The public were dumping so near the Standard Oil tanks that it was not safe to have one there. The public concluded they would use the old road and tore down the fence, even to the pull- ing up of the posts. We have been obliged to clean up our dump around the Standard Oil tanks for our own safety, in order to use the dump. The Company then notified the Board through its agent that they would furnish wire for a fence, and see if it could not stay put. The railroad became interested and furnished sleepers for posts and we have done the work.

Swill.
As I said in my report last year that we might have to do as other towns have done to get our swill removed, and on the first of October we found ourselves without a swill team. As the result a part of our Town went into convulsions, but it is slowly recovering and further improvements are anticipated. It was not generally confined to the poor classes, but it was the man to whom a silver dollar looks larger than a cart wheel. I was inter- viewed-a small boy came to see me. He wanted to know what I had to say about that order. He said he had taken the matter up and was going to show the Board up. I asked him who he was and he said he was a reporter, and I could not smuggle the press. He wanted my face to put in the paper of which he was a reporter, and with it an explanation of the notice.
I did not do it. In a few days my innocent little notice which I had put in the local papers appeared in the Boston Journal, put in three-cornered, embellished with the faces of five or six women whose faces I never saw before and whose names I could not pronounce.
Milk.
Our milk has been inspected several times during the year, and none has been found below the standard. I said in my last year's report that other improvements in the care and cleanliness of the milk would be made which has been done, and done by the State. It is not so much the milk men who peddle the milk, but the ones from whom they buy. The matter is to be followed up pretty sharply this year. The old idea that the more manure you get on a cow to keep her warm, the less grain had to be fed, is a thing of the past, but I regret to say, that some farmers still hold to that old time idea. And if they want a pattern to go by, take a car ride up to the well kept barns of Sidney T. Nelson, and see how much easier it is to have a clean place. It is impossible at the present time to give a correct list of the licensed milk dealers in Town.
Spitting.
There has been no improvement during the past year, and instead we have been going the other way. Our signs have been torn down and people do not realize today the importance of the work. "Tuberculosis" is a sign that should be in every one's mind when he attempts to spit upon the sidewalk, yet, people will stand on our street corners and instead of using the gutters
50
will turn around and spit on the sidewalk. It is one of the worst habits that falls to the lot of man to have. I once, when a boy, went to stay all night with another boy, and when we got into bed he spit on his hands to pull up the bed-clothes. I am reminded of this when I see people spitting on the sidewalk.
Inspection of Dressed Beef.
The work of the year just passed : I have examined 622 hogs, 47 beeves ; condemned 6 animals and revoked 1 license.
Contagious Diseases.
We have had 15 cases of contagious diseases : 1 case of diph- theria, 2 cases of typhoid fever, 4 cases of tuberculosis, 8 cases of scarlet fever.
There has been but one school closed, and that closed itself as the pupils would not come. There has been some talk about and fault-finding with the wells at the different schools -the water was not fit to drink.
I have had the water analyzed twice. The one at Nemasket. has been pronounced by the State Assayer that the analysis was complete, and it was a living spring with an inlet and outlet, but- with some odor but no taste. As a result of this odor, the teacher and scholars refuse to drink it.
Hens.
The keeping of hens in this village has become a first-class nuisance. You set out a few shrubs on your lawn, and perhaps a flower bed, and if room, a little garden, only to have your neighbor's hen sure to have everything scratched up before morning.
The Board will soon be obliged to pass an order that no hens shall be kept within the limits of this village except on the premises that they own and occupy, and no hen pen shall be within ten feet of the street.
Plumbing.
There has been during the past year sixteen applications and inspection of plumbing, beside necessary repairing of old plumb- ing.

In closing my report for the year, I would say on the subject of swill, that in the opinion of the Board, the time has come when the Town should collect the swill, and run a piggery at their farm, and that more attention should be given by the Town to the care and cleanliness of the village.

The Committee to investigate the Highway and Sewer Depart- ments reported, and the report was accepted. The Report was as follows :
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Middleboro :
Your committee appointed at the last town meeting to investi- gate the affairs and condition of the Highway and Sewer depart- ment's during the past five years respectfully report their findings as follows :
We have personally examined the accounts for the year 1906, spending three half days thereon, and have had the accounts for the years 1903, 1904 and 1905 examined under our supervision, the labor of one person having been required for nearly two weeks There are apparently no accounts for the year 1902. Between our findings and the accounts furnished to the town at the annual meetings there is only a fractional variance. The system employed seems to be as follows :
All bills other than those for labor are first approved by the Superintendent and then an order therefor is drawn by the Selectmen. In some cases there are no vouchers on file, presum- ably due to the negligence of the creditor in not sending the voucher to the Superintendent upon receiving the check ; but the payments in such cases are always authorized by the Selectmen's order.
In the case of labor on the streets and sewers no pay-roll has been used previously to January 1, 1907, a pay-roll system having been adopted since that date. The practice has been to use small time-books about the size of the ordinary flat wallet. The names of the men appear upon the margin of the left-hand open page.
59
To the right on the same page is a record of the hours in which they have been employed. The amount paid appears on the right-hand open page, and on the margin of that page is a place for the acknowledgement of receipt of the money.
In many cases marks of those unable to write appear, but none of these marks are witnessed. In a very few cases there is neither signature nor mark. The practice seems to be for the Superintendent to present these time-books each week to the Selectmen and for the Selectmen to draw an order for the gross amount upon the town Treasurer, who pays the amount to the Superintendent and the Superintendent then pays the men.
It is the belief of your committee that this practice has been of very long standing previously to January 1st, 1907.
The present indebtedness of the Sewer Department is as follows :
Overdraft construction of Mayflower Ave-
nue sewer
$293.10
Cost of sewer Court End Avenue
$423.28
Deduct two catch basins belonging to Street Department
50.00
373.28
Total debt Sewer Department,
$666.38
The $293.10 is mostly due for labor, and the $373.28 has been borrowed from the Street Department.
Your committee advertised a public hearing in the Town'Hall on Thursday, April 3rd, at 2.15 p. m., but no one appeared. We have expended in the discharge of our duties the sum of thirty- one dollars and fifty cents.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE FOX TUCKER. JAMES A. THOMAS. GEORGE F. BRYANT.
The Committee on Pearl Street reported that the work could be done for about $300.
It Was Voted : That the Sewer on Pearl Street should be extended towards Center Street a distance not to exceed 550 feet.
The Committee on re-valuation reported : That the Committee had held several meetings and had made considerable investiga- tion. It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Committee that a full and complete re-valuation of the property in the town should be made and to that end the Committee
60
recommend that four Assistant Assessors be chosen and that the moderator appoint a committee of three to retire and nominate and bring in the names of four suitable persons for the positions.
The Report was accepted and the Moderator appointed A. M. Bearse, C. H. Leonard and C. E. Weston as the Committee. On the return of the Committee they reported the nomination of Edgar D. Work, Samuel N. Shivirick, Walter A. Shaw and Gil- bert H. Simmons as Assistant Assessors. By viva voce vote the above-named persons were chosen as Assistant Assessors.
Voted : - That the number, location and hours of service of all street lights, shall be under the direction of the Selectmen from July 1, 1907.
Voted : To appropriate $750 additional for Town Officers.
Voted : To raise $84,326.01 and such other sums as may be necessry to pay the State and County Taxes upon the polls and estates, assess, commit and collect the same in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws.
Voted : To pay the Moderator $15 for his services.
