REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Hon. Board of Selectmen, Town of Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen: In compliance with your request, I submit the following report of the Department of Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31st, 1920.
I have tried most earnestly during the year just past to perform the duties of the office in an impartial and fair man- ner, and therefore be just to all parties concerned, I have found our merchants most courteous and willing to comply with the laws in relation to the sealing of weights, measures and in- spections.
The Department believes that it would be no more than fair and just to allow some consideration for the Woodsum Coal Company for the use of truck scales for the re-weigh- ing of coal from other concerns.

· As a direct result of this case, the pest house on the grounds of the Braintree Home has been placed in condi- tion for reception of any similar cases. This is required by the laws of the Commonwealth. It was because of the lack of such accommodations that the case was treated in the home. The Boston City Small Pox Hospital refused the case on these grounds.
At the present time, there are quite a few cases of scarlet fever. It is of a mild type and has undoubtedly been spread by cases not recognized as such or by children whose parents have not called in medical assistance. Parents should remem- ber that the rash in scarlet fever may be "out" only a few min -. utes and if this occurs at night it is likely to be overlooked. All children showing signs of peeling, and particularly those with a history of being indisposed two or three weeks previous- ly, should be looked upon with suspicion.
A little more co-operation in this respect will materially reduce the number of cases. Parents who do not call in a physician (in any contagious disease) are required by law to notify this board. They are also required to notify this board even if a physician is employed when for any reason the latter does not report it.
Those persons who have "mild" cases of infectious disease particularly scarlet fever, and break quarantine or otherwise expose healthy people should remember that a severe case may be contracted from a "mild" one. A little more of the spirit of the Golden Rule would have a wonderful effect in cutting down the number of these cases.

J. E. LUDDEN, Inspector of Plumbing. F. L. CHANDLER, Deputy Inspector.
Braintree, December 31st, 1920.
To the Board of Health of the Town of Braintree.
Gentlemen :- I have the honor of submitting to you my annual report of the inspection of meats, provisions and slaughtering for the year ending December 31st, 1920. The past year has not been quite so productive in the hog killing business, owing to the fact that the farmers raising hogs for the market were unable to procure grain at the high cost prices, and the scarcity of garbage. They were obliged to slaughter a greater number of small pigs than in previous year, which re- duced the number of matured hogs, but the quality produced were exceedingly good. I have inspected during the past year 851 animal carcasses and out of that number have stamped for approval 841, as follows : hogs 721, neat cattle, 20, small pigs 78, sheep 1, calves 21, and have condemned as unfit for con- sumption : hogs 3, neat cattle 4, pigs 3. The usual inspections of meat and fish peddlers and dealers have been made; four licenses have been granted for slaughtering. Collections, $203.80.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD O. PIERSON, Inspector of Meats, Provisions and Slaughtering
