Report of the Board of Health
January 1, 1911.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen, City of Mel- rose.
Gentlemen :- The Board of Health respectfully submits here- with its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1910.
Membership and Organization.
The membership and organization of the Board was the same as during the previous year, viz: Clarence P. Holden, M.D., Arthur A. Hayden, Esq., and Mr. Fred H. Rounds. The Board organized with Clarence P. Holden, Chairman; Fred H. Rounds a member of the Board of Examiners of Plumbers; Miss Grace A. Colby, Clerk; Andrew J. Burnett, Inspector of Plumbing and Sanitary Inspector; Dr. W. M. Simpson, V. S. Inspector of Animals, and Inspector of Food Products; Caleb W. Clark, M.D., Inspector of Milk and Vine- gar; Drs. R. R. Stratton, A. E. Small, Caleb W. Clark, Med- ical Inspectors of Schools.
Wm. S. Briry, Ph.G., presented his resignation as in- spector of Milk and Vinegar. His resignation was accepted and it was ordered that the Chairman express to Wm. S. Briry, Ph.G., by letter, the appreciation of the Board for his faithful and efficient work as Inspector of Milk and Vinegar during the past five years.
Meetings.
Regular meetings of the Board of Health have been held Tuesday evenings as heretofore, and special meetings when necessary.
The following additional regulations and changes have been made by the Board, approved by the Mayor, and pub- lished in a local paper as the law requires :-
Chap. 8. Sec. 15. "Whoever tests milk or cream which is to be offered for sale in any form, by tasting, shall do so by means of a spoon, or piece of wood, paper, cardboard or other
118
CITY OF MELROSE
article, and such spoon, piece of wood, paper, cardboard or other article shall not again be brought in contact with the milk intended for sale, or be used for testing milk until after being thoroughly washed and sterilized. No person shall permit his hands, fingers, lips or tongue to come in contact with milk intended for sale, in any form. All persons en- gaged in the tasting, mixing or handling of milk for sale in any form, shall, before engaging in such tasting, mixing or handling, thoroughly clean their hands and finger nails and keep them clean and dry during such tasting, mixing or handling. No person shall permit his hands, while wet, to remain or pass over any open vessel containing milk in- tended for sale in any form. No person shall fill a jar, can or other receptacle with milk while the aforesaid jar, can or other receptacle is held over an open vessel containing milk intended for sale in any form. No person who has sore throat diarrhoea, or is suffering from any other disturbance of the bowels, or has symptoms of infectious or contagious disease, shall engage in the handling of milk which is to be offered for sale or which is for sale."
Food and Food Products.
Chap. 18. Sec. 1. "No person or corporation, individ- ually or by his or its agents, servants or employees, shall allow the body of any animal or part thereof, or any poultry, fish, bread, pastry, or any other provisions or food stuff which may be used as human food, to be carted or carried through the streets and public ways of the City of Melrose, unless the same be so covered as to be protected from infection and in- jury by dust, dirt and flies.
Sec. 2. No berries, cherries, grapes, dates, figs, salted peanuts, cracked nuts of any kind, corn cakes, corn crisp, candy or confectionery of any description, maple sugar or any other article of food stuff which may be used for human food, without cooking or peeling, shall be kept or exposed for sale, in any street, or public place, in or outside of any shop or store, or in the open windows or doorways thereof, unless they
119
HEALTH REPORT
be kept covered, so that they shall be protected from infection and injury by dust, dirt and flies.
Sec. 3. No fruit, vegetables or other articles which are intended to be used as human food shall be exposed or dis- played in any street or way, or in front of any place of busi- ness, unless the bottom of the box or receptacle containing such articles is raised at least twenty-four (24) inches above the sidewalk or platform or landing upon which said recep- tacle rests.
Sec. 4. Every person or corporation being the occupant or lessee of any room, building or place where any meat, fish, birds, fowl, milk, cream and ice-cream, vegetables, butter, fruit or other articles intended or held for human food, shall be manufactured, stored or kept, or shall be offered for sale, shall put and keep such room, building or place and its ap- purtenances in a clean and wholesome condition, nor shall any room used for the above purposes be used as a dormitory; and every person having charge or interested or engaged, whether as principal or agent, in the care or in respect to the custody or sale of any meat, fish, birds, fowl, milk, butter, fruit, vegetables or other articles intended for human food, shall keep, protect and preserve the same in a clean and wholesome condition, and shall not allow the same or any part thereof to be poisoned, infected or rendered unsafe or unwholesome for human food."
Contagious Diseases.
There were reported to the Board of Health during the year a total of 41 cases of diphtheria. These were all sporadic except a group of cases involving two schools at the High- lands, the cause being a number of unrecognized cases. When these mild and unrecognized cases were discovered and isolated, the outbreak promptly ceased. There were reported during the year 32 cases of scarlet fever as against 106 in the preceding year. The Board desires to place upon record at this time its judgment that so far as diphtheria and scarlet fever are concerned, attention on the part of parents to the
120
CITY OF MELROSE
mild cases in the beginning, would easily cut in two the num- ber of cases of these diseases. It is rare that a case of scarlet fever or diphtheria occurs outside the family after the case is reported to the Board of Health.
Tuberculosis.
There were reported to the Board during the year a total of 28 cases with 18 deaths, one more than during the year 1909. Several cases have been maintained at the various State Hos- pitals and others have been aided in their homes. The Board has been greatly assisted in their work as heretofore by the Melrose Anti-Tuberculosis Association. Every case desiring sanatorium treatment has had it and it is the opinion of the Board that some valuable lives have been saved for years of usefulness. The greatest need at this time is a hospital in their home city where cases in their later stages may go and be properly cared for without danger to their families or the community, and with easy access to their friends.
Medical Inspection of Schools.
Medical inspection of schools has been conducted as in previous years. The reports in general of the Inspectors, show that school buildings and rooms are in good sanitary condition and well cared for. Some changes recommended by the Inspectors, have been made. Others await available funds. More than five hundred cases have been referred to the school physicians, and among these cases were found:
Scabies. 7
Diphtheria. 2
Pediculosis 25
Conjunctivitis. 8
Impetigo 13
Astigmatism 1
Stye. 1 Eczema 8
Other Skin Diseases 3
Anaemia . 2
Mumps. .

The report of Dr. Small calls attention to the suffering and menace to health from neglected teeth in school children.
121
HEALTH REPORT
The Washington School, Miss Crane, Principal, Dr. Stratton, Medical Inspector, has done a notable work in show- ing the effects of milk daily administered to pupils showing lack of nutrition. The Board only calls attention to these matters to show the vast field of usefulness to be covered by efficient medical inspection in the schools.
Isolation Hospital.
The hospital was open 179 days during the year, taking care of 7 cases of scarlet fever and 8 cases of diphtheria at a cost of $1,016.78. The average cost per day per patient was $2.85.
The Board has given aid to the following cases of con- tagious diseases :

Of these thirty-six (36) cases cared for, 25 had a settle- ment in Melrose, 5 in other cities and towns, and 6 had no settlement in Massachusetts.
Vaccination.
Forty-seven successful vaccinations were performed at the office of the Board of Health, and 9 vaccinated not re- turned for inspection. Fifty-three certificates of vaccination were issued to children vaccinated elsewhere, for admittance to school.

New Sewers.
The Board recommended to the Board of Aldermen that a sewer be constructed in that portion of Morgan street, between Spring and Main streets.
Milk.
The Board, with the assistance of the Inspector of Milk and Vinegar, has made inspections of all the dairies in Melrose and the nearby towns. Many conditions have been improved but much remains to be done. Inspection of the dairies far distant, possibly beyond the limits of the State, is clearly be- yond the powers of a local Board. For this purpose inspection by the State Board of Health is necessary.
Ice.
Under the regulation of the Board of Health providing for the removal of the upper inch of ice and the rejection of all ice containing foreign matter the ice was harvested and delivered to consumers in better condition than ever before.
Collection of Garbage.
The collection of garbage has been done by contract, John Doherty of Stoneham, contractor. The service on the whole has been good and especially good in that part of the city under the charge of the veteran Thomas R. Higgins.
