Js .WEDNESDA4, OCIOB ease by reporting cases and unsani- tary conditions. Great credit is due to the association in its various | fields of work.
 The Plainville school committee and the superintendent of schools | with his instructors have co-operat- ed wonderfully well with the health officer In carrying out his instruc- tions. Sending children home from school with suspicious sore throats and communicable disease uGques- tionably has been decided factor. in the prevention of disease and keeping Plainville free of com municable disease, especially septic sore throats, diphtheria, and scarlet l fever. Too much praise can not be given to the superintendent and his instructors In their untiring efforts.
 Periodically, the milk has been taken from the various milk deal CTS in the town and sent to the state laboratory for examination. With the exception of an occasion al minor defect which could be &C., counted for and corrected, the milk received by the Plainville people is considered of very high quality.
 During the past year general survey by the state sanitary en- gineers has been made Of the Plainville water supply. the pollu- ton of streams, sewage, and gar bage disposal. A report has been sent out with recommendations 10 the town health officer and select men.
 Recommendations Again this year, the health ot- fcer of the town of Plainville asks that some action be taken toward the establishment of new sewage system. It Is surely very poor judgment in putting this most se- rious matter aside year after year from an economical, legal and sanitary point of view. Delay means at least ten per cent increase in the actual cost for every year de- layed. Plainville is violating the stream pollution act, while almost every other city and town is doing its best to correct this measure. Plainville Is growing fast. and the ever growing system of closely ap- proSimating cesspools is not i'm proving the sanitary condition of the town. The health officer at least asks that new committee be appointed by the annual town meeting to investigate further into this most vital and serious matter.
 Again this year, the health of ficer asks that some action be taken In regard to garbage disposal. Daily the health officer receives complaints in regard to this ever increasing menace. Plainville is growing and has no place to put her garbage as well as no collec- ton of garbage. It is recommend ed that Plainville find a place for garbage disposal and adopt some means of garbage. collection in the near future.
 Owing to the fact that there will be a larger number of stu dents attending schools in Plain- vile than ever before, and with constant increase yearly in that number. it is recommended that Plainville have school nurse in the near future to take care of their wants and instruct them in matters pertaining to their health.
 George F. Cook, M. D.,
 Health officer.
