REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
During the months of April, May and June the town was visited with an extensive epidemic of Small Pox. Forty cases of that disease occurred in Southbridge during the year. It is greatly to be re- gretted that early in the epidemic there were those who did not realize the necessity for strict quarantine, and were induced, from motives best known to them- selves, to interfere with the efforts of this board to stamp out the disease. Professional incompatibilities, in which we cannot think the people generally have much interest, and which most certainly ought to have nothing to do with matters of sanitary regulations, seem to have operated to hinder and obstruct the Board of Health in carrying out its proper and re- quired work. Finally a general vaccination was or- dered which effectually put an end to the contagion.
No better argument for the purity of the water and for the cleanliness of the town could be made than does the fact itself, that with a population of over eleven thousand, but six cases of typhoid fever have been reported in two years, being nearly evenly divided between the two years, and we have reason to believe that nearly every case is reported to the Board of Health.
We would call the attention of physicians, house- holders, school teachers and all citizens that they are required by the regulations and the Public Statutes to report all cases of contagious diseases immediately to the Board of Health, This includes the reporting of any well-founded suspicion of the existence of any contagious disease. That this law should be observed
260
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
is of the greatest importance, for upon the promptness with which the Board, is informed of the existence of any contagious disease, much depends. The differance of only a few hours may sometimes mean a good deal, especially in cases of diphtheria, where the patients life may depend upon the prompt administration of the remedy, (antitoxin). which experience has demons- rated as almost infallible if applied promptly.
Then again, the earlier quarantine is established and the nature of the disease made known, the better chance is given those not affected, to escape conta- gion.

REMARKS.
It will be seen by reading the report that the De- partment has been managed very economically this year notwithstanding the prices we had to pay for fuel, etc. We would respectfully call your attention to the large number of still alarms reported to the Board this year, and the amount of expense caused by the same.
Following the plan adopted in the large cities, when the shortage of coal, and the use of wood for fuel became evident, the Board deemed it advisable through the medium of the local papers to caution the general public about the use of the fire alarm system for incip- ient chimney fires, thereby saving the town several hundred dollars. We desire to again call to your at- tention the absolute necessity of providing horses for
273
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
No. 2 apparatus, which branch of the department will be practically without horses this year. The time has now arived when the town must make some arrange- ment for horses at that end of the town or leave the vast amount of mill property, etc. unprotected as far as the fire department is concerned. We would re- spectfully suggest that an arrangement be made with the Road Commissioner whereby the fire department may be benefitted, or the other alternative, that the town should own their own horses. This is to our minds a very serious question, and should be carefully, gone over in order that there be no mistakes made in the solution of what is a most important matter. That the fire department should be ignored by the officials when horses might be used for both purposes, (street and fire dept.) and the Board of Engineers placed in the posi- tion of mendicants when trying to secure horses for the apparatus, has not been to us very pleasant. The ap- paratus is in good condition, Steamer No. 1 having been repaired this year.
We would recommend an appropriation of six hundred dollars for the purchase of one thousand feet of rubber-lined hose, to take the place of the fast de- caying leather hose, that we are compelled to use in case of a serious conflagration. We wish to emphasize the necessity of placing a new hydrant on East Main street, at the corner of Morris street, as that portion of the town is without suitable water protection.
We must again reiterate what we said in our report last year, that more thorough inspections of
274
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
buildings and rigid restrictions as to disposal of waste is required with the increase growth of population and business.
We take this opportunity to thank the" citizens of the town for their magnanmiity in granting increase of salary last year, and assure them it is appreciated; also for their support during the past year on the occasions when same was asked for.
The Board desires to thank the members of the department for their uniform courtesy and prompt- ness in response to duty calls; also to the owners and drivers of horses connected with the department for their efficiency during the past year.
We recommend an appropriation of two thousand dollars for the running expenses of the department the coming year.
Respectfully,

REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
In reviewing the work that the Selectmen have had under their charge during the past year, we can only give a report in brief, but trust that our duties have been faithfully fulfilled and our efforts apprecia- ted by every voter in the town.
We feel it incumbent upon the board at this time to refer to the recent misunderstanding with the offi- cials of the Southbridge & Sturbridge St. Ry. Co. While it is to be deplored that any trouble, the nature of which the citizens are aware occurred, it seemed to show that the Board was acting for the best in- terests of the town, for the safety of its citizens, and the protection of corporate and residential rights. We sincerely trust there will be no further friction between the town and the road, for one is dependent upon the other in a way.
The three sidewalks voted in the spring have been built in the very best manner and as economically as possible, the same being very much appreciated by those who use them, and the Selectmen consider them to be in keeping with other public conveniences the citizens enjoy.
278
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
COHASSE BROOK.
The improvements at the corner of Main, Chest- nut and Mechanics streets, which include the straigh- tening and enlarging of Cohasse brook and working Main street to its full width was not done this year, as we were unable to get the work done for the amount appropriated.
Plans were prepared for an arch culvert con- structed of concrete reinforced by expanded metal, and having a flow line paved and grouted with cement, The lowest bid for the work was $2,600. The reason given for these high figures was the increased cost of material. Hence we did not feel justified in starting the work. However, we think this work should be done and recommend that it be left in the hands of the Selectmen.
STATE ROAD.
Work on the state highway on Worcester street, under the allotment of 1901 from the state commission, was in charge of Engineer John A. Whittaker. Ow- ing to the scarcity of laborers and some delay in re- ceipt of materials the work was not completed until late in the season, so it will be necessary to shape up and roll the surface in the spring. This is a type of gravel road built by the Highway Commissioners, and has met with good results in other towns, so we hope for equally successful returns here. Citizens of this town were given preference of employment on the
279
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
work, but as so small a number applied for work it was necessary to employ men from the surrounding towns.
Of the several accounts the board have had under their charge they have tried to keep within the appro- priations on all, but contingencies constantly arise that draw heavily on accounts which cannot be estimated at the beginning of the year.
