BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORTABLE DISEASE
While it is conceivable that we have had but 151 cases of reportable disease in 1939, it is almost unbelievable. This is the lowest figure in years. We are wont to believe that this total is the result of lack of reporting, rather than lack of disease.
The law regarding the reporting of disease has this year, been changed.
The responsibility for the reporting of disease is upon the "householder", unless there is a physician in attendance.
We are of the opinion, that this change in the law will make for more prompt and more accurate reporting. An achievement, highly, to be desired.
We, as a Board of Health, are most anxious to prevent the spread of disease by proper quarantine, when disease occurs in the community. We can fulfill the purpose of our office only with the co-operation of each and every householder.
It is well to remember that quarantine is only as effective as you Mr. and Mrs. Householder demand.

BOARD OF HEALTH
TUBERCULOSIS
Following is a tabulation of various activities of the Board in its Tuberculosis eradication program.
Tuberculosis is and has been a major activity. It has been a most expensive program. We have at all times, received excellent support and co-operation. We wish at this time to express our gratitude to all who have in any way contributed to the success of the program.
We should like to provide a series of educational programs, which might prove most beneficial, but until such time as the financial conditions of the department is improved, delay in its inauguration will be necessary.

ANNUAL REPORT
GONORRHEA AND SYPHILIS
Our major difficulty in this program is to bring about a realization on the part of the patient of the need for prompt and continued treatment. It is difficult to impress upon the patient the fact that prompt treatment minimizes infection and curtails the duration of the disease.
As can be learned from the above report, investigations for lapsing treatment are numerous, much too numerous. These investigations are time consuming but _ necessary expenditure of effort. For the information of the public, it might be well to state here a well known medical fact, viz: Gonorrhea is more difficult of treatment than Syphilis, although, Syphilis requires the more protracted treatment.

ANNUAL REPORT
CRIPPLED CHILDREN SERVICE
During the year our Crippled Children Clinic at the Anna Jacques Hospital was discontinued by the Department of Public Health, in the interests of economy. Having the clinic at the hospital was a very satisfactory arrangement. The closing of the clinic, however, does not mean that the services to the crippled children will be dis- continued. Those children formerly tended at the clinic will be visited in their respective homes by an orthopedic worker or by a physiotherapist.
There are at the present time 11 cases under the care of this service. Three cases are hospitalized at the Lakeville Sanatorium. All necessary appliances for these patients are being furnished either by the Crippled Children Service or by the Essex County Chapter Infantile Foundation. All our requests for appliances have · been granted. This being responsible for the saving of a considerable sum of money by the City.
Patients now Hospitalized 3

Home Cases 4
Our largest item of expense in the conduct of this service is for transportation to the various consulting clinics and orthopedic centres for the recommendations of the surgeons and for the fitting of appliances.

In our program of Diphtheria immunization four clinics were held. This service was inaugurated on April 9th. It was a free service, under the direct supervision of the agent, Mr. O'Brien, assisted by the school nurse, Mrs. Victoria James, the nursing supervisor of the W.P.A. nursing project, Mrs. Anna B. Miller and the supervising nurse of the Community Welfare Health Centre, Mrs. Marion Perkins.
The attendance was below expectations. A great deal of time and a tremendous amount of effort was expended to make the parents immunization conscious.
It is our intention to continue the program this year. We sincerely hope that our continued effort will be responsible for a greater attendance.
VACCINATION CLINICS
Three clinics were held and a total of 114 children were vaccinated.

We feel that a greater number of pre-school children should have been in attendance.
The tendency is to wait until the summer months, before the child is to enter school. This is poor policy. A child should be vaccinated after the age of six months and before the age of 1 year.

PUBLIC WELFARE
Board of Public Welfare
February 13, 1940.
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the Council :
The Board of Public Welfare submits to you gentlemen their report for the year 1939.
A schedule of expenditures is attached to this report and will give you a clear idea of just how the money was expended from month to month.
Up to the time of the W.P.A. reduction in quota and the thirty-day lay-off, for practically everybody employed on W.P.A., we were operating at about $1,000 a month less than for the same period in 1938. This thirty day lay off, so called, was the most thoughtless, expensive and ill-advised piece of legislation that was ever enacted in connection with W.P.A. In the first place, the thirty days meant that you couldn't be re-employed within that time; but it did not say that you would be re-employed at the end of thirty days, although a lot of the workers assumed that when their time was up, they would be returned to work promptly.
As a result of all this confusion, some of the W.P.A. were unemployed for twelve, fourteen and sixteen weeks at considerable cost to the Welfare Department .. Even though a man was promptly returned to work at the end of thirty days, he had to work three weeks before he received a two weeks pay check.
The bi-monthly pay day and the thirty day lay off cost the City of Newburyport thousands of dollars the past year, we estimate at least $12,000.
Since our last report, we have checked with other Cities and towns on their allowance for supplementary aid to W.P.A. workers and find that none of the cities and n:ost of the towns grant any supplementary aid whatever to W.P.A. workers.
The consensus of opinion seem to be that if people employed on W.P.A., also receive supplementary aid from Welfare Department, that the incentive to look for private employment is lacking.
Supplementary aid cost the City $20,000 for the year 1939. This explains, in some measure, the lack of any appreciable reduction in our annual costs even though many are employed on W.P.A. and some in private industry.
In comparing the number employed on W.P.A. at the present and those now awaiting assignment with two years ago, it would appear that private industry has given employment to at least 450 people who were without a job two years ago, and upon our W.P.A. or direct relief rolls.
The total cost of Horton Home remains about the same as in 1938. We were obliged to renew considerable piping on heating plant, also on main water supply, owing to leaks which kept occuring constantly. A new ice house was built to replace one that was completely gone and about ready to fall down. All repairs made are of a durable nature and will last for many years to come.
A list of repairs, an itemized report of expenses, also a record of the products raised at the farm is attached to this report for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F. MURPHY, GEORGE L. MARSHALL,
Board of Public Welfare.
James F. Creeden, Agent.
