REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
OF MILFORD, DELAWARE
Submitted 10 The Mayor And
Town Council

During the past year there have
been no epidemics of disease, there
fore, the work of the Board of
Health has been more or less of a
routine nature. The usual iDspec-
tions have been made and wherever
possible nuisances have been done
away with.
The regular collection of garbage
has been satisfactory and we rec
ommend that it be continued.
A general cleanup Of the town
was supervised in the spring and
again in the fall, without having to
employ any additional labor. This
was so successful that we recon-
mend that it be done four times a
year instead of two times as here
tOfOro.
Due to a lack of adequate sewers
we have been unable to recommend
the destruction of all outside toilets.
However, we do advise that where
sewers are provided by the town,
that abutting property owners be
compelled to connect with them and
where sewers are not provided, pro-
perty owners shall install a septic
tank, which can only be installed af-
ter the plans are approved by the
city engineer.
Supervision of eating houses and
stores where edible goods are dis
played has not been as active as we
would like so that for the coming
year we recommend a closer COOP
GRAFTON on the part of the public in
demanding all sanitary precautions
in the sale of merchandise, also pro-
hibiting display of foodstufs on
sidewalks.
We wish to congratulate he Mil
ford School Board on employing
such a capable nurse. Her work has
been first class in every respect.
For the coming year.. if satisfac-
tory arrangements cannot be made
with the State Board of Health. then
the new City Council may have TO
make a change in the appointment
of an executive secretary of the
board.
AS to the purity of our town wa
ter supply as shown by frequent
analyses, it has been free from
contamination, therefore we rec
ommend that the chlorinator be
continued in operation at the pump
ing station.
In conclusion we wish to thank
the Mayor. Town Council and citi-
zens of Milford for their coopera-
ton and help in trying to make Mil
ford a better place in which to live.

FREIGHT RATES

posals which began seven months
ago with the railroad demand for a
fiat IS per cent increase.
The plan continues in effect only
for the period of emergency and in
no case beyond March 81. 1888. A

Association forecasts a reduction in

Recommendations

]. A new sewer and water main
on Sussex Avenue.
2. A new sewer and water main
on Barker Street from Barker
Street to the end of Washington
Street.
3. The removal of telephone poles
on Walnut Street from North Second
Street to South Second Street.
While this was recommended in my
message of 1880 it was not acted on
due to lack of authority in the Char
ter to compel the telephone COM
pany to remove their poles. Under
the new Charter this authority is
given the town
4. The installation of a system
for furnishing the residents with
gas for heating purposes. This was
also recommended in 1890, but could
not be handled under the old Char
ter. The new Charter now gives the
right to grant a franchise by ref
erendum vote of the people for such
public improvements. If such
system is installed l recommend
franchise of not more than ten years
duration.
5. The issuing, by referendum
vote, of serial bonds in $1,000 denom-
nations in the amount of $4,000.
This money to be used to cancel the
floating debt of the town which was
incurred in 1927.
