IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1903.
The year just closed has been one of unusual responsi- bility for this department. There has been a marked increase in the number of contageous and infectious diseases, and as a re- sult a large increase in the expense account.
During the year of 1902 there were 34 cases of contageous and infectious diseases. During the year 1903 there were 129 cases, an increase of 95 over the preceeding year. Following is the record of cases reported :
Diphtheria 13 cases
No deaths
Measles 88 cases 2 deaths from Pneumonia following
Scarlet Fever 1 case
Small Pox 4 cases
Typhoid Fever 23 cases
No death No death 1 death
Total
129
Total 3
Recovered
126
Died 3
As will be seen from the above there was one death from Typhoid Fever and two deaths from Pneumonia following Meas- les. There were no deaths from Scarlet Fever or Small Pox.
6
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
In February four cases of Small Pox were discovered in three buildings wherein were lodged sixty-four people. It was necessary to maintain a strict quarentine of the sixty peo- ple who had been exposed, for a period of fourteen days (ten days after the appearance of the last case). These people were all vaccinated and an inspection made every day while the quar- entine was in force. The operatives of all the mills and work- shops as well as the inmates of the House of Correction were vaccinated, and a re-vaccination of about two hundred unsuc- cessful cases was subsequently performed. The children in the public schools were all inspected, and at the close of the inspec- tion every pupil on the school rolls had filed with the schoof authorities a certificate showing that vaccination had been per- formed within two years, or that they were unfit subjects for vaccination. There were very few of the latter. From the re- turns made to the Board by the resident physicians and by other data at hand we estimate that fully twenty-five hundred vaccina- tions have been performed within the last two years. Thus is a very good sbowing, being more than 50 per cent. of our population . That vaccination is a thorough protection against epidemie Small Pox there can be no question.
In anticipation of future cases the Board has retained its hospital furnished and equipped for their reception. We hope there will be no occasion for its use, but after the experience of the past two years, and with the disease not yet eliminated from the manufacturing towns of New England, we deem it best to be fore-armed.
Measles were epidemic during the Spring and early Sum- mer months. They were generally of a mild type, only two deaths occurring, and these were a result of complications.
There were no fatal cases of Diphtheria, a result doubt- less due to the early use of anti-toxine, which was administered in each case.
Of the twenty-three cases of Typhoid Fever, twelve were sent to the Salem Hospital. This was deemed necessary by the attending physicians and this Board, and involved much less ex-
7
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
pense than trained nursing would have done at their homes. Of the eleven cases receiving home treatment, one died.
The Board traced the origin of these cases to a connnon source of infection. The probable cause was removed after which there were no more cases.
There have been few complaints of nuisances. All coming to the knowledge of the Board have been remedied as far as pos- sible. The Board has held one hearing on a nuisance complaint.
All complaints should be made in writing. This is nec- essary in order that they may be attended to in a business like way. The names of the complaining parties will not be used ex- cept in such cases as in the opinion of the Board require a pub- lic hearing.
The sanitary condition of most sections of the Town is as good as can be expected where the cesspool system is used for sewerage purposes. This at its best is far from ideal. The brook running through the centre of the Town which is used by a large number of people as a common sewer is a menace to the public health, and its use as such a sewer should be discontinued. In some of the tenement districts where there is much over- crowding the sanitary conditions are bad. The Board will pro- bably have to make some regulation before the coming Summer to limit the number of persons who will be allowed to occupy a house. Whether such a regulation can be satisfactorily enfor- ced remains to be tested, and this calls up a pretty large question, but one which in the future must be met; viz : that of sew- erage. It is the opinion of this Board that the time has come when some preliminary action should be taken whereby the Town may obtain information as to the best course to persue. The question is too large a one to be settled hurriedly, and this Board would recommend that a committee be chosen at the An- nual Town Meeting and that an appropriation be made to enable them to consult a sanitary engineer and report back to the Town so that the situation may be understood in all its bearings. The Town will then be in a position to take up the matter intelligent- ly, and can take such action as the voters may determine.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
The Board of Health is, we believe the only official Board in Town that has no office or quarters provided for its use. Heretofore its members have been obliged to make such arrange- ments as they could for its meetings. This has been inconven- ient and annoying, and detrimental to efficient work. We would therefore request that quarters be provided for us in the Town House or elsewhere. This would enable us to give hearings both public and private whenever necessary and also enable us to es- tablish a modest laboratory which would be of great assistance in many ways. In closing we wish to thank most heartily, the Ipswich Physicians, the Board of Selectmen, and all others who have rendered us assistance during the past year.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT.
I wish to call the attention of the Town to the fact that the reports of Commissions of the State are forwarded to the Cities and Towns every year. Ipswich receiving them regularly, they are sent to the Clerks of the several municipalities in the State, and are among the Books for which those clerks are held responsible. There is a large number of them now in my charge and more to come and I would suggest that some arrangement be made for their care, they are now arranged on shelves in the Clerk and Treasurer's office and as the room is small they occu- py a place that is much needed for other purposes. They are seldom used or consulted, many of them have never been open- ed, those in the office dating back to 1869. MANY have not been touched since they were placed on the shelves. These reports come from the Commissioners of Lunacy and Charity, Agricul- ture, Police, Military, Fire Insurance, etc. etc. What to do with them is beginning to be a question, as they now remain they are in the way and take up the room so much needed. The Town Records are being carefully arranged and those books which re- quire repair or rebinding are receiving attention. I have some volumes which will be attended to during the year 1904. As I have previously stated these records are the history of the Town and it is much to be regretted that no effort had been made in former years to preserve and care for them. In some of those books parts of pages are missing or in such a condition that they are almost illegible, but they must be preserved as they are the record of the acts of the inhabitants in their town meetings, they are almost the only records we have that we may say are really an authentic history of those early days. While we must by the . laws of the State relating to town records see that they are kept in as perfect condition as possible, it seems to me there is a de- sire on the part of our citizens to keep the written history of our old town carefully guarded against possible destruction. We
claim that here within its corporate limits the first resistance to wrong and unjust taxation occurred, it is a fact that a record can be found on the pages of the book of records for the year 1687 which justifies that claim and the inscription on the Town

seal has not yet been disputed. I might write pages on this sub- ject, but as space will not permit, I will simply say that believing my fellow citizens are as desirous as myself that the records of olden time should be properly preserved, I shall continue the work during the coming year.
Very Respecfully, Charles W. Bamford,
Town Clerk.
