I am in hopes that the town will see fit to provide a clerk for the Board of Health Agent and School Nurse. It would give me much more time to visit the various parts of the town. Clerical work has to be done in order to evaluate your work.
If the townspeople have any problems in health matters that they would like to discuss with me, it is hoped that they will not hesitate to do so.
In closing let me thank the Board of Health for their assist- ance.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINA N. SIMPSON, R.N. Board of Health Agent.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford.
The board organized for the year 1946 with Brendan M. Bor- rows as chairman; Leonard S. MacElroy as Secretary and with Ray- mond H. Greenwood as third member.
The following appointments were made:
Miss Christina N. Simpson, R.N .- Agent for the Board of Health also School Nurse.
Mr. Daniel Haley, Inspector of milk.
Mr. George E. Gagnon, Inspector of plumbing.
Mr. Patrick Haley, Inspector of meat.
Mr. Gilbert Perham, Inspector of meat.
Mr. Asa L. Lovering, Inspector of meat.
Board of Health Physicians: Dr. Arthur Scoboria, Dr. J. Edmund Boucher.
A Diphtheria Clinic was held in the Spring with a booster dose available in the late Fall. For all those who were unable to take advantage of the first clinic, another was held in the early Winter. The booster dose and second clinic were thought advisable due to the outbreak of diphtheria in surrounding towns and cities.
The contract for the collection and disposal of garbage was awarded to C. J. Harvey. The contract was for $4800.00-a saving of $800.00-the contract for 1945 being $5600.
Several conferences concerning health topics with State and County officials have been held by your local board.
The affairs of Health Department were handled throughout the year by the Board, its Agent and appointees to the best interest of the townspeople-this was possible due to the splendid co-oper- ation of the citizens.
Our meetings are open to all citizens of the town.
To those officials of other departments, for their co-operation during the year, we extend our thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
BRENDAN M. BORROWS, Chairman, RAYMOND H. GREENWOOD, LEONARD S. MacELROY, Secretary.
