Report of Inspector of Milk.
To the Honorable Board of Health.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my third annual report as your Inspector of Milk for the year ending Dec. 31, 1914.
I have visited and inspected all of the farms that supply milk to the town and I find that some have made improvements, not all that could be desired, but repairs have been made to some stables and new milk rooms have been built, also some repaired; this is a great improvement as the milk before was handled in stables or sheds where there was not any protection from dirt and flies, the one great thing that makes im- pure milk and brings on diseases.
Only one inspection was made this year, as this fall the epidemic of hoof and mouth disease amongst cattle put a stop to inspection by order of the State Bureau of Animal Industry.
I have issued the following licenses :- Milk ped- dlers from Southbridge, 13; from Sturbridge, 2; from
294
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
Charlton, 7; from Dudley, 5; making a total of 27, also 2 store licenses and 1 oleo license.
I visited the Milk Shows held in Amherst and Worcester by the State and College and I am sorry to say that not one entry was from this town, I think this a wrong policy and I urge the dairymen of this town and section to enter the "Clean Milk Contest" to be conducted by the State Bureau of Dairying the coming year and by so doing create an interest and endeavor to show their patrons that the are receiving clean milk; it does not cost any more to make clean milk than dirty milk and we all know which leaves the best re- sult.
A new law was enacted last year which requires every one keeping a cow, whether he sells milk or not, to receive a permit from the Inspector of Milk; this re- quires the Inspector to score every place that houses a cow in our town and issue a permit. This work will be started in a very short time.
Every householder that finds dirty milk or dirty bottles should report the same to the Inspector as this aids him.
I wish to thank you and the public for their co- operation in my endeavor for clean milk.
Respectfully,
ALBERT R. BROWN,
Inspector of Milk.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
Report of Inspector of Slaughtering.
To the Honorable Board of Health.
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit my annual report as your Inspect- or of Slaughtering for the year ending December 31, 1914.
We have two licensed slaughter houses in town, which come under my attention. I have inspected and stamped the following carcasses :- Beef, 85; Veals,' 93; Hogs, 130; Lambs, 3 making a total of 311 carcasses.
I have condemned one beef and one veal.
I have visited all of the slaughter houses before the killing of all animals, according to law and I be- lieve that the letter of the law is being complied with in every respect.
Respectfully yours, JOHN HALPIN, Inspector of Slaughtering.

In submitting our report for this year we are pleased to state that the best of harmony prevails in the department. The Auto Combination Hose and Chemical Truck has proven all that we claimed for it, and we feel sure that the voters realize they made no mistake in purchasing it. We earnestly recommend the purchase of an Auto Hook and Ladder Truck this year, as the old one in No. 1 House is gone by, and the constant repair of it is a waste of money. This truck has been in service for 21 years. Now more than ever we feel the want of the quick arrival of ladders to
309
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
the scene of the fire in order to get the best results from the Auto Chemical and Hose Wagon. If it were not for the Auto Chemical the loss at the Poor Farm would be much larger, and if we had a Hook and Lad- der Truck that could travel as fast as the Chemical our loss would be much smaller. The expense of the Auto Chemical for 9 months is about $50.
We recommend the sum of $4,400.00 this year. This is practically the same amount as last year, as $400.00 is to pay for work ordered by the Selectmen and $200.00 for the Electrician's salary to be paid out of the running expenses of the department.
With the exception of the Hook and Ladder Truck and the Steamer in No. 2 House, all of the apparatus is in first-class condition.
In view of the fact that our running expenses were more this year than last, and the number of fires less, it will have to be taken into consideration that the salary of our permanent man came out of our fund and we were put to considerable expense on account of the building of the railroad, but we expect the town will get back about $200.00 of this. We also purchased and installed two fire alarm boxes of the best kind.
We thank the citizens for their co-operation, the firemen for their obedience and good work and the owners and drivers of horses for the service rendered.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH E. DUCHESNEAU, Chief, GEORGE W. LAUGHNANE. WILLARD J. CLAFLIN, LOUIS LAMOTHE. JOHN J. HOGAN, Clerk.
