To the Selectmen of Medfield: I hereby submit to you the report of my work for the past year. In December, 1929, I received orders from the Director of the Division of Animal Industry, State House, Boston, Mass., to make the annual complete census and inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, kept in this town, also the condition of the stables in which they are kept, this inspection to be com- pleted not later than March 1, 1930. During this examination, I visited 35 stables in which are kept 309 cattle, 278 swine, no sheep and 2 goats. The animals all appeared healthy physically and stables kept in very good condition. Of these 309 cattle, 192 were Tuberculin tested under State and Federal supervision. There are a number of more cattle under supervision at this date. During the past year, 5 dogs were quarantined for Rabies. These dogs had bitten different people and after a period of 14 days, not showing any signs of the disease, were released. About September 1, 1930, a dog was taken sick and owner sent it to a hospital. At the hospital the dog showed signs of Rabies and later died. September 4, 1930, I quarantined 2 dogs that had been in contact with the dog that had died, these dogs were inoculated to prevent Rabies and at the expiration of 21 days were re- leased. October 17, 1930, 8 swine were quarantined for Cholera. These swine were inoculated to prevent this disease but were too sick at the time of treatment and later died. Yours truly, GEORGE S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals. 10 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS General Highway Department Appropriation $15,000.00 Joel H.
