REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK AND VINEGAR.


OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK AND VINEGAR, City Hall, January 1, 1912.


To the Board of Health of the City of Somerville :-


Gentlemen,-I herewith present my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1911.


On the page following, table A shows partially the work accomplished by this department during 1911. Early in the year a regulation in regard to the washing of all milk containers was approved by the board of health and became operative as Section No. 19 of the Milk Rules and Regulations adopted in 1910. The regulation is as follows :-


Section 19. All persons engaged in the sale of milk, cream, skim- milk or buttermilk having the possession or custody of a bottle, can or other receptacle used in the sale, delivery or transportation of milk, cream, skimmed milk or buttermilk, shall cause every such bottle, can or receptacle to be cleaned immediately after the same has been emptied, and no such person shall deliver, receive or have in his pos- session or custody any such bottle, can or receptacle so used which has not been cleaned as aforesaid.


Copies of this regulation were printed on heavy cardboard, and with the assistance of the agent of the board and the in- spector of animals and provisions a copy was posted in each store where milk is sold. In addition, several thousand small cards were printed and distributed to the milk pedlers to be handed to the consumer.


With the assistance of Dr. Charles M. Berry, agent of the cattle bureau, screens have been installed in each milk stable in this city. In all cases where bacteriological, chemical, or sanitary notices have been sent out, subsequent inspections have been made to see that the improvements were permanent.


During the year thirty-seven dealers have discontinued selling milk and eighty-three stores have changed owners.


At the present time one-sixth of the dealers in Somerville sell bottled milk, which is about double the number selling in bottles at the beginning of 1911, the remainder selling loose milk, i. e., from dip tanks or cans.


Dealers who were found selling loose milk not of good standard quality were advised to discontinue this unsanitary and dangerous method and to sell milk in sealed bottles only.


Twenty-seven dealers did so, and without exception had no further trouble.


The dealer should be particular to carry both quarts and pints. When a quart bottle is opened and part sold, the same danger exists from contamination and careless mixing as when loose milk is sold.


It would greatly assist this department if consumers would refuse to purchase milk from dealers who handle it in any other manner.

Infant Mortality.


The infant mortality of Somerville is low when compared with cities of equal size. The claim has been made that nine- tenths of the deaths from enteric diseases are caused by dirty milk. This is not true in Somerville.


During the months of July, August, and September there were twenty-six deaths in Somerville of children under eighteen months of age from digestive troubles. Of this number, only two were fed on cow's milk, previous to receiving medical treatment, one was breast-fed and the balance had been fed on proprietary foods, condensed milk, crackers, cereals, pota- toes, etc.


These deaths were of course due to improper feeding, but only a very small percentage could be traced to fresh cow's milk.


Quality.


The quality of the milk sold in large cities like our own has for the past few years been steadily improving, and has never been so good as at the present time. We are able to select from the different grades milk to meet all requirements. The price varies from nine cents to sixteen cents per quart ; the better the milk and the more sanitary the handling, the higher the price. When the consumer realizes that cheap milk is the most expensive, because the most dangerous, that clean, fresh milk is worth all it costs, and that he gets several times the amount of nutriment that he can in any other article of food for the same money, then there will be a demand which will be promptly filled; in other words, we have at present the supply of clean, fresh milk, but not the demand on account of a few cents extra cost.


Dealers.


I wish to call the attention of the milkmen to the fact that in many cases the bottles are not subjected to a sufficiently high temperature to kill bacteria if it is present.


In taking the temperature of the water used in bottle washing, I find both the soapy and the rinse water to be be- tween 90 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not high enough. Pathogenic bacteria are not killed at a temperature under 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If bottles are contaminated with infectious material and pollute the wash water, any num- ber of bottles may become infected, and an epidemic started in this manner. This danger may be overcome by having the last water at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit and keeping the bottles in it for twenty minutes. If the temperature is higher they will require less time.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


Bacteriology.


During the year 1,024 samples were examined bacteriologi- cally. Many of these samples were plated with Agar and counts taken, and all were examined microscopically. In many cases where the samples were found to be contaminated, inves- tigations were carried on to determine the type of bacteria causing the trouble. Where it was impossible to accomplish this result, the dairy supplying the milk was subjected to a rigid inspection.


During the winter considerable trouble has been experi- enced from frozen milk, and the death of several infants has been laid to this cause, whether with good reason or not re- mains to be proven, however, extreme temperatures should be avoided in handling such a perishable article of food, and when frozen milk is received great care should be exercised in thawing. There are certain organisms which increase at ex- tremely low temperatures. If more care had been exercised to prevent the milk freezing on the wagons, some of this trouble might have been avoided.


Most of the difficulty found by this department is due to careless handling, and very little from direct contamination from infected animals. Carelessness at the farm, in transporta- tion, by the milk distributer, and last, but by no means least, the consumer are some of the causes.


While it is the place of the municipality to see that the public obtain PURE, CLEAN MILK, it is the consumer's place to see that it is kept CLEAN.


The records of this department are open to the public, and any information required can be readily obtained by applying at this office.


Condensed Milk.


Owing to the increasing popularity of this article of food, it is fitting that a word should be said in regard to its purity and chemical contents. When diluted as directed by the label, condensed milk is supposed to represent cow's milk of good standard quality and to be practically free from bacteria. Pro- fessor James O. Jordan and Dr. Mott, of the Boston board of health, carried on some extensive experiments which were very enlightening.


Samples were purchased in the open market, diluted with sterile water as per directions on label, and then analyzed both chemically and bacteriologically. Twenty-six samples were examined chemically, and only four proved to be above standard in butter fat and three in total solids, leaving twenty- two out of twenty-six examined of inferior quality chemically. These same samples contained from 900 to 10,000,000 bacteria per cubic centimetre (one-fourth teaspoonful) when examined bacteriologically at the same laboratory, and this in a product


303


HEALTH DEPARTMENT.


supposed to be sterile and advertised as a perfect food for in- fants. Another point is the cost of this article per quart when prepared according to directions. By many it is supposed to be much cheaper than raw milk. From figures compiled by the same chemists, after diluting fifteen different brands in the proper proportion to make milk corresponding to the Massa- chusetts standard, it is shown that only one brand cost as low as nine cents per quart, which is the prevailing price at present for ordinary market milk. The samples examined ranged from nine to fifteen cents per quart, so it will be seen that, from an economical as well as a health point of view, it is a questionable practice to use this article as a food for infants.


Oleomargarine.


There are eight dealers licensed to sell butterine in Som- erville until May 31, 1912.


Vinegar.


The standard of cider vinegar was reduced by the legis- lature of 1911, and stands at present as follows : Solids, 1.8 per cent .; acetic acid, 4.5 per cent. All the samples submitted to this department were of good standard quality.


Samples of milk not of good standard quality were ob- tained from the following dealers during 1911 :-

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


Somerville, Mass., December 31, 1911.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :---


Gentlemen,-In accordance with our usual custom and the requirements of the city ordinance, we beg herewith to submit our annual report for the year 1911, containing the report of the general agent for the miscellaneous account and that of the warden of the city home, showing receipts and expenditures. The much-needed addition to the city home, providing proper accommodations for our temporarily sick or disabled, is now in process of construction, and we would extend our thanks to his honor, the mayor, and the board of aldermen for their generous appropriation.


Beyond ordinary repairs, there seems little need for addi- tional expense at the home this year.


We recognize and are glad to testify to the careful and economical management of the different departments. After twenty-three years of able and most conscientious service, sev- enteen years as its president, E. B. West retires from our board. For these many years of most faithful service our city is certainly under much obligation. Other members of this board and those in this department feel that they voice the feeling of our city in extending to him our most hearty thanks, to which we would add our feeling of personal appreciation and regard.


Very respectfully,


E. B. WEST, Overseers A. W. EDMANDS, of the H. F. CURTIS, Poor.


REPORT OF GENERAL AGENT.


Somerville, Mass., December 31, 1911. To the Board of Overseers of the Poor, Somerville, Mass .:-


Gentlemen,-As the board has kept in touch with the work of the department during the year, there is nothing remarkable to report at this time. We have expended during the year $24,169.59 in both accounts, or $363.28 more than in 1910.


We have expended in the miscellaneous department for the benefit of poor families as follows: Food, $4,705.25; fuel, $573.48; medicine, $245.26; the board of sundry persons in private families, $1,018.98; burials, $143 ; paid other towns and cities the sum of $2,689.45; cash paid out,-mostly in emer- gency cases,-$160.34; paid Massachusetts Hospital School, for care, treatment, and schooling of two boys, the sum of $326.28. The two accounts, City Home and Miscellaneous, closed the year with a balance of $70.34. An out of town bill is left unpaid, amounting to $500. Another matter is unset- tled which may call for nearly as much more, so I think it would be well to ask for at least $1,000 more in 1912 than we had in 1911.


As usual, a large majority of the families whom we are aiding are composed of widows and small children. Fre- quently we are called upon to help a family when the husband has deserted, and sometimes when the man is out of work. If he happens to be a man along in years he is generally willing to do some work for the aid given for his family, but if a young man he is apt to object, and sometimes refuses. In such cases it will hardly do to let the family suffer, so we do the best we can in the case, and bring as much pressure to bear as possible for him to either work at the city farm or some other place to pay toward the support of the family. If there was some steady place for the wife to work to pay for what she receives, I think she would do so willingly in many cases, but she generally has all she can do at home.


On the whole, we have had a very busy year. The set- tlement of all hospital cases has to be looked up; notices sent, if they are not city cases; bills made, etc .; also the board of health cases all have to be passed upon unless they pay their own bills. This work is increasing to such an extent that we will be obliged, I think, to have extra help in the office a large part of the time.


Owing to an accident to Miss Lewis, who has been em- ployed as secretary for many years, Miss Kenneson, a civil


309


SUPPORT OF POOR DEPARTMENT.


service girl, took her place, and, although the secretary was able to resume her work after being absent about three months, yet it seemed necessary to retain Miss Kenneson, as there was plenty to do, especially as we have been revising our 8,000 his- tories and have them about half done at the close of the year.


The relations in the department have been very har- monious and pleasant, and I wish again at this time to thank all the members of the board for the pleasant relations that have existed.


Tables showing details are annexed.


Very respectfully,


C. C. FOLSOM, . General Agent.
