REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
The Board herewith submits its twenty-fifth Annual Report of the Water Department.
The total commitments for the year were $49,298.11.
Under Extension of Mains program 150 feet of 6" pipe was laid to complete Beech Street which was started in 1959. 1,325 feet of 8" pipe was laid on Sagamore Road past the intersection of Moulton Street to the new sub-division of George Bright who paid for the pipe and all material with the Water Department installing the pipe.
The well field located at the northerly end of Idlewood Lake (Pleasant Pond) has as yet not been approved by the State Department of Public Health.
In 1960 our water consumption was 113,490,690 gallons of which 2,500,000 gallons were purchased from the Town of Essex. This is an increase in consumption of water over 1959 of approximately 2%. The water system now has a total of 1560 services which is an increase of 3% over the 1959 connections.
The resignation of Mr. George Harrigan from the Board in September was accepted with regrets. Mr. W. Whitney Lundgren was appointed to fill the vacany, until the next election.
Again we wish to thank the residents of the Town of Hamilton and all the Town Departments for their cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted, RICHARD H. SMITH, Chairman W. WHITNEY LUNDGREN GORDON L. THOMPSON

REPORT OF THE WATER SUPERINTENDENT
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
GENTLEMEN:
I herewith submit my Annual Report as Superintendent of the Water Department for the year 1960.
The continuation of new building in Town has required the Depart- ment to install fifty-seven new services making a total of 1563 tied into the distribution system. Two new fire hydrants have been added, one on Beech Street and one on Sagamore Street thus increasing the number of hydrants to 168.
During the last week of June and the month of July consumption exceeded our pumping capacity, therefore, we requested assistance from the Town of Essex to enable us to allow for outside use. On June 27th pumping was done around the clock amounting to a total of 811,000 gallons. In addition to this amount we received 288,000 gallons from Essex. Even with this amount of water going into our system it was impossible to maintain a full reservoir. In view of the difficulty experienced in maintaining a full reservoir this past summer I recommend that immediate action be taken to increase our water supply.
Water samples have been taken for fluoride and bacterial analysis by the State Department of Public Health as well as for daily tests by the department.
The usual requirements pertaining to the operation of the depart- ment have been attended to and repairs made where necessary.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
We submit herewith a report of the activities of the Board of Health for the year ending December 31, 1960.
Along with the other departments of the town, the activities and duties of the Board of Health have increased with the continuing growth of our community.
In addition to having jurisdiction over communicable disease and local health problems, the Board of Health is responsible for the collection and disposal of refuse and garbage, the inspection of all new building developments to ascertain whether adequate sewage and drainage can be provided; the inspection of all operating sewage disposal systems; the inspection of food handlers, restaurants, nursery schools and all other matters relating to Public Health.
Early in 1960, the Local Board was notified by the State Board of Health of a possible polio outbreak in 1960. The Local Board took im- mediate steps to provide Polio Clinics. Two such clinics were held in Hamilton. A charge of $1.00 per person, or $3.00 per entire family was made in order to make the program self-supporting. Persons or families who could not afford to pay were given polio inoculations. 1271 residents took advantage of these clinics. We are happy to announce that no polio cases were reported in Hamilton during the year 1960. The Board wishes to thank all the workers who gave of their time and abilities to make these clinics a success.
The Local Board has worked closely with the State Board of Health and the Northeastern Health District, and attended State and Local conferences and seminars to insure the townspeople of the most modern health procedures.
Chest xray examinations were made available under the auspices of the Essex County Health Association, which proved very beneficial to a number of Hamilton residents.
Mrs. Welthea Nelson of the Visiting Nurse Association was ap- pointed Health Nurse for the year 1960-1961. Her assistance on clinics and follow-up cases has been extremely valuable.
An up-to-date set of Board of Health Rules and Regulations were adopted and approved by the State Board of Health.
The Dental Clinic has been continued under the supervision of Dr. John King, and the School Nurse, Mrs. Irene Dankowski, and with the able assistance of the Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Lawson. The Dental Clinic is conducted for the first three grades only. A complete report of the Dental Clinic will be found elsewhere in the Town Report.
64
It would be inappropriate at this time if the Board did not recognize and express appreciation to School Nurse, Mrs. Irene Dankowski, and Health Nurse, Mrs. Welthea Nelson for the assistance and advice they have given to the Board of Health.
Our present rubbish truck has seen a great deal of service and needs replacing. An article has been inserted in the Annual Warrant requesting approval of the purchase of new rubbish truck chassis and body, so that the town can continue to provide rubbish pickup economically and effi- ciently.
961 nuisance complaints and requests for permits or variances were received and acted upon. Three are still pending.
The following is a list of communicable diseases reported during the year :
Chicken Pox 81
Measles 5
Dog Bite
4 Mumps
2
Encephalitis Infections
1 Scarlet Fever 30
German Measles
3
This report by no means covers the entire duties nor the complete activities of the Board during the year. It is a summary of accomplish- ments and recommendations which should be of the most importance to the town.
The Board expresses its appreciation to Charles F. Poole, Highway Surveyor, for his cooperation in the operation of this department, espe- cially in the loaning of men and equipment when needed. Appreciation is also extended to all who have assisted the Board in any way during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM F. MACKENZIE

It seems to me that as time goes on, I see an improvement in the teeth of our Hamilton children. I am hoping that this has been brought about in part by the fluoridation of our town water supply.
Again I urge every mother to see that each child receives a certificate through the clinic or from their private dentist.
Sincerely, JOHN KING, D.M.D.
