The inability to procure building materials has necessarily curtailed sales of property. But I find that all of the parcels sold were bought with postwar build- ing intentions.
There are still many desirable parcels of land and every day there are requests and prospective customers are encouraged to buy. My office is open at anytime for persons interested in purchasing City property.
There are several requests by persons willing to buy City owned buildings which have been abandoned, consensus of opinion is that they will be remodeled for living apartments if the City will sell them.
I wish to thank all those members of City Departments for the many cour- tesies extended to me during the year.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Health Department
The report of the Health Department, for the year 1944 is herewith respect- fully submitted.
Education in health is a modern municipal health department service. Disease prevention to be successful must be brought about through the channels of education. With this fact in mind, the L'epartment conducted a food handler's training course in January and in April, with a total attendance of well over seven hundred. These courses are designed to train the food handler so that he may be a factor in preventing those who eat food in his respective establishment from be- coming ill.
The annual diphtheria prevention Campaign was instituted by having 13 clinic sessions, 5 in South Attleboro and 8 at the city hall office. The school de- partment rendered valuable assistance by distributing our health literature to all of their students in the entire school system so that our message for diphtheria prevention could reach every home with school children. It has seemed necessary that the Health Department know what percentage of the children in the city are inoculated to prevent diphtheria so that the department may judge and do what it deems necessary to prevent the occurence of this disease. With this end in view, all children have been visited after 1 year of age for the past three years, and a record kept whether these children are immunized or not. Parents of those not treated are urged to have it done. Indications are that many parents in Attleboro are not fulfilling their responsibility. As long as Attleboro has unprotected in- dividuals, children are in danger. This disease is constantly circulating in any community. and it is the responsibility of the parents to have their children im- munized against this dreaded disease.
Our future attention will be concerned with the improvement and the ex- tension of essential environmental sanitation projects. An educational rodent control program will be launched in the Spring so that the public will realize the menace caused by rats and the importance of their extermination
Our immediate concern is for the collection of garbage in the entire city-to South Attleboro, Hebronville, Dodgeville and Briggs Corner sections of the city.
For post war consideration the department strongly considers the need for:
1. Municipal collection of rubbish.
2. Establishment of a comfort station near business center.
3. Mosquito control.
4. Permanent rodent control.
5. Reclaiming rat and mosquito-infested swampy land-flood and sanitary walling of the rivers in Attleboro.
6. Extension of sanitary sewage system to all sections of the city.
The report of the Bacteriologist and Inspector, the Health Nurse, Dental Clinic, Inspector of Animals and Slaughtering, Inspector of Plumbing and tables of vital statistics follow.
Very respectfully submitted,
Jesse W. Battershall, Health Officer
