The collection of garbage is now conducted by the Board of Overseers of the Poor, and all communications relative thereto, should be sent direct to that Board.
There has been for several years a continual nuisance on Bennett Street, from over-flowing cesspools. We recommend that a sewer be constructed in this street, and will accordingly put an article to this effect in the Town War- rant. Further extension of the sewer system is desirable in the Junction dis-

trict, and in the near future the question of sewers in Greenwood must be con- sidered. The Haywood Bros. Rattan factory, is not yet sewered, and still presents a serious health problem for the town.
Mr. Augustine Jenkins who had been a member of this Board since 1899, serving as secretary for the entire period, resigned in April, and his place is filled by Mr. W. S. Goodwin.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
Annual Report of the Inspector of Milk
To the Board of Health,
Town of Wakefield, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I herewith present for your consideration my report for the year 1922.
The inspections of the milk supply for the Town of Wakefield for the year 1922, have not differed in many respects from those conducted for the past few years. It has consisted of the collecting of samples of milk from the dealers and in the analysis of the same for the butter fats and the total solid contents; also in the inspection of the premises and conditions under which the milk was produced.
The results of these tests were in the majority of cases satisfactory as far as the standard of the milk was concerned, but had absolutely no influence upon the quality of the milk from the stand-point of cleanliness. To my mind the latter is the most important phase of the whole milk situation, but can be accomplished only through the means of a test for the bacteria contents.
Ninety-six (96) samples of milk and eighteen (18) samples of cream were analyzed this year. Six (6) samples of milk and three (3) of cream were found to be below standard. The dealers were warned, and in all cases the quality was immediately improved. Forty-four dealers and stores were licensed to sell milk, and nineteen (19) stores were licensed to sell oleo-margarine.
The total receipts of the department were thirty one dollars ($31.00).
Respectfully submitted,
CARL M. SMITH,
Inspector of Milk.
I28
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of the Overseers of the Poor
The Overseers of the Poor herewith respectfully submit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1922.
At the beginning of 1922, we had at the Town Home, 9 inmates, 3 of whom have died during the year, leaving 3 women and 3 men, some of whom are bed- ridden and require constant and careful attention.
The number of mothers making application for aid has increased. Those receiving temporary aid have decreased as it has been our good fortune to secure employment for some of both sexes.
In accordance with the vote of the Town at the March meeting to have the Poor Department collect the garbage, same to begin May 1st, 1922, as this was a new venture and necessitated quite an expense to purchase equipment, horses, wagons and other accessories also an addition to the barn to be used as a wagon shed and a cellar for the hog pens, the foundations for same having been built some years ago. We have purchased 37 brood sows and at present there are 44 brood sows, 3 boars and 26 pigs. The collection of garbage is larger than we anticipated, nevertheless having been in the business for 9 months and as was expected have had some complaints, both reasonable and unreasonable but on the whole we feel that most people are satisfied with the service that we have given. We found it quite a proposition to find and hold reliable help for the above work but with the experience of the past year, we hope to improve the service for this coming year. Receipts from the sale of pork this year have been $961.36.
Under the management of Supt. and Matron Mrs. Melvin Brown, the Farm has been successfully carried on and the inmates are all well cared for, and we feel the town is fortunate in having such assistants.
At the Farm on Saturday, March 18th, we experienced a bad roof fire on the main house which did considerable damage from fire, smoke and water and the amount of the damage, $2,319.00 was recovered from the fire underwriters.
The Board takes this opportunity to thank all who have helped in various ways. Many factories and stores have given employment at our request and the various churches, organizations and individuals have also given great assistance. To all we wish to express our sincere appreciation.
Signed, HUGH CONNELL, Chairman, WILLIAM C. STRONG, ADELAIDE W. BOYNTON, Secretary.

Report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary
To the Wakefield Board of Health:
The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith respectfully submitted.
The work of the Tuberculosis Dispensary has been carried on as in previous years, with Clinics Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 to 4.30 p. m., and Friday evenings from 8.30 to 9.30. From January 1st to December 31st, 1922, 80 examinations were made, and 40 patients were examined.
There were 16 new cases reported, and 8 deaths. Four of the new cases that were reported were found to be in the advanced stages of the disease, and not susceptible to much improvement at Sanatoria or from treatment elsewhere. The importance to the patient and to the community of an early diagnosis, and the institution of proper treatment can hardly be over estimated. Through the aid of the Board of Health Dispensary 4 cases were sent to Sanatoria. There are other cases in the community whose surroundings and home conditions are anything but favorable to tubercular patients, but it is impossible to con- vince them of that fact.
There are 54 resident cases on record, 17 which are active, 37 arrested. Twenty- one of the resident cases are under the supervision of the dispensary and the remaining 33 under the supervision of local physicians. Besides these there are 30 suspicious cases, and 8 cases in Sanatoria. Six tubercular patients left town during the year.
REPORT OF TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY
131
The Board of Health nurse assists at clinics Tuesday afternoons and Fri- day evenings, visits tubercular patients, investigates new cases, obtains records of cases, instructs those that remain at home on living methods and care of sputum, so that others may not become infected, and distributes sputum boxes.

Report of School Committee
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
It was hoped that the new High School building would be ready for occupancy by not later than January 1, 1923, but owing to conditions arising which held up the contractor, it will probably be March or April before the building is com- pleted.
The removal to the new school will greatly relieve conditions in the grammar grades, as it is the intention of the committee to bring the eighth grade pupils from the other buildings in town to the old High School.
REPAIRS
Electric lights have been installed in the Lincoln School, and it is the inten- tion of the committee ultimately to equip all school buildings with this sys- tem of lighting.
The exterior of the Prospect School was painted during the summer vacation and a new roof put on the building.
The two room portable building which had been in use for High School pur- poses was removed to Greenwood. This has relieved conditions for the present at that building, and enabled us to resume the regular sessions instead of the two session plan.
PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT
Four teachers have received credits for professional advancement during the year.
CHARLES H. HOWE MEMORIAL LIBRARY
We are pleased to note the progress being made by the High School Parent Teacher Association through a special committee to create a fund for the pur- chase of books for the High School Library.
We wish to acknowledge gratefully receipt of a valuable collection of books of the late Samuel K. Hamilton kindly given by Mrs. Hamilton. This is to be known as "The Samuel K. Hamilton Collection."
Also a valuable collection of manuscript music has been received from Mrs. George F. Wilson and her daughter, being the music collection of the late George F. Wilson, for many years music supervisor in the Wakefield schools.

Report of Superintendent
To the School Committee:
Ladies and Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1922.
The many duties which have fallen upon me in looking after details in con- nection with the building and equipment of the new High School have been a heavy drain upon my time and have detracted materially from the regular school work. The generous support of the teachers and principals has been of great help in making this year one of progress.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
After many years of waiting, a new High School building seems to be a reality. It is almost completed, and we expect to enter it sometime in the spring. I believe the Townspeople will be well satisfied with both the building and equip- ment in spite of some criticism which has been current. This criticism has been made by those, principally, who do not know exactly what we have, nor how expansive a plant it is. I think it may be well to defer a description of both building and contents until a later date.
I36
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
I hope that when the building is ready for occupancy, we may have open house some afternoon and evening when every one who may be interested may have a chance to go all over the building and inspect all parts, together with the equipment and apparatus.
