CITY OF QUINCY


REPORT OF THE PATHOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1930 OF THE QUINCY CITY HOSPITAL


During the past year the department showed a large increase in the number of specimens examined, a total of almost 10,000 during the year. The additional number of patients since the opening of the new building and a large increase of specimens received from outside sources were essentially the factors in this increase.


Miss Frances K. Morris was appointed head technician in July, following the resignation of Mrs. Doris Goodman, who is now a student at Tufts College Medical School. Miss Denise Ryan was appointed as an assistant in the laboratory and both technicians have worked together very efficiently.


Basal Metabolism determinations have been added to the scope of the laboratory work since the purchase of the new apparatus early last year.


The laboratory unit in the new building will include the patho- logical, clinical, milk laboratory and the nurses' laboratory, ad- joined by the morgue and post-mortem room. The facilities of the unit should be adequate to take care of the hospital needs for many years to come.


The following is a detailed report of the specimens examined during the year.

Due to the deficiency in equipment, and lack of space, we have been unable to increase the efficiency of the department above its present status. We are indebted to Dr. W. L. Sargent for the loan of a diathermy machine, which has been of great help in the work.


I would like to state that I did not assume charge of the depart- ment until the last week in June. The figures for the first six months' work are 1,765 treatments, and for the last, 3,139.


It is my opinion that the new department as planned will attract many more cases.


I wish to take this opportunity to thank the administration and staff for their splendid cooperation and interest in Physical Therapy.


With added equipment and space, we of the department hope to make a much better showing at the end of the coming year.

HOSPITAL LIBRARY REPORT FOR 1930


The Thomas Crane Public Library has completed the sixth year of book service to the patients and staff of the Quincy City Hos- pital. Mrs. Zayma Connolly, the hospital librarian, left in Septem- ber with a year's leave of absence and her place is being tempo- rarily filled by Miss Marion Davis of the library staff.


In November a room in the former Ward A was given for the use of the library. This was a great improvement as the books were formerly kept in a closet in the hall. Librarian Galen W. Hill and First Assistant Miss Gertrude Callahan furnished the room attractively with book shelves, easy-chairs, a rug and bright window draperies. This room is open for the use of patients or staff for one hour and a half on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons before the librarian visits the wards.


There are 553 books and numerous magazines and scrapbooks in the present permanent collection, which is constantly being added to by the Main Library. Patients and staff are allowed to borrow any reasonable number of books from the hospital collection and requests for other books will be filled from the Main Library.

CITY OF QUINCY


The patients are enthusiastic in their praise of this service, which helps them while away so many tedious hours. The new book truck with sloping shelves makes it easier for them to see all the books at once when the truck is wheeled to their bedsides.


The total circulation statistics for books loaned in 1930 show a gain of almost 2,000 over the previous year. Number of books cir- culated in 1930:


Adult non-fiction


346 books


Adult fiction


6,850


Juvenile non-fiction

CONCLUSION


The Department suffered the loss by death during the past year of two members, Sergeant Joseph A. Delorey, who died March 14th, 1930, and Patrolman John E. Connelly, who died March 26th, 1930.


Both of these men were conscientious, reliable and hard-working officers, and their deaths are a distinct loss to the Department.


Patrolman James McNamara was promoted to Sergeant August 1st, 1930, in place of the late Sergeant Joseph A. Delorey.


The Police Signal System was extended and improved during the year by the addition of call boxes and signal lights.


New flashing warning beacons have been installed at Sea and Palmer Streets, Sea Street and Samoset Avenue, and Copeland Street, Furnace Brook Parkway.


A new type of flashing warning beacons has been installed on Brook Street at Farrington Street and at Safford Street. These were both dangerous intersections with the streets too narrow to allow of beacons in the roadway, so a signal was mounted at each corner of the streets, all of them operated from one flashing mechanism.


The traffic signals at the intersection of Hancock, Granite, Maple and Chestnut Streets have been changed from the overhead con- nected type to the pedestal type connected underground. This was made necessary by the removal of poles and overhead wires from Hancock Street.


The old Cadillac patrol wagon has been replaced by a modern combination patrol wagon and ambulance. Contracts have also been let for the replacement of the old Reo truck, which has out- lived its usefulness.


The three light coupes in use by the sergeants at nights and by patrolmen on three of the day routes have also been replaced by new light coupes. These coupes have proved to be very valuable in the work of the Department and much good has been accom- plished by their use.


I wish to thank His Honor Mayor McGrath and the members of the City Council for the splendid spirit of cooperation that they have shown in meeting the needs of the Department.
