REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH


January 1, 1940.


HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN


Mayor of the City of Quincy


Dear Sir :-


Since during the year, there has been appointed to this depart- ment a qualified statistician, I am able to give to you in my annual report a score of the Health Department activities based on the Health Appraisal Form.


Our total weighted score for 1939 was 773.2. A perfect score would be 1000. While our previous high score was in 1936, the re- quirements since then are much more severe and our activities based on the same scoring method used in 1936 would net us a score of well over 800.


Following are the annual scores from 1926 to date:

It will be noted that all items, with the exception of Gonorrhea and Syphilis, have attained a high percentage of the possible score. The low score in this particular item is due to poor reporting of such cases by local physicians.


146


CITY OF QUINCY


I sincerely urge that in the future all physicians report all cases of Venereal diseases to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as required by law.


The year 1939 has been remarkably free from reportable diseases with the exception of Lobar Pneumonia and Pulmonary Tubercu- losis. Lobar Pneumonia had an incidence of 115 cases as compared with 82 cases in 1938, but only 14 deaths as compared with 23 deaths in 1938.


Tuberculosis, all forms, had about normal incidence in morbidity and mortality, but an exceptionally large number of cases, new and old, required hospitalization. While in 1938 we paid for 22,239 hos- pital days, in 1939 we paid for 24,316 hospital days in the same hospital, an increase of 2077 days.


We continued our publicity on diphtheria immunization and held clinics during May and June for preventative treatment. Between private physicians and these clinics we have records of 2221 com- pleting the treatment which brings us well within the safety re- quirements recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Quincy has had a splendid record on diphtheria for several years, and only because of immunization through coopera- tion of the local physicians, and parents with the Health Depart- ment.


The citizens of Quincy owe a real debt of gratitude to ex-Mayor William Bradford and the committee composed of so many indi- viduals and organizations that have fought so long to eliminate the pollution of our beaches. They have earned a signal victory in the recent legislature in having the North and South Metropolitan sewer systems corrected so as to purify the sewage before it is dis- charged. I earnestly hope that they will continue their efforts until the Moon Island outlet is also corrected.


In July we moved into our new quarters, at no increase in rent, and our new equipment including proper filing facilities was in- stalled. We are very thankful for these new facilities, as we will be able to take proper care of our records, something we were not able to do in the past.


For a number of years we have had a nurse who divided her time between the parochial schools and tuberculosis work. Upon her leaving the department this past summer, Miss Russell assumed the entire load of tuberculosis cases and the other three nurses each took a parochial school in addition to their regular work, thus eliminating the need for such a nurse on our pay roll. While the idea is experimental, I am of the opinion that it will work out sat- isfactorily.


Early in the year Mr. James O'Dowd who had been with the de- partment for 22 years was voluntarily retired. A temporary ap- pointment to his position was given to John J. Curtin and later in the year was made a permanent appointment.


In May, Ivan H. Poole was appointed statistician following a civil service examination.


On May 29, 1939, one of our long time employees, Howard 'Rogers, died in the Quincy Hospital after an extended illness. He had been a faithful employee of the city in the capacity of meat and food inspector for many years, serving as a part time inspector for some years and recently as a full time employee. Frederick Carey


147


REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH


served the balance of the year in his place, on a provisional ap- pointment. Following the establishment of a civil service list, Clar- ence Edwards was appointed in his place to become effective Janu- ary 1, 1940.


In conclusion I wish to thank all departments for their splendid cooperation with us and particularly the School Department.


Much of our success this past year in our varied programs can be attributed to the excellent publicity given them by the Quincy Patriot Ledger.


RECOMMENDATIONS


I. For the fourth successive year, I again urge the installation of an incinerator to burn the refuse collected in the city. Each year the public dumps are becoming more obnoxious to people living in the vicinity as well as to people passing by. Rats and other pests infests these places and spread to properties, sometimes to a con- siderable distance and are a frequent cause of complaints to this office, as well as a nuisance and menace to the people living nearby. In my opinion we should avail ourselves of any Federal funds that may be available, while the opportunity exists, for the erection of such a plant.


II. That the city provide regular and capable supervision at all public dumps, and, that dumping be allowed only during certain hours when it is under supervision. At the present time much organic substance that attracts rats and vermin is being dumped, particularly by stores and individuals picking up rubbish from stores. Proper supervision so as not to permit this sort of material being dumped would be worthwhile.


III. That the Health Department have the opportunity to ap- prove equipment and facilities of all establishments serving alco- holic beverages, prior to the granting of a license. At the present time we are not aware of new places starting; and, usually there is a lack of proper facilities when the place is eventually discov- ered. It is much easier to get proper installations before the licenses are issued; and, in every case the establishment would be properly equipped before doing business.


IV. To continue the efforts to eliminate pollution of our bathing beaches. Much was accomplished by the final passage of the State Legislature of a bill to purify sewage before it is dumped in the harbor from the North and South Metropolitan outlets; but the worst condition; that of the Moon Island outlet for the City of Boston is still unsettled.


V. I also urge the voluntary inoculation of all dogs against rabies. During 1939 rabies in animals has been on the increase, particularly in the other end of this county, as well as Worcester County. Personally, I feel this expense should be borne by the dog owners, rather than saddling the expense on every tax-payer, many of whom own no dogs. If rabies continues to spread, it may be necessary to restrain all dogs not properly inoculated each year.


VI. The further instruction and education of parents at all times and places possible, in regards to prenatal care as well as infant and pre-school hygiene and welfare.


Respectfully submitted,


RICHARD M. ASH, M.D., Health Commissioner.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH


MORTALITY STATISTICS


Death and Death Rates. During the year 1939, there were 671 deaths that occurred in Quincy, 19 more than in 1938. Based on the estimated population of 81,553, the crude death rate was 8.2 per 1000 population, as compared with a crude death rate of 8.1 per 1000 population in 1938.


Of the 671 deaths in Quincy, 76 were non-residents. There were 154 Quincy residents who died outside of the city; so that the num- ber of resident deaths for the year was 749 as compared with 750 for 1938. The corrected or resident death rate was 9.18 per 1000 population, a slight decrease over last year. The tables for 1939 are based on residential deaths; the non-resident deaths being ex- cluded and resident deaths occurring outside of Quincy being in- cluded.


Sex. Of the 749 resident deaths for 1939, 397 or 53 per cent were males, and 352 or 47 per cent were females. The proportion of males in the living population shown by the United States Census of 1930 was 49.3. Based on this ratio the male resident death rate for Quincy in 1939 was 9.9 as against a rate of 8.5 for females.


Age. Of the 749 deaths in 1939, 34 or 4.5 per cent were of infants under one year of age. More detailed information of infant mor- tality is in a following paragraph and in Table 5. Other age dis- tributions will be found in Table I.


Nativity. Sixty per cent of the decedents were of native birth and 40 per cent were foreign born.


Infant Mortality. The infant mortality rate for Quincy in 1939 was 30.44 against 37.3 per 1000 live births in 1938. The following figures show at what time of the first year of life these deaths occurred :


First day 14 deaths or 41.2%


Less than 1 week but more than one day. 3 deaths or 8.8%


Less than 1 month but more than one week. 7 deaths or 20.6%


Less than 6 months but more than one month .. 7 deaths or 20.6%


Less than 1 year but more than 6 months ..


3 deaths or 8.8%


34 deaths or 100.%


Of these 34 infant deaths, 16 were caused by premature birth, injury at birth, and other diseases peculiar to early infancy. There were 5 deaths from congenital malformations. Table II will show under what division these and the balance of 13 deaths were classi- fied.


Births. There were 1117 residential births during 1939. Resident births in Quincy 806, resident births outside of Quincy 311, and 153 non-resident births in the city.


Heart Disease, as usual, was the leading cause of death, with 247 or 33 per cent of the total, and a rate of 302.9 per 100,000 popula- tion. In 1938 the rate was 293. per 100,000 population.


Brights Disease and Nephritis caused 44 deaths for a rate of 54 per 100,000 population. The rate for 1938 was 60.9 per 100,000 population.


150


CITY OF QUINCY


Cerebral Hemorrhage, Embolism and Thrombosis were the cause of 87 deaths, with a rate of 106.7 per 100,000 population as against a rate of 94.3 in 1938.


Cancer and Other Malignant Tumors caused 120, or 16 per cent of the total. The 1939 rate was 147.4 as compared with a rate of 136.4 per 100,000 population for 1938.


Pneumonia (All Forms) accounted for 48 deaths, for a rate of 58.9 as compared with a rate of 68.5 for 1938 and 73.4 for 1937.


Tuberculosis (All Forms) was the cause of 35 deaths for a rate of 42.9 per 100,000 population. Table IV shows vividly the declining death rate for this disease.


Maternal Mortality. Deaths classified as maternal took only one life this year; indicating a rate of 8.8 per 10,000 total births. This is a remarkably low rate.


Reportable Diseases. The number of deaths and death rates from contagious and infectious diseases for 1939 are shown in Table III. The death rates for certain of these diseases since 1878 are shown in Table IV.


Automobile Accidents and Injuries caused 7 residential deaths for a rate of 8.6 per 100,000 population as against 9 residential deaths for this cause in 1938. Also there were 2 deaths of non- residents from accidents occurring in Quincy.


BIRTH STATISTICS


There were 1117 residential births during 1939. Resident births in Quincy were 806, and resident births outside of Quincy were 311. This gives Quincy a birth rate of 13.7 per 1000 population. In addition there were 153 non-resident births in Quincy.


The history of the facilities used by expectant mothers in the cases of child-birth have more than reversed themselves in the last 20 years. In 1919, 942 or 75 per cent of the births of Quincy resi- dents were in the homes and 316 or 25 per cent occurred in hos- pitals: while in 1939, 46 or only 4 per cent of the Quincy births occurred at home and the balance of 1071 births or 96 per cent occurred in hospitals. This 1939 record is remarkable, in that the rate for births in hospitals throughout Massachusetts in 1939 was 78 per cent and births in homes 22 per cent. In addition there were 11 non-resident births in Quincy in 1919: six of them being born in the Quincy Hospital; while in 1939 there were 153 non-resident births in Quincy; 143 of which were in the Quincy Hospital.


In Table 9 are figures showing the continuous growth of hos- pitalized obstetric cases for the past ten years as well as the in- crease in such cases in the Quincy Hospital.
