REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT


January 2, 1934.


To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree :


The Board of Health hereby submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1933.


For some time there has been a need of an office in the Town Hall for the Board of Health. In March the Board conferred with the School Committee and secured permission to use the School Department rooms. On April first the office was moved, new files were purchased, and since then we have been working to increase the the efficiency of the Department. We have an office which is open during regular business hours, and we have made an honest attempt to inves- tigate all complaints reported to us. It takes consid- erable time to perfect this new organization. We be- lieve we have progressed far during the past year. We hope in the next year to improve that much more.


With the Town growing so rapidly, and with the sewer being connected, there is an increasing need for a Health Officer-a man with a regular salary- who can devote all his time to supervising the general health conditions of the Town and take care of the work now done by the Agent and the various inspec- tors, who can devote only a small portion of their time to the work. He would take care of inspections, investigations, calls, contagious diseases, settlements, and follow-up work on complaints. The expenses to the Town would not be so much greater than at pres-


198


ent, and the Town would be repaid by a more efficient Health Department.


We wish to take this opportunity to thank the School Committee and the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Fisher, for their generosity and co-operation in al- lowing us the privilege of using their office to carry on our work, and in permitting us to have their secre -. tary take care of our clerical work.


The first week in March was made "Clean-up Week" for the Town. The Board of Health enlisted the co-operation of the various town departments and civic organizations in their efforts to clean up and beautify the town. Unsightly places were cleaned up and posted with "No Dumping" signs. The school children and citizens were urged to clean up their property, and put the rubbish in barrels for collection by the highway trucks. We wish to acknowledge with a great deal of appreciation the co-operation re- ceived from the Selectmen, Mr. Austerberry and the rest of the Highway Department, the School Depart- ment, the Philergians and other community clubs, in this project.


Up to the present time the bids for the collection of garbage in the Town have been received in April, the contract running from May 1 to April 30. Under these conditions all bidders have known how much money has been appropriated for the year, and base their bids on that amount. All bids for collection of garbage have run at practically the same figue. Our idea is to receive bids in February for collection of garbage from May 1 to December 31, 1934, and in December, 1934, receive bids for the collection of gar- bage for 1935. We hope in this way to be able to get more competitive bids on garbage collection.


199


During the year of 1933 only 181 cases of con- tagious diseases were reported, as shown in the Sec- retary's tabulation. This is a remarkably low figure ; in the past five years the next lowest number reported was 429, in 1928.


At the Diphtheria Clinic held in June, 307 chil- dren were inoculated, 59 of whom were pre-school children.


Only one case of diphtheria was reported during tthe year. We believe this to be the highest recom- mendation possible for the continuation of the Clinic.


One hundred seventy-one school pupils on the- follow-up list of the Chadwick Clinic have been weighed every three months by the school nurse, Miss. Mary Collins. The State Department of Public Health has conducted regular examinations of those on the. follow-up list.


We heartily recommend an appropriation for Tu- berculosis follow-up work locally on suspects and con- tact cases, as a protection for the health of our citizens.


We are pleased to report that the records and detail work in this department, as performed by our secretary, Miss Mackenzie, were very well done. It was very pleasing to have her co-operation during the past year, and it is our endeavor to increase her small salary, as her duties have increased considerably.


Respectfully submitted,


DWIGHT A. CHANDLER, Chairman: JOHN J. ATKINSON THOMAS J. HENSHON, Clerk

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR


January 2, 1934.


To the Board of Health of the Town of Braintree:


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit my report as Milk Inspector for the Town of Braintree for 1933 :


Permits issued 80


No cases of milk born disease have been reported during the year.


Most of the milk sold in Braintree is handled by the larger distributors. There are, however, a few small concerns whose milk, together with that of the larger distributor, should be periodically analysed and the results published in the local papers. I recom- mend that a sum of money be appropriated for this work.


Respectfully submitted,


HAROLD W. RIPLEY, M. D. Milk Inspector.
