RECOMMENDATIONS.
While I do not wish in any way to incur any unnecessary ex- pense to the Town, we all know that the work of apprehending criminals must of necessity be attended by an expenditure of money, of which but a small portion of what has been expended appears in our financial report. Therefore I will ask the Town to be as liberal as possible in their appropriations for this department.
Our Lock-up having no place suitable in which to detain women, I shall ask for a small sum for that purpose.
The growth and perfecting of the police department of the Town should receive the attention of our citizens. From a scat- tered rural population of only a few years ago, and the reign of the Town Constable, Reading has come to be quite a thickly settled town, and this growth has been under conditions favorable to law- lessness ; but thanks to our good people and a fairly efficient police system, we have attained a high rank among other towns both in prevention and detection of crime.
CONCLUSION.
I have, within the past year, had installed at my own expense in my house a telephone for the convenience of the night officers and others who may need my assistance at night, and I have answered numerous calls from our officers and citizens, as well as many from out-of-town police departments, which were of great importance.
I have endeavored to keep the expenses of the department as low as possible, but with an almost continual demand for an officer here and there, and the pressing need of an extra officer on Sundays
.
107
during the summer months, it has nearly exhausted the appropria- tion.
To your Honorable Board and citizens I wish to express thanks. for kindly treatment and assistance in many ways.
To the Judges and Clerks of Courts I extend my appreciation for the aid given me during the past year.
To the regular and reserve officers I extend thanks for all they have done to make us better public servants.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC D. MERRILL,
Chief.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT.
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading :
The Board of Health herewith submit their annnal report.
Whole number of cases of contagious diseases, 67.
Diphtheria
18
One death.
Scarlet fever
28
No death.
Measles
17
S
Typhoid fever 4
Number of houses fumigated, 53.
Certificates issued to re-enter school, 43.
Dead animals buried, 2.
Complaints received and investigated, 26.
Sanitary notices sent, 17.
Permits to do plumbing issued, 79.
Permits to lay drains issued, 33.
Drain inspected by Sec'y, 33.
The fact that but one out of the sixty-seven cases of conta- gious diseases reported during the year, proved fatal, should be con- sidered a very excellent showing, which is due in a great measure to the efficient manner in which the instructions of this Board have been carried out with regard to the immediate quarantine of con- tagious diseases, and the thorough fumigation after recovery. The Board would respectfully recommend a method of school inspection which has been adopted in other places with very satisfactory results. The plan is to divide the town into districts with a medi- cal inspector for each district, whose duty it shall be to visit the schools at regular intervals and examine any pupil whom the teacher
-
111
thinks is ailing or needs medical attention from any cause whatever.
If the physician thinks the ailment of sufficient importance, he recommends to the teacher that the pupil be sent home, with a statement of the cause.
The importance and value of this method of inspection in preventing the spread of contagious diseases of all kinds has been demonstrated so satisfactorily by the experience of other towns and cities, that we feel it our duty to recommend that it be adopted here.
This method, if adopted, of course means the outlay of a com- paratively small amount of money, but the benefit derived would, we believe, be far in excess of the cost, and offer the best solution of the problem of excluding sick scholars from school during term time, which is a most prolific source of the spread of infectious and contagious diseases among the scholars.
We would ask the town to recommend that the Board of Health adopt some means for the disposal of garbage, as it is becom- ing very offensive in many ways, by being dumped by the sides of streets throughout the town.
In closing this report, we desire to commend the physicians with whom we have had business for the prompt notification and report of contagious cases. We also acknowledge the thorough, careful and efficient manner in which Mr. Tukey has performed the duties of Agent of the Board and Inspector of Plumbing. We also desire to congratulate the town upon the general good health which has prevailed during the past year, and promise that every precau- tion shall be used for its continuance.
Most respectfully submitted,
CALVERT H. PLAYDON, M. D. V., Chairman, GEO. L. FLINT, FREDERIC D. MERRILL, Secretary,

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS AND PROVISIONS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I wish herein to submit my report of work done during the year.
I take pleasure in announcing that I have made several exami- nations of cases reported suspicious of contagious disease both in horses and cattle, and upon careful investigation have found them suffering from other causes.
I received orders from the State Board of Cattle Commissioners to make an inspection of all neat cattle within the town limits, which inspection was completed during the months of October and November. At this same time buildings, water supply, ventilation, cleanliness, etc., was looked into and where improvements were found to be essential to the health of cattle and user of products from same they were recommended. In no case where such im- provements were recommended have they failed to be made.
The slaughter houses and markets have been visited from time to time and any product found to be unfit for human con- sumption was seized and destroyed.
I wish to thank the cattle owners for interest shown in regard to healthfulness and cleanliness of their cattle and stables, also the market keepers for the great care taken in securing their products for food.
Yours,
C. H. PLAYDON, M. D. V.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF LAUREL HILL CEMETERY.
To the Citizens of Reading :
The general work of the cemetery has been kept up in good shape the past year.
Improvements have been inaugurated as the state of the finances have allowed. Everything accomplished in this line con- forms to a general definite plan for the permanent improvement of the cemetery.
The most expensive improvement is the proposed setting of rolled edgestone along the main avenue from the entrance near the high school. This will add very greatly to the presentable appearance of the cemetery wherever it is used. The Trustees have con- tracted for all of this edgestone that the state of the treasury per- mitted. The same has arrived and been paid for, but owing to the lateness of delivery it was thought best not to set it until spring. We hope to sell enough lots the coming season to complete con- templated work in this line.
Experience has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Trustees that the concreting of gutters is an extravagance and that money spent that way in the past is almost as bad as wasted. Foreman Jason Zwicker has paved most of the gutters in an excellent man- ner and with greatly satisfactory results.
An order was placed in the fall for twelve new avenue signs, but we were unable to have them delivered before spring. They will be in position before Memorial Day.
116
The Trustees recommend that the sum of $1,000 and the re- ceipts from the sale of lots be appropriated for the work and im- provement of Laurel Hill Cemetery the coming year.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :
We respectfully submit the following report for the year end- ing Dec. 31, 1901 :
TOWN HOME.
Total number of inmates during the year
5
Died during the year None
Number discharged None
Number at present time 5
The year has been an uneventful one in this Department. The number of inmates at the Town Home has been practically the same throughout the year, and the expenses both at the Town Home and for outside relief shows no increase over those for the previous year. On the other hand the amount expended for the care of the insane has increased over three hundred dollars. While this is to be regretted, we find consolation in the fact that on and after Jan. 1, 1904, the Commonwealth will have the care, control and treatment of all insane persons now cared for by the Town. Our financial statement which follows gives some idea of the detail work of this Department.
