order, and cease from further interference with this Board in its powers and duties so exclusively conferred by law upon it.

DUXBURY, Mass., February 10, 1883.
Up to the time of the printing of this Report, no answer has been made to our communication.
We expressed in our Report for 1882 that we thought the business of the Standard Fertilizer Company could be carried on without inconvenience to the public. Experience since that Report has proved to us that we were right in our opinion.

SCHOOL REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF DUXBURY :
In accordance with law and custom, the School Committee present their annual report :
With two exceptions, nothing has occurred to interfere with the usual routine of duty on the part of both teachers and pupils. In District No. 5, from a failure on the part of the contractor to furnish desks and seats in due season, the opening of the school was delayed, and for some time after there was a literal pur- suit of knowldge under difficulties, thus diminishing the comfort of the scholars and adding to the perplexities of the teacher.
In District No. 7, the school was closed for two weeks, by order of the Board of Health, on account of the appearance of diphtheria in the neighborhood ; but, by the prompt and energetic action of the Board, such measures were taken as happily prevented the spread of the disease.
In most of the districts, . the Committee find no especial reason for remark, but in Nos. 3 and 6 they are happy to note a marked improvement in scholarship and deportment.
The same apparent lack of interest on the part of parents continues, and the Committee are sorry to note a disposition, on the part of some, to judge a teacher from the reports of the pupils, rather than from personal investigation,
55
While the Committee have no wish to employ an incompetent teacher, they are satisfied that, if children were obliged to attend school with regularity, to treat their teacher with respect and courtesy, and were encouraged at home in regard to their studies and lessons, complaints would be few and far between.
After a careful consideration of the matter, the Committee are satisfied that the union of two or three of the small schools in the westerly part of the Town, would not only benefit the pupils, but also diminish the expenses of the schools.
As some misunderstanding seems to exist, in regard to the rights of the Committee in connection with the High School, a copy of the vote passed at the last meeting of the Trustees of the Partridge Academy is subjoined :
Voted :- That, since the arrangement between the Town of Dux- bury, through their School Committee, and the Trustees of Partridge Academy, to the effect that the Academy shall become the High School of the Town, it has been, and is, the unanimous wish of the Trustees that the Committee shall be placed on equal ground with the Trustees, in all matters relating to the educational interests of the school.
Attest :
H. E. SMITH, Clerk Board of Trustees."
The Committee find the school-houses to be in good repair, with the probability of needing little expenditure for some years.
The High School, under a new administration, seems likely to retain its former rank, and the rela- tions between the Trustees and the Committee are entirely cordial and satisfactory.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
