HOW MOTHERS CAN HELP PREVENT SPREAD OF CONTAGION IN SCHOOLS
Certainly it is true that children often contract contagious diseases at school. But the danger of con- tracting the more severe diseases, namely, diphtheria, smallpox, and scarlet fever is not great at the present time. This is due to the activities of health legislation, and of school authorities. Medical inspection by school physician, daily observation by school or the teacher, enforcement of quarantine in all cases of these dis- eases, and immunization of children who are suscepti- ble, have gone a long way toward controlling these diseases, and rendering our children relatively safe from them while in school. Mumps, whooping-cough, measles and colds are more apt to be contracted at school. They may be nearly eliminated if parents, family doctor, school and health authorities would all do their part in combating them. We arrive at this point, "Is it worth while to take all these precautions to prevent our children from contracting contagious diseases." Some may say that the children will have these diseases sooner or later, so why not have them while they are young. This is wrong because we are
238
informed that one of the large hospitals in the country handled over 1,000 cases of measles last year, and one out of every ten was fatal. Getting back to diphtheria, the medical profession tells us that this disease begins in September, gradually increases until the last of December, and then disappears as spring approaches. There may be a few scattered cases the remainder of the year. It is possible to rid the Town of disease as they are doing in about all other towns and cities by immunizing all children from 6 months to 6 years of age and by giving them toxin-antitoxin. What are we going to do for the children from 6 years to 12 years of age? In between and up to the age of 12 years they give what is known as the Schick test. We would advise all parents and guardians and others, responsible for the welfare of children, to protect them. Statistics show that of 100 unprotected children exposed, 10 will take the disease and one will die.

CHARLES B. CUMMINGS
Your Board takes this opportunity to mention the passing of Mr. Cummings who served on this Board eight years.
We recognize a personal loss of a friend and co- worker and a loss to the community at large of a faith- ful, conscientious official of the Town.
He was a constant attendant at Board meetings and his pleasant greetings and genial friendship will be sadly missed as we gather at Board meetings in the future.
GEORGE A. WALKER. THOMAS E. SEARS.

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners submit the Annual Report of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1930.
On pages following, one will find report of ex- penditures made by this department by votes of the Town under articles 6, 17 and 18.
The water at Great Pond, as last year, reached an extremely low level and we feel the laying of the pipe from Little Pond will prove its worth.
We are disappointed that the line is not in opera- tion at the time of writing this report, but feel certain by the time this report is in print that the line will be in operation.
We have caused to be inserted in the 1931 Town Warrant an article calling for the laying of a water main on Granite Street from Five Corners to the Quincy Line.
We understand this section of Granite Street is to be relocated by the State and that work is liable to start on it this spring or summer and if so then the time to lay the water main would be while the changes in the road were being made.
The estimated cost of this project is $20,000.00 and if conditions were such that it would have been necessary or advisable to have done this work in 1930 it would have left the Water Department without a sufficient surplus.
The demands for new services has decreased this year as noted in Superintendent's report.
Following are the reports of the Treasurer, Sec- retary, Registrar, Collector and Superintendent.
247
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO WATER TAKERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS
In accordance with the provisions of a recent Act of the Massachusetts Legislature, accepted by the Town of Braintree.
UNPAID WATER BILLS ARE A LIEN ON REAL ESTATE and payment of same can be enforced through sale of the property by the Tax Collector in the same manner as in the collection of taxes.
The practice of SHUTTING OFF the supply for NON-PAYMENT of DELINQUENT BILLS is NOT AFFECTED by the lien law in any way.
All water bills are "DELINQUENT" if not paid within TWENTY DAYS after they are rendered and become due.
CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
When buying or selling real estate it is important that ADJUSTMENT of WATER BILLS be made as of date of transfer in like manner as for taxes.
To assist in making such adjustments the Water Department Office will gladly furnish meter readings and other desired information upon application.
The names and addresses of new owners should be given PROMPTLY to the Water Office, in order that ensuing bills may be properly rendered and pos- sible unnecessary expense and annoyance avoided.
We desire to express our appreciation to those conveyancers who - without the incentive of a lien law - have previously provided for such adjustments
248
of water rates in the transfer of property and request a general similar co-operation in future transfers of property to the mutual advantage of all concerned.
H. W. MACOMBER, Water Registrar.
