IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
AGENT'S REPORT.
In submitting my report for the year 1918, I would say that during the year I received thirty-eight complaints of existing nui- sances, each of which received my personal attention, and orders given for their abatement. These cases were followed up to see if my orders were complied with and I had no fault to find with the manner in which they were carried out, which goes to show that in all cases the parties are willing to abide by the rules of the Board.
Number of complaints received and investigated 38
Contagious disease cards posted 95
Dead animals buried or otherwise cared for 19
Dogs 3
Cats 11
Hens

Respectfully submitted,
AARON LORD, Agent.
REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR.
In submitting my report for the year 1918 I hardly know what to say, in fact there is not much to be said as regards the milk situation, for in my inspections and conversations with pro- ducers, I find them using every precaution to supply pure and wholesome milk, as they say it is their desire and interest, not only for themselves, but also to protect the health of the public, and I am satisfied from the manner in which their barns and utensils are kept, that cleanliness is their motto and is being well lived up to. So much for the milk situation.
As to the ice cream situation my observation after careful inspection of all places where the same is sold, is that they are in a clean and sanitary condition.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
DIVISION OF CHILD WELFARE-REPORS OF THE DIRECTOR.
The third annual report of the work of this division is here- with presented. As is now well known this work is carried on by Miss Martha J. Stewart, and consists of follow up work among in- fants and pre-natal work among expectant mothers, There is much of detail to this work, too much to incorporate in a report of this kind, so that the report will deal only with the salient facts, giving some figures for comparison which should make the deductions from these facts plain to the average reader.
Below are given the number of births for the preceding four years together with deaths of all infants under one year of age for the same period. The story which may be read from these figures is an interesting one as it shows a decided drop in infant mortality.

When one considers that the amount of sickness in 1918 was much greater than in the preceeding years it is significant that the infant mortality was kept down to the actual figures of a year ago, and the percentage of deaths materially lowered.
It has been shown during the past year that pre-natal work persisently followed out gives promise to become a factor of im- portance in lowering the infant mortality rate. Taking the work as a whole, in spite of adverse conditions, good progress has been made and it would be folly not to continue to go on. It has been tentitavely arranged with the State Department of Health to have a Health week here in March similar to the one held in 1916, at which time an instructor from the department will be here, and an interesting and instructive course will be given to which the public
116

will be invited. Full particulars of this Health week will be pub- lished soon.
The Baby Weighing and Measuring Campaign for the Gov- ernment given last June was in charge of this Division, and I wish most heartily to thank everybody who gave assistance to make the campaign a success. 709 children under school age were weighed and measured, the results tabulated in duplicate, one set of cards sent to Washington and the other set retained in our files here.
The work for the coming year will follow the general line already established, with such additions as the State Department of Health may suggest.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. MAC ARTHUR, Director. Ipswich, Feb. 15, 1919.

The department invested $10,000.00 in the Fourth Liberty Loan, and $2,000.00 in Note of Electric Light Department, No. 144, ot par. The Department also invested $9,750.00 plus $17.78 accrued interest, or $9,767.78, in the purchase of ten $1,000.00 Ipswich Water Bonds, which mature July 1, 1924. I believe that more of these Bonds can be purchased at about this price and would advise investing of the Sinking Fund in such Bonds.
