REPORT
OF THE
Sewer Commissioners.
75
REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town of Fairhaven.
GENTLEMEN :- The board of sewer commissioners present their annual report on sewers.
During the past year there have been two additions made to the sewers, viz : Extension of the gravity system on Cottage street about seven hundred (700) feet, and extension of the Pease district Shone on Bridge street about eight hundred (800) feet. The extension of the Adams street gravity sewer on the upper part of Bridge street, for which an appropriation was made, it was not deemed advisable to commence, being so late in the season. The pipe is delivered on the proposed line of sewer, ready for work in the early spring, or as soon as the conditions are suitable.
During the past year there have been twenty-nine (29) houses connected with the sewers, which shows that the resi- dents are fully alive to the advantages of a sewerage system.
The pumping station had considerable repairs made, resetting the boiler, new hose for flushing sewers, electric lights installed, and minor repairs. It still needs more repairs. The roof must be reshingled very soon. The cost of maintenance is on the increase, which must follow as a matter of course, owing to the increased area of sewerage district to be taken care of.
We would call your attention again to the fact that very soon some means must be devised to make additions to the plant. At the present time we are about up to our limit on the main
76
engine ; any accident to this unit of power under severe condi- tions would flood the entire Shone district. Even now we have complaints of back flowing of sewerage.
For this year we would suggest that an appropriation of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) be made.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE T. THATCHER, Clerk.

REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
79
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the Citizens of Fairharen :
The board of health respectfully submits its annual report for the year 1906.
The board organized in March, 1906, with the choice of Charles P. Maxfield, as chairman ; Joseph B. Peck, as secre- tary ; Dr. William H. Thayer, as medical inspector.
There have been reported to the board during the last twelve months, sixty-one cases of contagious and infectious diseases, viz :
17 scarlet fever,
4 measles,
12 diphtheria,
1 membraneous croup,
27 whooping cough.
This shows an increase in number of twelve cases in compar- ison with last year. One death resulted from these sick- nesses.
Many complaints of nuisances were made to the board, which, upon notice, were promptly abated.
There have been inspected by Joseph B. Peck, inspector of slaughtered animals, who was appointed by the board, as the law directs, 175 slaughtered animals, viz :
169 swine,
5 beef animals,
1 calf.
All the slaughter-houses were found to be kept in a sanitary condition, and no animals unfit for food were sold, within our knowledge.
80
No license was granted to any person or place where the Jews could slaughter under the license of others; we recom- mend that the same condition continuc.
Dr. D. C. Ashley inspected at the general inspection the fol- lowing animals, viz :
627 cows, 155 swine.
This is the largest number ever reported in the town. He placed in quarantine seven cows, which were brought from Canada, under the tuberculosis test. He found and killed, and caused to be buried or rendered, seven cows having tubercu- losis, and the places where they were found disinfected. The milk from these cows helped to furnish Fairhaven's supply.
Concerning the abodes of the cattle in town, the inspector reports the following : "I have found things sadly below the standard in regard to sanitary surroundings, light, ventilation, and cleanliness. Nearly all the barns in Fairhaven can be im- proved very much at a small expense,- such as putting in more windows on the south sides of the barns, keeping the cow barns cleaner, by the use of good clean sawdust, and by better ventilation in the same. I find there are none who handle their milk just right, but the milk dealers come the nearest to doing so. That all may have no excuse as regards the proper way to handle milk, I will insert in this report an up-to-date method. hoping that all who handle milk will adopt the same."
"In the preservation of milk, which should be the chief aim of the milkman and the housewife, it should be remembered that, with the exception of creaming, which is due to the action of gravity, all changes in milk are brought about by the action of bacteria. Milk containing no bacteria undergoes little or no change, and remains indefinitely sweet. When secreted in the udder of a healthy cow, it is doubtless in this condition, but to transfer it to a bacteria-proof vessel is no easy matter, and despite all precautions possible in every day practice, many bac. teria will gain access to the milk while being drawn, and in the
81
subsequent handling of it. The best that can be done is to keep out as many as possible. Now, in order that the milk may be as free from germs as possible, certain conditions should be observed, viz. :
"That cattle should be free from disease. Hence, every herd of cows producing milk for human consumption should be in- spected by a veterinarian, employing the tuberculin test to such herds as require it, and ordering the removal of all cows that react to the test, and all that have diseased udders.
"The cows should be kept as free from dust and dirt as pos- sible, and if the hair on the flank and udder were moistened be- fore the milking began, it would prevent particles from falling off into the milker's pail.
"The air of the stables should be kept pure and free from dust. The milker's hands and clothes should be kept perfectly clean. The first few spoonsful of milk from each teat should be rejected. All utensils and cans should be cleansed in the following manner: First, wash out with hot water; then with hot water and sal soda, using a brush, so as to clean thoroughly all seams and other parts of the cans; then rinse in boiling water and hang up to drain in a clean, pure atmosphere. The cooling and ærating of the milk, and transferring of it to the cans, should be done in an atmosphere which is as pure as pos- sible. Having taken every precaution to keep the bacteria out of the milk, the next precautions are to prevent the multiplica- tion of such as have invariably entered. To accomplish this, low temperature seems the most practical for the dealer. Frozen milk keeps indefinitely, as no bacteria can grow in it; but at a temperature of from thirty-five to forty-five degrees, it keeps long enough for most purposes ; this temperature can be readily obtained by the use of ice; it is important that the milk be cooled after being drawn as soon as it is possible. After cool- ing the cans should be kept at as low a temperature as is prac- tical until delivered to the consumer.
"Consumers cannot be too careful about their milk supply.
82
especially if it is intended for infants and invalids ; insist upon having a good quality, remembering that two things must be taken into consideration : First, the manner in which the cows and milk are treated; and second, the solid matter the latter contains. Avoid all milkmen whose wagons, teams and drivers have not a neat and tidy appearance, for no milkman who handles his milk in a cleanly manner will send out a dirty wagon or driver. If possible, visit the dairy furnishing you milk. Nothing would do more to stimulate neatness among dairymen than the frequent visits of their patrons. Ascertain what the composition of the milk furnished is, remembering that its richness cannot always be judged by the thickness of the cream which forms on the surface. Milk containing too high a percentage of fat is not as suitable food for children as an average milk, since an excess of fats interferes with the proper digestion of the rest of the ingredients. Furnish a thoroughly cleansed and sterilized dish for receiving the milk, and then if it sours within fifteen or eighteen hours, when kept free from dust and at a moderate temperature (60 to 70 degrees Fahr.), or if it becomes ropy or bitter, or sours with an offensive odor, or the formation of many gas bubbles, call the milkman's atten- tion to the matter. All such changes are due to too many bac- teria being permitted to enter the milk, owing to the careless or unclean handling of it."
No cases of the foot and mouth disease have been found within our jurisdiction the past year.
The board recommends, as before, that the town license some responsible person to collect the swill and garbage, at least twice a week, from the residences of those who make ap- plication to him. Water-tight cans should be used in remov- ing said garbage. As the Improvement Association has begun this work, we would advise that they combine their efforts with those of the board of health, so that the conditions may be made as sanitary as possible.
83
No complaint in regard to expectorating upon the sidewalks and in public places has been made the past year.
The board wishes to call the attention of the public to a very important notice :- (Chap. 80 Sec. 78, of the Public Stat- utes). "When a householder knows that a person within his family is sick with small pox, or any other disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immediately give notice to the selectmen or board of health of the town in which he dwells. If he refuses or neglects to give such notice, he shall forfeit a sum not exceeding ($100) one hundred dollars."
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES P. MAXFIELD, JOSEPH B. PECK, WILLIAM H. THAYER, M. D.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1906.
To the Trustees of The Millicent Library:
I have the honor to present the librarian's report for 1906.
Growth in Volumes
The additions of books for the year number 933 volumes ; 82 more than last year. 195 volumes were withdrawn, leav- ing a net gain of 738, which, added to the 17,108 in the library Dec. 31, 1905, makes the present total 17,846.
The most extensive purchases in any one class were of fiction, being 338 volumes (36% ) out of the 933, including 197 new stories and 141 replaced or additional copies. The next largest class was literature 106; then sociology 71, fine arts 69, and so forth down to 11 volumes of ethics and philosophy. Of the 933, 603 are entirely new works and 330 are additional copies or volumes.
Registration
378 persons received borrower's cards; adult residents of Fairhaven 138, of school age 146; residents of New Bedford 30, and of other places 64. These 378 names bring the total registration since May 1, 1902, up to 2,940, of which number there are in Fairhaven 2,351, 52 per cent. of a population of 4,500, a per cent. not surpassed in the country.
Home Use
The home use, as shown by the outside circulation, was 46,275, the percentage of fiction dropping to 56.9. The use in the building of periodicals and books has by observation
89
increased both in the number of readers and in the lengthening of their stay. I feel that the majority of the readers use the library moderately to their good, but that some are reading decidedly too much and thinking too little. There are other persons in town, however, who might become readers, and it is to them that the library might better address itself, rather than to the increase in the amount of reading of any one person.
Reference Work
The reference work has grown more, perhaps, than any other department, and the collection of reference material, lists of books on live subjects, references to particular pages of books and magazines for special subjects, etc., has nearly overflowed the drawers allotted to it. The new high school has also by its changed and broadened courses of study increased the num- ber of questions and broadened the scope of the school reference work.
Bulletins
Eight bulletins showing the 900 additions and containing for most of the entries descriptive notes have been issued at intervals.
Repairs
Numerous minor repairs and improvements have been made to the building and its equipment, so that it stands in remark- ably good condition for a building in use so many year, and so many hours every day in the year.
The Staff
The library has been represented by members of the staff at the meetings of the A. L. A. at Narragansett Pier, where the librarian presented the detailed Report on gifts and bequests
90
to libraries covering the United States and Canada, and where he was re-appointed member from New England, of the Finance committee. Some member of the staff also has been at most of the meetings of the local associations.
To the Board of Trustees the staff has to offer the most sincere thanks for its continued confidence and support.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Fairhacen:
Agreeable to our annual custom, we herewith present your committee's report of receipts and expenditures in the school department for the past, and recommendations for appropria. tion for the coming year.
The last year is marked in the history of the school depart. ment of our town by a change from one of the poorest to the finest, best equipped and most beautiful high school institution in New England-perhaps in the whole country.
The parents of the children in Fairhaven have a feeling of deep satisfaction that their children are offered a high school education under such perfect conditions. Since the opening of the new high school we believe the citizens of the town have shown a much deeper interest in educational work.
Our town is confronted with the same problem that is troubling most towns throughout the country-that is, the necessity for increased accommodations and the increased cost of efficient teachers. From every school department comes the strong demand for teachers, and with this strong demand and increased cost of living, it is no more than natural that the salaries of the teachers must advance along with those of other occupations.
