Report of the Inspector of Milk.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN, WAKEFIELD :
Mr. Symonds, collector of milk samples, has collected from wagons, stores and dairies, during the year ending Jan. 31, 1905, and delivered to me for analysis, one hun- dred and nineteen (119) samples of milk.
These samples were carefully tested by the approved methods for solids, and butter fat and adulterations.
The average percentage of total milk solids in the samples examined was found to be thirteen and seven hundredths per cent. (13.07 per cent.) and the average percentage of butter fat three and eighty-five hundredths per cent. (3.85 per cent.) I consider this to be a good showing, as the highest standard in operation during the year, the winter standard, requires 13 per cent. total solids-3.7 per cent. butter fat. Milk of the most exceptional quality does not greatly exceed the minimum legal standard, and it is but justice to say that the production and marketing of milk that will at all times meet the requirements of strict inspec- tion, calls for carefulness and honesty.
The most noticeable thing in the conduct of the inspec- tion is the increase in carefulness on the part of handlers of milk, their recognition of the proper object of the standard and their efforts to maintain it. There have been no prose- cutions during the year up to the writing of this report, but there is at this time a case pending which cannot be in- cluded in this report.
Forty-nine licenses to peddle milk have been issued dur- ing the year, and there are in force one hundred and twenty- seven registrations as " booths, stands and market-places."
I wish to commend Mr. Symonds, collector of samples, for efficient service.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSIAH S. BONNEY.

104 Report of the Inspector of Animals.
JANUARY 26th, 1905.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen : - I respectfully make the following report as inspector of animals, for the town of Wakefield, since April 1st, 1904.
Four cattle have been shipped into Wakefield from out of the State, which were tested for tuberculosis and found free from the same.
Three horses have been killed with contagious disease known as glanders, and the stables were thoroughly disin- fected.
I made the general fall inspection of all neat cattle, sheep and swine, and found same free from contagious diseaser, as far as could be determined by a physical examination.
Respectfully yours, A. S. CLARK, M. D. C.
