At the suggestion of the State Forestry Depart- ment early in the Fall, that all precautions possible be taken in regard to Forest Fires, a patrol was main- tained throughout the heat of the day and in conjunc- tion with the Fire Department a man was kept on duty throughout the day, the basis of pay adjustment being about 50-50 between the two departments, the time being spent by him, when not actually employed on fire duty, in painting up the trucks of the fire de-

Fourteenth Annual Report of the Water and Sewer Commissioners
No new main extensions have been made during the year and no hydrants added. Two thousand feet 6 in. pipe have been purchased and next Spring same is to be laid on Lewis Street and an extension on Washington Street. Three new hydrants will be in- stalled on Lewis Street and one on Washington Street. We have had seven breaks in the old cement lined pipe during the year, the most serious one being in December at the corner of Union and Cottage Streets. It had been running for several days before being lo- cated, as it discharged into the brook unseen and we had lost several million gallons during that time. It was finally found by shutting off the mains by sec- tions and testing out separately.
All the hydrants have been tested and found in good order.
Fourteen new water services have been added, making 1,088 now in use. Sixty-nine meters have been repaired.
We have felt for some time that the town needed the best possible supply for fire purposes, so ordered, last Spring, an electrically driven centrifugal pump: We believe that this will maintain a more even head of water in the standpipe and also show an economy in operation. The steam pump is to be maintained for emergency or season work. The foundations have been laid and all connections are in readiness for the arrival of the pump and it can be put in operation as soon as it comes in.
The driven wells were pumped out and washed in September and are in good condition. As the con- sumption of water is increasing we shall undoubtedly
68
have to pull some of these up and redrive them or add new ones to the system. The open well maintains its usual supply in quantity and quality.
The water pumped during the year after de- ducting 5% for pump slippage was 178,468,685 gal- lons. The largest amount pumped in one day was 953,568 gallons. This was at the time of the break in the main and during the Clark Machine Shop fire, showing more than double the average daily con- sumption.

Sewers and Sewer Beds
There have been 53 house connections made dur- ing the year. The American Woolen Co. has laid a 10 in. pipe for their closets and ten tenement houses on Ray Row and Sugar Beet Streets. A private sewer has also been laid on Alpine Row, same being paid for by the abuttors.
All dead end sewers have been flushed several times during the year and all found to be in good condition.
The Timnah Brook system has been doing fairly good work and no extensions have been made, but the Nos. 1 and 2 beds should be thoroughly repaired the present year.
The Mine Brook beds are in good condition and are doing good work. The effluvient is analyzed monthly by the State Department of Health and found to be satisfactory. The sewer discharge on. them for 1920 was 76,819,600 gallons, an average of 210,000 gallons each 24 hours, or a decrease from last year of 53,400 per day.
The produce raised on the Buckley farm was sold to net $84.75. :
We recommend the appropriation of $3,500, also the unexpended balance in the treasury and the

receipts of the department for the construction, main- tenance and repairs of sewers and sewer beds.

Report on Town Farm
To the Voters of the Town of Franklin :
The inmates at the Town Farm consist of seven
72
patients and one boarder. There has been a general increase in expenses which must be placed under the head of high cost of living. The buildings and sur- roundings are very tidy and neatly kept, although they should have a coat of paint the coming year and some minor repairs. The inside of the house is in very good condition and exceptionally well cared for. The comforts of the inmates are well looked out for by the matron, who has the assistance of one maid.
There has been no regular help kept on the farm during the past year. At planting and harvesting time some extra help was employed, but most of the time the work was handled by the superintendent, who was always willing to cooperate in keeping down the running expenses. The milk produced was used on the farm, either consumed or made into butter. There is at this time 175 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets, and cabbage, 28 tons of hay and 1 ton of straw, 200 fowl, 5 cows, 1 swine, 1 horse. One horse having become unable to work was disposed of, which will make it necessary to purchase another. later on.

The Board recommends the sum of $18,000 and receipts of department for the year 1921 to support this department.
GEO. E. EMERSON, DAVID W. CORSON, GEO. F. RIBERO, Overseers of the Poor.
Report of Overseers of Poor
In closing the year Dec. 31st, 1920, this depart- ment is aiding 15 families, 11 children in homes, and 3 persons in regular institutions, a total of 93 per- sons. At irregular intervals, temporary aid and med- ical care has been furnished to old people who can only partly care for themselves. There has been sev- eral cases where persons having a settlement in this
73
Town had to be cared for in hospitals. Eleven fam- ilies consisting of 58 persons are cared for under Chapter 763, Acts of 1913, wherein one-third of the actual expense is returnable from the state, two fam- ilies belonging to outside Towns and three families being cared for by this Town and one direct State charge. Eleven children living with relatives who are only partly supported by this Town. During the year four children have become old enough to care for themselves. Owing to the high cost of living a number of families had to have more than the regular allotted relief. Owing to the general conditions at this time, throwing so many out of employment, the Board has had more calls for relief than usual, some of which were made by parties who if they had had any other alternative would never have applied and until the chances for employment are better aid will have to be furnished in more cases rather than less. GEO. E. EMERSON, DAVID W. CORSON, GEO. F. RIBERO, Overseers of the Poor.
Report of the Board of Health
To the Citizens of the Town of Franklin:
During the year ending December 31, 1920, there have been reported to the Board 233 cases of diseases dangerous to the public health.
In the month of October, diphtheria had become so prevalent that the Board in co-operation with the State Department of Public Health, caused throat and nose cultures to be taken from all scholars, teachers and janitors of the Public Schools, resulting in the discovery of three carriers of the disease.
The regulations of the Board, on account of the almost epidemic conditions of diphtheria, probably were the cause of some slight inconvenience to a few of our citizens. However, the Board were well within their rights in insisting upon a strict compliance of their orders since the health of the entire community is of greater consequence than the comfort or business
74
of the few. Quarantine regulations are designed for the protection of the health of all, and as the health of the individual is a public asset in which the civil government has an interest, broad police powers may be exercised.
Quarantined premises, after being placarded, are of necessity, left in part, to the good sense of those who are quarantined; unfortunately, ideas of that which is right, and that which is wrong, are some- what divergent. The person who sneaks out of a diphtheria house and slays little children with the germs he scatters, is not very much better than the murderer, who sneaks into your home and slays your sleeping babe. When good citizens awaken to this fact and advise the authorities of what they see, in order that the guilty may be punished, we will have fewer communicable diseases in our midst.
Total number of communicable diseases reported to the Board for the year are as follows:
Chickenpox
9
Diphtheria
74
Measles
76
Mumps
17
Scarlet Fever
27
Pulmonary Tuberculosis

In the annual Inspection of Animals for 1920, I inspected 854 cattle, 417 swine, 72 sheep and 104 goats. The animals seemed to be healthy, but not kept as clean as usual, owing to lack of help to care for them.
All contagious diseases among animals should be reported to the Inspector of Animals at once. Respectfully submitted. GEORGE A. ALLEN, Inspector of Animals.

Report on Gypsy Moths
Franklin, January 1, 1921.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Dear Sirs:
While we have been able to keep the center of the town clean, not having one tree eaten up, we have not been able to keep the outskirts clean.
Confined for larceny
79
We have creosoted over eleven thousand trees. Also sprayed at the rate of 100 trees a day for 60 days. We have used up 1800 pounds of dry lead. While the coming year we will be able to keep the center clean the outskirts will not be able to be done unless the town buys a 1 ton truck for the sprayer, as we could do twice the spraying as can be done with a horse.
Appropriation $2200.
I remain yours respectfully, JOHN W. STOBBART, Local Supt.
Annuel Report of the Tree Warden for 1920
Franklin, Mass., Jan. 1, 1921 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
The appropriation of $250 for the tree work is too small an amount to accomplish the work that should be done in Franklin. We have taken 19 trees down below the ground. Beside the trimming there are at the present time 16 trees that are dangerous to the public.
Out of the appropriation there was $50 spent to clean up the debris after the storm this summer, also out of the Gypsy Moth appropriation there was $120 for insurance.
There should at least be $500 appropriated for the ensu- ing year.
I remain very respectfully, JOHN W. STOBBART, Tree Warden.
