Report of the Inspector of Milk
TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH :
Gentlemen :- I herewith present my annual report as Inspector of Milk for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1910.
The number of samples collected and analyzed during the year have been one hundred and forty-eight.
The average of milk solids, less fat was . 9.16
Of butter fat
3.86
Total solids
13.02
With the standard at 12.15 I think the above average shows milk of a very satisfactory quality.
I have also visited several of the larger dairies and found the barns clean and well ventilated, and the milk produced under con- ditions that will admit of a very close inspection.
Twenty-five licenses have been issued during the year, also ten registrations.
Respectfully submitted,
H. A. SIMONDS, Inspector of Milk. Wakefield, Dec. 31st, 1910.

Report of Library Trustees
The Library Trustees respectfully present their report of the Library, the Reading Room and the Greenwood Branch for the year ending December 31, 1910.
Early last January all departments were closed for three weeks by order of the Board of Health on account of the epidemic of Small Pox and normal patronage was not regained until well into the Spring. Since June, however, the circulation has been larger each month than for the corresponding month in any previous year. There has been steady increase in the use of the non-fiction cards which were introduced early in the year. There have been over five hundred new applications to use the Library, which is over a hundred more than for any previous year. In fact the Library is each year serving more and more of the people and serving them not only with light literature but with books of ref- crence and serious study. Hampered as the Library is for room, this development along serious lines is especially gratifying.
In the purchase of new books each Trustee has been made responsible for some department of literature and by so doing it is hoped to develop the Library more systematically and evenly than has been possible in the past. Every patron is urged to assist the Trustees in this effort by kindly suggestion and criticism.
During the coming year it will be necessary to add another card catalogue cabinet and this will demand more or less rearrange- ment of the present waiting room. The Greenwood Branch and the Public Reading Room have both been well patronized and are in good condition.
The Board has with regret received and voted to accept the resignation as 'I'rustee of Mr. H. Lee M. Pike on account of his
229
removal from town. £ Mr. Pike has been a member of the Board for four years and has given generously of his time and thought to the development of the Library. It will be necessary for the town to elect a Trustee to serve out his term at the Spring election.
The Library has received various gifts of books and magazines during the year which have been gratefully accepted. A list of the same and statistics regarding the Library will be found in the Librarian's report following this report.
During the past twenty-five years nearly every Board of Trus- tees has emphasized the entire inadequacy of the Library accommo- dations. This fall the present Board recommended definite action to the town which would have made the erection of a Library building in the more or less near future a certainty. With the approval of some of our most influential citizens the Trustees secured the option on the Mansfield and Hickok properties on the northerly corner of Main and Avon streets with future option on the Hickok property at 3 Avon street. These properties were both in the market and the Trustees believe they were fortunate in obtaining reasonable figures thereon. From assurances they had received and from the universal interest in the project, the Trustees believe it would have been possible to raise a building fund by popular subscription provided the town bought the lot.
This proposition met with general favor at first and at the second session of the Fall Town Meeting, the town even voted to purchase the lot, which vote was reconsidered at the next session and the whole subject was finally indefinitely postponed.
The need of reasonable quarters is, however, better known and better realized than ever before and we believe the citizens will face and solve in the near future the problem of erecting a Library building worthy of the Town of Wakefield. Until such time, however, it is the duty of every citizen to co-operate with the Trustees in making the present cramped rooms attractive and use- ful to the greatest number of people.

Based upon these expenditures the Trustees recommend for the Libray the appropriation of a sum which, with the Dog Tax will amount to $1,950, a sum $50 in excess of last year due to the need of a card catalogue cabinet.
For the Reading Room the Trustees recommend the appropria- tion of $275.

The comparative table although showing a large increase in real estate values and a good increase in new buildings, is entirely off- set by increased appropriations.
As it requires between eight and nine thousand dollars to make a difference of one dollar on the rate, the $13,016.75 to be raised over that of last year caused a $20.50 levy as against $19.00 in 1909. We are carrying on the recommendations as fast as possi- ble of the committee of 31, and adopted by the town and shall continue to do so until values are adjusted as equitably and just as can be done.
We recommend a permanent clerk for this department outside of the board to keep up the ever-increasing demands of the State and general public as regards to cards, books and records.
Our maps have never been sub-divided in any form since they were made, and we recommend $500 be appropriated to begin the work by an engineer, that sum to go as far as possible, and more next year if necessary. This work should commence at once.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Water and Sewerage Board
OF THE
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1910
242
Annual Report of the Water and Sewerage Board
The eighth annual report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board is herewith presented, with the usual statistics of the water department, to which, this year are added those of the sewer de- partment.
WATER DEPARTMENT
We are able to report this year as having been one of the most financially successful, since the ownership of the plant by the town,
the total receipts being $38,853 38
total expenditures . 34,664 12
leaving a surplus of $4,189 26
These figures illustrate what a splendid asset the town has in its water plant. Every dollar of the cost, including maintenance, operation, construction, interest and the payments of the bonds have been taken care of, annually, by the income, and although there has been a liberal reduction ich year, in the water rates, there has still been an annual surplus to the credit of the plant.
The present value of the plant is $290,000 00 The bonded debt 207,0 0 00
Increased value
83,000 00
The water rate reductions total 69,000 00
Net gain $152,000 00
all, the result of seven years of town ownership.
We especially emphasize this, at the present time, because of the note of pessimism so often rung in town affairs and depart- ments ; and we believe that this report will help to inspire hope- fulness and optimism in the financial future of our beautiful town.
243
The board is confident that notwithstanding the reasonably necessary acquirements of property, and needed improvements to the system, the plant will continue to earn revenue to pay for it all; and with conservative management, not a dollar need ever be raised for it in the tax levy.
We have, this year, reduced the rates on bath tubs to two dol- lars per year and the rates on hydrants for the coming year, to fifteen dollars per year ; the original rates were five dollars for bath tubs and thirty-five dollars for hydrants, making in each case a reduction of about sixty per cent.
The construction work has been continued as in the past. The Bellevue Park extension, which required the laying of 3000 feet of pipe, has been completed and gives to that section the much- needed water supply. It was necessary, in this case, to make a formal taking of land in order to go under the track of the Bos- ton & Maine Railroad.
The six inch main on Main street, above Nahant street, has been replaced by a sixteen inch main, thus increasing the Main street supply and strengthening the weakest part of the system.
Altogether, there has been laid 8,500 feet of main pipe and 8,560 feet of service pipe. The cost of the main extensions have been brought to the low average of eighty cents per foot.
Upon the request of this board, the officials of the Boston & Maine Railroad have ordered that the toilet closets be locked on all trains passing by the lakes, thus giving protection to our water supply against pollution from this source. We have extended to the officials of the railroad, our appreciation of the promptness and courtesy which they have shown in remedying the dangerous conditions.
As an indication of the growth of the town and extension of the plant, it is interesting to note, that the water takers have in- creased from 1,632 in 1903 to 2,155 in 1910. The per capita of water pumped during the year is 62 gallons, quite a low average, and is sixty per cent less than the Boston average, and fifty per cent below the average of the Metropolitan District.
The question of filtration is receiving considerable attention from the board, and we shall, in a short time, bring the subject
244
before the town. It will resolve itself into perhaps three well recognized methods :
1. By a well supply, which is a modified filtration,
2. By mechanical filtration,
3. By slow sand filtration.
We have asked and received advice from the engineer of the State Board of Health, on this important subject, which we be- lieve will be of interest and value to the town. We are pleased that we are able to say, as the result of the regular examinations which have been made, that our water supply is considered good, and is much better than many supplies now freely used. The principal cause of complaint is of a vegetable growth, during cer- tain periods, which is common to all lakes and is not necessarily unhealthy.
In fact, we are reliably advised that most waters chemically fil- tered, or treated, are more liable to be injurious to health than is a natural lake water.
SEWER DEPARTMENT
This board took the management of the sewer department by the authority of the Act of the Legislature of 1910, and upon the acceptance of the act by vote of the town. The work was neces- sarily new and gave much additional work to the department.
Not being equipped for the work of the Chestnut Street sewer, it was let out by general contract. The work was well and promptly done and within the amount of the appropriation. On account of there being unknown quantities of rock, estimates va- ried materially as to the cost, but the estimates made by Captain George M. Tompson were found to be reliable, and the board is under obligations to him for his able assistance in making that work successful.
The town made an appropriation of $350.00 for the construc- tion of the sewer on Foundry street, from which there is an unex- pended balance of $177.00.
From the maintenance appropriation there is a balance of $79.53. We have received from sewer betterments $559 00 which has been paid over to the town treasurer.
The consolidation of the departments seems to have worked well.
