The number of nuisance complaints were few, fifteen having been acted upon.
Seven cesspools were located, four dogs and five cats buried ; and ten applications for boarding-houses for state children-in. . vestigated.
Regulations for the inspection and testing of plumbing work were made, and have been enforced. The result has been highly satisfactory.
The quality of the work done being so much improved as to far outweigh the additional cost to the town of having the inspec- tions made.
We wish to impress upon the town the absolute necessity of some sewerage system in the very immediate future, as there are in certain portions of the town nuisances that cannot be entirely abated under present conditions.
All surface drainage must inevitably be prohibited very soon,
136
and the cost to the citizens for the cleaning out of cesspools and vaults, which is already rapidly increasing, will be so much aug- mented as to nearly equal the increased taxation due to the cost of building a sewer.
Respectfully submitted,
C. F. GILMAN, C. L. SOPHER, M. D., W. H. McCAUISLAND, Board of Health.
