Report of the Board of Health


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Milford:


The Board of Health respectfully submits the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1955.


Dr. Nicholas J. Capece was re-elected Chairman of the Board for the year at the organization meeting on March 8, 1955. Other members of the Board are Frank Calzone and Harris Tredeau.


The appointments were as follows: Clerk and Agent, Benjamin N. Colabello; Nurse, Alice Fitzpatrick; Physi- cian, Eugene E. Allen; Dentist, Dr. Joseph MacLellan; Plumbing Inspector, Charles J. Ferrate, and John F. Pow- er, additional Plumbing Inspector; Burial Agent, Oscar Ayotte; Meat and Slaughtering Inspector, Nelson C. Dion; Emergency Slaughtering Inspectors, Frank W. Leonard and Philip Roy; Person to Receive and Report Contagious Diseases, Benjamin N. Colabello.


During the year twenty-four regular meetings two special meetings, and several conferences were held.


Contracts for the collection of garbage were awarded to John Molinari for three years for $12,000.00 and to James Ferrucci, for three years for $10,000.00.


Under the new regulations regarding collection of Garbage, beginning Jan. 1, 1954, the collected material must be cooked before feeding to hogs. We are complying with such regulation, but, find that the garbage collection costs have risen.


The Food Handling Training Course was not given by the State in 1955, but, preparations are being made to co-operate with the State Dept. of Health in such a course for 1956.


[119]


As a result of the course held, correct methods of washing, sanitizing and storing eating utensils, dishes and glasses are being stressed, together with the proper handl- ing of sanitary paper service, safe practices in serving food and personal hygiene.


The Rodent control program at the town dump is being carried out so that an expert exterminator conduct- ing the work is producing satisfactory results.


The Board of Health is working on the feasibility and advisability of fluoridation of the local water supply as a means of helping reduce tooth decay and will give the report at the next Annual Town Meeting.


The Mass. Vision Eye Test apparatus is used to as- sist visual problems in our school children and is extreme- ly helpful.


In conjunction with the Mass. Public Health Dept. the Salk Vaccine Program was instituted and injections were given to first and second grade.


Our Town suffered fortunately not too severe a Polio Epidemic. 42 cases in all for the year. Of all cases of Paraletic and Non-Paraletic we are thankful that we had no ferlorities. Some of this can be attributed to the Salk Vaccine.


Chest X-Rays for T.B. were conducted at all the fac- tories in the Town of Milford.


The Board of Health was called in by the Highway Dept. to designate a number of areas in the Town as hav- ing Health hazards as a result of the flood August 19. 1955.

Report of the Tree Warden and Insect Pest Control Superintendent


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


I herewith submit my annual report on the care and removal of trees, the planting of trees and the Insect Pest Control program.


I have had to cut down 9 maple trees that were dis- eased and dead. Have also trimmed a large number of maples, oaks, and ash trees.


I have cut down 7 elms that were diseased and topped 11 trees that were diseased; I did not have enough money for taking the other 11 elm tree stumps down.


On the week of December 31, Mr. Lawrence Laven- dure, District Moth Superintendent, and I checked the elm trees in town on public and private property and there were 16 dead elms on public property and 64 on private property. We also took samples on 26 suspected trees and sent same to the Shade Tree Laboratory in Am- herst. It will be 3 or 4 weeks before we hear from them, but we will have to figure at least 90 per cent will be af- fected by the Dutch Elm Disease.


On the week of April 14, I bought and planted 20 rock maples and 10 European linden trees.


Brush was removed from the roads in the outlying section of the town.


I did not do any spraying this year as the state took over and sprayed the town by airplane.


Poison ivy spraying was done from June 24th until July 7th. The poison ivy control program is included in the insect pest control program now under Chapter 660.


[127]


In closing I wish to thank the various departments of the town for their cooperation during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,

There were 55 cases of dogs investigated and quaran- tined for having bitten people, however, no sign of Rabies was reported in any of the cases.


As required for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in accordance with Section 19, Chapter 129 of Gen- eral Laws all barns containing livestock in the Town were inspected and found to be satisfactory.


In conclusion I wish to thank the Board of Health and the citizens of Milford for their cooperation during 1955.


Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH C. FABBRICOTTI, D.V.M. Animal Inspector

Report of the Board of Sewer Commissioners


To the Citizens of Milford:


We respectfully submit our report on operation, main- tenance and construction work of the sewerage facilities of the Town for the year 1955.


COLLECTING SYSTEM


Routine flushing of branch sewers was accomplished. Other work on the collecting system, constructed by the Town, was limited to the addition of an 18-inch parallel sewer on the main sewer in Depot Street for 100 feet, and to 200 feet of 8-inch extension in Wood Street, and 1139 feet of 8-inch sewer serving Congress Terrace and includ- ing an interceptor from Westbrook Street.


In addition to these sewers constructed under ap- propriations by the Town, a number of extensions were constructed by private developers in the following streets:


South Richard Street 525 feet


Iadarola Avenue


615 feet


Nancy Road


376 feet


Della and Grace Streets


256 feet


Street A - off Metcalf Ave.


200 feet


Grant Street


70 feet


Metcalf Avenue


260 feet


Rosenfelt Avenue


820 feet


3122 feet


Total length of sewers now in operation is 31.743 miles, plus sewer extensions in La Voie and Walker Ave- nues. Fifty-five (55) additional service connections were installed, with a present total of 2451.

PUMPING STATIONS


Bids are being received for installation of new pump- ing equipment to increase the capacity of the Medway Road station, with the present equipment to be retained for use in other locations. The work will be accomplished in the early months of 1956. Routine maintenance was accomplished at the Charles Street Station, and funds have been made available for repair of overflow head wall damaged by flood, with repairs to be made as soon as conditions permit.


TREATMENT PLANT


The treatment plant has been in routine operation, but in continued overloaded condition. Some flood dam- age occurred during the heavy rain storm of this year, with funds for repairs from Flood Relief sources. Recom- mendations for major improvements and increased capaci- ty at the Treatment Plant will be presented for action at the Town Meeting of 1956, to enable to plant to handle the increasing demand for sewerage extensions and in- creased sewage flow. A main sewer measuring flume was installed near the plant to determine actual sewage loads.


PROPOSED EXTENSIONS


Extension of the system in Dilla Street is proposed to take advantage of the reconstruction of this street by Chapter 90 operation, to avoid future costs of pavement replacement and disruption and to eliminate present un- sanitary connections to water courses.
