TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The past year has shown no excessive fluctuation in the incidence of infectious diseases. The occurance of a number of cases of typhoid fever has been investigated by the Board in cooperation with the State Department of Health. It is hoped that the action taken has served to eliminate the source of the infection. No new case has appeared since September.
In preparing the budget for the ensuing year it has been necessary to ask for a substantial increase in appropriation, on account of an in- crease in the charge for individuals cared for in state institutions. It now costs $16.30 per week whereas formerly it cost $4.00.
The care of cases of acute infectious disease involves great expense. To this Board it does not appear just to pay the hospital expenses of some citizens and not those of others. The hospitaliation of all cases of dangerous infectious diseases does not on the whole appear desirable. It is recommended both on the grounds of economy and in the interest of the individual that, wherever feasible, arrangements be made for the care of such cases in the home.
The present arrangement for the care of dumps established in cer- tain parts of the town appears to be working well. There has been nota- ble improvement in the appearance of such locations, effected through the efforts not only of those having the care of the dumps but also of the general public.
With the increase in the population of the town, further protection of Crystal Lake by purchase of land and the sewering of adjacent pro- perty appears desirable.
Acknowledgement is made to Edward J. Fitzpatrick for his courtesy in permitting a sewer to be carried across his premises and thereby aid- ing in the solution of a difficult sewerage problem.
The offices which have been occupied during the past year have not only been convenient but their location in the Town Hall with the other town boards has proved in many ways advantageous.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Annual Report of Inspector of Milk
To the Board of Health, Town of Wakefield, Mass. .
Gentlemen ;- The following is my report of the inspection of the milk supply of the Town of Wakefield for the year 1924.
This years inspection of the local milk supply has varied very little from that of former years. It has consisted of the collection of samples of milk from the local dealers and producers and in the analysis of the same for the butter fat and total solid contents, also in the licensing of all dealers and stores in the town.
In some cases it has been found necessary to inspect the premises and conditions under which the milk has been produced. If unsanitary conditions have been found suggestions have been offered whereby they could be remedied.
The results of my analysis of the local milk has been very satisfac- tory this year as far as its food value was concerned. In regards to its cleanliness I have only been able to judge this from its general appear- ance and conditions under which it has been produced.
Forty-eight dealers and stores were licensed to sell milk this year and fifteen stores were licensed to sell oleo-margarine.
The total receipts were thirty-one dollars and fifty cents, ($31.50.)
Respectfully submitted
CARL M. SMITH,
Inspector of Milk.

REPORT OF TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY
Report of Tuberculosis Dispensary
To the Wakefield Board of Health :
The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith res- pectfully submitted.
Clinics were held at the Board of Health Dispensary every Tuesday between the hours of 3.30 and 4.30 P. M., and every Friday between the hours of 8 and 9 P. M. During the year 129 examinations were made and 60 patients were examined.
The Tubercular Clinic has had a greater increase in attendance this year than in any previous year, and we feel sure that this phase of the work has assisted the patients in their efforts and desires to arrest the progress of the disease.
Through the aid of the Board of Health Dispensary seven patients suffering from tuberculosis were sent to different sanatoriums. Three patients were sent to North Reading, one to Westfield, one to Lakeville, two to Tewkesbury. One suspicious case, a child eleven years old was sent to the Farrington Memorial Camp for a two months rest.
Homes of all these patients were visited, and advice and instruc- tion given to all members of the family to prevent them from contracting the disease if possible. Sputum boxes were given out in all cases where they were needed.
During the year fourteen new cases of Tuberculosis were reported and seven deaths.
Several cases reported during the year were found to be in the ad- vanced stages of the disease, and were not susceptible to much improve- ment at sanatoriums or other treatment. The importance to the patient and to the community of an early diagnosis and the right treatment be- ing instituted can hardly be overestimated.
There are seventy-five resident cases on record. Forty-five arrest- ed and thirty active cases.

Report of the Department of Public Welfare
1
The Department of Public Welfare respectfully submits their an- nual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1924.
We have had at the home during the year 12 inmates,-10 women and 2 men-some of the women are invalids and require constant care. A heavy demand has been made on the department for temporary aid due largely to sickness and unemployment.
Quite a quantity of milk and vegetables have been distributed from the farm to aid needy families.
A new pig house 128 feet long containing 30 pens, also a new corn crib in which is stored 530 bushels of corn raised on the farm and in ad- dition to the slaughter house have been added to the buildings.
Under the efficient management of Supt. Melvin W. Brown and Mat- ron Mrs. Brown the board feels that we will continue to improve and add a substantial amount to the town's finances.
The board feel greatly indebted to all who have assisted us in any way-many factories and stores-also Town Departments have rendered ready assistance when called upon.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Regular Meetings of School Committee Second and fourth Fridays of each month at 8 p.m., at Committee Rooms.
Report of School Committee
The time is at hand when the rating of a town or city may justly be based upon its provision for education. It is too often argued that the town, in the interests of economy, cannot afford to meet the heavy expenses of education.
Education is the great interest of the American people. Money spent judiciously for school purposes is the best possible investment. These schools are the product of intense local interest in education; of a liberal community sentiment that iilliteracy has no place among a pro- gressive intelligent people. In the State of Massachusetts, there are more than 119,000 individuals ten years of age or over who can neither read nor write any language and there are more than 347,000 who can neither read nor write English. We are no longer educating our children for ourselves or for our homes or our towns and cities or state, or even nation, we are educating them for the world.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
The grading of the athletic field at the New High School has been progressing to a considerable extent. Practically all the field is now filled in and ready for finished work. This work has been made' finan- cially possible through the continued interest of Mr. Arthur G. Walton and the late Mrs. Arthur G. Walton some $10,000.00 having been spent on the grounds. The landscape gardners have laid out the grounds and shrubbery has been planted which adds largely to the appearance of the building. Several gifts of books, works of art, etc. have been donated to the school by individuals and former graduating classes which gifts are greatly appreciated by the committee.
The High School building has taken on a business-like appearance both afternoon and evening which is gratifying to note.
GREENWOOD SCHOOL
The Greenwood School Building has been completed and is now being occupied and this has relieved the school problem in Greenwood for a number of years. A room in the New School Building has been given over to a branch of the Publc Library and it is being found very serviceable.
