Report of Board of Health.
Appropriation $100.
Feb. 6, 1901, the members of the Board of Health organized, and it was voted not to employ a regular medi- cal agent, but engage such medical assistance as might be needed from time to time. .
During the year the following licenses have been issued : Slaughter house license under provisions of Public Statutes, of chapter 491, Acts of 1894, have been issued to Nathan B. Walker, Everett L. Ellis and Fred W. Baker.
Under chapter 124, Acts of 1901, the following named persons have been licensed to kill and properly dispose of all horses, (that may need such attention) issued to George W. Ellis, Harwich Centre ; Nathan B. Walker, Harwich Centre ; James S. Baker, Harwich Centre.
John A. Baker was appointed to serve one year as cattle inspector, also as inspector of slaughtered cattle, hogs, etc., and stamp was provided for said business as the law provides.
A. L. Jones and Levi Long were appointed to serve as undertakers, and a license was issued to cover the time of service.
Application has been made and permission granted for the disinterment and removal for burial elsewhere of the re- mains of five deceased persons under the usual conditions, and record made of the same.

During the year three cases of contagious disease have occurred (scarlet fever) in this town. The necessary quarantine rules have been enforced, and precautions taken to prevent the spread of the same, and after the recovery of the patient such sanitary measures were taken as to safe- guard the public health. No expense to town was created in this department.
