Report of the Library Trustees.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The addition of 375 books, including several books of reference, and 18 bound magazines makes the whole number of volumes in the Town Library, 10, 128.
The list of magazines is increased by " Suburban Life " and " The Delineator."
Seventy-nine books have been replaced, and 244 have been rebound. Five were destroyed on account of contagious diseases.
The circulation has been 28,748.
Books presented include a number of volumes from the War Department, of the " Official Records of the Union and Con- federate Armies," Engineering magazines from Mr. Jameson, and books from Mrs. Mary Johnson, Mrs. Russell and Mr. John Albree.
No income from the Morse fund has as yet come into the hands of the trustees for the purchase of books.
We have received at this date (Feb. 4), no money from the dog-tax, and yet we were required to have all bills in by Feb. I , therefore our embarrassment as to the amount of money we could draw upon for the uses of the library can be easily seen.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH J. HADLEY, FRANK E. INGALLS, FRANK F. STANLEY,
Trustees of the Public Library.

Report of the Water Commissioners.
To the Citizens of the Town of Swampscott :
The Water Board respectfully submit their ninth annual report. The year just closed has been one of considerable activity in this department and while the amount of new con- struction has not been large, still we have been able to lay about 3,000 feet of six-inch mains; 600 feet of which replaced cement- lined pipe in Beach Bluff avenue, the remainder was placed in streets where the building of new residences made it necessary.
Nearly double the number of service pipes were renewed last year as compared with the year 1905 and it is very apparent that during the next few years all of the old galvanized iron services will have to be taken up and longer lived pipes put in their places.
In accordance with the vote passed at the last annual town meeting your commissioners have purchased and installed meters in more than one-third of the dwellings of your town and while it is a noticeable fact that many water-takers have at once remedied leaks in fixtures, we take this opportunity to say that there is still much chance for improvement in this regard,and from now on we believe it to be the duty of every citizen to cause no reckless use of water as it is now less than two years to the expiration of our contract with the Metropolitan Water Board and it is to our advantage to reduce the amount of consumption to the minimum.
In the schedules which follow you will find itemized accounts of all meters bought, and prices paid ; all bills rendered by this

Report of Sewer Commissioners.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Sewer Commissioners herewith present their report for the year ending January, 1907. The Board organized with Aaron R. Bunting as Chairman. George T. Till was appointed Clerk, Aaron R. Bunting, Superintendent of Sewers.
During the year sewers have been constructed in the following named streets as authorized by the annual town meeting : Hardy road to Thomas road, a portion of Burrill and Essex streets ; Columbia street ; Essex avenue; across the land of the Boston & Northern R.R. Co., to Hillside avenue; Franklin avenue and portions of State road and Rockland street. After advertising in Boston and Lynn newspapers, the following bids were received for extension of sewers on streets as before mentioned.

culties to be overcome and was barely completed before cold weather. This portion of the Town proved to be most expen- sive for sewer construction, large quantities of water and quick- sand were encountered, requiring large amounts of concrete, together with timber foundations. The work was however, very satisfactorily completed and the surface of the streets left in good condition, the amount of money expended in the past year was large and the Sewer Commissioners are surprised at the small number of applications received up to this writing for connections.
The number of connections for the year in all portions of the Town is seventy-one, only fourteen of these being on the new construction.
Auxiliary Pumping Engine.
The installation of the auxiliary pumping engine at the station which was referred to at the last Town Meeting, is a valuable addition to the plant and is working to the satisfaction of the Commissioners and in excess of the builder's guarantee.
Hillside Avenue.
In regard to connecting houses on Hillside avenue which are within the limits of the City of Lynn, the Board has not as yet arrived at any definite arrangement but it is hoped that the matter may be in form to be acted upon at the annual Town Meeting. Meetings have been held with the officials of Lynn to that end.
Future Extensions.
The policy recommended and adopted last year of limiting construction to receipts should be adhered to. And as assess- ments in many instances now are paid in installments, we can- not expect to continue but a limited amount of construction each year.
The building of the sewer on Outlook Road which was asked for last year is recommended, also a short extension to complete the construction on Rockland street.
196
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Jan. 31
Recommendations.
The Board would recommend that the amount now due the Water Department for sewer flushing be included in this year's appropriation for Water Rates for public use, and that said appropriation for Water Rates annually shall include the amount charged to this department for water used for sewer flushing.
Owing to the extension of the system this department will require a somewhat larger appropriation for maintenance for the ensuing year, we recommend that $4,500 be appropriated for maintenance.

TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[ Jan. 31
We wish to call the attention of every citizen of this town that although in the last ten years the Town has purchased its water plant, and a good system of sewerage has been established at a large expense, and the State and County Tax increased $18,448.57, the tax rate has only increased $2.50 per thousand, and we feel that credit should be given the Board of Assessors, and the citizens should realize from the study of these figures that the work of the Board of Assessors has been increased nearly double, and the town should expect to expend more money for the Assessors' Department, especially for clerical work, than they did ten years ago.
Under the advice of the Town Counsel and our own opinion we think there should be a separate appropriation for this Board, and not have it included in the Selectmen appropriation, as has been the custom heretofore.
The Board recommend that the sum of fourteen hundred dollars ($1,400) be appropriated for the Assessors' Department for the coming year.
EDWARD A. MAXFIELD, Chairman, JOHN B. EARP, Secretary, GILBERT DELANO,
Board of Assessors.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
1907]
Report of the Board of Health.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Board of Health herewith presents for your consideration a report of their doings for the year ending January 31, 1907.
The Board organized March 27, 1906, as follows : Dr. Frank B. Stratton, Chairman; Jasper H. Stone, Michael Haley and William R. Patten, Clerk.
The Board voted to appoint Martin E. Nies, Plumbing Inspector for the Town of Swampscott, whose report is here- unto appended.
The Board received but one bid for the care and disposal of night soil that of George B. Courtis for $100.00 and owing to the satisfactory manner in which he had handled the contract in the past, he was again awarded the contract at the above men- tioned figure.
The number of complaints received from poor drainage and overflowing cesspools was less the past year than in previous years, probably due to the number of houses connected with the sewer.
During the year the Board received report of 40 cases of contagious diseases as follows :
Diphtheria
9
Scarlet Fever
11
Typhoid Fever
5
Measles .
13
Consumption

This is a decrease from last year and of the whole number of contagious diseases, there has been but six deaths.
Owing to the limited time allowed your Board under the new By-Laws in framing its annual report and feeling that a more comprehensive outline of our work should be laid before the citizens, we therefore will make a special report under separate cover, fully covering in detail the obstacles with which we were confronted the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK B. STRATTON, JASPER H. STONE, MICHAEL HALEY,
Board of Health.
WILLIAM R. PATTEN, Secretary.

Report of Health Officer.
To the Board of Health, Swampscott, Mass. :
GENTLEMEN,-I herewith submit my fourth annual report. It will be seen that the number of installations of plumbing approved is greater than the number of permits issued. This is owing to the fact that some of the permits issued late last year were not approved until early this year.

Report of Inspector of Animals.
To the Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN,-I herewith submit my annual report as Inspec- tor of Animals for the year ending February 5th, 1907.
In the inspecting of animals in the fall by order of Chief of Cattle Bureau, I found the number of cattle to consist of one hundred and nineteen (119) the larger part of which were in good condition ; of twenty-six stables, found two unfit to keep stock in; reported the same to the State Board ; since one has been closed and the stock reduced in the other with the prospect of being closed or put in proper condition in the spring. With horses, found one case of glanders and one of farcy, which were destroyed and stables cleaned and put in proper condition ; public watering places closed for a few days so no new cases developed ; also posted notices in Town as a caution to the public.
Have posted notices in the month of October also in January of the present year in regard to rabies among dogs. But as no cases have occurred and all dogs must soon be muzzled in Town, the public will feel relieved, the dog must take his chances.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL A. SPALDING, Inspector of Animals.
