RECOMMENDATIONS.
I recommend the appropriation of $11,600, the same as last year, for the maintenance of the Fire Department, for the ensuing year. As we are about to install one auto truck this coming sea- son, the saving, if any, in maintenance, will be impossible to tell at this date, therefore think it best to have this amount.
By the addition of auto truck, the east end of Town will be given all the added protection needed at present.
CONCLUSION.
In closing my report I respectfully thank your honorable board for the courteous manner in which they have received me in my official capacity. I also wish to thank all other officials of the
108

Town, who have so willingly given their services, when called upon. To my assistants and members of the department my thanks for the able manner in which they answered all demands made upon them, making the work of the department a great benefit to the Town, and a pleasure to command such a force.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER H. PEIRCE, Chief.

were inspected, sealed or condemned at place of business, and statutory fees of $37 were received, and the same being paid to the Town Collector. The remainder of the sealing was done at the office, for which no fees were charged, in accordance with Chapter 65, Section 35, of the Revised Laws.
Of the twenty-one complaints investigated, nine (mostly ice) were found to be imaginary, five were caused by defective scales, which were promptly adjusted, sealed or condemned, while the remaining seven were distinct cases of carelessness or dishonesty. On two cases of short weight, I summoned the dealer into court. The annual report to the State Commissioner of Weights and Measures as required by law was made in November, of the work done up to November 15.
STORE INSPECTION.
Of the two hundred and ninety-six packages tested during the year, forty-four were found short. Of this number twenty-three were put up by manufacturers, and dealers outside the Town. The adjusting and correcting of many scales and weights which for various reasons had varied beyond the legal standard has resulted by the store inspections.
Last summer I condemned four cases of ice cream boxes for short measure. In justice to the local dealers, there were no in- tentions on their part to defraud. They purchased the boxes supposing them to be the proper size. As these boxes are made by cutting with a die, and pasting upon a mould, it was necessary to measure but a few to determine how the entire lot stood. The manufacturers changed their dies, and sent samples that were up to the standard. Boxes under the law are not legal measures, and a dealer is liable to prosecution if he fails to put the required amount of ice cream or other commodity into a box, even though the cubical contents of the box may be equivalent to the amount by weight or measure.
COAL INSPECTION.
Loads of coal and certificates of weights examined 227
Loads weighed 11
Loads found short 4
Bags of coal weighed 31
Bags found short 3
111
SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
As required by law, a certificate properly made out was found with all loads examined.
The shortage on the four loads was 61 pounds on 6000 net; 74 pounds on 7000 net, 90 pounds on 7500 net, and 110 on 8000 net.
The shortage on the bags was all on one load. On the same load were bags overweight, offsetting the shortage on the three bags.
Three loads were weighed upon complaint, but showed an error in favor of the purchaser. The shortage on the four loads was caused, the dealers claim, by the long haul from the city. As the four loads were from reputable firms, advice seemed the proper remedy. Loads from the same firms were weighed afterwards, and showed the required amount.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Laws passed by the State Legislature affecting Sealers are the ones providing for the sealing of milk jars at the factories, when manufactured outside the State, and one placing Sealers in the Classified Civil Service. · When dealers buy new scales, weights or measures, if they would bring them to the Sealer's office first, before putting them in use, they would stand no chance of being prosecuted for using them without being sealed by the Local Sealer.
Merchants should have such scales that are subject to variation more frequently tested, bearing in mind that they are at all times held responsible for correct weights and measures, whether their scales, weights and measures have been recently sealed or not.
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Town officials and citizens, who have assisted me in various ways in the discharge of my duties.
Very respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. DONAHUE, Sealer of Weights and Measures.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
ARLINGTON, MASS., January 1, 1911. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Arlington.
Gentlemen: I have the honor herein to submit to you my annual report as Inspector of Animals for the year ending December 31, 1910.
During the year I have found five cases of glanders in horses. In making the regular fall inspection, I have inspected one hundred and fifty-five cows, six hundred and twenty-eight hogs, and ex- amined the condition of sixty-two stables wherein these animals were stabled. In all cases the proper papers were given to the owners.
Respectfully submitted, LAURENCE L. PEIRCE, M.D.V.,
Inspector of Animals.
REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN
ARLINGTON, MASS., January 9, 1911.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit my report as Town Physician for the year 1910.
Number of house visits
73
Number of office calls
52
Number of emergency calls at Police Station 14
The above list includes six minor accidents of one sort or an- other, exclusive of those seen at the Police Station; two cases of insanity, one of pulmonary tuberculosis, one medico-legal case * and one birth. Two patients were sent to the hospital, one suf- fering from rheumatic fever and the other from diphtheria. In connection with the latter case I wish to commend the prompt and energetic way in which the Board of Health co-operated - and, I may say, always does co-operate - with the physician in an affair where promptness is imperative.
I join most sincerely in the general feeling of loss over the death of Mr. Freeman. The Town Physician naturally meets frequently the Clerk of the Overseers of the Poor. I always found Mr. Free- man courteous towards myself, conscientious and considerate towards those he had in charge.
Respectfully submitted,
MERRILL EDWIN CHAMPION, M.D., Town Physician.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY.
To the Town of Arlington:
The trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual report. The circulation of books shows a loss of 708, 44,179 for 1910 as against 44,887 for 1909, and in the Children's Room 12,498 for 1910 as against 12,506 for 1909, a loss of eight. The average daily attendance in the Children's Room has risen from 24 to 25; that of the Reading Room shows a gain of 56 against 49 in 1909. The stack room continues to be used by students and scholars, the num- ber of books taken home for examination being 29,238 for 1910 as against 30,145, and 2578 periodicals as against 2908 for 1909, a loss of 330.
The transfer of the branch library at Arlington Heights to the Locke Schoolhouse, which we noted in our last report, has given general satisfaction. We have increased the list of periodicals and added quite a number of reference books, but it should be dis- tinctly understood by the citizens of the Town that the increased cost of maintaining the Arlington Heights Branch simply means a smaller number of books purchased for the town as a whole, unless a special appropriation be made for the support of the branch, thus releasing for the purchase of books money now employed for the convenience of the citizens of the upper end of the Town.
