REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I hereby submit to you the work as Inspector of Animals for the past year. In January I received orders from the Commissioner of Animal Industry to make my annual inspec- tion of all neat cattle, sheep, swine and goats and the premises where animals are kept. On this inspection I visited 64 stables in which were kept 416 cattle, 298 swine, 1 sheep and 2 goats.
On this inspection I found no diseased cattle and most stables in very good condition, five or six stables are not kept quite satisfactorily but on account of the war and the state being short of help we did not make a second visit to try and make owners clean up. I have not had to quarantine any cattle the past year.
GEO. S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals.
Medfield, Mass., Dec. 31, 1918.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PROVISIONS.
Honorable Board of Selectmen : Gentlemen :-
I have inspected during the past year, 267 Hogs and 39 Cattle-and have condemned 4 cattle. I have made frequent inspections of the Provisions in the markets and stores of this Town and have found things in good condition.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH W. CURTIS, Inspector of Provisions.
