There has been added during the last year (to January I, 1909) 317 meters, bringing the total now metered to 1,209; of the remainder not metered, 78 are houses not occupied during the winter, and it is our intention to install meters in these prem

ises as soon as possible when opened in the spring, in most of the foregoing, as well as the other 68 houses which are single-fix- ture places, it will be necessary to place boxes in the street, and although this will of course entail more expense we are in hopes to finish the work in early spring.
In conclusion, it seems best and necessary that in view of the extraordinary needs of this department for the current year that we recommend that $1,500 be appropriated by the Town for meter work and $1,500 for new construction.

Report of Sewer Commissioners.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Board of Sewer Commissioners herewith present their annual report for the year ending January 31, 1909.
At the annual electiou held March 16, 1908, James T. Lyons was elected a member of the board, Henry B. Sprague, who had been a member of the board since 1902, declining to be a candidate for re-election.
The board organized with Aaron R. Bunting as Chairman. George T. Till was appointed Clerk, and Aaron R. Bunting, Superintendent.
At the beginning of the year it was found necessary in order to comply with the laws of the Commonwealth regarding the hours of labor and other important reasons to add to the force at the pumping station. Harry Connell was engaged, and the work at the pumping station has been very satisfactorily carried on.
Repairs on Iron Force Main.
Taking advantage of the unusually dry season, the Commis- sioners decided to examine and make needed repairs on the eighteen inch force main.
Proposals were received for repairs on Iron Force Main as follows :

About eight hundred feet was exposed and thoroughly repaired, the lead joints being reinforced by iron bands; the work was necessarily done by the day, M. McDonough doing . the excavating and pumping and concreting, the reinforcing and joint work being done by the employees of the Water Department. The expense of these repairs was $1,410.70, the pipe being submerged rendered the work difficult and expensive.
Stacey Brook Outlet.
Repairs and improvements at this point are deemed by the Board to be absolutely necessary and it is only by extreme good luck that certain portions of the Town has escaped serious damage.
This matter was referred at the Annual Town Meeting, to the Selectmen and Sewer Commissioners jointly. The State Board

TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Feb. I
of Metropolitan Park Commissioners were willing to construct and bear one-third of the expense providing the Town and City of Lynn would each bear one-third of the expense.
The officials of the City of Lynn when interviewed individ- ually seem interested and willing to have the work proceed, but officially no action has ever been taken.
Claremont Terrace Outlet Sewer.
The construction of this sewer has been delayed on account of the releases not being readily obtained from the estates benefited thereby until this year. The work of construction was adver- tised and bids called for. One bid only was received, from M. McDonough, which was for $1,004, and was rejected, the Commissioners believing that if the plans were changed and piling used instead of excavating and refill that work could be done for less cost.
Two estimates were received for the furnishing and driving of the necessary piles, the same figure being given in each case. The work was let out to M. McDonough for $172. The cast iron pipe was laid by the employees of the Water Department, the excavating, filling, grading, laying of tile pipe, etc., being done by employees of the Highway Department.
The construction of this improvement as completed, is $790.21, including engineering and inspection.
Elliott and Crescent Streets.
At a meeting held May 8, 1908, the following bids were re- ceived for building a sewer in Elliott and a portion of Crescent street : F. D. Mayo, $764.60 ; M. McDonough, $597.66.
The contract was awarded to M. McDonough the lowest bidder, complete cost, including engineering and inspection, $607.14.
The number of sewer connections for the year, 62. The number of drain connections, 10.

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, 1909.
The Board organized March 18, 1908, as follows : George C. Webster, Chairman ; Jasper H. Stone, Dr. Loring Grimes.
The Board voted to appoint John B. Cahoon, Clerk for the ensuing year.
The Board voted to appoint Charles Melvin to dispose of offal from fish markets for the sum of $6.00 per week.
The Board received but one bid for the disposal of night soil, that of George B. Curtis, for the sum of $100 per year. It was therefore voted to award him the contract.
There have been numerous complaints from overflowing cess- pools the past year. And several buildings have been found to be in unsanitary conditions; in such cases the owners were noti- fied and same were made sanitary.
During the year the Board received reports of twenty-two cases of contagious diseases as follows :
Diphtheria .

Scarlet Fever
·
3
Typhoid Fever
.

Tuberculosis

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
1908]
Early in the year, the Board decided to do the fumigating themselves, as the same had to be done to the satisfaction of the Board, the same meeting with the approval of the Board of Se- lectmen. The Board purchased a new generator for fumigating, whereby a great saving in both fuel and disinfectants was brought about.
During the year the Board decided it would be an advantage to the people to get quicker reports from diphtheria cultures. Therefore arrangements were made with Lynn City chemist whereby all cultures for diagnosis of diphtheria could be exam- ined and reported within twelve hours from time case was dis- covered, thereby getting reports at least twenty-four hours quicker than from State Board in Boston.
The Board has received several complaints relative to sewer- age conditions at High School building.
The Board recommends that some action be taken by the town at once so that it will be possible to enter the High School building into the sewer.
The Board recommends an appropriation of $4,500 for the ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE C. WEBSTER, JASPER H. STONE, LORING GRIMES, M. D.

REPORT OF STREET LIGHTS COMMITTEE.
1908]
Report of Street Lights Committee.
To the Citizens of the Town of Swampscott :
The condition of our lights appear about as usual. We have upon our circuits 118 arc lights and 75 incandescents, with a number of applications for the latter on file.
With the constant laying out of new streets or terraces inquiries are ever before your committee asking for lights; this is a reasonable request but citizens can readily see we are powerless to install but a very limited number owing to the present amount appropriated, $10,000, which amount will not cover the cost of our lights for the current year.
So far as the quality and permanency of our street lights is conerned we have little fault to find. Like all electric systems, ours is no exception to the general rule and a guarantee that our lamps will never fail to burn when the current is on, cannot be given through dark lamps or lights out for any great length of time, is an uncommon thing in Swampscott street lights.
A record of these non-burning lights is kept by the Chief of Police and reported to the chairman, and the station at Lynn is notified at once, and it is due to the Lynn Gas and Electric Com- pany to say that they are prompt to remedy these defects when- ever they, or the local inspector, are informed of the fact.
Your committee will recommend that the appropriation for this year be ten thousand five hundred dollars ($10,500).
Respectfully submitted,
E. A. FARNAM, J. R. MERRITT, M. L. QUINN, J. F. CATON, E. G. HODGKINS,

Report of the Inspector of Animals.
To the Citizens of Swampscott :
I herewith submit my annual report as Inspector of animals. The first of November, when I took the general inspection of cattle and stables, found in twenty-one stables sixty cattle, which were in good condition, and to all appearance free from any contagious diseases. I found five stables less than a year ago where neat cattle are kept and only about half in number, last year there were 119 in 26 stables.
Some gave the excuse that it is cheaper to buy milk than to raise it. I find that the majority of those who exchange stock buy from Brighton, which is the only safe course to my mind as all from that place have been through the tubercular test.
Last year Lynn and Swampscott were in trouble with glanders among the horses, the agent compelling the owners of stables to clean up thorouguly after the animals were destroyed and having public watering places closed for a short time, which gave some people a chance to grumble at the inconvenience, but thereby many have saved their horses.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL A. SPALDING, Inspector.

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR

Report of Overseers of the Poor.
SWAMPSCOTT, MASS., Feb. 10, 1909. To the Citizens of Swampscott :
The Board of Overseers of the Poor submit the following report :
At the beginning of the year the Board met with all members present. Mr. Crowell was elected Chairman, and Mr. Russell, Secretary of the Board. We have installed a new system for conducting the business of the department. Regular meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at our office and all members may be reached by telephone at any time. The Board has a fireproof safe in which all books and records are kept, also a complete list of all persons receiving aid. We would suggest that bills be sent to the Secretary no later than Wednesday of each week for approval and recording.
Trusting that the new arrangements as carried out by our Board in the past year will meet with the approval of our citi- zens, we thank all officials and citizens who in any way have assisted us.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH F. CROWELL, Chairman. EDMUND RUSSELL, JAMES H. MOULTON.

I have checked up and had in hand the securities of the Water Department, and find them as reported in the Report of the Water Commissioners. I have examined the accounts of the Phillips Medal School Fund and the Joanna Morse fund and find them as reported under their separate heads.
I have compared the Treasurer's account with the Collector of Taxes, and with all departments, and find them correct.
Respectfully submitted, C. G. ROWELL.
