Annual Report
REPORT OF THE CITY TREASURER 1963
To His Honor, the Mayor, and Members of the Municipal Council
Gentlemes:
The trea mier herewith presents his annual report for the year ending December 31, 1967.
For the past few years the treasurer, with assistance of his staff, has invested idle funds of the city. This procedure is allowed by Chapter 44 Section 55 of the General Lav's but is not a duty required of the treasurer. Your treasurer, through timely investments, has produced revenue amounting to over $23, 000. 00 .
Another wir vies performed by this office is that of administering to the Blue- Cross-Blue > held and Life Insurance program for city employees. This office is actually required to withhold and transmit monies to these two agencies. However, there are many personal problems involving proper settlements with hospitals and doctor's which this office bas had to assume as there is no other agency of the city to complete this work. An administrator of insurance should be appointed to as: re this Juty.
The demands on the services of the treasurer's office and the city clerk's office require the they occupy separate areas. The personnel and equipment of cach office are janund in a space hardly large enough for one office alone.
My thank : go out to my loyal clerks and to both the staff of the city clerk's office and the city , enographer's office for their cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Edward J. Healey City Treasurer.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1963
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Municipal Council City of Attleboro, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Health Department herewith presents for your examination and approval its 49th annual report for the year ending December 31, 1963.
Generally favorable health conditions prevailed in our community during the past year, and our population on the whole enjoyed a good state of health.
The number of live Attleboro births during 1963 was 550 (279 males and 271 females), marking a decrease of forty-four over the preceding year's baby crop. Of the total, 498 were born at Sturdy Hospital and 52 were born in hospitals outside the city. Twenty-nine premature babies were born to Attleboro parents, and in compliance with state law the Health Department granted $2, 234 for the hospitali- zation of eight of these infants, whose parents were unable to meet the expense due to extensive care needed.
General mortality decreased in 1963 with 289 deaths recorded as compared to 313 the previous year. The total included six stillbirths and 79 residents who died out of the city. Of the total, 150 were males and 139 females. Over 73% of all deaths occurred among the over-60 age group, more than 61% were persons 70 years of age and older, and 25% lived beyond the age of 80. These percentages reflect the nation-wide, long term gains in longevity brought about by advances in medicine and public health, and the rise in living standards. Major causes of the deaths were the same as in all recent prior years, namely: Diseases of the heart, cancer and cerebral diseases. These three leading causes totaled 178 deaths or over 61% of all deaths in our city. Nine accidental deaths occurred in 1963, an increase of two over the toll recorded in 1962. Motor vehicle accidents accounted for three of these, one train accident, a drowning, and four falls were responsible for the remaining fatalities.
During 1963, the reported incidence of communicable diseases was relative- ly mild. The Health Department received reports of 523 cases as compared with 750 the previous year. Average years were reported for most of the common child- hood diseases. Two hundred and 31 cases of chicken pox (nearly 50% increase over 1962's figure) provided most of the total. Ninety-six cases of mumps and 33 cases of scarlet fever provided the next highest totals. Also recorded were one case each of Salmonellosis, Meningitis and Infectious Hepatitis. A case of Asiatic Flu re- sulted in one reported death from a communicable disease.
As in the previous three years, a predominant health activity of 1963 has been our immunization programs. During January, March, May, June, and October 6100 children and adults received Type I, Type II, and Type III of the Sabin Oral Vaccine. . At a make-up Triple Antigen clinic held in January 59 child- ren were inoculated. Also, in December the Department administered flu shots to 45 city employees.
No polio cases and only one whooping cough case were recorded in the city for the past year, reflecting, we believe the efficacy of our immunization pro- cedures and the cooperation of our population in taking advantage of the available facilities and services for immunization.
52.
Annual Report
Annual Report of the Health Department continued-
Our Health Agent, in addition to routine inspections covering eating and drinking establishments, food stores, bakeries, markets, ice cream and soft drink manufacturing plants, convalescent and nursing homes, overnight cabins and trailers and swimming pools, also collected milk, cream, food and water samples for laboratory examination.
Increased population created many more environmental health problems, i. e. , water supplies, sewage disposal, nursing services. Our laboratory is over- burdened with the various analyses now being performed, such as municipal and private water supplies, food, milk and dairy products, swimming pool water and restaurant sterilization tests. The increased use of private sewage facilities and the enforcement of the Massachusetts Sanitary Code, Article XI, has taken a tremendous amount of our Health Agent's time - licensing, inspecting and ap- proving the plans and checking percolation testing procedures. More inspections of public places such as Nursing Homes, Homes for the Aged, Farm Labor Camps, Summer Camps, etc. are needed.
To comply with the above needs, meetings with Massachusetts officials in Public Health have recommended the addition to our staff of a full-time Sanitary Inspector for work in conjunction with other municipal sewage and drainage con- nection inspections, a part-time nurse to carry out more public immunization prograins, and an office laboratory worker to assist cur Health Agent in his lab- oratory work.
Complaints regarding housing, insect and rodent control, air pollution, litter and nuisances in general were investigated, and where public health nuisances were found to exist, they were promptly abated.
Our Public Health Nurse has participated in a variety of health programs where knowledge of public health nursing has been essential to the success of the depart- ment's health activities. Nursing service was provided to two parochial schools with an enrollment o' 740 children. All the children were weighed and measured and given the Massachusetts Hearing Test. First grade students in both schools were given the Heaf Test for tuberculosis. Home appraisal visits in the interest of the premature infants were made by the nurse, and other home visits were made in relation to communicable diseases, crippled children and child health. In addition, the nurse continued our tuberculosis control program based on case find ing, hospitalization of infectious cases and follow-up of all known cases not hospi- talized.
Biologic and culture outfits obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health were distributed to local physicians. These are available at Sturdy Hospital where our Health Nurse keeps a close check on supply and demand.
Our Dental Clinic, in addition to routine service of the annual survey and class- ification of teeth of 3720 public and parochial school children of the first six grades, looked after the dental health of the children of these grades whose parents were unable to provide private dental care for them. Of a total of 2272 referrals of children requiring early dental care, 322 were accepted for treatment at the clinic for the 1963-1964 school year. The high number of referrals each year indicates a continuing dental health problem, which might best be solved if our city adopted a safe and effective method for the prevention of dental caries through fluoridation of our water supply.

Annual Report
Report of the Health Department continued-
Our Plumbing Inspector and his associate have conducted their inspections in a manner satisfactory to all. The total inspections, 889, were higher by 23 than those of 1962.
The report of the Animal Inspector shows he had another busy year. Dog bite cases investigated by him totaled 117, eight above last year's figure, and 1444 animals were inspected by him at 37 premises.
The work of caring for the city dump is being satisfactorily carried on by Mr. Dumont, who holds a contract extending to September, 1966. Our rat control program at the dump keeps the rat nuisance problem there at a minimum.
The garbage collection service provided by Correia Brothers continued good during the past year, with a minimum of complaints recorded.
The department expresses its sincere appreciation of the cooperation and assistance given by the City Government as well as the public and private welfare agencies and all others who in any way contributed to the maintance and promotion of a high standard of public health protection in Attleboro.
A detailed account of the activities of the department staff and usual tables of statistical data will be found in the following reports.

REPORT OF THE HEALTH AGENT
Fernand L. Girouard, M. D. Health Officer Health Department Attleboro, Massachusetts
Dear Doctor Girouard:
Herewith submitted is the annual report of the Health Agent and Milk Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1963.
During the year, many new problems in environmental sanitation and depart- mental organization presented themselves. Some of the new problems in environ- mental health included: Refuse Disposal, Air Pollution, Housing, Occupational Hygiene, Control of Industrial Hazards and Health Education.
Our department's laboratory has become overburdened with analysis of muni- cipal and private water supplies, food analysis, milk and dairy product analysis, swimming pool water analysis, and restaurant sterilization tests.
The increased use of private sewage facilities and the enforcement of the Massachusetts Sanitary Code, Article XI, has caused a tremendous amount of time to be spent in licensing, approving, and inspecting these systems.

Annual Report
Report of the Health Agent continued
Public programs in Health Education have included: Food Workers Schools, Nursing and Emergency Food and Water Supplies, Spring Clean-Up Week Campaigns, Rat and Pest Control, Sewage Systems, Incinerator Proposals, Health and Safety Air Pollution, and Health Science in public school systems.
Meetings with Massachusetts officials in public health have disclosed the need for more public immunization programs such as: Well Baby Clinics, Nutrition and Health Clinics, Triple Antigen Clinics, Small Pox Revaccination Clinics. The need for more inspection of public places such as: Nursing Homes, Homes for the Aged, Farm Labor Camps, Summer Camps, etc. was also pointed out by State officials. Better statistical records of community health problems are also needed.
The Health Department has not grown since before World War II. The public has demanded more services in public health nuisances. Increased pop- ulation creates more environmental health problems, i. c. , water supplies, sewage disposal, nursing services.
During the year a twenty- year employee resigned as secretary to the Department to accept a better position.
Our nursing program was restricted due to a leave of absence of our Public Health Nurse. At the same time the training of a new clerk and secre- tary and part-time replacement nurse temporarily restricted our ability to function effectively at the end of the year. Budgetary problems, incinerator problems and routine office procedures served further to lower the morale of the organization.
To get the department on the move again, I, therefore, recommend: - (1) That a reorganization of the department be made along the lines suggested by Dr. William Groton, District Health Officer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has suggested that a sanitary inspector, part-time nurse, and office laboratory worker be added to our staff. He has also suggested, with your approval, a reorganization to include yourself as Health Director, and an advisory public health council working through an executive health agent to carry out programs and procedures. This reorganization would enable the de- partment to accept the challenges of today's public health problems.
(2) That a program be developed to show the individual employee's " responsibilities and future goals.
(3) That regular meetings be established between yourself and this de- partment in order to eliminate confusion.
The Massachusetts Health Officers' Association and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health have presented to you their Recommended Minimum Standards for local health services.
The budget prepared for 1964 was prepared with these problems in mind. I sincerely hope that our department can accept these challenges and give the people of Attleboro a bett. rhealth program.
Respectfully Submitted John R. Harvey, R. S. Agent and Milk Inspector
