REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Health Department presents herewith its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1925.
There are at least three common diseases that can be prevented. Any case of these diseases in your family means that available methods have not been used.
(1) Smallpox may be prevented through vaccina- tion. Recently smallpox has been widely spread over the country and in some places it has been of the malignant type.
(2) Typhoid fever may be prevented through the periodic injection of typhoid vaccine. "Vacation" typhoid is mounting with the increased crowding of the country.
(3) All your family can be protected against diph- theria. Your private physician will explain how.
Diseases of middle life due to "wear and tear," such ss Bright's disease, arteriosclerosis, cancer and diabetes are increasing. These diseases can be combatted by cor- rected habits and early recognition. Periodic health ex- aminations at all ages may save you from or mitigate these diseases.
There were no serious epidemics of contagious diseases, but 138 cases of measles were reported during the year. This disease, although lightly considered by many of the laity, is one of our most contagious, and its aftermaths are serious, pneumonia or eye and ear troubles often re- sulting. One reason for its rapid spread among school children is because the contagious stage is previous to the rash, and is often mistaken for light colds.
Sixteen cases of tuberculosis were reported, an in- crease of four over last year.
The number of diphtheria cases reporte ?! this year shows an increase of eleven over last year. Had the sug-
76
gestion of the Health Board in 1924 regarding the Schick- ing of school children been acted on, many of these would have been avoided.
On May 1st, 1925, a contract was made with Rutland and the Worcester County commissioners to care for all county tubercular cases for $17.50 per week. Towns and cities pay to the commissioners $7.00 per week, and legal residence must be established before admission. This is an increase of $3.00 a week over previous years and will necessitate a larger appropriation for tubercular care. The local dispensary through its physician and nurse has made every effort to get in touch with contacts and sus- picicus cases not under care of a physician. Their work can be greatly aided by the co-operation of physicians and schcol nurse. Forty-seven new patients have been exam- ined at the clinics held on Tuesday afternoon and Friday from 7:30 to 8:30 P. M.
On May 16th, William Gallagher was appointed meat inspector to assist James J. Fullum.
The collections of garbage, papers, ashes and disposal of dend animals should be under the jurisdiction of the Highway Department, in the opinion of the Health Board and we so recommend. On May 15th Mr. John Casey was awarded the contract to collect the garbage for the Town for the sum of $1,200 and was bonded for the faithful performance of his work.
The Board further recommends the extension of the sewer on Lawrence Street, as it did in the report of last year, as we have had two outbreaks of typhoid fever on that street.
A petition submitted to the Department of Public Health and referred to the State Department of Agricul- ture, concerning the conditions of the Charles River, re- sulted in a notice being sent to all interested Milford citi- zens of a meeting to be held in Dewey hall, April 25th, 1925. At this time a local Reclamation Board was formed as provided in Chapter 252 of the General Laws of Mas-
77
sachusetts and amendments thereof, and conforming to Chapter 457 of the acts of 1923.
Object-To dredge and straighten where necessary, and do away with flooding conditions along the banks of the Charles River to abutters, and make conditions a.s sanitary as possible.
The members appointed to serve on this Board by the State were: F. H. Lally, Chairman; F. P. Lee, George H. Locke, P. L. Lally, Philip Cenedella, Gilbert C. Eastman, Clerk.
At a special Town meeting held August 3rd it was voted to allow the Town to borrow $10,000 for this pur- pose. Due to a technicality in the motion as presented, it was necessary to call another meeting, which was done on October 28, when the following vote was taken:
Voted: That there be raised and appropriated the sum of $10,000.00 for the purpose of improving the un- sanitary conditions in the Charles River valley, the money to be expended by the Board of Health in carrying out the plans of the Milford Reclamation District under the direc- tion of the State Reclamation Board, and that to meet said appropriation, there be appropriated from the surplus war bonus fund, so called, the sum of $3,600.00, and the treasurer, with the approval of the selectmen, be and hereby is authorized to borrow the sum of $6,400.00 and to issue bonds or notes of the Town therefor, said bonds or notes to be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 19 of Chapter 44 of the General Laws so that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than five years from the date of issue of the first bond or note or at such earlier dates as the treasurer and selectmen may deter- mine.
Let me here commend the unanimous action taken by the Sgt. John W. Powers Post of the American Legion to relinquish all moral rights to the surplus war bonus fund, so called, and whole-heartedly assented to its use for civic
78
betterment by the Reclamation Board for dredging the Charles River.
The contract for the work was awarded to Antone & Ransome of Greenfield on November 3rd, as their bid of $7,707 was the lowest. Other bids submitted were True- love Taylor of Milford for $9,430, and Mr. Abell Stevens of Waltham for $10,420.
