Dr. Shaw made his annual health report: - In making this my annual report for the year ending Nov. Met, 1912, I am pleased to say that •the health of our town people has been as satisfac• tory as could he expected. There has been no epidemics of contagious dis- eases which speaks well when we con- sider that almost every town and vill- age in the County has been afflicted. There has occurred (3) cases of typhoid fever during the year in all of which' well water was ill use, The total nun) her of deaths was forty deducting those who were not residents it will make the average death rate seven- teen per thousand., Total number of births was forty-two malting the birth rate nineteen per thousand. The ven- tilation of the Public Buildings inched- ing the schools is not of the best. The architecture not being modern much difficulty and expense would he en- tailed to correct this defect. The locic- up is in a disgraceful condition and I advise our town fathers to enquire in- to the matter with a view of tettering the same. Owing to the past year be- ing an exceedingly wet one- the street d and filled been overtaxed drains have b , with mud and filth rendering them too shallow to carry off• the overflow of water with the result that many cellars have been and at present are flooded with water. I fear disease will result in some quarter unless some tffort is made at ranee to remedy this. In my last annual report I advised the introduction of a septematic removal of garbage and manure will breed more flies in forty eight hours than t can be captured in a whole season and as this is an age of preveution, some means should be devised to reduce the clanger from flies I was pleased to r nt r t ''n the past summer b •ave thatdnr observe g efforts were being made to keep the, dust on our beautiful front street from flying about ; covering vegetables, meats and groceries r by sprinkling our streets with oil- I hope next sea- son will see this excellent idea carried out to a much greater extent, all of which I respectfully submit. 3.
