The Auxiliary Police force has been expanded to about one hundred members at the present time. This force has been of great assistance to our department on the occasion of parades, concerts, and at the Blue Hill cemetery display, in the handling of traffic. This detail is given them as part of their training program which includes instruction in Law, Use of Firearms, First Aid, etc.


Our accident record for 1951 shows we had 295 accidents including two fatals. In 1950 we had 270 accidents including five fatals. It is pleasing to note a decrease in fatal acci- dents during 1951-and we shall strive to reduce this record during 1952.


During the year we have made many highway Safety Suggestions and have received splendid cooperation from the Selectmen and the Highway Department in carrying them out.

Tree Warden JOHN F. LEETCH, Tree Warden


We are gradually making progress in the care of our trees. There is, however, a great need of general care and planting of new trees to replace those lost to storm, disease and other causes. We have lost many of our best trees in the past few years due to disease. We have lost much of the beauty once enjoyed by all. We should do everything in our power to retain and increase the tree population of the town, to bring back Braintree's lost natural beauty.

Sealer of Weights and Measures CALVIN E. YOUNG


I herewith submit the annual report as required by the General Laws, Chapter 98, Section 34. A total of 916 seal- ings, adjustments, etc., were made during the year 1951. In addition there were 2,303 inspections and reweighings. Sealing and adjusting fees totaling $616.15 were turned in to the Town Treasurer.


In these days of high prices it becomes most important that the shopper observe the weighing of their purchases. I have found no evidence of dishonesty in any of the Brain- tree markets, yet being human and rushed the clerks some- times make mistakes. The trend to prepacking of meats, cheeses, etc., makes this practice simpler. A label, giving the weight, price per pound, and the total price, is wrapped with the product, making it an easy matter for the pur- chaser to see that they are getting full value for their food dollar.

Board of Health


HERBERT B. HOLLIS, Chairman


HARRISON T. SMILEY, Clerk JOHN J. ATKINSON DEANE R. WALKER, Agent


Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Brain- tree Board of Health for the year ending December 31, 1951.


Braintree Chest X-Ray Survey: The Braintree Board of Health, together with two other sponsoring organizations namely: Norfolk County Health Assn., and Braintree Visit- ing Nurse Assn., in collaboration with an organization of


104


Incorrect


civic minded citizens comprised of the following: Co-Chair- men: Mr. H. Irving Charnock, Mr. Lester W. Lindblow ; Committee Chairmen: Mrs. J. Davis Shuster, Mr. Ralph Proctor, Dr. Arthur P. Sullivan, Mrs. William R. Westland, Dr. Edgar L. Copp, and Mr. Olof Olson, conducted a Mass. Chest X-Ray Program for the Town of Braintree. Some 5200 citizens of Braintree had X-Rays taken. The entire program was conducted in a most efficient and business-like manner.


1


Eating and Drinking Establishments: The overall re- sults of the program for the inspection of eating and drink- ing establishments, including the School and Industrial Cafeterias indicate a steady and healthy graph of improve- ment. A bi-monthly test of all establishments were made and the results of these tests (bacteria count) were for- warded to each establishment. In the event a high bacteria count was recorded, an immediate re-check test was con- ducted, and steps taken to remedy questionable sources of high incident.


Milk Testing: Once each month samples of milk were taken from dealers delivering milk in Braintree. These samples were tested for butter fat, total solids, phosphatase, bacteria and coli. These tests reveal that the milk being delivered in Braintree maintains a consistently high level. It is pleasing to report that no milk-borne disease has oc- curred in Braintree for quite some few years.


Communicable Diseases: The continued low incident of communicable diseases in Braintree is an item of pleasure to report. The highly co-operative and efficient assistance given by the Braintree Visiting Nurse Association and the Braintree School Department Health Division has, to a large extent, been responsible for this commendable situa- tion.


Diphtheria Clinic: The Diphtheria Clinic held in the spring was unusually well attended. Some 110 children had the triple antigen shots of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, and some 646 children had the booster shots administered con- sisting of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. Those children administered by their own doctor were 299 in number, mak- ing in all a grand total of 1055 children having had the necessary shots, in contrast to 653 children in 1950. Again the co-operative agencies of the Braintree Visiting Nurse


105


Association, the School Department nurses and the attend- ing physicians served to make this clinic a success.


Dental Clinic: This exceptionally worthy clinic is gradually expanding year by year. Under the very able personal supervision of Mrs. Sabena Arsenault, Dental Hy- gienist, and with full co-operation of the School Department and the local Dentists this clinic is showing excellent results.


At the opening of the school year dental examinations were given to all of the pupils from kindergarten through the eight grades. Following the examinations, notices went home to the parents of those children who were found in need of dental attention. On the notices it was requested that all parents arrange for the work to be done by their family dentist, and those unable to do so could apply for the services of the school clinic.


Each request for clinic services was carefully studied and taken up with the teachers of the school where the child was in, also the district principal, building principal and the school nurse, further, these cases were brought to the Visiting Nurse. Association for their investigation be- fore finally accepted.


From time to time appropriation films are shown to the children evaluating the importance of all-round dental health. The New England Food and Dairy Council loaned a new educational colored and sound film on "Dental Health" which was shown to grades four (4) to six (6). During the course of the year other films will be shown to the other grades.


Space does not permit a complete recapitulation of the dental reports for each school, but such is available at the Health Office, and would gladly be shown to those who mani- fest an interest in this vital clinic.


Once again the Town of Braintree can be proud of the accomplishments of their Dental Clinic.

Included in the above is 858 feet of pipe installed by the Braintree Housing Authority to serve 18 houses on Erickson and Pantano Streets. The sewer in Conrad Street was con- structed by and at the expense of the developer. The sewer in Cedarcliff Road was constructed by N. Cibotti & G. Andreassi Company under a contract made in 1950. The work on Storrs Avenue was done by the Sewer Department. The remainder of the construction work was done under a unit-price contract with John Williams Company the lowest of nine bidders. The work was started April 24 and Com- pleted December 13, except for some minor repairs.


107


Sewer Department :


A considerable quantity of ledge was encountered in Bellevue, Brookside, and Cedarcliff Roads, which required drilling and blasting. On Acorn Street, Birchcroft Road, Howie Road, and Stonewood Lane, a fine beach sand satu- rated with water was encountered. This soil had all the characteristics of quicksand and required the use of well- point equipment.


Where ledge is encountered, the work progresses slowly, and there is a great deal of noise and dust from the continu- ous drilling and blasting of the rock. Also, where wellpoint equipment is used, it is necessary to run the pumps con- tinuously for several weeks at a time, and there is the constant noise of the exhaust from the gasoline engines, and the wellpoint pipes block driveways and walks. The Sewer Department and Commissioners sincerely appre- ciate the willing and cheerful spirit of cooperation shown without exception by the many people who were so greatly inconvenienced and annoyed by this year's work.


The total cost of the completed work amounted to $108,815, or an average of $13.17 per linear foot. This year's work made the sewer available to 145 more dwellings. There are now about 6,550 buildings in the Town of Brain- tree. The present system of sewers is available to only about 3,290 buildings, and of these, 2,258 are connected.


Assessments:


177 Sewer assessments, amounting to $45,883.11, were levied. Assessments against property on Conrad Street, where the sewer was constructed at the expense of the developer, were levied at 60 per cent of the normal rate in accordance with the adopted policy of the Sewer Board. No assessments were levied against property of the Braintree Housing Authority on Erickson and Pantano Streets.


Highland's Survey :


Under an appropriation made at the last Annual Town Meeting, a start has been made toward surveying Braintree Highlands for a comprehensive sewer layout. The work is being done by Metcalf & Eddy, consulting sanitary engineers of Boston. Additional funds will be required to complete the study of this fast-growing section of the Town.


House Connections :


There were 206 sewer connections, totaling 10,115 feet, made by the department during the year at a total cost of $39,670.66. In addition, the Braintree Housing Authority


108


constructed eighteen connections to their buildings on Erick- son and Pantano Streets. These buildings of the Housing Authority are to be served by a pumping station which they have had under construction for some time. There were 38 applications for connection on file at the end of the year that will have to wait until next spring before work can be started.


On Elm Street, near Bower Road, four connections were extended to the street line before the street was widened and resurfaced. On the easterly end of Howie Road, all of the connections were extended to the street line before the whole street was resurfaced.


Maintenance :


Early in January the department had to move all its equipment and supplies from the old reclamation plant, which had been leased from the railroad for a number of years. The Selectmen, upon request of the Sewer Board, assigned the old barn in the rear of the infirmary for the use of the Sewer Department. The Highway Department had been using one-third of the main floor space in this barn for salt storage and were unable to find any other convenient salt-storage space. However, at considerable inconvenience to themselves, they made room for us to store our large compressor, station wagon, and new generator set in the Highway garage. In spite of these arrangements, there is still insufficient room for all of our equipment, and it is necessary to store a number of pieces out of doors.


A new 40-kilowatt, portable generator set was pur- chased in October. Wiring changes were made at the Brook- side Road and Common Street pumping stations so that they can be readily operated from the new generator in the event of local power failure. The generator will be available to other departments of the town for emergency use.


The Common Street pumping station is operating very close to the present capacity of the pumps. The area served by this station has been rapidly developed during the past few years, resulting in a large increase in the flow to the station. The capacity of the present pumps can be doubled by changing the motors and installing larger impellers.


At the Brookside Road pumping station Smelt Brook again overflowed its banks during the fall rains, and water rose about twelve inches above the door sill of the station, but no damage was done to any of the electrical or pumping equipment.


109


During the winter months all of the main and lateral sewers were inspected and cleaned. There were no stop- pages in any of the main lines. Eight sewer connections that became blocked by root growths were promptly cleared. Nine manhole frames along Washington Street were raised to conform to the new street grade. Two of these frames that showed cracks were replaced with new castings.

The Plain Street Sub-station was completed as sched- uled and the primary voltage feeders to the Braintree High- lands section was increased from 2.4 kv. to 4.16 kv. This improved the low voltage condition in that area.


The Town Meeting of June 25, 1951 authorized the Town to borrow $1,500,000 to finance the enlargement of the Electric Lighting plant. This enlargement was made necessary and imperative by the large and rapid increase in demand by all classes of service, especially with the addition of the new residential load of ranges and hot water heaters.


The major part of the generating and boiler equipment has been ordered and promised for delivery in the late Sum- mer or Fall of this year. The plans for the new addition to the building to house this equipment are nearing completion and building operations are scheduled to start by the first


115


of April. Providing there is no delay in delivery of critical materials, the Department hopes to have this generator operating before the end of 1952 or early in 1953.


The total number of services for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1951 was 7476 an increase of 273 over the year 1950.


Following is presented the essential details showing the physical and operating conditions as prepared in accordance with the annual report to the Department of Public Utilities.
