ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth,
Gentlemen:
The Board of Health submit the following report:
The Board met March 11, 1929 the same members having been elected, the organization remained the same.
J. E. Ludden was appointed inspector of plumbing and George .. Marshall, deputy inspector.
M. L. Loud was appointed inspector of Milk and Dairies.
Katherine Pratt was appointed public health nurse and Jeremiah Donovan, care of public dumps.
The collection of garbage has relieved practically all the wayside dumping but we still have the unsightly dumping of tin cans, old mattresses, empty cartons, etc., along the roadside. This. past year, over one hundred such complaints have been investi- gated and fifty small and large dumps posted.
There were one hundred and forty-three complaints of sewer. age flowing over the ground. Most of these complaints were in March, April and May, when the frost is coming out of the ground, and what appears to be sewerage is mostly surface water mixed with a small amount of sewerage.
In the more thickly settled parts of the town it is impossible to take care of the sewerage by the old fashion cesspool. The" town is growing so rapidly that some system of sewerage dis- posal must be installed within the next few years.
The health of the community for the past year has been very good, only 241 cases of reportable diseases having been. reported as against 337 in 1928.
The diseases reported are as follows:
Chicken pox
13
Diphtheria

Dog bite
