REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
We submit herewith a summary of the work of the Board of Health for the year ending Dec. 31, 1917.
There were a number of changes in the personnel of the Board during the past year, Dr. Robinson resigned, and Dr. Baker was elected to fill the vacancy; J. H. Wheeler resigned, and Mr. C. W. Clark was elected to fill that vacancy ; J. H. Wheeler was appointed Agent of the Board, also Inspector of Milk and Inspector of Slaughtering.
Regular meetings of the Board were held the first Monday in each month and a number of special meet- ings were called when necessary.
RUBBISH
The collection and disposal of the rubbish has been very satisfactory since the removal of the dump to East Grove Street. The rubbish has been collected twice each month, and burned as fast as deposited upon the dump.
GARBAGE
The collection of garbage could be greatly improved with the co-operation of the citizens of the Fire Dis- trict. From inquiries made about and the inspection of the work of the collector, the Board is confident that the trouble is caused partly by the containers furnished by the housholders not being large enough to hold more than a day's waste and will not accommodate the garbage made between the collections.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
The Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank the parents of Middleboro, especially the mothers, for their hearty co-operation and interest in helping to
138
suppress the contagious diseases. A large number of cases of Whooping Cough, Chicken Pox and Measles are recorded where the parents have notified the Health Officer that their children had these diseases and they had not called a physician to attend them.
Eminent health officers and physicians now assert that it is much better to prevent the contagious dis- eases than to try and cure them later. They also claim - that 50 per cent. of such diseases can be prevented by prompt reporting by parents and physicians, and keep- ing a strict quarantine after reported until the patient has recovered.
The following tabulation from the records of the Board give the names and number of diseases recorded during the past twelve months :
Name of Disease
No. of Cases.
Lobar Pneumonia
1
Diphtheria
4
Mumps
9
German Measles
8
Chicken-pox
16
Tuberculosis
16
Whooping Cough
23
Scarlet Fever
23
Measles
68
Total number of cases 168
. In 1916 there were 260 cases of contagious diseases, and in the opinion of the board the large decrease was owing to the co-operation mentioned above.

INSPECTION OF MILK
To the Board of Health :
I respectfully submit my report as Inspector of. Milk and Slaughtering for the year ending Dec. 31, 1917:
The milk regulations of the Board of Health, in ac- cordance with Chapter 216, Acts 1907, require that all dairies shall be inspected before a permit is granted to sell milk, all dairies are scored according to the. dairy inspection score card of United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. The Middleboro regulations re- quire the dairy to score sixty points out of one hundred before a permit is granted.
Most of the dairies score above sixty on the first in- spection. In a number of cases two inspections were required, and in a very few instances three inspections were required before a permit was granted.
Middleboro is supplied with milk from fifty dairies within the town limits-two in Lakeville, one in Hali- fax, and one in Bridgewater.
During the past year there have been made seven- ty-five inspections; ten were inspected twice and five were inspected three times.
During the past year there were fifty-four permits and fifty-two licenses granted to dealers and producers in Middleboro.
Under Chapter 56, Section 40 of the revised laws, four dealers in Oleomargarine were registered.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. WHEELER,
Inspector of Slaughtering.

INSPECTION OF SLAUGHTERING
Am unable to state the number and kinds of animals slaughtered from Jan. 1 to March 31, 1917, the in- spector doing the inspecting during that period having mislaid his records and has not located them to date. There have been a large number of swine-killed in the outside districts where no records were taken, as the law permits any citizen to kill any creature on his own premises without an inspector being present, providing that the meat is used in his own family.
From April 1 to Dec. 31 the following-named animals were slaughtered :
Neat Cattle Veals
Swine
51
181 99
Total number slaughtered 331
One Beef Creature was condemned for general tu- berculosis; 1 Veal condemned for Immaturity.
There were two Licensed Butchers.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. WHEELER,
Inspector of Slaughtering.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
Total number of fires attended 28
Number of railroad fires 12
Property loss does not exceed $50
Number of fires falsely reported
16
Total amount of money expended for fires $127
The Forest Warden thanks the people of Middle- boro for their kind co-operaton in following the fire laws and hopes the same may be continued, as it makes a large difference to the taxpayers of Middleboro whether their forests are protected or not. I would recommend that the town purchase a truck fully equipped with extinguisher for twelve men. I would suggest that the Town of Lakeville pay a portion of the expense and also pay a mileage cost for mainten- ance when at work in Lakeville. I would further sug- gest that the Town pay their men for fighting fires 40c per hour, as the work many times is very hard on both men and clothes. In order for men to go into the woods and fight forest fires you must pay them in excess of their regular pay.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. CONNOR,
Forest Warden.
148
MOTH DEPARTMENT
Taking over the Moth Department at its busiest time when the spraying season was just on, made it some- what of a heavy task for a new man, together when the moths were more numerous than ever before, but with our State Forestry Division Supt., W. F. Holmes, to whom too much praise cannot be given for his knowledge of our forest and shade trees, together with his thorough knowledge of the Town and its need in this department, we came out last season very satis- factory, I am told by people who know. We are pre- pared the coming year to give a much better account of our department.
I wish to thank the townspeople as a whole for their hearty co-operation in the Moth, and also the White Pine Blister Rust work.
Respectfully submitted, J. J. FOWLER, Jr.
Local Supt. of Moth Department. -
