     I herewith submit my report as Health Officer for
the year ending ]annary 31, 1918.
     We have had in the past year four cases of Meas-

     Samples of the water supply have been analy-
zed by the State Chemist, who has reported "good,"
no traces of disease discovered and no sickness has
occurred that could be attributed to the water.
     Many requests for abatement of nuisances have
been made and have received attention, when found
unsatisfactory the responsible parties have in the
most part kindly complied with the recommendation in
