$2,500 00 During 1927, the usual amount of trimming was done, and about the same amount of spraying. I think we stop- ped the Elm Beetle in 1926; they did not show up much this year, as I expected they might.


Of the old trees that were cut back, I saved about one- half, and many of the other old trees that were fed, are showing some signs of improvement. I think that the lone tree in Town Square will look pretty good this Sum- mer. Several new trees were planted in different parts of the Town.


I am planning on doing the usual amount of work on our street trees this year ; also some planting, therefore I respectfully recommend an appropriation of $2,500.00 for labor and supplies for 1928.

To the Inhabitants of the Town of Plymouth :-


The following report of the Board of Health is hereby rendered, trusting that you will one and all carefully con- sider it and give it the attention that it deserves.


Too few of us really consider how important a part this department plays in the well being of a community. We scarcely ever consider what our Health Department is doing until brought into active contact with some of its different sections and then alas, does the Board often suf- fer severe criticism and sometimes unjust condemnation for acts performed with the intent and interest of public welfare in view.


We stand between you and filth and disease and at all times labor with the public health at heart, and we are happy to say that the most of you fully appreciate what we are trying to do for you. In the matter of contagious work it does seem hard for some of us to realize, that when we are shut up in our homes and not allowed to mingle with our friends and neighbors just because Willie has a little rash, that when we were children was only Scarletina or Scarlet Rash, and no one was confined on account of that-that we are only doing our duty as citizens to protect others. A case of slight contagion in our own children may convey a severe and oft times fatal disease to our next door neighbor's children as often the virulence increases the more often the contact.


John often gets really peeved with the Board when they inform him that his overflowing cesspool must be cleaned out, because, it has not harmed him, or his family, but who knows how many Typhoid or Diphtheria


-151-


germs are hovering around that cesspool waiting to jump upon Henry's children and perhaps carry them to the Hospital or the Cemetery.


There is no member of the Board working for the dol- lars and cents involved, but we have done this work so long that we are interested and are trying our best to improve our community and make Plymouth a clean town to live in.


Once again we wish to call the attention of our citi- zens to the necessity of Periodical Health Examinations. Too little has been said in the past regarding this im- portant matter. Carelessly do we live and only when ill do we call our Doctor, and then expect him to perform miracles. A visit to your family Physician every six months means more than life insurance to you. Your family may easily spend your life insurance, but remem- ber that every time you see the sunrise you are spending one more day of your life. Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Heart ailments discovered in their early stages are more easily handled and life may be very much prolonged by the attention your own medical attendant can give you.


Cancer must also occupy our attention in this respect. To-day a great deal of the horror of malignant growth has been removed by the many cures of this terrible scourge, and the reason is the periodic health examination. Every man or woman noticing any skin blemish, nodules, or lumpy growths of abnormal appearance, should at once see their medical adviser. Many lives will be saved in the future by this proceedure.


Infant mortality in Plymouth is higher than it should be in a town of this size, and the fault lies almost wholly with the parents who will wait until the last minute be- fore calling the doctor. We have a number of excellent physicians in Plymouth, who if co-operated with will remedy this situation. Call the Doctor early must be our slogan.


There has been placed in the Board of Health rooms an electric refrigerator in which at all times are all


-152-


the Antitoxins and Biologicals with which to fight acute conditions. A key to the rooms is kept at the Police Sta- tion available for use by any Physician of this or any of "our neighboring towns, so that vaccine may be obtained any hour of the night. Already has it proved invaluable, as a Physician recently reported to the Board that by ob- taining serum in the night from our stock, a little child's life was saved. This one case more than repays our out- lay.


In closing we wish to thank all of you for your aid and co-operation in trying to keep our town clean and healthy. We wish to thank the State Department of Health for their aid especially Mr. Herman Lythgoe and his able as- sistant Harry C. Mossman, who have both been a great help to us in checking up on our food and milk inspection. To our various employees we wish to say you have done your work well, and we are much pleased with you. We thank you all. The appended letters will speak for them- selves.


An appropriation of $18,000 is asked for the year of 1928.

Dr. Walter D. Shurtleff,


Health Officer,


Plymouth, Massachusetts.


My dear Dr. Shurtleff :


I am pleased at this time to write you of some of the progressive activities in which the Plymouth Board of Health has taker. the initiative.


I am informed that Plymouth was the first town to of- ficially adopt and subsequently enforce the Minimum Rules and Regulations for the Control of Communicable Diseases. Also I am aware of the fact that you have had, for several years, milk regulations making it necessary for milk sold in Plymouth to be either pasteurized or from tuberculin tested herds. Plymouth is one of the few towns of its size to have been recorded in favor of this very important health measure.


At the present time steps have been taken, I believe, to initiate some diphtheria prevention procedures in Plym- outh in conjunction with the School Department. I can- not recommend too highly this sort of thing as a public health activity of extreme importance. You may feel certain that this Department is ready and willing at all times to aid and advise you in the furtherance of this and other public health work in your town.


Yours truly,


GEORGE H. BIGELOW, M. D.,


Commissioner of Public Health


February 9, 1928


To the Selectmen and Voters of


Plymouth, Mass.


Greetings :


We ask for just enough space in your Town Report to let the people in Plymouth know that we fully appreciate


-154-


the great help your Board of Health and its Clinic, "and. particularly the personal supervision by Dr. Shurtleff and the nurses," has been, and is to those unfortunates to whom it has been a very personal help in their time of need, physically, by medical treatment and mentally by suggestions, and human sympathy. We sincerely hope you will continue your good work, and may you in results reap one hundred fold is the sincere wish of


CHARLES W. EATON, GEORGE E. BELKNAP, Board of Health, Duxbury, Mass.

Eoard of Health,


Plymouth, Mass.


Attention : Herbert S. Maxwell, Chairman Gentlemen :


Enclosed you will please find my check for $2.35 in payment of your bill as rendered.


I take this opportunity to extend to you my expression of sincere appreciation for your very successful efforts in behalf of my son and the courtesies extended both to my son and myself.


While I know you look upon acts like that to which I refer as the performance of your duty; I feel that the Town of Plymouth is to be congratulated in having for the Chairman of their Board of Health a gentleman of determination and ability who has also the fine feelings and sympathy you displayed.


Respectfully yours,


HAROLD A. PHEENY.

Mr. H. S. Maxwell, Chairman


Board of Health Plymouth, Mass.


Dear Mr. Maxwell:


At your suggestion, I am making a formal request to the Board of Health to provide for additional dental ser- vice for the ensuing year.


I would recommend that Dr. Dyer and Dr. Donovan be employed at once sufficient mornings so that all the chil- dren in grades 1-6 inclusive, may be examined. This will be followed by the usual Dental Clinic work in grades 1-3. The increased cost of the department would be between $100.00 to $150.00.


Please let me know at once the decision of the depart- ment so that the work may begin immediately.


Thanking you for your splendid co-operation in the past, and hoping that we may all work together for the best interests of the children, I am


Yours sincerely,


ANSON B. HANDY, Supt. of Schools.

SIXTEENTH


ANNUAL REPORT

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT For the year ending December 31, 1927


Plymouth, Mass., February 25, 1928.


To the Board of Selectmen,


Town of Plymouth.


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith a report of the financial transactions of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1927, ar- ranged in the same general order as in past years.


Schedule A. shows all receipts and payments for the year from Jan. 1, to Dec. 31, classified in accordance with requirements of the Division of Accounts of the State.


Schedule B. is a detailed account of the several ap- propriations, showing the amounts appropriated at Town Meetings, any additions to same, payments made, balance remaining or transferred to surplus.


Schedule C. is a statement of Estimated Receipts.


The charges are amounts used by the Assessors in making the 1927 tax rate. The credits show amounts actually received from the respective sources.


Schedule D. The Revenue Account for the year.


Schedule E. A list of the unexpended appropriation balances transferred to surplus (Excess and Deficiency) .


Schedule F. Balance Sheet, January 1, 1928, of all ledger accounts.


Schedule G. Summary of the Outstanding Indebted- ness (bonds) showing debt at the beginning of the year, amounts paid, and principal and interest requirements for 1928.


Schedule H. Detailed statement of bonded indebted- ness, giving the particulars of each bond issue.


Plymouth Eleven


-162-


Schedule I. List of all Trust Funds not including the January, 1928, dividends.


The amount appropriated by the Town in aid of the Plymouth Public Library has been handled in the same manner as any town department during the last year. This change was ordered by the State Examiners follow- ing the audit made by them in the fall of 1926.


Soldiers' Benefits have also been paid from an appro- priation made at the annual town meeting and not car- ried as overdrafts to be made up.


No department reported unpaid bills at the close of the year. Through an error, however, the Health Depart- ment was allowed to pay bills in excess of the appropri- ation to the amount of $594.34. This amount will have to be raised and appropriated in 1928.


The condition of the Town financially is excellent. Taxes and water rates are well paid in; the amount of uncollected being a small percent of the total levy.


The balance to the credit of Excess and Deficiency has been very materially increased through the year's trans- actions, and is larger than there is need to carry. I would suggest that $25,000 a year be used to reduce the tax levy until the balance is reduced to $50,000.


Respectfully submitted,


ELMER R. HARLOW,


Town Accountant.
