ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Middleborough Town Hall Middleborough, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


My fourth full report as Health Officer for the Town of Middle- borough follows. Fortunately another year has passed without any major health problems to besiege us.


Only thirty miles from Middleboro, in Rhode Island, a state of emer- gency was declared because of an epidemic of infantile paralysis (polio) and federal help was enlisted to immunize persons never before im- munized.


A few short years ago, during the Depression, the now called "Childhood Diseases" were handled as major threats to the Public Health and the various colored placards denoting certain periods of quarantine were dutifully attached to the affected homes by my pre- decessors. This practice has been discontinued as well as the now known unreasonable quarantine periods.


The balance of my report will be divided in three major sections:


A. Services provided for the Townspeople, B. Supervision of Public Health, C. Prevention of Disease.


A. Services provided for the Townspeople


Bi-monthly pickup of trash accumulated by the Townspeople is made by town employees using town-owned equipment on a specific route schedule.


Weekly pickup of garbage is made by town employees using town- owned equipment on a specific route schedule.


Funds are made available by the Town to assist families where pre- mature births occur. During 1960, twenty children were born prema- turely. Of this total three died and five families were helped financially as well as follow-up supervision being provided by the Public Health Nurse for all cases.


B. Supervision of Public Health


Permits and Licenses for the many businesses located in the Town were issued by this office or under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Health, the Health Agent, the Town Clerk, Plumbing Inspector or the Milk Inspector.


110


ANNUAL REPORT


Permits and/or licenses are required for the sale of milk, operation of restaurants, nursing homes, rest homes, slaughter houses, day camps, recreation camps, motels, hotels, trailer courts, the sale of methyl alcohol, the practice of the funeral profession and many others.


The issuance of cesspool and septic tank permits falls within the assigned responsibility of the Plumbing Inspector and he has sub- mitted a separate report to you concerning the activities of his office. Burial permits are issued to funeral directors after presentation of the formal "Death Certificate." One hundred seventy-nine persons died in Middleboro during 1960, two fewer than in 1959.


C. Prevention of Disease


Three clinics were held during the year for the "three-in-one" shot for prevention of diptheria, tetanus infection, and whooping cough. Eleven hundred two persons were inoculated by local doctors with the assistance of the Public Health and School Nurses with clerical and supervisory assistance provided by interested mothers and mem- bers and friends of the District Nursing Association.


Three hundred seventy-nine persons were X-Rayed at St. Luke's Hospital for evidence of infection by tuberculosis. Of that total, one hundred one were re-checked at St. Luke's and further study was made at the Plymouth County Hospital in South Hanson if the med- ical authorities thought it necessary.


Two new active cases were discovered during the year, five persons were admitted to the County Hospital for treatment.


Three clinics for polio vaccine inoculation were conducted with the cooperation of Alfred A. L. Lentini, M.D. of Lakeville and local doc- tors. Nineteen hundred sixty-two separate inoculations were given during these clinics.


Three special "Polio Clinics" were held by Dr. Kurt Jellinek, a member of the staff at the State Department of Public Health's Sanatorium in Lakeville. Employees of the Commonwealth's Depart- ment of Public Works in this area were the recipients of these inoculations.


Four hundred three school children were examined by the School Dentist with the assistance of the School and Public Health Nurses. Each child was given a written report to be taken to his parent and notification that necessary work was completed was received from two hundred forty-nine children.


Periodic inspections were made of all eating and drinking establish- ments and over four hundred individual swab tests were analyzed by a state approved private laboratory service. The general average of active bacteria found in these counts has continued to drop, thus noting continuing improvement in this field.

Thanks to the appropriation of monies to this Department last year, we have been able to reduce somewhat the hazards at the Town Dump located off Plymouth Street. This situation continues to be a sore spot, not only from the standpoint of a health hazard, but also as a fire hazard to the "Green" section of the Town. Some persons continue to dump trash on the roadside on their way to the Dump, but the presence of the part-time caretaker has prevented the indiscriminate dumping in the area itself.


The Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project has worked in closer association with the Board of Health directly and first hand information on this program is no doubt available from County head- quarters.


A word of thanks should be extended the Department of Public Health for its cooperation in helping to resolve some of the health situ- ations we have had to work out.


A formal thank you is well deserved by the Middleboro District Nursing Association and its members and friends for its help in and financial support of the Town's health program.


My personal thanks go to Mrs. McLaughlin, Public Health Nurse and Mrs. Edgerly, School Nurse for their help and cooperation through- out the year.


My associates, Harry Rowe and John Rebell have worked closely with me at all times and their interest in their assigned duties has helped the Department to run more smoothly.


Our Town Manager and his Secretary deserve the appreciative best wishes of every Department head. The Board of Selectmen, technically the Board of Health, has been most helpful and cooperative with me throughout the year. Thank you for your continuing interest in the Community's health.


Sincerely yours,


ROBERT CARTMELL, R.S. Health Officer

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS UNDER THE ZONING BY-LAW


During the year 1960 petitions brought before the Appeal Board averaged one and one-half per month. One petition was brought to re- view the granting of a permit. Two petitions were withdrawn or no appearance was made by the petitioner.


The greatest number of petitions of the same type were requests for building or extending garages toward abutter's boundary line. All petitions for this request were granted when approved by the abutter.


One special permit, which is based on a different theory of law from the variance, was granted.


One petition asking for substantial reduction in size of lots in a residential zone was brought in 1960 and denied in 1961.

ANNUAL REPORT


BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Middleborough, Massachusetts Gentlemen:


We respectfully submit herewith the Annual Report of the Middle- borough Business and Industrial Commission for the year ending Dec- ember 31, 1960.


This Commission has met monthly with the purpose to promote business interest in the Town of Middleborough. A brochure was pre- pared, printed and distributed through all Motels, Restaurants and other sources in the area, to advertise and promote Middleborough for indus- trial development.


Considerable effort was made, including a trip to Washington, D. C. by two members of this Commission, to inform the Federal Aviation Agency of the desirability of the Middleborough Industrial site for the new airway traffic control center the government was planning. The active support of Senator Saltonstall and Representative Hastings Keith was enlisted and the Commission received assurances that if the new control center were to be located in Massachusetts, Middleborough would be among the most favored. Other factors, however, eventually influ- enced the decision to locate the center in New Hampshire.


As a result of this work, and meetings with other industries and industrial real estate agents, the promotion of our site for industrial use has been well advanced.


With the new route #28 completed and open, passing by our indus- trial site, and the interest already shown, it is the conviction of this Commission that the use of this property for suitable industrial purposes will result in substantial income to the Town to help in lowering the Tax rate, and that the use of the site for any other purpose should be discouraged.


While the Commission does not request an appropriation of the size that would enable it to put on an extensive advertising campaign, several appropriate plans that can be used at low cost are projected for 1961.


During 1960, there were twenty-one building permits issued for new industrial construction and for additions to existing industries. Accord- ing to the permits, this new construction amounted to $218,380.00, thus reflecting the growth of present industries.


Respectfully submitted, For the Commission HAROLD A. HALL Chairman
