These divisions are referred to in the order in which they were established without any attempt to classify their relative importance. They are all important.


In addition the board co-operates closely with the State Bureau of Animal Industry which looks after domestic animals


.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


and the diseases to which they are liable. While not required by law to do so, the Board of Health pays the salary of the Inspector of animals appointed by that bureau, believing that such inspection is important in helping to protect the public health.


Having given these brief outlines of the work with which the board has to deal we will refer briefly to what has been done the past year.


Chapter 75, Section 49, 50, 52 of the Revised Laws requires that all diseases dangerous to the public health shall be re- ported by the attending physician within twenty-four hours of their occurrence. Thirty-seven diseases are in that required list. These diseases must be reported immediately to the State Department of Health.


The following is the list for this year :


Chicken Pox


2


Diphtheria


20


Lobar Pneumonia


1


Mumps


1


Scarlet Fever


2


Pulmonary Tuberculosis


10


Tetanus


1.


Whooping Cough


1


Total


38


This is the smallest number of such diseases ever reported to the board except in 1918 when pandemic influenza pre- vailed everywhere. The total number in 1922 was 278.


132


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


Diphtheria


As will be seen by the above table there were 20 cases of Diphtheria, more than 50% of all the cases reported. Early in the year the board made arrangements with the State Department of Health to give the Schick test to all pupils in the schools whose parents . consented to have the test and vaccination employed. About 200 had the test made and several were shown to be immune. But not all of those tested had the three inoculations necessary. It will take time to per- suade all the parents of the necessity of having these inocu- lations done. In the canvass that was made it was apparent that the propaganda put forth by the so-called "Medical Liberty League" and other pseudo-scientific and fake groups had had considerable influence in misleading the parents as to the protection their children would receive through being "Schicked." It is the intention of the board to again offer to have this work done the coming spring. It is hoped that many of these parents who refused to allow their children to be protected last year have seen the light and will not withhold their consent this year.


Tuberculosis


There were 10 cases of this disease reported. 37 cases were under observation at the beginning of the year. 5 died, 2 moved away and one was returned from the Middleton Sani- torium as non-tuberculous. This leaves 35 cases still under observation and care. Some whom the board has offered to send to the hospital have refused to go and such are bound to be something of a menace to those with whom they come in daily contaet. In such cases the nurse does all in her power


133


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


to educate the members of families with whom these patients live, how to avoid becoming infected.


The board found quite a problem in the collection of swill and garbage. Finally a contract was made with M. C. Calla- han who has done this work better than it has ever been done before, and has given, we believe, general satisfaction to the public.


Milk Inspection


A great advance has been made in milk inspection. The system under which the inspector carries on this work is excellent, and there are on file at his office the results of numerous tests which shows the quality of the milk being sold in town. He was fortunate in securing the assistance of Mr. McGrath of the Salem Health Department, and the facilities of the department laboratory, so that this division of the department's work is carefully looked after.


We come now to the department's finances. A study of the costs of operating the department for the five years from 1919 to 1923 inclusive, shows them to have been for that period $25,066.72. An average of $5,013.34 per year.


Based on the above figures we ask that the sum of $5,000 be appropriated for 1924. We again call attention to the reports of the various divisions of the Board which follow.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE E. MacARTHUR, M. D., J. DELLINGER BARNEY, M. D., WALTER E. HENDERSON,

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


Division of Child Hygiene and Tuberculosis


This is the 8th annual report of what was established as a division of Child Welfare in 1916. In 1921 the supervision and care of tuberculosis was added and the name adopted which appears at the head of this report. While the work in its two parts is separate and distinct it is carried on by the same director and nurse. It works in close co-operation with the State Department of Health.


At the time the original division was established Ipswich had a high mortality rate among children under one year of age. 138 children were born in 1916, and 27 died under one year of age.


Below is given a table of the births and deaths of the years from 1916 to 1923 inclusive :

A study of these figures taken from the official record on file in the departments, will show that a material lowering of its mortality among infants under one year of age has been accomplished. No further comment on these facts is neces- sary.


The report of the Department nurse which follows dis-


135

closes many interesting facts. Her return shows that there were 13 deaths among children under her care. Of these 13 cases 4 were above one year of age, leaving 9 under one year as shown in the above table.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE SANITARY INSPECTOR


To the Board of Health of Ipswich,


Gentlemen :


I beg to submit herewith the following report of the Sani- tary Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1923: I think . the sanitary conditions of the town will check up very favor- ably with last year, but that they still call for constant watch- fulness by the Inspector. If the public had more pride in keeping their property in a good sanitary and tidy condition it would be a long step in adding to the appearance of the town. . One of the worst conditions this department has to contend with is the disposal of garbage and sewage. The sewage problem is getting worse every year and will never be solved until the town has an approved sewage system. Number of complaints received and investigated 28


Contagious disease cards posted :

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE MILK INSPECTOR


To the Board of Health of Ipswich,


Gentlemen :


The inspection of the milk supply of the Town of Ipswich has been concluded for another year and the condition of the same, with a few exceptions, has improved very much over last year. I have found that the inspection of stables was only a partial solution of the problem of clean milk. I have added a filth testing apparatus to the department's equipment that has brought this unsanitary condition of milk to the producer with good results. There are, however, conditions remaining that must be improved before the milk supply can reach a satisfactory standard. I do not desire to work a hard- ship for the producers and dealers but shall insist on clean and sanitary milk.


Number of milk licenses issued 30


Number of ice cream licenses issued 23


Number of oleomargerine dealers registered 6


Respectfully submitted,


EBEN B. MOULTON,


Inspector of Milk.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR


Although we have had a large number of calls from the unemployed through the winter months and several new cases of siekness we have tried to keep the expense down without de- priving the needy of aid. Several old cases have been taken out of town and are enjoying better living conditions and at a lower cost to the town.


It has been necessary to purchase some new machinery and equipment for the town farm and also to make some much needed repairs. We find that it is necessary to buy more equipment and to make more repairs. The Board recommends covering over the old barn cellar for the purpose of storing the farming equipment.

REPORT OF CLAM AND FISH COMMISSIONERS


Board of Selectmen :


The following is the report of the Clam and Fish commis- sioners. We have been over the flats and find there are plenty of seed on the flats in Plum Island River. In Ipswich River there are not so many as last year. We had the flats from Little Neck to Dimond Stage closed this year, and recommend the closing of more this summer. There is good clamming on the flats on the Ipswich side of Essex River.


Number of permits issued 54.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT


We do not intend this year to ask for any new equip- ment for the Highway Department. We could use more equipment to advantage but feel that if it is possible to get along without it that we should do so because we realize that there are other things that the town needs more.


The question of proper road material has become one of some importance. It is practically impossible to obtain road material of the proper kind except at a very disproportionate expense. With the road bed now needed to care for the heavy truck travel it is cheaper in the long run to'use crushed stone. The question of crushed stone and gravel also might be solved in an economical manner by purchasing a small portable stone crusher. We recommend that the town take some action in regard to securing a gravel pit.


The town is sadly deficient in proper street signs. This fact is commented upon by nearly all visitors. We do not recommend any great outlay for this purpose but do believe that a beginning should be made in a small way by erecting a few signs of a permanent nature in the center of the town.


We wish to call attention of the citizens to the fact that the time is fast approaching when the State Department of Health will be bound to take some notice of the so-called Farley Brook. If they should, on complaint, look into this matter it might place the town in a very embarrassing situation finan- cially, so that we warn the abuttors on said Brook and in-


143


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


cidentally, those, who although not abuttors, drain into the Brook, that it behooves them to do their utmost to keep the Brook in as sanitary condition as possible.


On February 10, 1923, Edward Leavitt, Chief of Police, resigned. We appointed Officer Jacob Smith as Acting Chief until after the organization of the new Board. At the first meeting after organizing the question of appointing an effi- cient Chief was before us. There were a number of applicants for the position and from them we chose the present incum- bent John G. Mansfield. We feel that we made an excellent choice and that he has conducted the department in an efficient manner and has endeavored to enforce all laws fairly and impartially. We wish to call your attention to the fact that the police work nine hours a day, seven days a week. Their only time off is the two weeks' vacation a year. The advent of the automobile and the Prohibition law has caused a great increase in the amount of police work. The dockets of our court will show that these cases constitute the bulk of the criminal business. If these laws are to be enforced, and they must be enforced if we are to have law and order, the public must provide the necessary funds. The publie must stand back of the police force to accomplish any results. A small force such as ours cannot accomplish the desired results if the law abiding element fails to do its part especially in dealing with the Prohibition laws.


A recent Act of the Legislature called for certain advertis- ing and notices to all owners of rights in the Jeffries Neck Pasture. This notice was given by order of the Probate Court a short time ago and the case is now ready to be heard by the Judge of that Court. The attorney for the town informs us that Judge Dow has agreed to hear the case this month. It is

expected that the matter will go forward presently for a final adjustment.

IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF MEMORIAL HALL, IPSWICH, MASS.


The report of the expenditures of this board will be found in another part of this book. They total to the amount of $2,010.45 but of that total $239.12 was paid for additional construction work such as grading, guard rail on the front steps, etc. There was a balance in the building appropriation of $239.90 which was used for that purpose. That amount deducted from the total expenditures of $2,010.45 leaves $1,771.33 as the amount paid for maintenance of the building for 1923. We have an unexpended balance of $428.55 and unpaid bills for $416.33. We ask that the balance unexpended may be appropriated to pay these bills.


We desire to call the attention of the voters to the very generous action of the Grand Army, the American Legion, the Woman's Relief Corps and the Woman's Auxiliary in voluntarily paying to the Town $1,200.00 for rental of their rooms during the past year. They have displayed a wonderful spirit of co-operation and while they might have had the use of the building without paying anything, they have preferred to give this material aid and thus reduce the cost of mainten- ance to the tax payers. They are on deck in peace as 'well as in war.


We also desire to commend all who have used the building for their care and thoughtfulness in keeping up the high standard of the building, and to call particular attention to the excellent work of Floyd Bruce, the janitor. Superinten- dent would be a more appropriate title to give him, for he
