REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH PHYSICIAN
So many of the duties of the Health Physician are per- formed with the assistance of the Board of Health nurse, it would be a duplication of reports were I to enumerate them all here. I will however cover the more important activities in their chronological order.
33
On January 12th a typhoid fever case was investigated, and hospitalized outside of Milford.
May 29th approximately one hundred individuals in the Plains district were made acutely ill from eating contam- inated cream puffs, which were bought from pastry peddlers who came in from out of town. Dr. Eugene Allen, chair- man of the Board, immediately took all precautions for the welfare of the ill and the apprehension of the vendors. On May 31st, Dr. Henry De Wolfe, a District Health officer, and myself visited the families of those considered the sickest, and procured the facts relative to their illness; and June 6th to 9th I procured certain specimens for analysis at the State Laboratory.
Later reports from the State Board of Health showed that there were no Typhoid Bacilli Groups present, hence no serious aftermath. The cause of the acute enteritis may have been due to staphylococcus contamination of the cream filling in the puffs. This outbreak should be a warning to the townspeople to be most careful in the purchase of food, and to patronize only reputable firms.
At the public vaccination clinic held in the rooms of the Health Board on June 9th and 16th, 120 children were admitted.
The Toxoid clinic was conducted in the John C. Lynch Auditorium of the High School on Sept. 20th, Oct. 3rd, 9th, and 16th. 223 children received the three injections; 17 received but two, a total of 703 injections.
During the months of October, November and December, 1162 children in the St. Mary's and Sacred Heart schools were given physical examinations.
Seventeen cases of dog bite were reported to the local health department the past year. But one dog was known to have had rabies and it was quickly quarantined and dis- posed of later. No case occurred in humans. There has been a steady increase of cases of dog bite in the past three years, which leads me to again recommend a yearly dog clinic, where, by the payment of a small fee, dog owners might have their pets inoculated against rabies, thus pre- venting the disease in dogs, and its spread to humans.
34
Many permits have been signed each month for children to return to school, after absence due to illness. In Janu- ary 35-February 22-March 37-April 22-May 10-June 10-September 6-October 30-November 28-December 32. A total of 232.
We have been most fortunate not to have had any serious outbreak of communicable disease. Chicken pox has per- haps been the most prevalent but no deaths resulted.

REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR
January 4, 1940.
To the Honorable Board of Health : Gentlemen :
During the year of 1939 I received and investigated a number of complaints in regard to the installing of plumbing by unlicensed plumbers, or so called handy men.
These complaints were investigated and the parties con- cerned were warned that their next offence would be fol- lowed by court summons of my part.
The same parties have been warned before for instal- ling plumbing and water pipes without having a license to do so.
As stated in my report of the year 1938, there was, and still is a lack of sanitary conditions in many of the store and office buildings in our town and I recommend that some means be used to force said owners to install enough toilets in said buildings to accommodate the tenants especially where women are employed.
I am still cooperating with the local water company in eliminating any possibility of any cross connections in our local supply and have their full cooperation in this matter.
During the year 1939 I have collected in fees issued $166.50 which was turned over to the Town treasurer.
The following permits were issued and after work was installed, duly inspected and approved by me :
Toilets

Lavatories
