REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF SHORES AND FLATS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


I herewith submit the following report :


The commercial clam industry has been very prosperous dur- ing the past year. More men have been employed than usual and motor trucks have afforded better opportunity for disposing of the clams.


In the past two months business has not been as good here for the reason that buyers procured their clams on the Cape at less cost than they could be bought in Plymouth.


The outlook for the year 1921 does not seem as promising as it has proved in 1920, but small clams are abundant that should be marketable in June or July. I have a record of 23,858 bushels shipped and canned in the past year. This represents more than twenty-five thousand dollars and as the fishing in- dustry and torching has been small, this has given men usually engaged in that work a chance to make a living.


Quite a good many clams have been dug by automobile parties and the local markets have sold more than in previous years.


Respectfully submitted, ALFRED HOLMES,


Supervisor of Shores and Flats.

AGAWAM AND HALFWAY POND FISHERIES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


We submit the following report of the Plymouth Committee of Agawam and Halfway Pond herring stream :


The privilege for fishing the stream was sold March 29, 1920 for $11,000.00, this being the highest price ever received, owing to the great demand for herring scales, used in 'coloring imita- tion pearls.


At a recent meeting of the joint committee of Plymouth and Wareham, it was decided to sell the stream at an earlier date than in former years, in order to give the purchaser an op- portunity to secure a place to care for and store the fish.


The sale of the stream will be this year on March 6th.


Respectfully submitted, ALFRED HOLMES, W. S. GALE, FRANK HARLOW.

BOARD OF HEALTH


The following report of the doings of the Board of Health for the year 1920 is submitted as required by Law :-


Contagious diseases have been unusually prevalent not only in Plymouth but elsewhere throughout the Commonwealth. The influenza epidemic of 1919 being repeated in milder form in February of this year, to be followed by an unusual prevalence of measles, whooping cough and later scarlet fever.


Undoubtedly many non reported cases of whooping cough existed, as in very few cases were physicians called and house- holders seemed to forget that the Law requires them to report contagious diseases under such circumstances.


Some idea of the work of the Board may be judged from the fact that over fifteen hundred reports of contagious diseases were sent to various authorities through the office of the Secre- tary, each case being reported to the State Board of Health, State Inspector for the District and in many cases to the School Physician, Superintendent of Schools and the Libraries.


The plumbing inspectors, Mr. M. D. Welsh and A. A. Samp- son report a total of permits granted as follows:

The last of October Mr. Walton Briggs resigned as Milk In- spector and no successor has yet been appointed. His work was characterized by ability in securing the co-operation of dealers and producers in an effort to afford the Town clean milk. Some one hundred and eighty dairies are under inspection in


-214-


Plymouth and adjacent towns, of which thirteen are selling milk in Plymouth.


There has been a total of three hundred and eighty-six cases of contagious diseases reported in the Town during the past year, the following tabulation by months will show the condi- tions at all parts of the year.

One case of scarlet fever on the premises of a local milk dealer during the year caused the Board to take immediate steps and stop the sale of milk on this route.


Reimbursement for the loss sustained by this action was made by the Board, the milk product being purchased at regular rates and destroyed, the sum necessary for the purchase being taken from the appropriation.


The ward for the reception of contagious cases at the hospital has been retained by the Board at the cost of two thousand dol- lars, that sum representing interest on the amount invested by

the hospital in the ward, in lieu of the town building a hos- pital.


The value of this institution to the Town will not be under- estimated if one will consider the advantage it possesses.


The fixed rate of fifteen dollars per week which was first paid by the Board for care of its cases has been raised during the year to eighteen dollars per week.


This was necessary because of the general increase in the cost of living expenses.


The charge of one dollar per call paid to the Physician in attendance on a case, was advanced to three dollars during the latter part of the year. This material increase was due to the refusal on the part of the physicians of the Town to attend cases of contagious diseases at less than regular rates.


The Board will, during the coming year, endeavor to make a more satisfactory arrangement in this item of expense to the Town.


The Dispensary where free examination and treatment has been provided for those suffering from pulmonary weakness, has been maintained throughout the year. To those who have presented themselves for examination and who were found to be infected, every incentive to get well has been offered. A careful examination of the patient has been made each week and a proper record kept.


House conditions have, at such times as were found con- venient, been investigated and if found faulty necessary advice and help given for their treatment. Food, medicine, clothing and general supplies have been furnished by the Board on advice from the physician in charge of the work. In all ways the service has been satisfactory to the Board and helpful to the community at large.


A service station for the distribution of State Biological products has been maintained throughout the year at the Cooper Drug Store. Here the many preparations so important in the treatment of disease have been furnished free to physicians who


-216-


required them. The fact that this branch of the work has been carried on without expense to the Town seems to call for a vote of thanks on the part of the Board to the people who have so kindly aided them.


Whenever reported, infected animals have been promptly re- moved and cared for by an agent of the Board.


Numerous instances of the smaller animals found dead in the highway have called for attention from the Board and in such cases prompt removal has been made.


Dead and decomposed fish washed ashore at the beaches, on more than one occasion during the year, have been removed and buried, the expenditure in such cases being proportionate to the time involved.


The Board requests an appropriation of $12,000.00 to meet the expenses of the coming year, together with the additional sum of $750.00 to pay for expenses of 1918 and 1920.


In regard to this latter item, we would state that there are at present on hand, bills aggregating $500.00 of the previous year, and probably about $100.00 outstanding for which no bills have been rendered.


The Board has also just received a bill for $140.00 from the City of Fall River for care rendered in 1918 to a Tuberculosis patient whose settlement is a matter of dispute and which the Board, in all probability, will have to pay.


Several of the items included in the appropriation requested for the 1920 balance are disputed by the Board and actual payment hereunder, may be less than the figure indicated.


Respectfully submitted, GEORGE H. JACKSON, M. D., Chairman. HERBERT S. MAXWELL, HARRY R. TALBOT,


Board of Health.

The following animals were condemned as unfit for food :- One pig, March 25, 1920 as suffering from Generalized Tuber- culosis ; on May 6, 1920, one calf was condemned as under weight; on July 9, 1920, one cow was condemned as she was suffering from Tuberculosis; on October 28, 1920, one pig's head was condemned as tuberculosis was found in the sub- maxillary glands; on December 30, 1920, one pig's head was condemned as glands of the head had tuberculosis; on Febru-


-218-


ary 12, 1920, the hind quarters of calf unstamped were found and were seized and condemned.


During the past Summer there has been built a building on Nick Rock Road for a slaughtering-house, it is a much. needed improvement, the building is used entirely for slaughtering purposes and has a good cement floor and is well drained.


It however, lacks town water but the owner is in hopes the town will extend water to the building this coming year.


The owner of this slaughtering-house takes the pigs or other- animals away from places alive and actually slaughters them at the slaughter-house, which does away with much noise and dirt.


One slaughter-house on South Street is small but is kept. clean and does very well, another small slaughter-house, located on Ocean View Avenue, is doing some slaughtering, and is a. much better location than where owner formerly slaughtered.


On the whole I think the improvement in conditions for slaughtering in Plymouth is very pleasing to a large majority of the tax-payers.


Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK H. BRADLEY, Inspector of Slaughtering.
