the inspector of buildings, and an expert at plumbing, to be appointed by the board of health. This board appointed Dun- can C. Green, the inspector of plumbing, to fill the place of expert. The number of licenses granted will be found in the report of the inspector of buildings.
Health Nurses
There are at present five nurses employed by this board. Two of these are employed as school nurses and the work of the others consists of followup work regarding tuberculosis cases and post-natal hygiene work, together with other work connected with this board.
The reports of the school nurses are made a part of the report of the school Committee and those of the other nurses are made a part of this report being submitted in detail in subsequent pages.
Infant Hygiene Clinics
During the past year under the supervision of this board, clinics have been held every Tuesday afternoon at the Edger- ly Schoolhouse, every Thursday afternoon at the Bennett Schoolhouse, and every Friday afternoon at the Bingham Schoolhouse except when the days were holidays. The at- tendance for the year at these three clinics was 5018. The average weekly attendance at the Edgerly Schoolhouse was 28, at the Bennett Schoolhouse 22 and at the Bingham School- house 48.
This work is of inestimable value and the results are very far reaching.

Tuberculosis
During 1927 there were 38 deaths from Tuberculosis in- cluding all forms, 34 of which were of the pulmonary type. This record shows a slight increase over the previous year when 35 deaths were reported.
All patients ill with the disease coming to the attention of the Board have either been supervised at their homes by the Public Health Nurses, or have been placed in sanatoria when such treatment was needed.
The tuberculosis ward at the Contagious Hospital which was closed on September 1, 1921 on account of the small num-
373
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ber of patients in the hospital, was opened from June 28th to September 3, as a Preventorium for children who were under nourished or lived in families where tuberculosis cases existed.
During this time 96 children were residents at the Prev- entorium for a total of 1089 days, the average stay being 11 days. Much good was accomplished among these children, marked improvement being observed in their physical condi- tion, and it should be maintained each summer.
Infant Hygiene Clinics
On January 1, 1922 the board with the approval of His Honor the Mayor, assumed the care of the Infant Hygiene Clinics previously maintained by Somerville Chapter of the American Red Cross. These clinics have been held on Thurs- day afternoon at the Bennett School and Friday afternoon at the Bingham School throughout the year. On September 29, 1925 a clinic was established at the Edgerly School and has been held on Tuesday afternoon weekly. · An average attend- ance of 48 at the Bingham School, 22 at the Bennett School and 28 at the Edgerly school has been attained. 541 new babies have been under supervision at the clinics where advice has been given to the mothers by the attending physician, and in many instances the infants have been visited at home by the Public Health Nurses in order that the advice may be properly followed out. This work is unquestionably of great value in conserving the health of new born infants.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK L. MORSE,
Medical Inspector and Bacteriologist.

Gentlemen :
I submit the following as my report for the year ending December 31, 1927.
Inspections
The following table shows the number of inspections made during the past year. In order to safeguard the con- sumer, all establishments handling foodstuffs are under con- stant supervision. Lunch cars and restuarants have been in- spected weekly.
Under the provision of the General Laws of 1920 all bakeries are required to register with the Board of Health. The law provides that all doors and windows shall be properly screened and that all food exposed for sale shall be kept covered. Careful inspections of all bakeries have been made to see that this law has been compiled with.
All the factories in the city have been inspected monthly.
The Barber Shops are under very careful inspection and must be kept in a sanitary condition, and the barbers are re- quired to keep themselves neat and clean and to properly steri- lize their instruments.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK AND VINEGAR
Chemical and Bacteriological Laboratory, City Hall, Somerville, Mass. January 3, 1928.
To the Board of Health,
Somerville, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I herewith present my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1927.
On the above date there were licensed to sell milk, 753 stores and 50 dealers; and 153 stores were registered to sell oleomargarine. Of the 50 dealers handling milk and cream, 17 were located in Somerville and 33 were located in neighbor- ing cities. 46 were pasteurizing according to the General Laws. 9 dealers sold cream exclusively, 2 were wholesalers, and 2 small producers sold milk from tuberculin tested cows. There were approximately 40,000 quarts of milk and 4,000 quarts of cream distributed in Somerville daily.
The following tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 are a summary of the work for the department for the year.

During 1927 license fees and fees for analysis amounted to $773.50. There were in 1927, 4545 laboratory examinations of milk products, 3261 microscopical examinations of milk specimens by the Slack Method.
Each month during the year pint samples have been taken from every milk dealer and analyzed for food value (fats and solids) and cleanliness (bacterial count and sedi- ment).
The higher the fat and solids the greater the food value. The lower the bacterial count, the greater care in production, better handling, or more efficient pasteurization is shown.
By calling the office of the Milk Inspector these figures will be cheerfully quoted.
During the year the Legislature added Chapter 259 to the Acts of 1927. This is an act to establish regulations gov- erning establishments for the pasteurization of milk and gives the State Department of Health the power to make regulations and the enforcement is left jointly with the State Department of Health and the Local Board.
380
ANNUAL REPORTS
There are in this city nine such establishments and each is licensed according to law. The cooperation of the dealers has been excellent although in some cases the outlay was con- siderable to bring the establishment to the necessary perfec- tion. We believe however that any law giving divided author- ity of enforcement is not fundamentally sound and that the enforcement of any state law or regulatory measure should be left with one body only.
While two of my recommendations of the last two or three years became this year State Law there remain several matters which I urge this board to support:
1. Operators of pasteurizing machines should be li- censed by an examining board.
2. Controls for pasteurizing machines should be auto- matic.
3. Recording charts on pasteurizing machines both for milk and ice cream should cover a period of ten days and be under the control of the Board of Health and sealed by them.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT E. BOWMAN,
Inspector of Milk and Vinegar.
