REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
At the middle of this year the vacancy on this Board, oc- casioned by the death of Dr. James Wilde, was filled by the Selectmen and remaining members of the Board, by the elec- tion of Mr. Ichabod Sampson.
At our first meeting this year we considered the applications for an undertaker's license and granted such a license to three persons.
Last May the members of the Board visited and inspected the Standard Fertilizer Works and found the work of manu- facturing the fertilizer ended for the season, and the product of the work for the season then just closed, either shipped or ready for immediate shipment.
In September our attention was called to a basin of stagnant water, a part of the pond in Mill Brook District. We found that evaporation had brought the level of the water below the entrance to the outlet under the road, and that the water was partially covered with a scum of decaying vegetable matter. By opening the connection between the basin and the pond the level was raised and the water changed, and on account of this and the cool weather following there was no further trouble. If a small quantity of water be allowed to enter this from the pond either continually or at intervals we think there need be no repetition of this unhealthful condition.
During the year the health of the Town, so far as regards contagious diseases, has been excellent, a few cases of measles being the only instances of such diseases.
Respectfully submitted by the Board of Health for 1887-8.

ANNUAL REPORT
-OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
-OF THE-
TOWN OF DUXBURY
.- FOR-
1887-88.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The Committee respectfully submit the following report for the year 1887-8.
Last Fall, in the death of Dr. James Wilde, the schools lost a sincere friend, and one whose loss they, in common with his large circle of professional and social acquaintances, mourn with true sorrow. He had lived in Duxbury for half a century, and was thoroughly in sympathy with everything that concerned the welfare of her citizens. That his interest in educational matters was appreciated is shown by the fact that he was selected by his fellow townsmen to serve on the Board of School Committee for ten years. He had won and he repaid that appreciation by his faithful interest in the physical well being and mental progress of the children. He had also been a member of the Board of Trustees of Partridge Academy for twenty-three years.
