REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
1905]
This copy was procured by me at the State House, the other members denying that they ever received any such communication, notwithstanding a copy of this letter was mailed to the Board on July 26, 1904, from the State House.
This leaves the Town without an inspector of plumbing as required by Chapter 103 of the Revised Laws. At one time the Board voted to send in four or five names to the Board of Exam- iners. This vote is entered on the records of the Board of Health. Why it was not carried out may be explained by the other members.
It seems to me that if the gentlemen who made application for the privilege of taking the examinations were given the oppor- tunity they might have proved themselves eligible. This particular branch has proved very important and very expensive, and I believe that no discrimination should be made against any citizen of the Town, who is eligible to take the examination. I would recommend that the Town vote to instruct the Board of Health to appoint a plumbing inspector as required by the Public Statutes.
In accordance with the vote of the Town that all contracts made should be published in the Town report, I hereby submit. the bids received by the Board for the collection of house offal and ashes. The following are the first bids received by the Board :

[Feb. 28
The contract was awarded to French & Co. for five years and upon being notified to call and sign the same, presented a bill of extras for Higgins & Co. for $100.00. I refused to sign the bill as I did not consider it a just claim, consequently he withdrew his bid by the following communication to the Board :
177 STETSON AVENUE, SWAMPSCOTT. Board of Health :
GENTS,-You can throw up our bid for the swill and ashes. Yours,
FRENCH & Co. Per BUSHBY.
N. B. We do not care to proceed or do any business with your Board.
Signed, FRENCH & CO., Per BUSHBY.
This making it necessary for the Board to call for new bids. The following are the bids offered :

Report of Health Officer.
To the Board of Health, Swampscott, Mass :
GENTLEMEN,-In submitting my report to your Board, I am pleased to say that in the performance of my duties, I have been aided in a great measure by the willingness and desire of our citizens in general to conform to the rules and regulations of the Board in making sewer connections and in the installation of sanitary fixtures. This is borne out by the fact that some 250 sewer and upwards of 50 underdrain connections have been made. These figures, when compared with other towns similarly situ- ated, show conclusively that our citizens appreciate the benefits of sewerage. The same spirit manifests itself in generous com- pliance with the rules in districts outside of sewer lines, where the cesspool is as yet the only means to dispose of house drain- age. I feel confident that the coming spring and summer will largely increase the number of sewer entrances, with beneficent results.
In conclusion I beg to acknowledge your kindly co-operation in advancing this work and am especially indebted to your Chairman, Dr. Frank B. Stratton, for the frequent use of his team (gratis), in carrying it out.
I append a record of work done.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
1905]
REPORT OF THE Inspector of Animals and Provisions.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,-I herewith submit my annual report as Inspector of Animals and Provisions, for the year ending February 17, 1905.
The work of inspecting animals consisted of one general inspection in the fall in accordance with a general order sent out from the Bureau of Animal Industry, State House, Boston, to all cities and towns in the Commonwealth.
This inspection showed a diminution in the number of neat cattle, although all the animals appeared free from contagious disease and were otherwise in good condition.
The quality of meat, vegetables and fruit in the local stores has been good, as has also been that of the majority of peddlers, coming from out of town. Some of these, however, were found with poor goods on their teams and were immediately sent away.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK B. STRATTON.
