Balance over all appropriations as given the Assesors, $8,068 90
The Assessors claim by this statement that the Town has had this year the benefit of $8,068.90 more than all the appropria- tions given to the Assessors.
The Board of Assessors wish to say that by statute law they are required to make the tax rate so that the amount of appro- priation for the year shall be raised and it is for the different departments to make their appropriations large enough to pay all the expenses for the year and the same must be met by taxation.

ASSESSORS' REPORT.
1908]
There is no question in any fair citizen's mind but what the Town of Swampscott has prospered in the last ten years.
We have attracted a great many citizens from other towns and cities of the state to come here and build fine residences and become good citizens of the Town.
What has brought these people here? The Board of Assess- ors come in touch with them very closely and we find that the reason they give is on account of our natural attractions, good water supply, sewer system, excellent schools, our good roads, our fire and police protection and especially the low tax rate, and we do think that although at the present time there are several bills before the legislature of Massachusetts, in regard to taxation, if they should become a law they would affect the receipts of the Town of Swampscott so that an increase in tax rate could not be avoided. We do, however, think that if the town would continue the financial policy of the last ten years of borrowing money for permanent improvements on a short term, the low rate of taxation would be continued and the valuation of the Town be increased in the next ten years as much as it has in the previous ten years.
The Board puts considerable stress on this subject because the announcements that have already been made that there must be an increase in tax rate has deterred some people from pur- chasing real estate in Town.
The Board of Assessors are satisfied that the citizens, after they carefully peruse the tables as shown in this report will see the great increase in the work of the department, compared with what it was ten years ago. The last year there was over 400 transfers of real estate and mortgages at the Registry of Deeds Office, and we think that there can be no question with any citizen that the Board should expend more for clerical work at the present time than has been previously expended.
We recommend an appropriation of $1,500 for the current year.
EDWARD A. MAXFIELD, Chairman, OSCAR G. POOR, GILBERT DELANO,
Board of Assessors.

Report of the Board of Health.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Board of Health herewith presents for your consideration their report for the year ending January 31, 1908.
The Board organized March 22, 1907, as follows : Dr. Frank B. Stratton, Chairman ; Jasper H. Stone, George C. Webster.
The Board voted to appoint William R. Patten Clerk for the ensuing year.
In place of appointing a man as caretaker of Fisherman's Beach, the Board voted to appoint Charles Melvin to dispose of offal from fish markets for the sum of $6 per week.
The Board received but one bid for the disposal of night soil, that of George B. Courtis, for the sum of $100 per year, it was therefore voted to award him the contract.
There has been a marked decrease in the number of com- plaints from overflowing cesspools the past year, probably due to the fact that so many buildings have been connected with the sewer.
The majority of complaints received were from districts that are as yet without sewer drainage.
During the year the Board received reports of 178 cases of contagious diseases as follows :
Diphtheria
IO
Scarlet Fever
.
II
Typhoid Fever
7
Tuberculosis
5
Cerebro Spinal Meningitis
I
Measles

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
1908]
The increase in the number of contagious diseases was due to the outbreak of measles among children.
The Board still feels that it is very inconsistent to compel private citizens to have their property connected with the sewer while at the same time the principal Town buildings are not con- nected and we would earnestly recommend that some provision be made to the end that all public buildings be connected with the public sewer.
The Board recommends an appropriation of $4,500 for the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK B. STRATTON, JASPER H. STONE, GEORGE C. WEBSTER.
Board of Health.
WILLIAM R. PATTEN, Secretary.

Report of Health Officer.
SWAMPSCOTT, February 10, 1908.
To the Board of Health, Swampscott, Mass. :
GENTLEMEN,-I herewith submit my fifth annual report for the year 1907-8. I would earnestly recommend that all public buildings on lines of Sewer be connected therewith. It seems inconsistent to order Sewer connections by the individual house owner when the Town itself neglects to do so. To cite an instance, the public fish house on the park. This building should not only have its drainage connected with the Sewer, but should be put in good, sanitary condition, water in each apart- ment, local ventilation, a public sanitary for both sexes, to accommodate the hundreds that gather there in the summer season. Our Commissioners would gladly do these things if the Town will provide the means. The necessity for prompt action is apparent when we make comparsion with public buildings in other Towns.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
1 908]
Report of the Inspector of Animals.
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Swampscott :
GENTLEMEN,-In my annual fall inspection I found only seventy-eight cattle and twenty-three swine which upon physical inspection were found free from any contagious disease. Three of the stables reported to the Cattle Bureau last season as filthy were vacated, while others had reduced their stock.
I found stables in cleaner condition, and in some, better ventila- tion. Improvements upon last year could be made with small expense and a little care, but you will always find people who advocate that animals thrive better with poor ventilation and unclean stables, but of course that theory is advanced only by those not using common sense. Watering troughs were closed in June and September for a few days as a precaution against the spread of glanders, as there were two cases in town, also one of tuberculosis ; the three animals were destroyed.
At the present time have one dog under quarantine, he having been bitten by a mad dog that was afterward killed in Lynn.

Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF COMBINATION COMMITTEE.
1908]
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON COMBI- NATION ENGINE HOUSE AND POLICE STATION.
To the Citizens of the Town of Swampscott :
Your committee appointed by the moderator at an adjourned Town meeting held June 25, 1907 to report to the Town esti- mated cost and plans of a Combination Engine House and Police Station at the annual Town meeting to be held in March, 1908, would submit the following :
We have investigated the matter very thoroughly; visited other towns and cities in the state, and had the help of a number of good architects who have given their time and experience in preparing plans and estimates which have been invaluable to your committee.
The plans have been for a three way engine house with floor space enough for the accommodation of two more pieces of apparatus than are at present in the Central House; also for a police station with offices, guard, cell, ambulance and stable room, everything in both to be up-to-date and suitable to accom- modate the Town for many years.
In view of the fact that it is absolutely necessary to procure quarters for the ambulance and that extensive repairs must be made on the Central Engine House in order to make it tenant- able for any length of time, necessitating the outlay of a con- siderable sum of money, at the same time leaving the Town in the same condition as at present with the proposition for a new Engine House and Police Station still to be built in the near future.
220
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Jan. 31
Your committee would recommend that a Combination Engine House and Police Station be erected.
That the sum of thirty-five thousand dollars be raised by time loans to build and equip the same.
That a committee of five be apppointed to carry out these recommendations.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIAS G. HODGKINS, Secretary, JOSEPH M. BASSETT, OSCAR G. POOR, ROBERT LESLIE, ULYSSES M. CORSON.
