SEWER DEPARTMENT
The sewers authorized at the last Annual Town Meeting in Walker road, Fuller avenue, Franklin avenue, Atlantic road and the continuation of the Eastern trunk line sewer have been completed, and details of con- struction follow.
The need of sewer extension this year is very urgent, both from a health and convenience standpoint, and we feel that the eastern end of the town has been neglected in this matter until it has become necessary not to delay the completion of the Eastern trunk line, and we believe it should be completed this year, with some laterals, to relieve bad and unhealthy conditions. We have caused to be inserted in the Town Warrant this year, for consideration, articles calling for sewers where we believe they should not be delayed any longer. We would RECOM- MEND that the unexpended balances on sewer work be transferred to the Emergency Sewer Fund.

Mapledale place drain has been completed and a nuisance of long standing has been abated. A section of King's Brook Culvert has been built as voted by the town, and it is very urgent that the section between the Boston & Maine railroad and Essex street should be built this year. This brook drain cares for practically all of the Northern section of the

Since the surfaces of the roads have been made hard, and low sections of land have been filled, a much greater flow of water is caused at times which is alleged, floods cellars, causing damages and for which the town may be liable, one suit having started already.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
The Board of Health
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The Board of Health herewith submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1928, together with those of its various officers:
The work of the department among school children has been con- tinued along the usual preventative lines. The improved physical con- dition of the children is concrete evidence of the value of such a pro- gram.
The pre-school clinic held this year, for the first time, was well patronized and many parents followed the advice of the examining physicians and had the defects, which the examination revealed, cor- rected before the child entered school.
The number of communicable diseases reported is somewhat less than those reported during 1927. We are sorry to say that there are still many parents who have not availed themselves of the opportunity which the Schick test and immunization offers them to protect their children against diptheria, a disease that can be prevented without dis- comfort or interference with their school attendance.
The town having taken favorable action upon our recommendation for the employment of a full time dentist and the inability of Drs. McNary and Widdoes to continue to serve because of the demands of their private practice, the appointment of a new dentist was necessary. Dr. Ellerd H. Westhaver was accordingly appointed and he took over the work on the first of May. The demands of Dr. Westhaver's private practice also made it necessary for him to tender his resignation to become effective December 31, 1928. Several applications for appoint- ment to the vacancy were received, and after careful consideration and investigation Dr. James J. Fenelon, a resident of this town during the past twenty years, was appointed for the balance of the school year. Placing the work on a full time basis has greatly increased the efficiency of the clinic as we are now able to conduct the work on a progressive program.
One of the most perplexing problems of this department is that of overflowing cesspools and the disposal of sewage on property now being developed in the various sections of the town not served by the public sewer. Conditions in some of these sections have been bad from the first and are rapidly growing worse as time goes on. The locating of cesspools where they will serve their purpose is utterly impossible on 75% of the property where such methods of disposal are necessary and in many cases it is only a matter of weeks before its contents are over- flowing. Overflowing cesspools are a menace to the health of every man, woman and child living in their vicinity. Under our present sys- tem of sewer construction it will be years before the situation will be remedied. To be sure, no epidemic has occured as the result of such conditions, but what guarantee have we that such a thing will not occur? An overflowing cesspool is a dangerous thing, no matter where it is located. We feel that the provision of a safe and adequate means of sewage disposal is one of a municipality's first duties. To recommend the construction of a sewer on a particular street where its need is evident, is superfluous, therefore WE RECOMMEND the con- struction of a public sewer, and the appropriation of money therefor, upon each of the streets designated in the report and recommendations of our Health Officer, hereto appended.
The poor drainage and other unsanitary conditions existing in and about the stable of the Highway Department should be abated and the privy vault now in use should be discontinued without further delay.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
1928]
As the contracts for the collection of ashes and garbage expire on December 31, 1928, it became necessary to advertise for new bids. New bids were received on November 23, 1928, and the contract for the col- lection of ashes was awarded to Herbert C. Brown, his bid being $7890 per year or $95 less than his present contract. Joseph G. Wilkish, 97 Holyoke street, West Lynn, was awarded the contract for the collection of garbage, his bid being $4975, or $525 per year less than the present contract.
For further information relative to the work of the department we refer you to the reports of our various officers.
Respectfully submitted,
LORING GRIMES, M. D., Chairman HAROLD H. BARTOL JOHN B. CAHOON
Board of Health.
Health Officer
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen :- I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1928:
None of the communicable diseases reported during the past year reached epidemic proportions. There was a substantial increase in the number of cases of diphtheria, which indicates that there are still many parents who have not taken advantage of the opportunities that have been offered them to immunize their children against the disease. Diph- theria is the greatest single cause of death of children between the ages of three and nine years, although this fact is not generally known. Last year there were two hundred and forty-nine deaths in Massachusetts alone. Statistics for this year are not available at this time. We should continue our Schick test and immunization program.
The elimination of the unsanitary condition that existed at the corner of Cherry and Essex streets has greatly improved conditions in that vicinity.
One of the most important functions of a community is to provide its citizens with an adequate system of sewage disposal. For several years after the adoption of our present sewer system, a yearly program of extension was carried out, but for some unknown reason it was dis- continued about a dozen years ago. Since that time the system has been extended only upon petition or the recommendations of this department. This method of procurring extensions has not always met with ready response. Each year the unsewered sections have become serious prob- lens to this department as well as the householder, and because of the growth of the section they have jeopardized the health and happiness of the residents thereof, particularly the children. The fact that the trend of development has reached the outlying sections of the town where the composition of the streets consist principally of ledge, thus increasing the expense of extension, is no legitimate reason why the health of those occupying the properties on these streets should be en- dangered or why they should be denied adequate means of disposing of there sewage through the medium of the public sewer.
Conditions in the section of Phillips Beach, east of the Boston and Maine R. R. and Ocean avenue, and throughout Beach Bluff have

reached a point where immediate relief is mandatory. The extension of the Eastern Intercepting Sewer, the past year, has been a step in the right direction, but it has not been large enough to assure the citizens any real relief for at least four or five years. This section of the town is in need of immediate relief, therefore I RECOMMEND that the ex- tension of the Eastern Intercepting Sewer be increased to an extent that will provide at least a portion of this end of the town with relief next year. I further recommend the construction of sewers in the following streets :
Arbutus road Aspen road-(unsewered section) Barnstable road Bay View drive Beverly road Bond street Bristol avenue
Kensington lane Lewis road Magnolia road Minerva street
Mountwood road
Prospect avenue Puritan road-(unsewered section)
Cedar road
Walker road-(unsewered section)
Eastman avenue Fairview avenue Fuller avenue
Tupelo road Virginia circle
The stable now used by the Highway Department is not only un- sanitary but its poor drainage, light and ventilation make it structually unfit for such use. Such conditions would not be tolerated were the stable owned and occupied by a private individual or corporation and as a matter of public policy they should be promptly remedied. The abatement of this situation has too long been delayed. Ample provision has been made for the housing of the motor equipment of the depart- ment and there is no legitimate reason why the horses of the depart- ment should not be given equal if not better accommodations. I RE- COMMEND the construction of a stable on land owned by the town on State road.
The out-door privy and vault now being used by the employees of the Highway Department is antiquated, unsanitary and in violation of the rules and regulations of this department and the town by-laws. I RECOMMEND the removal of said privy and vault and the installa- tion of proper sanitary accommodations and their connection with the public sewer.
The services rendered by the contractors for the collection of ashes and garbage has been as satisfactory as could be expected of work of this character. The present contracts for this work expire on Decem- ber 31, 1928.
Promiscuous dumping by private individuals have made it difficult to keep the dumps in a clean and sightly condition. If those using the dumps would see that the material is deposited at the rear of the dump it would greatly improve their appearance and would make it easier for the man in charge to level and care for the material. It should be borne in mind that the property in which the dumps are located is private not public property and our continuing to use the same depends upon the manner in which the dumps are maintained.
I do not believe there is a citizen or other person who had occasion to go to any of the beaches, under the supervision of this department, during the past summer who will not agree with me when I say that never in the history of the town were the beaches so clean. The system of cleaning as inaugurated by the board was highly commended by those using the beaches. The system resulted in a considerable saving to the town as well as making possible the daily patrol and cleaning of each beach.
The appointment of a full time dentist has been a valuable asset in our efforts to improve and protect the health of our school children. Good teeth are essential and play an important part in the physical welfare of the child. A summary of this important work will be found in the report of the dentist.
