Report of the Board of Health
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen, City of Melrose :-
Gentlemen :- The Board of Health respectfully submits here- with it's annual report for the year ending December 31, 1923.
The membership of the Board was as follows, to wit,-Clarence P. Holden, M. D., Chairman, Melvin H. Nicholls, M. D. and Rev. Lester L. Lewis.
General Health, -- From a public health point of view, the record for 1923 was a very good one; there being 235 deaths, a considerable number of which were non-residents brought to the Melrose Hospital.
Diphtheria,-There were 14 cases with 1 death.
Scarlet Fever,-There were 90 cases, most of them of a mild type, and 1 death.
Typhoid Fever,-There were 3 cases with no deaths.
Influenza and Pneumonia,-There were 3 deaths from Influ- enza; 21 cases of pneumonia and 20 deaths. 1
Rabies and Hydrophobia,-At intervals of fifteen to twenty years we have in Massachusetts, an epidemic of Rabies in dogs. We have just passed through such an epidemic. There were a few cases of undoubted rabies in dogs, and many suspicious cases were under observation. There were also many cases of dog-bite of children and adults reported, all of which were cauterized at once and if the facts warrented it, the patients received the antirabic treatment. There were 6 cases so treated in Melrose. Fortunately there were no cases of hydrophobia or rabies in humans in Melrose though there were several fatal cases in the Metropolitan district.

Vaccination,-63 vaccinations have been performed at this office and 111 certificates of vaccination issued.
Work Certificates,-Health certificates to work were given to 60 children.
MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS
Medical inspection of schools was begun in a small way for the better control of contagious diseases in general and especially the contagious skin diseases, occuring in our school children. This is still an important part of the work. Of equal importance is a general supervision of the physical condition of the child, his nutrition and his physical defects. This implies a physical exam- ination of all school children as now required by state law. All pupils of the grammar grades are now weighed monthly and all have been examined during the year, the defects found being mainly underweight, and teeth and throat defects. Through the efforts of the nurse and teachers, many children have been sent to the Melrose Hospital for removal of tonsils and adenoids and a large number have availed themselves of the Moses Page Dental Clinic at the Hospital.
Nutrition,-With respect to nutrition, milk is provided at cost to those able to pay and without cost to those unable to pay. A more intelligent supervision of the diet and feeding of children on the part of the mothers is much to be desired.
DISPOSAL OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE
With a Mayor who is a physician and who believes that the removal of household waste is an important part of municipal work, the removal of garbage as well as ashes etc. is now done by the Public Works Department with City labor. This is proving more
39
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
costly than contract labor, but in the opinion of this Board, is well worth the cost. Householders should not forget that storage on the premises and a proper separation of household waste as required by the regulations, is necessary for any economical execution of this work.
BARBER SHOPS
The barber shops have been inspected and are rated from a sanitary viewpoint as good, fair and unclean, 7 are rated good, 2 are rated fair and none are rated unclean.
DAIRY INSPECTION
All nearby dairies were inspected: 18 were rated good, S were rated fair and none were rated unclean. 110 licenses were issued to sell milk and oleo.
SCHICK WORK
With the assistance of the State Department of Health, all children in the public schools whose parents wished to have it done, received the Schick Test, and if not found immune, the toxin-an- titoxin treatment.
With about 1000 school children in Melrose immunized, actual experience during the ensuing five years will give us a demonstra- tion in our own city of the value of the Schick Test.
MOSQUITO SUPPRESSION
Under the direction of the Mayor, the Board undertook work for the suppression of mosquitoes. Of course the work was largely experimental. We were greatly favored by the fact that it was a very dry season, not at all favorable to the breeding of mosquitoes, hence with nothing done conditions would have been much better than in a wet season.
The actual work of oiling all stagnant pools and the street catchbasins, was done by the Moth Department, and was efficient and economical.
A careful survey was made of all mosquito breeding areas, with a view to future draining of the land and filling. A very bad stagnant pond near Pearl Street was drained and a considerable swamp area in the rear of the Russell estate was drained by rebuilding a conduit in Crescent Ave. Work was also begun in the drainage of a large swamp area east of Swain's Pond Ave. in the
40
CITY OF MELROSE
Maplewood district; also work has begun for the drainage of a swamp area south of Porter Street and east of East Street.
This work when completed, will pernamently take care of long- standing mosquito nuisances and will also be of great value in the future development of the sections as building lands.
BAKERY REGISTRATION AND INSPECTION
Inspection of bakeries is now required by law. There were 11 registered during the year and inspection showed that all complied satisfactorily with requirements.

Report of Board of Survey
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
City of Melrose, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :-
The Board of Survey submits the following report for the year 1923.
Petitions are before the Board of Survey relative to the develop- ment of the following tracts of land :-
Barbour Land near Spear Street, part of the Russell Estate at the corner of Trenton Street and Russell Street, and the Lynde Estate south of Wyoming Avenue between Lynde Avenue and Ravine Road. The plans of these tracts of land, when completed in accord- ance with the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Survey, will be submitted for final approval.
The L. D. Griswold Land Company is developing a tract of land east of Damon Avenue. This tract is part of a large un- developed section of the City extending from Howard Street northerly to Griswold Road, and from Hesseltine Avenue westerly to the Saugus Line.
In order to locate the streets in the L. D. Griswold Land Company's tract so as to conform to the requirements of the ad- joining estates, a survey should be made of the entire section relative to the location of streets, grades, sewers and drainage.
