1922 Valuations and Rate
When the Board took office there was an existing tax rate of $36.20 on the valuation of $53,728,550 real estate, and $7,184,055 personal property, making a total valuation of $60,912,605. The Board, believing that this tax rate reflected undervaluation of properties, both real and personal, throughout the city, undertook a complete revaluation of all properties in the city, real and personal, on April 1, 1923, and was actually engaged in this field work up to August 1, 1923.
1923 Valuations and Rate
The result of this canvass showed a valuation of the city on April 1, 1923, as determined by the assessors, as follows:

25,725,600 00

This net tax levy of $2,345,068.23 to be levied on a total valuation of $82,572,825 gave us a tax rate for 1923 of $28.40 on each $1,000 of the valuation of real estate and personal property.
202
CITY OF QUINCY
The valuation was also increased by omitted real estate assessments, levied December 19, 1923, of $11,250, making the total valuation of the city upon which all taxes were assessed for the year 1923, when all assess- ments had been made, $82,584,075.
Because of assessments levied in 1922 on the so-called government houses at Quincy Point against the occupants thereof, or the holders of agreements to buy the same, which assessments were contested, it was necessary for the assessors to write into the levy of 1923 the amount of $37,252.68 to provide for the abatement of 75 per cent of these assessments, the city having compromised these disputed and doubtful assessments on the basis of collecting 25 per cent and abating 75 per cent thereof. If this had not been necessary, the tax rate for 1923 would have been 45 cents less, or a rate of $28.
By the election of our National Bank, under chapter 487, section 2, of the Acts of 1923 (now General Laws, chapter 63, section 10A), to be taxed upon its net income, an amount equal to 12} per cent instead of at the local rate of taxation on the fair cash value of its shares of stock, the city received $1,238.61 as against the tax received in 1922 of $2,993.02 on a valuation of $82,680. In other words, the city in 1923 had its personal property valuation reduced $82,680, and its revenue from this source reduced $1,754.41, by this election of our National Bank.

Automobile Registration Lists
The Board received from the Tax Commissioner's office in 1923 a list of all motor cars in the city of Quincy which were registered between January 1, 1923, and April 1, 1923. This list has been a great help to the Board in checking up the cars returned by the assistant assessors. There are now over 3,700 automobiles assessed in this city.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
JANUARY 1, 1924.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council.
I have the honor to make the following report of the transactions of the Health Department for the year ending December 31, 1923.
There were reported to this office during the year 510 deaths; 31 of these deaths were accidental. The death rate per 1,000 persons was 9.56.
Infant Mortality
Sixty-one infants died before they were one year of age. The death rate per 1,000 was 46. Twenty-seven died between the age of one and nine years. This is an improvement on former years, but more attention must be given to children under one year of age. I would recommend an extra nurse for child welfare work. The clinics have grown so large that it takes nearly all the child welfare nurse's time in arranging clinic follow-up cases and records.
Hospital
The growing tendency of the expectant mother is a desire to go to the hospital for treatment. It is quite desirable and imperative that at least twenty-five more beds be added to the hospital for obstetric cases.
It is also essential that the hospital provide at least ten beds for infants and about fifteen beds for older children.
Comfort Station
Large numbers of people gather in different parts of the city in the park and squares. There is a great deal of suffering and discomfort on account of lack of proper comfort stations. The most urgent need of a comfort station is in Quincy Square and the various playgrounds.
Foodstuffs
Milk. - A very rigid inspection of milk and its by-products has been carried on this year.
The standard of milk has been generally very good, and we have had excellent co-operation from the producers and dealers. Constructive sug- gestions have been faithfully observed. Many instances of souring of milk in the past was due to the retailers not properly icing the milk. Im- proved cooling facilities have been installed in various dairies and stores, and milk on delivery averages about 48°.
A new regulation will be in effect soon requiring the pasteurization of milk or the sale of raw milk only from tuberculin-tested cows. The sale of raw milk from non-tested cows always carries the hazard of tubercle- infected milk. Although the effect of the regulation may not be manifested at once, it should go a long way towards the future protection of the gen- eral public, especially children.
206
CITY OF QUINCY
Foods
The inspection of meats and provisions has been limited this year, but the Meat Inspector, although only a part-time man, has done excel- lent work. Great credit should be given to the local dealers who have taken an especial pride and effort to maintain a high standard of goods and a cleanly store. Without their co-operation we would be badly handicapped.
The department will be greatly benefited by the services of a full-time Inspector of Meats and Provisions. Especially is this necessary for the itinerant and out-of-town vendors who are selling within the city limits meats, fish, fruit and vegetables. It is to the credit of a sound-thinking buying public that they patronize very little the itinerant vendor, but rather some local well-known dealer.
Garbage
It has been the earnest endeavor of this department to abate as much as possible any nuisances that might arise from garbage, and bi-weekly collections of garbage have been made at all residences. Stores, hospital and restaurants have had almost daily collections. The disposal of gar- bage is getting quite difficult at the present time. It has been the custom to sell to farmers or owners of out-of-town piggeries, but we find the volume is increasing daily, and in my opinion the only way to take care of it will be by the abandonment of the horse-drawn apparatus and the collection made by light garbage trucks. The disposal would be more readily solved, even though we had to cart it to some out-of-town piggeries.
Ashes and Rubbish
This year we maintained a weekly all-year-round collection of waste rubbish and ashes. It no doubt militated towards the lessening of fire hazards in homes, and made the city and residences more cleanly and healthy in appearance.
Sanitation
The Sanitary Inspector had a busy year recommending abolition of privies, extension of sewers, house connections and the cleaning of brooks. Many eyesores have been abolished and the rapid extension of the sewer to all parts of the city is advised.
The report of the Sanitary Inspector is appended. The health and pros- perity of the city is more or less dependent on sanitation; successful in- dustries; pure water; intelligent disposal of garbage, and waste material; sewerage systems; physical, mental and hygienic education; co-operation of different departments; co-operation of the general public; police sur- veillance in alcoholics, drug addicts and mental degenerates; fire protec- tion by high-pressure systems, especially in industrial and business sec- tions; rigid inspection of noxious trade employees; cleanliness of streets, halls, homes, churches and theatres; abolishment of the open brook and prevention of its contamination; stringent rules for the screening of all dwellings and places where food is sold; and draining stagnant pools. Especial attention should be given to rotting of fruits in back yards and orchards.
Communicable Diseases
The treatment and care of communicable diseases is very difficult to control. The methods to be used should be: (1) try and protect them with some known preventive; (2) strict quarantining affected person, contacts and suspected carriers; (3) rigid school inspection, especially of absentees; (4) education of public to the dangers of spreading disease; (5) telephone reports of physicians so that an early isolation of patients may be effected.
207
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Many cases of mild scarlet fever and diphtheria are not reported because families are too poor or they think children are not sick enough to need a doctor.
Great credit is due to the personnel of the Health Department. Every one has given his best endeavor for the improvement of the department and the health of the city. I wish to extend my thanks and congratula- tions to the entire personnel of the department.
Many of the personnel of the department are underpaid. I would recommend an investigation and revision of the salaries of the entire per- sonnel of the department.
At this time I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor, the City Council- lors and other city officials for their excellent co-operation and courtesies during the year.
Yours very truly, M. T. SWEENEY, M.D., Health Commissioner.

The year 1923 has been a busy one for this department. The city is growing very fast, and the added population must necessarily make more work for this department. The recommendation of the Health Commis- sioner ought to receive serious consideration, particularly as regards trucks for our collection of garbage. The present equipment is old and needs constant repair, which is a source of great expense, and it is only a question of a short period of time when the wagons and harnesses will have to be replaced.
I wish to extend my thanks to the Health Commissioner and other mem- bers of the department for their efficient co-operation in all matters per- taining to the department. Appended you will find the report of the various inspectors and nurses; also my report of diseases and deaths reported for the year 1923.
Respectfully submitted, THOMAS G. SMITH, Superintendent of Health Department.

In addition to the duties as Sanitary Inspector I took charge of the office during the illness of the Superintendent, and did the clerical work for four months, during which time there was no clerk connected with the department; also, I filled in on the Foreman's job during one week of the vacation period.
Since October 13 I have assisted at 21 Schick clinics by keeping the records, and during the entire year I kept the six culture stations sup- plied with materials. This work has taken on an average of six hours a week.
In conclusion, I would respectfully make two recommendations:
First. - The public health demands that all privy vaults in the city (about 650) be abolished. As we cannot order a privy to be done away with unless the premises are located on a street in which there is a public sewer, and as there are now less than fifty such premises, it is essential, if more privies are to be done away with during 1924, that the public sewer be extended on the streets where there is now no sewer. Especial atten- tion, as during 1923, should be given to Ward 4, where over 50 per cent of the privies are located.
Second. - At the present time there is not an ice-cream parlor or soft- drink establishment in the city where the glasses and dishes are properly sterilized after each use. The utensils are merely dipped in soapy water which in some cases is warm, usually cold, and then rinsed in cold water. As proper sterilization is practically an impossibility, I would recommend that a regulation be adopted requiring the use of paper dishes and glasses, and that the same be destroyed after using.

The prices of meats and foodstuffs at the present time are some lower than they were the first of the year. Poultry in general was very much lower for the holiday trade than a year ago, which enabled our dealers to sell the best quality at less price.
First grade of heavy beef has not been plentiful this year on account of the high market.
Fish is sold by a large percentage of stores where meat is handled. In such cases inspections must be made more frequently. Many small blocks and stores have been built in many sections of our city, which has made an increase of stores, markets and foodshops.
More inspections have been made this year than ever before. Much time and attention have been given to seeing that all foodshops and mar- kets are clean in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Health Department.
Respectfully submitted, HOWARD ROGERS, Inspector of Meats and Provisions.
