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 have had a large number of contagious diseases this year to contend with and have carefully watched them to the best of our ability. We have had 31 cases of diphtheria, 17 cases of scarlet fever and 2 cases of tuberculosis reported.
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 forever, 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.
The attention of the citizens and physicians is called to the following State Law which the Board desires, for the purpose of securing the widest knowledge of the existing law relating to the notification of contagious diseases, to call particular attention to Sections 49 and 50, of Chapter 75 of the Revised Laws, as amended by Chapter 251 of the Acts of the Legislature of 1905. The amended sections read as follows :
SECTION 49. A householder who knows that a person in his family_or house is sick of smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other infectious or contagious disease dangerous to the public health shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Board of Health of the city or town in which he dwells. Upon the death, recovery or removal of such person, the householder shall disin- fect to the satisfaction of the Board such rooms of his house and articles therein as, in the opinion of the Board have been exposed to infection or contagion. Should one or both eyes of an infant become inflamed, swollen and red, and show an unnatural discharge at any time within two weeks after its birth, it shall be the duty of the nurse, relative or other attendant having charge of such infant to report in writing within six hours thereafter, to the Board of Health of the city or town in which the parents of the infant reside, the fact that such inflammation, swelling and redness of the eyes and unnatural discharge exist. On receipt of such report, or of notice of the same symptoms given by a physician as provided by the following section, the Board of Health shall take such immediate action as it may deem neces- ary in order that blindness may be prevented. Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars.
SECT. 50. If a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease dangerous to the public health, or if one or both eyes of an infant whom or whose mother he is called to visit become inflamed, swollen and red, and show an unnatural

discharge within two weeks after the birth of such infant, he shall immediately give notice thereof in writing over his own signature to the Selectmen or Board of Health of the town; and if he refuses or neglects to give such notice, he shall forfeit not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars for each offence.

Report of the Water Commissioners.
The town's water system ought always to be a subject of fruitful discussion and should never fail to be of great general interest because its source of supply, quality, and plans for its enlargement and development are of primary importance to the health, convenience and safety of the community, in which all our people are vitally concerned.
As is well known the City of Lynn furnishes us with water under a contract originally made in 1878, and which has been renewed from time to time since, as occasion required. Saugus, is, therefore, very much interested in the Lynn water works, their establishment in the first place, their status at the present time, and their prospects for the future. This is especially true because of the fact that a part of the present source of supply is located in Saugus, and, for that reason, as well as for several others which are patent to out cirizens, we are more than per- functorily desirous that all our water used for domestic purposes shall be as pure and undefiled as is possible under the circum- stances. Hence any scheme of improvement of the Lynn water works is of the utmost concern to our town and its inhabitants.
The present source of supply consists of four storage reser- voirs which have been constructed on small brooks in the west- erly portion of Lynn and Saugus, known as Breed's, Birch, Walden and Hawkes' ponds; and the Saugus river, water from which is taken at a point in Montrose in the town of Lynnfield. Water from Breed's pond was first used for domestic purposes in 1871 and at about the time the contract with Saugus was made, in 1878, the dam was raised 3 feet; the construction of Birch pond, a large area of which is located in Saugus, was begun in 1873; Walden pond, one half of whose area is within

the confines of our town, was utilized in 1889; Hawkes' pond, a greater part of which is also in our territory, in 1896; in 1883 the so-called tunnel and canal from Howlet's pond on the Saugus river to Birch pond was inaugurated; and in 1897 a canal for the purpose of taking water from the Saugus river at Montrose about two miles above Howlett's pond was erected.
Competent civil engineers, as well as able chemists, give it as their opinion that the Saugus river below Howlett's pond is badly polluted by sewage, chiefly from the towns of Wakefield and Reading, but above Montrose, where the river is tapped, frequent analytical tests which have been made show the supply to be suitable for domestic purposes at certain periods of the year. Where the river flows for a long distance through great areas of swamps the water is found to be very highly colored from contact with organic matter, and the source of supply from the Saugus river from Montrose down the stream is of poor quality and unfit for domestic use, both on account of the quantity of organic matter and the high color, and on account of the evidence of sewage pollution.
William S. Johnson, an eminent civil engineer, who has only recently completed an exhaustive and able examination of the Lynn Water Works and its accessories, gives it as his opinion that the water flowing in the Saugus river is of such poor quality for so many reasons that it is not feasible to make good water of it, except by filtration or storage, although he says its quality can be much improved by the ditching of swamps, the prevention of the direct discharge of sewage into its tributary streams and by the sanitary control of the watershed. We are reliably informed by chemists that analytical tests have demon- strated precisely the same thing.
At certain seasons of the year the water of the Saugus river above Montrose is believed to be unfit for use and at such times it is not drawn upon. Thus we find ourselves in the following position regarding the Saugus river supply. Below Montrose under existing conditions the water of the stream is never good for domestic purposes. Above Montrose its quality is good at times and at such intervals it is utilized.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Chemists with whom we have talked about this matter give it a's their professional opinion that the waters of the Saugus river could be made available at all times, above as well as below Mont- rose, if some adequate system of storage could be adopted and maintained. Storage is the best known natural method of puri fication and if it could be adopted in connection with the Saugus river supply this would certainly seem to be worthy of very care- ful consideration with the several schemes now being discussed by the proper authorities who are arranging for the future development and enlargement of the Lynn supply.
Engineer Johnson says that there are two methods of filtra- tion which might be adopted : the first known as slow sand fil- tration, which consists in passing water through a bed of sand, and the second known as mechanical filtration, which requires the use of chemicals and sedimentation, after which the water is passed through small filters at a rate of approximately 125,000,- 000 gallons per acre per day and thence to consumers.
Lynn is now attempting to solve this important problem, important to herself as well as to Saugus, our town being to all intents and purposes an integral part of Lynn's water system, Saugus laying and maintaining the pipes in Saugus and Lynn collecting the rates and refunding us 50 per cent of the same. Whether Lynn, through its duly constituted authorities, ulti- mately decides upon storage, filtration, or going into the metro- politan water district, Saugus must needs go with her under present physical conditions, which are likely to remain as now unless the Town builds a water system of its own, which is not ' at all within the bounds of probability, as the existing mutually advantageous arrangement with Lynn will undoubtedly be con- tinued indefinitely.
What Saugus wants and must have is the purest water possible. If it is to be obtained by storage, let us have that; if by filtra- tion, so be it; if as a part of the metropolitan water system, all right. What our citizens desire above all things is pure water, / in sufficient quantities, and at a reasonable cost, let the source be where it may. If the present source is to be amplified and ex- panded for the needs of the future, let its vast watershed be

scrupulously guarded, its swamps drained, pollution kept from every avenue of supply, the bottoms of its ponds improved, and all other precautionary measures taken to give the present generation and others which are to follow the best possible water under the best possible conditions.
The Year's Operations.
The membership of our board up to the annual election in March 1907, consisted of G. Clarence Parcher, George W. Cas- well, and Horace H. Atherton. By the retirement of Mr. Cas- well and the election of Robert T. Allen, the new board was made ready for organization, which was effected on March 18th, by the choice of Dr. Parcher as chairman and Mr. Atherton as secretary.
Regular meetings for the transacation of business have been held on the first Monday of each month and more frequent sessions have been held when the public business seemed to warrant. No choice of a Superintendent was made until the special meeting of July 1, when Mr. George W. Caswell was chosen.
As in former years applications for an extension of the service have been greatly in excess of our ability to favorably respond, yet so far as our judgment and discretion permitted, we have endeavored to apply the appropriation to sections where it appeared to us the most merit and prospective money return were apparent. We have on file many applications upon which we shall be called upon to act when the pipe-laying season opens, which if favorably passed upon by us would involve a larger expenditure of money than your board feels justified in asking for the current municipal year.
The annual appropriation for our use during the year was $1,000 for the specific purpose of maintenance. Of this amount there has been expended for that purpose the sum of $500.34, the balance of $499.66 reverting to the Treasury. The loan of $5,000, authorized at a subsequent town meeting, as well as a balance of $19.71 from Dec. 31st, 1906, has been devoted to the extension of the service by an expenditure of $3,811.18, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,208.53 to be

carried forward for extension projects during the next municipal year.
The details of the expenditure of the maintenance appropria- tion and the loan of $5,000 will be found in the report of the Auditor.
For data covering localities where the service has been extended from time to time and repairs for maintenance made, you are respectfully referred to the report of the Superintendent, which is appended hereto and marked Exhibit A. Exhibit B. contains a list of the number of services in town; Exhibit C. gives a tabulated statement of pipes which have been laid in Saugus since 1887; and Exhibit D. is a copy of the existing contract between the City of Lynn and the Town of Saugus, the terms of which cannot fail to be of interest to every citizen of the Town.
The rebate from the City of Lynn under the contract aforesaid for the year 1907 was $6,842.83.
By reference to the Appraisers' Report of 1906 the value of your water plant is estimated to be $130,000, to which should be added the sum expended for extensions of service during the current year, thus reaching approximately $135,000, which we regard as one of the most valuable assets of the Town when considered in conjunction with our favorable contract for water with the City of Lynn.
The Town's liability on water loans is already set forth in the Treasurer's Report, to which reference can he had for details.
In accordance with the requirements of the Town By-Laws the Water Board appeared before the Finance Committee in January and urged their endorsement of our request for an appropriation of $3,000 for extensions of the service and $500 for maintenance.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE C. PARCHER, H. H. ATHERTON, ROBERT T. ALLEN,
