BOARD OF HEALTH.
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1914.
In submitting its annual report the Board calls attention to the following table showing the diseases dangerous to the Public Health that have been reported for the past five years. Those for the year 1914 are printed in bold face type, and tell their own story. The reader is asked to go over this report carefully. The report shows the conditions which existed and tells how the Board has met them.

It will be seen by the above that contagious and infecious dis- eases have dropped from 259 in 1910, to 34 in 1914. There is doubt- less a reason for this. What is it ? What is the health department
48
Ipswich Town Report.
doing now that it did not do in 1910 ? And, is what it is now doing responsible in any degree for the low percentage of these diseases in 1914 ?
For the first time since the adoption of our new plan in the spring of 1913, we are enable to publish the results of a full year's work under that plan. Below are the things involved in that plan, none of which were employed in 1910.
1. An agent gives his full time to sanitary inspection and gen- eral work of the department.
2. A department of milk inspection is in charge of an inspect- or who looks after his job and the people of the town are getting good, wholesome milk.
3. The collection of swill and garbage is being systematically done the year round.
All these things when rightly done help greatly to conserve the health of a community. Prevention is the key note to immunity from contagious and infectious disease. Immunity may be pur- chased, it sometime comes high, but is it not better business to spend money in the prevention than in the treatment of the disease ?
Prevention has been the primary object of this Board and we have pointed out these different heads under which we have tried to make it effective. The above table while it does not furnish conclusive evidence, certainly does furnish evidence highly signifi- cant, particularly in typhoid fever.
Our contagious hospital was in use seven weeks during the year, two weeks for Diphtheria and five weeks for Polio-myelitis. In one family where there were three cases of Diphtheria it was necessary to keep the house under strict Police quarantine ; and even then the Board was constantly importuned by those within to be allowed to go out, and some without who desired to enter. A certain element of our population has not yet learned the necessity of isolation of contagious diseases, and the expensive Police quaran- tine is the only means at our command to prevent the spread of contagion and infection under circumstances like those above re- ferred to. Here again it is the prevention of the spread of such
1

diseases that is of first importance when once a case makes its ap- pearance.
Below are given the reports of the Agent and the Inspector of Milk.
AGENT'S REPORT.
Since the new plan was adopted by the Board requiring the agent to give his full time to the detail work of sanitary inspection and oversight, a noticeable improvement in general sanitary con- ditions prevails throughout the Town. A large majority seems to understand what is expected and have shown a willingness to com- piy with the suggestions made by the agent. As a result condi- ditions have been, upon the average, much more satisfactory than in former years. In every case of complaint where the agent's suggestions were not satisfactory to the parties concerned, the whole Board has taken the matter up, examined premises and general con- ditions and issued orders as to what should be done. This in practice has worked satisfactorily to the Board, and in the main to the other parties concerned. There are some who regard any orders coming from a health officer or board as a sort of personal persecution. Happily, however, such instances are few.
Dead animals disposed of :- Hens 9, cats 5, dogs 8, ponies 1, horses 2, cows 1. Total 26.
Tenement houses, ordered general repairs, 21.
Contagious Disease cards posted, 9.
Complaints received and investigated, 67.
A general inspection was also made covering the several sec- tions of the Town.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR.
In submitting my report as Milk Inspector for the year 1914, I wish to state that it has been my purpose of safeguarding the milk
50
Ipswich Town Report.
supply furnished to the people of the town to the very best of my ability, and that I have done so is attested by the good quality of the milk dispensed, and as no complaints have been made to me for the year is proof in itself. In my inspection this year a new depart- ure was introduced. A dairy inspection blank was used at each and every place visited, giving the name and Post Office address; also the number of cows. amount of milk produced, disposal and handling of same, drainage and water supply, and the general health of the family and employees, which is filed for future reference.
In my visits to the milk producers for inspection of their barns or premises I have found them in good Sanitary Condition and any suggestion which I made to them was readily adopted. In fact they all evinced a spirit to assist me in every way possible, and I wish to thank them one and all for the kind manner in which I have been received and the courtesy shown me.
A new departure was made this year by the Board of Health in regard to the sale of Ice Cream, and it was decided to issue licenses for sale of same and the matter was placed in my hands to attend to. I at once made a careful inspection of all places where the same was made or sold and found them all in a clean and sanitary condition and issued licenses for sale of same.
Number of Milk Licenses granted 25
Number of Ice Cream Licenses granted 11
Amount received from same $16 50

Milk Inspector.
Two buildings were condemned by the Board as unfit for occu- pancy as tenements. One has been torn down, the other has been removed and repaired. The Farley brook is now being cared for by an association composed of the people whose drains enter it. From May 1st to Nov. 1st a daily patrol of the brook was made by a man employed by the association to keep the flow of water free. The plan seems to have been an improvement over the methods used in its care in previous years. Mr. Wm. J. Riley has repre-
51
Ipswich Town Report.
sented the association in looking after the business side of its interests.
The following letter received by the Milk Inspector is offered as evidence of the Board's claim that the work of milk inspection is being carefully and efficiently carried out. The Inspector induced a number of local milk producers to participate in the Worcester Show. The result is highly satisfactory and ought to stimulate other producers to improve the quality of their milk output.
Milk Inspector,
Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :-
The scores of the three highest exhibits of Milk from your Town placed you 8th in Class 3 at the recent Milk, Cream, and Butter Show in Worcester. This entitles you to a cash prize of $2.00 which will be sent you by the State Board of Agriculture direct.
I hope that you will be with us again in our future shows.
Yours very truly,
W. P. B. Lockwood,
Head of Dept. of Dairying of Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass.

Ipswich Town Report.
The detailed items of these expenses will be found elsewhere in this report.
The care of tuberculosis is the chief expense of the depart- ment. Of the $1260 41 expended for this disease, $990 78 was ex- pended for care and board of patients. Of this amount $661 98 was paid to State and other Sanatoria, and $328 80 to the farm department and other parties in Ipswich. There has been a gradu- al annual increase in the expenses for the care of this disease. It is a fair presumption that more money will be needed this year We estimate that $4,000 will be needed to maintain the department during the ensuing year, and ask that that sum be appropriated.
A few more suggestions to think over :
In 1910 we had 259 cases of contagious diseases and spent $4898.28. In 1914 we had 34 cases and spent $3985.15. What did we get for each year's expenditures ? In 1910 we stamped out an epidemic of typhoid fever, and established a contagious hospital, the latter being the first piece of' constructive work done by the Board. The most of the money used that year was spent in handl- ing the typhoid epidemic. The money expended this year has been to rear new barriers against the spread of such diseases. As to the comparative value of the policy pursued each year, we again refer to the table at the beginning of this report.
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK DONE BY THIS BOARD.
Establishment of a contagious hospital at 111 Steep Bank, al- ways ready for use at a few hour's notice.
Construction of two tuberculosis camps, one at the Town Farm, the other on High street. Each camp equipped for two patients. These can be used for emergency or special cases.
PREVENTIVE WORK.
A system of constant sanitary inspection and general oversight. A division of Milk Inspection.
A system of swill and garbage collection, all of which have proved effective.
