ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH FOR 1915.
The Board organized in March as follows:
Dr. F. A. Robinson, Chairman.
J. H. WHEELER, AGENT AND CLERK. Harry W. Swift, Third Member. George Benn, Inspector of Plumbing. J. J. Pearson, Deputy Inspector of Plumbing.
Dr. T. F. Conway, Inspector of Slaughtering.
Dr. T. F. Conway, Inspector of Milk.
Board of Health Office. Town House, Hours, 7 to 8 each evening.
Regular Meeting first Monday evening in each month.
Harry W. Swift tendered his resignation in May to go to Bridgewater, J J. Pearson, was elected to fill the vacancy at a joint meeting of the Selectmen, and the Board of Health. Mr. Orville Walker was appointed Deputy Inspector which was vacated by Mr. Pearson.
DR. T. F. CONWAY.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH cannot let this opportunity pass without adding a word to the tributes which have already appeared at the death of Dr. Conway. He has served our Board for about a year and we have always found him willing and ready to perform the duties of his office in a faithful and conscientious manner, and therefore we, the members of the Board of Health, wish to voice our appre- ciation of his services.
PUBLIC DUMPS.
There have been a great many complaints made to the Board of Health in regard to the dump on Spencer Street; it was burned twice during the past year, and owing to the depth of the rubbish deposited there, burned a number of
96
weeks before the fires was extinguished, was a menace to the public health owing to the smoke and foul odors arising from the burning rubbish.
In the opinion of the Board of Health, there should be one dump only, and the public be allowed to dump on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; that a man be stationed at the dump on the days mentioned and burn the rubbish as soon as it is deposited. Thereby eliminating the unsightliness of the dump from the street, the possibility of the dump catching afire and becoming a nuisance, and the danger of becoming a menace to the public health from decomposed vegetables and meat scraps deposited there; and disposing of the Rodents, which infect the dump in great numbers.
INSPECTION OF SLAUGHTERING AND INSPECTION OF MILK.
In the confusion following the sickness and death of Dr. Conway, the Inspector of Milk and Slaughtering, the data collected for his report was mislaid or destroyed, therefore the Board is compelled to omit a report on these subjects for 1915.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
The Board of Health believe there should be closer co-operation between the Physicians of Middleboro, and the Board of Health in the prevention of contagious disease. The State Department of Health asserts that a large per cent. of the contagious diseases could be prevented if they were reported promptly and a strict quarantine maintained thereafter.
The Board of Health assert that Physicians should report suspicious cases at once, instead of waiting a number of days before diagnosing the case and exposing the public in the meantime; the Board is often informed on the street that a case of contagious disease exists, before it is reported by the attending Physician.
The following list of contagious diseases were reported in 1915:

Potatoes, 208 bushels Onions, 14 bushels Beans, 7 bushels
Peas, 20 bushels Milk, 6,983 gallons
The total receipts from the Farm account, $2,644.18, which includes $489.90 received from boarders at the Farm, which is somewhat less than that of last year, owing almost entirely to a shortage of milk, which we do not think will occur this year, and would say that in 1914 we sold over $600.00 worth of cows and replaced with better stock, while in 1915 we sold less than one third of that amount, and now have a fine herd of twelve Holstein cows on the Farm.
The expense of carrying on the Farm has been $2,287.20, or about $270.00 less than last year, partially due to the extra expense of replacing with better stock the previous year, thus leaving a balance on the right side of $356.98, besides all the milk, eggs, fowl and vegetables used in the house during the year.
The expense of maintaining the house, exclusive of sal- aries, has been $2,497.96, which includes the buying of a new refrigerator at an expense of over $100.00, and is $37.87 less than that of last year.
The house and farm are under excellent management and we have been very fortunate in having no extensive repairs to be made on either house or stable. Have been obliged to keep some of our wagons and carts out of doors through the winter, but last summer built a large shed which now affords ample room for housing.
We have had during the past year an average of 12 4/5 inmates per week, which is the second largest since 1907, at that time averaging 13 per week, and 1914 when the aver- age was 1312 per week. Paid all bills as fast as they came in up to Jan. 1, 1916, had no balance on hand at the begin- ning of the year and closed the year with a balance on hand of $419.62.
In regard to our Outside Poor will say that calls for aid have been more numerous than ever before, having aided thirty-three persons more than during the previous year. The expense of aiding the Outside Poor has been $1,665.51 more than that of last year, of which we have recovered
107
$927.70 from other towns. The charitable societies and some of the lodges of the town, noticeably the "Elks" have done a good work and made many families happy by sending food, fuel and clothing and in some instances money, which we are sure has been appreciated.
In the early part of the year, much to our regret, Mr. Charles W. Kingman felt obliged on account of ill health to sever his connection with our Board, of which he had been a member for twelve years, and his many years of experience were of great value His place as Overseer has been taken by Mr. Allerton Thompson who has taken much interest in the work and is proving a good man for the place.
At the annual meeting in March the town voted an extra appropriation of $50.00 for experimental purposes in plant- ing at the Farm to determine, if possible, what seed and what kind of fertilizer would give the best results for that particular soil.
Will say we experimented with corn on different sections of the Farm, 12 acre in each place. Used two kinds of seed; the "Longfellow," some of our own raising and the "Stick- ney," which was sent to us by the Agent of the County Farm Bureau. Of the Hubbard Fertilizer we used 1,800 lbs. at $34.00 per ton and harvested 152 bushels of corn. Of the Buffalo- Fertilizer we used 1,900 lbs. at $28.00 per ton and harvested 129 bushels of corn.
The Hubbard produced 1 bu. of corn with 11 8/10 1bs. at .01 7/10 per lb.
The Buffalo produced 1 bu. of corn with 14 7/10 lbs. at .01 4/10 per lb.
We do not think there was much difference in the results obtained, the difference in the yield and in the price being taken into consideration. We think our own seed, the "Longfellow," being equally as good as the "Stickney."
Respectfully submitted,
EDWIN F. WITHAM, CHARLES M. THATCHER, ALLERTON THOMPSON.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT. From January 1, 1915, to January 1, 1916.
My work the past year has been spraying, trimming, removing and transplanting trees.
We have removed twenty-nine dead trees, killed from gas leaks and other causes. We have transplanted ninety- eight trees, and sprayed one hundred seventy-nine elms. Owing to the Elm Beetle Pest, I do not think there is any need of thorough spraying except in certain locations where the beetles are most prevalent.

Total expense to the Town of Middleboro, 1915 $1,329.98
In addition to the fires recorded the Forest Warden attended forty-two reported fires with not one cent of expense to the town and a large amount of the success of keeping down those forty-two fires was due to the fast travel of the automobile.
In addition to the large expense recorded to the town of Middleboro is the loss of time by teams by taking the men away from the work leaving the teams not properly manned, but as there is no way to get help only by taking the high- way men as it is for the town's interest to have the men at the fires at the shortest notice I see no way to separate the two classes of work. The Selectmen bought a fire truck and it was used for fire purposes and did the transportation of the men through the construction of the Plymouth street road, the truck practically paid for itself on this one job, so it stands today not owing the town one cent. We have today twelve fire extinguishers in the forest fire equipment, which alone saved the town many hundred dollars worth of valuable timber land in the past year. There should be at least twelve more extinguishers in the forest warden's department and at least six for each deputy warden which could be one of the best assets the town could have to pro- tect its large timber interests.
25th,
on land of George Sampson.
27th,
Darby Branch.
112
The forest warden would take this means for thanking the residents of the town of Middleboro for their co-opera- tion in the prevention of fires and hopes the same considera- tion may be continued in the year to come. I also thank all my deputies for their faithful care and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM H. CONNOR,
Forest Warden.

MOTH DEPARTMENT.
Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Moth Department's work during the past season has been conducted along business lines and in no instance has any reasonable request for work or relief from an existing moth nuisance failed to receive the proper attention.
Particular care has been taken to provide proper protec- tion from outside infestation to all properties where the owner has done moth work or where the coorporation of this department has been sought.
Our residential property and road sides are in better con- dition today than in the past and large areas of woodland have been thinned and made immune to further moth devas- tations through advice received from this department.
We shall continue as in the past year roadside thinnings where the conditions or character of the road will warrant the expenditure made; also the scope of work will be enlarged and extended to other infested property as the circum- stances may warrant.
No system of work can be devised whereby all may receive the required attention expected immediately upon request as the means to do with are limited both as to funds and apparatus, but by advising this department early and in season duplication of work in a section will not be necessary. and a good saving in time and money with better results. We invite and expect the confidence of the community.
Our attention has been called to the cranberry situation and after careful investigation about one-half of the bogs in town were found infested or the surroundings badly so and in immediate need of protection.
Upon application we will protect such bogs as are found infested through surrounding woodland not under control or owned by the bog owner, but all work in woodlands and on bogs held under the same ownership a liability of one- half of one per cent. on the total valuation can be assessed and collected.
114
In view of the large amount of extra spraying to be done the coming season and for the next few years, and to the fact that our present spraying equipment is not sufficient to handle the task we respectfully request that the town purchase three (3) four horse power sprayers for use in this Pepartment.
The State Foresters Department will reimburse the Town one-half the total cost on each sprayer, the cost price of which is $250 each and in addition will furnish all equipment and supplies, providing the Town will expend its liability as in the past.
Respectfully submitted, LINAM CHUTE,
Local Supt. of Moth Department.

REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK.
January 1, 1916.
The following is an abstract of the Town Clerk's records for the year 1915:
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING, MARCH 1, 1915.
The meeting was called to order by Moderator, Alvin C. Howes, at eight o'clock in the forenoon and the Warrant was read by the Town Clerk. The several articles of the Warrant were acted upon as follows :-
