456 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



The name and address of the person appointed by you as inspec- 

 tor under the act of 1892, entitled " An Act to more effectually 

 prevent the spread of tuberculosis," has not been received by us, 

 notwithstanding the fact that you have been repeatedly notified by 

 this Board to send such name and address. I am now instructed 

 by the Board to demand that, if you have not already done so, 

 you comply with the provisions of said act ; and you are hereby 

 directed to send the name and address of the inspector, so appointed, 

 to this office without further loss of time. 



These measures were so far successful that at the present 

 writing (December 28) the appointments have been made by 

 all of the towns except Palmer, Scituate, Southborough and 

 Windsor. 



Notwithstanding the fact that so many of the towns have 

 appointed inspectors, a further difficulty has been met with 

 in the fact that for various reasons, some of them explained, 

 some of them not explained, the inspectors have neglected 

 to make any return to this office of any work that they have 

 done in the following two hundred and thirty-three towns : 

 Acton, Acushnet, Adams, Agawam, Alford, Amherst, Ash- 

 burnham, Ashby, Ashfield, Avon, Barnstable, Barre, Becket, 

 Bedford, Belchertown, Bellingham, Bernardston, Beverly,

 ver, Charlemont, Chatham, Chelmsford, Chelsea, Cheshire,
