We would still call the attention of all owners of real estate to the necessity of having their vaults and cesspools kept in a sani- tary condition and cleaned out once a year at least as required by law. Many vaults and cesspools are used until they run out upon the ground, thereby creating a nuisance for themselves and their neighbors. We would also urge the necessity of using an iron cover to all cesspools, the same being once done is done for ever, while a wooden top has to be renewed every six or seven years besides the liability of a horse or wagon breaking through it. We would also urge upon the citizens a more thorough collection of ashes and swill, it being no more work to them to put it in a proper receptacle and have it taken away than to throw it out in the yard to rot and breed mosquitoes and flies, to say nothing of the improved condition of their premises. We find that once a

household has the same removed they do not wish to go back to the old way.


We have had four cases of small-pox in Saugus during the year 1902, all of these were imported from other places. Two of these were sent to the Somerville Contagious Hospital for treatment, as the disease made its appearance soon after moving to this place, they having brought the germs of small-pox with them, and were legal residents of Somerville. One case was sent to Lynn Hos- pital, as she had been a former resident of Lynn and had contracted the disease while residing there, the other case was treated in Town. All of these cases have fully recovered.


The premises where these cases were found were quarantined and all the inmates and those residing in the immediate vicinity vaccinated. The premises were subject to a thorough fumigation.


Every precaution was taken by the Board of Health to prevent a spread of the disease, and we are pleased to state that not a single case was communicated from those four cases of small-pox to any other person.


Several suspected cases of small-pox have been reported to this Board during the past year, which, on investigation, have proved to be negative.


Contagious Diseases.


RULE I. When a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, or any other disease dangerous to public health he shall immediately give notice to the Board of Health.


RULE 2. When a householder knows that a person within his family is sick of cholera, small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, measles or membraneous croup, he shall immediately give notice to the Board of Health, and upon the death, recovery, or removal of such person, the rooms occupied, and the articles used by him, shall be disinfected by such householder in the ' manner hereinafter provided, and subject to the approval of, and under the direction of the Board of Health.


Cesspools, Privies and Vaults.


RULE 22. No person shall build, or cause to be built, any privy, vault 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 pre- vent 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 adjoin- ing lot or street. Every cesspool shall be of sufficient size to con- tain 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 from the outside of the cellar wall of any tene- ment or dwelling, and thirty 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, cess- pool or sink, or foul drainage from any domestic source, be per- mitted to enter any stream, brook, run or pond within the limits of the town.


RULE 23. All privies and vaults shall be cleaned at least once a year. Any privy or vault not cleaned within that time shall be declared a nuisance.

Trustees' Report.


The Trustees of the Free Public Library present their fifteenth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1902.


Aside from the facts contained in the Librarian's Report, there is but little to be recorded that has not been mentioned in previous reports. It is the earnest wish of your Trustees that the day is not far distant when more ample accommodations will be allotted by the town so that a good reading room may be provided for our citizens.


It was found necessary to build two new book stacks to accom- modate the increased number of volumes, consequently the space for the routine work of the library is further decreased.


The general work of the library remains substantially the same from year to year, and we have little to add to the record of its growth and use, more than our grateful appreciation of the devo- tion to its interests which has been so constantly manifested by the Librarian and her assistants who are justly entitled to our commendation, as well as that of the community whom they have so faithfully served.


Our grateful acknowledgments are due to the following per- sons from whom donations of books and pamphlets have been received during the year : Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, Deloraine P. Corey, of Malden, N. Mortimer Hawkes, of Lynn, John C. Houghton, George Faulkner, Marshall B. Faxon, "One who loves to give," James Pratt, Mrs. F. C. Cheever, Mrs. A. C. Cheever, Miss E. E. Newhall, Miss J. J. Nourse, Arthur B. Coates, a set of cosmos pictures.


Your Trustees have been unable to answer Mr. Carnegie's question, "Is a requisite site for a library building available ?" in


186


187

the affirmative. We are in hopes that some action will be taken by the Town towards securing a site for a building, or that some other action will be taken in the matter.


Your trustees recommend the same appropriation for the coming year as was made last year, viz., $600 and the dog tax.

Report of Tree Warden.


I herewith tender my report for 1902, reviewing the work done during the year.


In 1900 and 1901, most of the appropriation was used in trimming trees in the three villages.


In 1902, a large part of the money was expended in the out- lying districts, owing to the bad condition of the trees. The trees were trimmed on Walnut street from the Wakefield line to Birch Pond ; on Central street from Walnut street to the Parker estate ; on Main street from the Wakefield line to Broadway ; on Forest street ; on Broadway from Walnut street to the Malden line ; and on Essex street from Broadway to the Melrose line.


I have taken down five elm and three horse-chestnut trees.


Respectfully submitted,


A. ELWOOD DAVIS, Tree Warden.

Report of Inspector of Cattle and Milk.


Since January Ist, 1902, I have taken 325 samples of milk, finding none that had been watered.


I have inspected at the different slaughter houses 114 animals, none of which had tuberculosis.


I have quarantined three horses with glanders and they were disposed of by rendering.


In the fall of the year when the animal inspection takes place I inspected I,OII animals, all of them, in my opinion, being free from contagious diseases.


Respectfully submitted,


A. W. SAWYER.
