REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
January 1, 1937
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit my annual report for the past year. During the year I quarantined only three dogs which had bitten three different people, and after the usual fourteen day period I examined these dogs for signs of Rabies, of which they showed none, so I released them.
I received orders November 5, 1936, from the Director of Livestock Disease Control, to make a complete inspec- tion of the condition of all stables and cattle, swine, sheep, and goats in this town, this inspection to be completed on or before January 1, 1937, which was done. I visited thirty- one stables in which are kept three hundred and fifty-six cattle, eight hundred and sixty-five swine, three sheep, and four goats. I found these stables and animals kept in good condition.
There was one cow reacted to the tuberculin test in May 1936, and after being appraised was removed, killed, and the premises disinfected.
The following cattle were shipped to Medfield from points outside the state; two cows from New Hampshire on June 16, six cows from New York on November 13, five cows from New York on November 23, one bull from
10
New Hampshire on December 3, and five cows from New York on December 3, 1936. After the arrival of these cattle I examined them and sent their numbers to the Director of Livestock Disease Control, and they were released.
Respectfully yours, GEORGE S. CHENEY,
Inspector of Animals.
