REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
JANUARY 1, 1939.
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN
Mayor of the City of Quincy.
Dear Sir :-----
As predicted in my last annual report, a large epidemic of scarlet fever occurred during the first half of the year. For the entire twelve months, 824 cases were reported. Of these, 543 cases were reported during the first three months, which constitutes a record high report for any consecutive three months for this city. This resulted in a greatly increased cost for contagious diseases hospitalized at the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital. During the year 140 patients were sent to this hospital, all but eight of them being ill with scarlet fever. This is an increase of 150 per cent over the number of patients sent to that institution the previous year. Fortunately there were no deaths, due largely to the mildness of the disease. However, this lack of virulence created greater problems in the control of the disease as it was very easy for cases to be undetected. I wish to thank and commend the School Department for their vigilance in checking on children re- turning to school and for finding many cases that would not have been discovered otherwise. The epidemic subsided in the early summer and only a normal amount is being reported at present.
At the present time, indications point to a more than normal prevalence of Measles this winter and spring. A considerable number of cases are being reported in Wards 5 and 6. We have been expecting for several years, an epidemic of Measles in Wards 1, 2, 3 and 4, because there has been a minimum of the disease in those wards since 1928, with the exception of a little higher prevalence in 1934. With the unusually large group of non-immune children in these sections it can be expected, that with any great number of cases reported from the north end of the city, that it will spread to these parts, in which event, an epidemic of consid- erable proportions may reasonably be expected.
Again we have had a year without Diphtheria. The last case reported was on March 16, 1936, or nearly three years ago. To the best of my knowledge, there is only one city in Massachusetts, having a population over 50,000, that can claim an equal record. This is due entirely to the splendid cooperation of doctors, parents, and the School Department, with our immunization program. To maintain the proper margin of safety we must have at least 30 per cent of the children from six months to four years old im-
138
CITY OF QUINCY
munized and 70 per cent of the five to nine year group. At the present time our records show that 32.3 per cent of the younger group have received treatment and 75.7 per cent of the older group. To continue above this safety mark will require our going into the schools with the program again, this year, and an ex- tended effort on those less than five years old.
Hospitalization of tuberculosis patients continues to grow. On January 1, 1938, we had the following number of patients at the three hospitals used by us, as compared with those hospitalized at the present time:

In addition we have two parties waiting for admission to Lakeville. As these are usually long term hospital cases, our only hope in staying within last year's expenditure for contagious di- seases, is that we will be reasonably free from cases sent to the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital.
I regret to state, that the baby conference at Squantum had to be eliminated on account of lack of attendance, otherwise, our clinics have functioned smoothly and efficiently.
After many years of loyal service to the city, Mrs. Nettie D. Fowler was retired for disability. I have also recommended, at his own request, the retirement of James O'Dowd after 22 years of service in this department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I. I realize that with the rising costs of government it will probably be impossible to create a health centre this year. Never- theless, I wish to have it borne in mind by the city fathers, for possible future action. A health centre would combine all of our activities in a central location and would lend itself to more efficient and ideal programs.
II. To again call to your attention the need for a larger central office and proper equipment for same. As mentioned last year, our furniture is all antiques acquired from other departments that have been properly modernized, and give anything but the proper appearance one expects in an up-to-date health department. We have practically no filing equipment and many valuable records are simply stacked in bundles and would be a severe loss in case of fire. I have included items in our budget to take care of this, with the approval of yourself and City Council.
III. To continue the diphtheria immunization program, so suc- cessfully carried on for many years in Quincy, and with such gratifying results.
IV. To continue the effort by this city to effect the purification of our coastal waters by the elimination of discharging sewage in its present form.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
V. To further improve the drainage of low spots where there is stagnant water at many times.
VI. To again urge the importance of prenatal care and in- struction, and to recommend the services of the prenatal clinic to expectant mothers.
VII. To continue Dental Clinics as in the past.
VIII. To encourage and urge the voluntary annual inoculation of dogs against rabies. In case of an unsatisfactory number of animals being treated, I would recommend compulsory inocula- tions.
IX. For the third successive year, I emphatically urge the in- stallation of an incinerator plant to burn the refuse collected in the city. With the unhealthy conditions and unsightly appearances that always go with public dumps, together with the ever increas- ing objections to such places, it is a question of only a short time when the disposal of rubbish will be a very troublesome problem, due to the objections of people in the immediate vicinity. I believe that we should take advantage of any help that we might be able to get in the way of Federal assistance, while these means are available.
Respectfully submitted,

CITY OF QUINCY
JANUARY 1, 1939.
DR. RICHARD M. ASH, Health Commissioner.
Dear Doctor :-
Attached are reports of the various activities of the Quincy Health Department.
This office has been through an exceedingly difficult year. There was a considerable amount of serious sickness in the department, that made a considerable amount of changing of duties, temporari- ly, on account of the Scarlet Fever epidemic. Sickness and disability required the pensioning of two of our long time employees, Mrs. Nettie D. Fowler and James O'Dowd.
As usual, in addition to my office duties, I have taken care of sanitary inspections, settlement investigations, conducting of diphtheria immunization work and other duties. I wish to thank all members of the department for their splendid cooperation during this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD E. PORTER, Agent.

Based on this ratio the male resident death rate for Quincy in 1938 was 9.7 as against a rate of 8.8 for fe- males.
Age. Of the 750 deaths in 1938, 44 or 5.9 per cent were of in- fants under one year of age. More detailed information of infant mortality is in a following paragraph and in Table 5. Other age distributions will be found in Table 1.
