REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.


TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


The Board of Health would respectfully submit the following report :


At our first meeting, in compliance to the requirements of the law, we licensed the plumbers and appointed an Inspec- tor of Plumbing ; also an inspector of the meat and provision markets and at the slaughter houses.


Our Inspector of Animals has reported the following contagious cases : Tuberculosis in cattle. 26; glanders in horses, 3. These animals have been destroyed in the manner required by the law.


There have been reported and received the attention of the Board the following infectious and contagious cases : Typhoid fever, 7 : scarlet fever, 12 ; measles, 1; rubeola, 1 : diphtheria, 1.


There have been more than the usual number of com- plaints of nuisances arising from surface drainage and cess- pools. The work in this direction has increased, and must necessarily increase, on account of the lack of sewerage.

REPORT OF THE FRANKLIN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.


In accordance with the custom of former years. the Directors of the Franklin Library Association make the fol- lowing report :


The Library has been open regularly during the year for the issuing of books and also as a reading room. The number of books drawn out of the Library for home reading during the year has been 12,644, an increase of 642 over that of the previous year.


The annual report of the Librarian to the Directors shows that there has also been an increase in the use of the reading room and of the reference books and periodicals which have been made available to the citizens of the town by reason of keeping the Library open afternoons and even- ings. During the year there has been added to the Library a large number of books purchased with money accruing from the Dean Fund, and also a large number of books and pam- phlets donated by public-spirited individuals.


There has been expended for books from the income of the Dean Fund the sum of $409.36, and from the town appro- priation for defraying the expenses of the Library the sum of $666.42.
