The Board therefore asks for an appropriation in addition to its usual and regular allowance of $4,000 to pay this expense for the years 1916 and 1917 and further sum of $2,000 due the Jordan Hospital under its contract for the current year.
There is due the Jordan Hospital also the sum of $1,446.20 for the care of patients during preceeding years, the bill for which, despite repeated requests on the part of the Board, has only been recently received. This sum being found just and due, an appropriation is asked therefor.
The Board of Health in view of the conditions above stated and others over which it had no control, asks for the following appropriations.
For the sum of $5,446.12 for the Jordan Hospital for past due indebtedness. The sum of $711.16 to cover unpaid bills for 1917; and in addition thereto, asks for an appropriation for general purposes of $8,500 and $2,000 additional for the Jordan Hospital to carry out the terms of its contract, making a total appropriation of $16,657.28.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE H. JACKSON, FREEMAN MANTER, HARRY R. TALBOT,

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Honorable Board of Health :
I respectfully submit my report as Inspector of Milk for the year ending. December thirty-one, nineteen hundred and seven- teen.
During the past year the work of dairy inspection has gone on as in 1916. I have made 193 visits to dairies. Ninety-seven have been inspected once, fifty-nine twice, thirty, three times, and seven four times. Twelve new permits have been granted, and one refused. We have under inspection one hundred and twelve dairies, of which ninety are selling milk in Plymouth at the present time.
Under the Public Statutes, Acts of 1909, Chapter 443, there have been granted forty-seven Dealers' Licenses, of which seven- teen are to stores and markets, and thirty to producers. As provided by the Board of Health regulations, eleven restaurants and hotels have been licensed to sell milk. Twelve dealers have been registered as selling oleomargarine.
There has been marked improvement in equipment and man- agement of dairies. Milk producers have shown desire, in near- ly every instance, to co-operate with us in every way.
Several circulars have been sent to dealers and producers suggesting means of improving the product, and personal talks have been given when needed.
During the year, there has been established a milk laboratory at the Town House. The equipment is not yet complete, but a good foundation has been made, and Plymouth has a laboratory that will compare favorably with any in Massachusetts, outside the large cities.
-200 --
During July, August and September, a bacteriologic survey was made of the milk from all dairies then producing for Plym- outh, eighty-eight in number. Samples were examined micro- scopically and plated for bacteria, with the results tabulated below.
Bacteria per cubic centimeter
No. of Samples 5
Less than 10,000
10,000 to 50,000 31

200,000 to 300,000

300,000 to 500,000 1

More than 1,000,000
5
Results negative, 1
These samples were taken under the conditions most favor- able to the producer, and do not represent the usual conditions at the moment of delivery.
From this survey we may draw the following conclusions : First, that, considering the past history of milk inspection in Plymouth, the grade of milk produced is, as a whole, good.
Second, that conditions are far from ideal. Milk taken as this was should contain not more than 10,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, and a number greater than this indicates faulty methods of milking or handling. Generally speaking a high bacterial count means dirty milking, dirty utensils, or failure to cool the milk and keep it cool. As these samples were by special suggestion kept cooled until called for, a large bacterial count has only one interpretation.
The chemical survey showed that, out of eighty-eight samples tested, ten samples, or eleven and three-tenths per cent. were below the Massachusetts legal standard for fat, and these cases have been dealt with according to statute.
We believe that the next step toward insuring clean milk for Plymouth is a Board of Health regulation setting a bacterial
500,000 to 1,000,000
-201-
limit for milk sold in this Town. Such a regulation, followed up by frequent tests, will act as a stimulus to the careless pro- ducer, and if necessary, eliminate him.
To complete the equipment of the laboratory and provide for its maintenance during the year, I recommend an appropriation of one hundred fifty dollars.
Respectfully submitted, WALTON E. BRIGGS,
Milk Inspector.

The need of a slaughtering house is still very apparent and at the present time, we are without any satisfactory place to slaughter.
It seems as though some way should be found to build one in a central location and 'have all slaughtering done at that place.

Inspector of Slaughtering.

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The construction work carried out by the Water Department for the year 1917 has been as follows :
A 10" low service main 825' long was laid on Main and Mar- ket Streets from North Street to Summer Street. On North Street there was laid 957' of 6" pipe and on Water Street be- tween North and Sandwich, 1,235' of 6" to replace old four inch and two inch pipe.
"There was also 784' of 6" pipe laid on a new street west from Standish Avenue, laid out by the Plymouth Cordage Company.
The total cost of the above new work, including cost of changing services was $7,197.39.
During the summer it became necessary to replace the old flue at the pumping station with a new one. After obtaining prices from several companies for a new flue the contract was given to the lowest bidder, the Daniel Russell Boiler Works.
The total cost of the new flue erected was $511.23, including the cost of our labor helping the contractor on the flue erection
Mr. Barnabus Hedge has laid out a new street at Prince Street, the plan of which has been approved by the Selectmen as a Board of Survey. The Commissioners understand that several houses have been erected on this street and we there- fore recommend an appropriation of $1,500 for laying a 6" pipe on this street.
ยท The new pipe laid on the new street of the Plymouth Cordage Company will probably require to be extended about 450' this year at an estimated cost of $600.
-219-
We recommend for the ensuing year an appropriation of $17,500 for maintenance and $2,100 for construction, making a total of $19,600.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN W. CHURCHILL, ROBERT C. HARLOW, JOHN H. DAMON, EUGENE DORR, WILLIAM R. MORTON,
