CHIEF OF POLICE REPORT.
Finance.
The total amount of fines paid during the year was $316.00, of which the Town received $303.50 ; various informers and com- plainants, $12.50.
I would recommend that the sum of $3,300.00 be appropriated for police service for the year of 1899.
I would also recommend that the sum of $200.00 be appro- priated for the purpose of purchasing a covered wagon for the use of the Police Department.
Conclusion.
In submitting my report I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, also George M. Amerige, Trial Justice, for the manner in which they have sustained me in the performance of my duties.
I also wish to express my appreciation to the officers, regular and special, for the efficient service rendered the past year.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES O. THOMPSON, Chief of Police.
Report of Board of Health
The Board of Health respectfully submits its annual report for the year 1898.
The Board was organized as follows: George W. Gale, M. D., Chairman ; William F. Belcher, Secretary ; Benjamin F. Robinson, Inspector.
Regular meetings of the Board are held in the Town Hall on the first Monday of each month at 8 o'clock P. M.
It is with great pleasure that we have to report that the health of the town for the year has been excellent, owing to the general carefulness and cleanliness of its citizens. We have had but two ,complaints, and when requested have been cheerfully and promptly abated. We thank all the citizens for their kindness in keeping their property in so clean a manner.
We have to record the following cases of contagious diseases reported during the year : Diphtheria, I; scarlet fever, I ; typhoid, 3, and no deaths.
A number of licenses have been granted by the State to main- tain boarding houses for infants.
All privies and vaults should be cleansed at least once a year.
We would again urge upon the citizens of the Town the great necessity for the better construction of cesspools and vaults. We have inspected many places on account of poor drainage and in many of them found the cesspools entirely inadequate, either from poor construction or insufficient size.
Complaints of various kinds were made to the Board, and all were investigated without delay, and where any nuisance was found to exist it was promptly ordered abated, and the order was complied with in every case.
We would call the attention of the citizens of the Town to Rule 22, with the additions recently adopted, of the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Health, as follows :
182
183
BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT.
RULE 22. No person shall build, or cause to be built, any privy, vaul, or cesspool, unless the same is constructed in a thorough and substantial manner, lined with stone, brick or other suitable material of sufficient thickness and strength to prevent the walls from falling in, and located so that the inside of the same shall be at least three feet distant from the line of any adjoining lot or street.
Every cesspool shall be of sufficient size to contain at least eighty cubic feet, measured below two feet beneath the surface of the ground, and, when not water tight, shall be at least twenty feet distant from any well, spring, or any other source of water supply used for culinary or domestic purposes. In no case shall the drainage from a privy, vault, cesspool or sink, or foul drainage from any domestic source, be permitted to enter any stream, brook, run or pond within the limits of the Town.
SECTION I. No person shall cause to be built any cesspool upon any premises owned or occupied by him or his tenants, without first having obtained consent from the Board of Health in regard to the location of the same.
SECT. 2. No cesspool shall hereafter be constructed within the limits of the Town, unless the same shall be provided with a suitable manhole ; the manhole to be level with or higher than the surface of the ground, and sufficiently large to admit the body of a man to pass through it for the purpose of cleaning the same.
SECT. 3 No owner or tenant of any building, of any desrip- tion, shall hereafter be allowed to connect any sink or water-closet with, or put any waste material or filth into, any old or unused well within the limits of the Town.
We would recommend that a sufficient sum of money be appropriated for the collection of ashes, swill and garbage, at least twice a week, as this will insure a generally improved sanitary condition in and around all premises.
GEORGE W. GALE, M. D., Chairman. WILLIAM F. BELCHER, Secretary. BENJAMIN F. ROBINSON, Inspector.
Report of Cattle and Milk Inspector
Owing to the fact that the Legislature did not make an appropriation for the Board of Cattle Commissioners the work of inspecting has been discontinued. The slaughter house inspection goes on as before. There has been about one animal killed each month, all of them being in good condition. There has been 33 milk licenses granted from May 1, 1898 to Jan. 1, 1899. I have tested about three hundred samples of milk, most of which I found to be good, the poor not being of such a quality as to warrant arrest. There is one matter I should like to bring before the milk dealers and that is the negligence in renewing their licenses. Please remember that it costs the Town money to have the inspector drive about to each individual owner, instead of allowing a fine to be imposed as is provided for by law.
Respectfully submitted,
A. W. SAWYER,
Saugus, Jan. 1, 1899.
Inspector.
