BOARD OF HEALTH
We do hereby submit our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1917.
This year showed a large increase in the number of contagious diseases reported to the Board, there being a total of 328, com- pared with 164 in 1916. This increase was due mostly to epi- demics of chickenpox, german measles, and mumps. This does not necessarily mean that there was an increase in the number of cases in the town but that there were more reported this year.
Without doubt the work of the school nurses was one of the principal reasons as they reported a total of 79 cases, mostly of a mild form where the child was not ill enough to need the services of a physician.
The following is a classified list compared with 1916:

Spinal Meningitis Lobar Pneumonia
(not reportable)
1
There were twenty deaths during 1917 from communicable diseases, compared with thirteen for 1916. Lobar pneumonia caused seven deaths, ·tuberculosis twelve, and diphtheria one. Lobar pneumonia was added to the list of reportable diseases this year by the State Department of Health.
Owing to the unsanitary conditions of the properties on the easterly side of Baker's Lane, due mostly to the presence of
72
outside earth vaults, we have condemned the same; the owners were notified that their premises constituted a public nuisance and were a menace to health. We were unfortunate in regard to the cold weather which set in so early and has continued to date, whereby it was impossible to remedy the conditions; but this will be attended to as soon as the mild weather comes, or else the premises must be vacated.
In cooperation with the State Department of Health, the present quarters of the Police Department in the Town House were viewed and the same condemned as being unfit for the purpose for which they were used.
Many sewer connections were made this year under orders of the Board, and we expect that the few remaining will be con- nected as soon as the weather permits. In some cases it has been necessary to take up the matter through the town counsel.
Owing to the present conditions in regard to food supplies, we have waived, in many cases, the restrictions relating to the keeping of swine, etc., provided it is agreed to keep the premises in a sanitary condition.
Early in the fall we received a petition signed by many property owners and residents of Ballardvale regarding the Lyster Chem- ical Company. We viewed the premises, and called on the town counsel for advice. He informed us that it would be a very difficult matter for any local board of health to adjust in view of the many legal complications; he also stated that the most practical solution would be through civil suits instituted by the owners of the property involved.
Later a hearing was held in regard to the matter. Dr. Simpson of the State Board of Health was present and took the question under advisement, so that it is now resting with the State De- partment of Health.
The fumes of sulphureted hydrogen from the Beaver Chemical Company have been the cause of many complaints, and un- fortunately this also comes under the same ruling, that while it may constitute a nuisance, and be a damage to property, a local Board of Health would have to prove that it was an "actual or absolute danger to flesh and blood".
73
Owing to better service given by the Postoffice Department, whereby diphtheria cultures could be sent in any first-class pouch including "catcher pouches", we discontinued having our diagnosis cultures done by a Lawrence bacteriologist and feel that the results have been equally as good.
The appointments of the Board were: Mr. George A. Higgins to act as clerk in the matter of registration of births and deaths. Mr. Charles H. Newton was nominated Inspector of Slaughtering and this nomination was approved by the State Department of Health.
Miss Emily Sprague was appointed special agent for the Board to act in certain cases.

SPRING GROVE CEMETERY
John L. Smith died March 14, 1917.
Your trustees are again called upon to record the loss of another of their oldest and most valued members. Mr. John L. Smith was chosen by the town in 1893 as one of the Cemetery Trustees, and for twenty-four years has given freely of his experience and time toward the development of the cemetery. For many years he has served as chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his constant interest and faithful counsel has been of the greatest assistance to his associates on the Board.
At the annual meeting in March, an additional appropriation of $1500 was granted the trustees for the purpose of extending the cemetery lay-out on the east side of the Old Railroad Bed. This work was carried forward to the extent of the appropriation and has in large measure opened up a tract sufficient for the requirements of the town for several years. It will require, however, considerable work at surfacing and plotting this tract of land to make it immediately available for sale, and we there- fore ask for this purpose an appropriation of $1500, in addition to the regular appropriation of $1000 and the proceeds from the sale of lots and other receipts for work done in the cemetery.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
We are still following out the custom of planting a few trees each year in the districts where needed, but most of the work done by this department was in trimming up the shade tree in the residential part of the town and in the outlying districts, as in a great many places it was almost impossible for covered carriages to pass. We have tried to remedy this by removing some of the lower branches which all will agree has helped the situation, and as this work should be carried further along these lines, I ask that the sum of $250 be appropriated for this depart- ment.
Respectfully, J. H. PLAYDON Tree Warden
82
REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
In submitting my report of this Department, I desire to call your attention to the fact that owing to war conditions the cost of material as well as labor has greatly increased and we are obliged to ask the co-operation of every property owner to do his part in suppressing the moth pest.
The past two years have been very unsatisfactory for spraying owing to the wet season, and in some places the gypsy moth has increased while the browntail moth has entirely disappeared. The situation looks more hopeful and if weather conditions are favorable this spring, we should see a marked decrease next fall. Roadside cutting has been done on several of the roads in the outlying districts and in order that this work may be continued, I would ask that the sum of $3500 be appropriated for this department.
Respectfully,
J. H. PLAYDON Local Superintendent
