No WAs informed by MT Callahan that 1t was . triAs larger than usual, the nun ber for December, 1905, being only eight.
 The report Of Food and MIR h. spsctor Keelsy shoWsd that 10 !p af- ter the milk dealers. especially thoss that are not mainteining eecd dair- ies. It was tho cpinion of tho beard that those dealers who have batn warned about the condition q thsir yards and still refuse to cleaR up should be arrested. The inspector stated that the bob vsal which he found in some stores during the week was connscated by being soaked with kerosene oil
 Health oAAcer Kilmartin informed the board that he had. received couple of eommunica tions from Wa tsrvills in regard to tho leaking of garbage wagons as they passed through the town and also about a supposed stench coming from the ere matory, but he said he did not think them worthy of any consideration \ communication was also received from the mayor which stated that on December 3, and , he had Super intendent of Police Beach detail an officer in plain clothes to remain in Waterville and watch the sArbage wagons. Not only were tho plugs securely fastened in the wagons but on one day pieces of cloth covered the plugs 10 to make sure there would be no leakage was the report the ofiicer made.
 A bill was received from Nathaniel Carpenter who is an inmate of the alm6house of t60 for caring for the isolation hospital during the year. An the board never hired tho man for such work the bill was laid on the table where 1t is likely to re- main, as none of the members seem willing to have itpaid. Carpentsr acts as nurse whom there are aAy patients at the issolation hospital and the board pays him but they cannot zee why he should take upon himself to act as janitor. Tho health ofncer reported that with Messrs Cal lahan and Keeley hs had made an inspection of the ponds on which ics is cut. It was found that sufficient precAution had been taken for the protection of the public.
 Although the aldermen do not think that the question Of | new crematory for the city Is an import ant matter the board of health is of the opinion that 1t has sstlOuA proposition and that the aldermanic body acted unwisely when 1t turned down the health commissionArs when they asked for S11,000 for new crematory. At the meeting of the health board last evening Commis- sioner Bland stated that the crema- tory broke down yesterday and d. though it could be repaired in | day he stated that 1t could bs seen what the board might be up asainst for tho next couple of yesrs. Although the crematory was fully repaired In September and has only been tied up twice since that time, 1t is evil dent that 1t is fast wearing out aud there is no telling when 1t might fall with . crash.
 President Freney said that 1t vas to be regretted that the aldermen turn ed down the recommendation and said he would be almost willing to swear that there were not three al- dermen who ever saw the crematory.
