Report of Inspector of Milk


April 27th, 1918.


Melrose Board of Health,


Melrose, Mass.


Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report as Milk Inspector for the year 1917.


Samples of milk have been taken each month from dealers sell- ing over twenty quarts of milk. These samples have been analyzed chemically and becteriologically. The results have been excellent as a general rule. The appended tables give a good insight into the qual- ity of milk delivered by the various dealers. It must be kept in mind that a milk having a high percentage of fats and total solids and a low bacterial count is the best for human consumption. Good food value is indicated by the fat and solid content, while a low bacterial denotes a clean, fresh product.


With the present price of milk the question of food value must be considered and the prudent buyer should purchase milk from the dealer who delivers a high grade of milk.


Table No. I shows the median number of bacteria per c. c., also the average percentage fats and total solids.


Table No. 2 is worthy of much consideration as it shows more clearly the quality of milk delivered by the various dealers viewed from the point of cleanliness.


The inspector in addition to the regular monthly samples has analyzed samples submitted to him by various dealers who have de- sired to improve their supply.

Report of the Public Health Nursing Service


DISPENSARY


During the year 14 active cases have been under the care of the Dispensary. Thirty-two others, mostly children who have been in con- tact with tuberculosis have been examined and an oversight kept of them through the year. Eleven patients are on our regular visiting list for private physicians.


One sleeping porch was put up and assistance was given in build- ing another from our Red Cross Christmas Seal Fund. This fund was also drawn on when necessary for outfits for patients who were ad- mited to the sanitarium. It also supplied dinners for a number of our patients and their families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and fruit and milk for our bed patients.


During the Christmas of 1917 the sale of the Christmas seals was again taken up and $336 was raised mostly by the school children for our local Tuberculosis work.


Each child selling 100 seals was made a Modern Health Crusader and was given a Modern Health Crusader Pin.


A Modern Health Crusader implies the care of ones own health, by sleeping with open windows, proper food, the care of the teeth, frequent bathing and general personal hygiene. About two hundred and fifty of these pins were given out.


INFANT WELFARE


Two hundred and thirty-four infants under one year of age have been visited during the year. Forty-one have been on our regular visit- ing list through the Milk Station, Baby Conference and supervision in the homes.


During July, August and part of September a milk station was opened in Memorial Building where the milk was pasteurized and sold at nominal price. In cases where special formulae was necessary the required number of feedings for twenty-four hours was put up in the feeding bottles which were packed in ice and delivered in the pails provided for the purpose. Later the mothers were instructed in pasteurizing and preparing the milk at home.


The babies enrolled at the station showed a steady increase in weight through the hot weather. To assist the mothers over the critical period when the diet is being changed from milk to solid food,


77


BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT


diet lists for children one year, eighteen months, and two years of age, were printed and distributed. These were much appreciated by the mothers.


The best literature that could be obtained by the Health Depart- ment on the care of mothers and babies have been distributed through the year.


On account of the number of cases of diphtheria in the city the station was closed earlier than was intended in order that the nurse might be able to give all her time to the schools.


SCHOOLS


In June several cases of diphtheria broke out in one room. A carrier was eventually found. On account of the number of cases reported during vacation, when the schools opened in September, as far as possible every child who was known to be sick, without a physician o1 was absent from school, was visited. Several cases were found where they were being treated with home remedies for tonsil- itis and a culture showed them to be mild cases of diphtheria. In one case a child had been sick in bed for three days when the nurse called. The mother assured her that he would be back in school in a day or two. He was brought in from the street where he was playing with other children and a culture was taken and the mother requested to keep him isolated while we were waiting for the report. This proved to be diphtheria and had to be quarantined for several weeks.


A great improvement has been noticed among the pupils in regard to the care of the teeth. In six schools with an approximate enroll- ment in grades from I to IV of seven hundred and forty pupils, three hundred and twenty-one are under the care of their private dentists, one hundred and ninety-nine others are in good condition, eighteen have been treated at the Melrose Free Dental Clinic, four have been to the Forsyth Dental Clinic and one hundred and ninety-seven have not been treated. In the higher grades the percentage of pupils who have had repair work done is much larger. When this work was first taken up it was only occasionally we found a pupil in any of the grades who had ever visited the dentist.


There has been a noticeable decrease in the number of pupils having enlarged glands of the neck. Thirty minor operations, generally for tonsils and adenoids, have been performed during the year.


Respectfully submitted, JENNIE M. IRVING, Public Health Nurse.

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR .


There have been aided by the department during the past year, 290 persons, 109 adults, 181 children, (52 families).


To the uninformed it may appear that because of the present fav- orable industrial conditions the applicants for aid would be limited to an insignificant number: but such is not the case. Even during the most prosperous times there are those who, through the influence of misfortune and very many more so, through intemperance, with its far reaching evil results, are brought face to face with poverty.


As a matter of fact, public sentiment demands and the Legislation, enacted in recent years, provides for more adequate relief than was the case a few years ago, and the Overseers of the Poor are in a great measure compelled to follow the trend of the times.


It requires special efforts to keep the expense down to a small per capita cost while at the same time treating in an efficient and humane manner all cases to be dealth with.


When application for aid is made, we endeavor to give each appli- cant a sympathetic hearing either in our office or in the home of the applicant. Among those who seek aid are many widows having child- ren dependent upon them for support; also there are families in which the father, through sickness, becomes physically incapacitated from performing any kind of work and this curtails the resources of the family. An intemperate father is the principal cause of many who apply for relief. Furthermore, there are aged people whose earning power has become insufficient to fully provide for the family needs and as many of these persons are averse to being cared for in the City Home, it becomes necessary to supplement their meagre income with an allowance.


We have been many times complimented on the neat appearance and management of the City Home by Inspectors, and visitors, and if it were not for the name "Poor Farm" it would not be so persistently shunned by aged and helpless people, who doubtless ignorantly asso- ciate the place with the traditional "workhouse" of Dickens fame. We do not see, however, why these people should be upheld in their protes -. tations by well informed citizens, who, looking at the matter fairly must see a most comfortable home for the lone destitute people whom we cannot properly care for elsewhere.


The products of the farm were in some respects better than usual. They were as follows :


Potatoes


80 bu.


Onions


7 bu.


Beets


18 bu.


Carrots


12 bu.


Green Corn (for cows )


4600 1bs.


Green Feed (for cows)


6600 1bs.


Green Oates (for cows)


388 1bs.

82


CITY OF MELROSE


Squash 1300 lbs. 20 bu.


Turnips, white


Turnips, yellow 115 bu.


Beans, white and kidney


31/2 bu.


Hay


7 tons


besides such vegetables as peas, corn, cucumbers, etc., in season for the inmates. The Melrose Hospital is supplied with all milk raised at the City Farm.


When aid is applied for, it is highly important to make a thorough investigation into the family condition, in order to be able to determine who are deserving of aid, the cause of it all, and the settlement. Even after doing so it happens that we are deceived by some persons. Some who apply for relief do so from a feeling that they are entitled to it just as well as some "neighbor," who is being aided. Others try to conceal facts upon being questioned; they think the world owes them a living and that there is no necessity for supplying information to the Overseers. In many cases it is employment that is needed, and fre- quently this is found for them.


We are aiding at the present time under the Mothers' Aid law, 18 families, containing 61 children. The amount given is from $2.00 to $9.00 per week, according to the number of children and the conditions. We are paying out under this law about $74.00 per week in cash and groceries. We are constantly in touch with these families as the law requires that each family be visited as often as four times a year. "


The Board has also among its charges ten children under the age of ten years. Other children are in the care of the Board from time to time. One child is in the State Hospital at Canton and one child at the Massachusetts Hospital School.


It has been a hard year in every respect and our expenses have increased accordingly. The reasons are obvious. The scarcity of fuel, the high prices of foods of all kinds, seem in themselves sufficient excuse for the increase in expenditures.


The Board has endeavored to deal justly and fairly with its poor and they have kept the unfortunate warm and comfortable as far as it has been in their power to do, through the unusual winter.


We are pleased to report that we are closing many cases that have long burdened our city, under the new settlement laws Chapter 669 Acts of 1911.


At the close of the year the Board was honored by being selected to administer the splendid gift of the late Mrs. A. C. Marie Currier, as shown in the following correspondence.


83


REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR


The Overseers of the Poor :-


City of Melrose, Mass.


Dear Sirs :-


At the request of the Mayor, Charles H. Adams, I herewith enclose a check for $2,500 drawn by the Trustees under the will of the late A. C. Marie Currier, which under the twenty-first clause of the will can be applied for purposes stated, as follows: "To use the net income thereof for the purchasing and furnishing of Christmas dinners for the worthy poor families in the City of Melrose, and for the purchas- ing and furnishing of warm clothing for the children of the worthy poor in the City of Melrose."


This income may be divided between the two objects as you choose, but it is my opinion that you have not the right to use it for other ob- jects, however desirable that might be, and certainly not without the authority from the Court. The enclosed check represents the approxi- mate income of the Trust from the date of the appointment of the Trustees, September 29th, 1916, to August 1, 1917. The account has not as yet been filed with the Court, and when that has been done and the Court has approved certain charges which are now held by the Trustees in abeyance, there may be a further amount of income avail- able for the same purpose as outlined above.


Please acknowledge receipt of the within enclosure and your acceptance of the funds under the terms as stated.


Very truly yours, HENRY F. SMITH, Trustee u-w of A. C. Marie Currier"


Melrose, January 2, 1918.


Henry F. Smith,


Herinan B. Gerade,


Trustees u-w of A. C. Marie Currier.


Gentlemen :-


We acknowledge the receipt of your check for $2,500.00 the income from the gift of Mrs. A. C. Marie Currier, for the benefit of the worthy poor of the City, as stated in your letter, "To use the net in- come thereof for the purchasing and furnishing of Christmas dinners for the worthy poor families in the City of Melrose and for the pur- chasing and furnishing of warm clothing for the children of the worthy poor in the City of Melrose."


We accept this gift and this great trust and shall do our best to administer it in the spirit and within the terms of the gift."


"We are deeply appreciative of the goodness of Mrs. Currier in establishing the funds and of your consideration and confidence in our administration of it.


84


CITY OF MELROSE


It shall be our earnest endeavor to accomplish that vast good which Mrs. Currier intended and administer it with such attention, care and responsibility as shall measure up to the best standards of charity work.


We shall be much pleased at any time to furnish you with a com- prehensive statement of our accounts and to receive from you most cordially any suggestions or advice concerning it.


With sincere appreciation. Yours respectfully, ADALINE G. REED, Chairman."


We would express our appreciation for the work and services rendered by the City Physician in co-operation with this Board.


The Melrose Hospital has also rendered valuable service to our outside poor and inmates of the City Farm during the past year.
