At the annual Town meeting in March an appropriation of ($75.00) seventy-five dollars was made for a steel cell for women, which has been procured and set up.
An overdraw on our appropriation is largely due to the unfor- tunate occurrence of a murder October 29th, on Haverhill St., which, in establishing the identity of the victim, and the effort to apprehend the perpetrator of the crime, was of necessity quite ex-
.

pensive, a recurrence of which is liable at any time. Regretting that the murderer has not yet been found, I will say that we have not abandoned hope and are still "on the hunt."
No other crimes of a serious nature have occurred this year, but with the opening and operation of the new Reading and Boston electric line, which will make Reading the second largest electric railroad centre in New England, and a sort of dumping ground, I feel that it would be wise for the people of Reading to take meas- ures to properly protect the interests of the town by making an appropriation sufficient to warrant the employment of a day patrol- man. For, as a matter of course, the more people coming into Reading the greater amount of lawlessness, and the Chief will of necessity be oftener in Court, or otherwise out of town in his official capacity.
The relations of your officers one with another have been pleas- ant in every particular, and from the fact that no burglars, highway robbers or "Jack the Sluggers" have operated here is evidence that they have been vigilant.
In conclusion, please accept thanks for your kindness and con- sideration of me, which I fully appreciate.
I also thank the officers, both regular and reserve, for their hearty co-operation and readiness to help and advise in many per- plexing duties. To the Judges aud Clerks of the District and Superior Courts I wish to express my gratitude for their ever ready counsel.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERIC D. MERRILL,
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS AND PROVISIONS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I herewith submit to you my report for year ending Jan. 1, 1903.
During Sept. word was received from the State Board of Agri- culture Cattle Bureau, Dr. Austin Peters, Chief, to make a thorough inspection of all cattle, sheep and swine kept within the town limits. This was completed about Nov. 15, to which time a thor- ough and impartial inspection was made. Cattle which showed evidence of contagious disease in any form were quarantined and afterwards destroyed.
Shortly after this inspection was completed I was again in- formed that Foot and Mouth Disease had made its appearance in several sections of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, and again ordered to make a thorough search for symp- toms of this malady.
Notices were placed in public places describing symptoms that all farmers and stock owners may become familiar and report same to the proper authorities.
The dairies from which our milk supply comes from have been carefully watched and up to the present time, am pleased to say, no cases have been found.
103.
The slaughter houses have been watched and markets inspected from time to time and articles which were deemed unfit were des- troyed.
I wish also to thank the farmers and stockmen for the renewed interest which they have taken and are taking with their stock and stables.
Several have been greatly improved since last years' inspection, which means better products and better health to our people.
Trusting this good work will continue, I remain
Yours truly,
CALVERT H. PLAYDON, M. D. V. JAN. 1, 1903.
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF LAUREL HILL CEMETERY.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
We have nothing new to report. The general work has been kept up but we have been unable to institute any new improve- ments with the appropriation given for the year.
The curved edgestone provided for the previous year was set in the spring, and an iron fence has displaced the wooden one on the right at the main entrance at the High School. We hope the coming year to be able to complete all the curved edgestone we have had in consideration.
The terms of Alfred W. Danforth and Henry T. Leavis ex- pire this year. There is also the unexpired term of our late col- league, Edward F. Brooks, to be filled.
We recommend that the sum of $1000 be raised and appro- priated for the work in the cemetery this 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. 31st, 1902.
TOWN HOME.
Total number of inmates during the year
7
Died during the year 1
Number discharged
1
Number at present time
5
While the number of inmates at the Town Home remains the same as last year, we have had during the year two additions, losing one by death and one discharged, and with these exceptions the work at the Home has been the same as last year.
Our calls for aid from those outside the Town Home have been very materially increased, and with the advance in prices in many of the necessities of life, especially coal, accounts for this increase in the expense of that portion of the Poor Department. Our financial statement follows, to which we invite your attention for the disbursements of this department in detail.
GEORGE A. SHACKFORD, WM. I. RUGGLES, JOHN F. TURNER,
Overseers of the Poor.
