REPORT OF HEALTH AGENT


The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts made several changes in the subdivision control law, Chapter 41-G, section 81-K-81-Y, this year.


The new law, Chapter 674 of the Acts of 1953, provides that the local Planning Board is required, within ten days after a submission of a real estate subdivision plan to it, to consult with the local Board of Health. If the local Board of Health is in doubt as to whether any of the land in the subdivision can be used as building sites without injury to the public health they are required to notify the Planning


165


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH


Board in writing within thirty days. This act repealed Chapter 134 of the Acts of 1952 which gave the Board of Health great responsibility in approving the proposed method of providing for a sanitary water supply, sewage disposal and drainage in each subdivision.


The Board of Health approved the plans for 8 new subdivisions in 1953.


There were a total of eighteen patients hospitalized for Pulmonary Tuberculosis at the Norfolk County Hospital and other Institutions throughout the state.


It is the policy of the Board of Health to recommend the extension of the public sewer, whenever possible, to any newly developed area of the town, before actual construction begins. Under the policy the plumbing inspector cannot issue any plumbing permits for any building to be constructed in an unsewered arca of the town until an application is presented to the Board of Health for a permit for the disposal of sewage. Upon receipt of the application a study of the area is made by the Board of Health and approval of the disposal of sewage by local means is given only if the public sewer is unaccessable or too costly to extend.


Sanitary inspections of restaurants, food stores and business establishments were conducted by local and state Inspectors throughout the year.


Institutions approved by the Board were inspected before licenses were issued. They included: Hospitals, Homes for the Aged, Nursing Homes, Day Nurseries. and Funeral Homes.


BARTLEY J. KING Health Agent


REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR


Following is the report of the Milk Inspector for 1953.


Licenses were issued for the sale of milk and cream.


Permits were issued for the sale of oleomargarine.


Licenses were issued for the manufacture of ice cream and frozen desserts.


Licenses were issued for establishments for the pasteurization of milk.


A set of rules and regulations for the handling and sale of milk and milk products was drawn up and presented to the Board of Health for approval.


Four hundred seventy-six (476) laboratory tests were made on one hundred nine (109) samples of milk and cream. The results of these tests indicate that milk and cream of satisfactory quality is being sold in Norwood. The respective milk dealers were notified of the results of all tests made on their products.


Two sanitizing tests were performed on milk bottles. The purpose of sanitizing tests is to determine the efficiency of the bottle washing. In each case the bottles were within the allowable limits.


Respectfully yours, LEONARD E. CURRAN Milk Inspector

Construction and Reconstruction


The clearance under the railroad bridge at Water Street was increased by two feet in 1952 by dropping the grade of the highway two feet at that point.


High ground water existed from early Spring until June, because we had an abnormal amount of rainfall. A large number of heavily loaded trucks pass this point going to and from Bird and Son Roofing Mill.


The new road surface was unable to withstand this combination of heavy traffic and water. This department laid drains, raised the existing catch basins and manholes to a new grade, reinforced the bridge footings with concrete and capped the street with hot top.


The gutter grade was raised in front of the Shur-Fine Market at the corner of Nahatan Street and North Avenue for a distance of forty (40) feet to make
