TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


It is the opinion of your committee, that the price per square foot should be the same in all parts of the cemetery.


As a result of the studies made by your committee, the follow- ing recommendations are made:


1 .- That the charge per lot, with perpetual care, should be $1.50 per square foot.


2 .- That the price per square foot should be the same for lots in all locations of the cemetery.


3 .- That lots not now with perpetual care should pay 50c per square foot for perpetual care, if desired.


4 .- That the charge for opening graves should be $10.00 for adults and $3.00 for children of six years and under.


5 .- That the price for a single grave should remain $25.00.


In studying the cemetery problem of Swampscott your com- mittee is impressed with the need for a definite plan for future de- velopment of the cemetery land now owned by the town. Unless this work is done according to a definite plan, the results will not be satisfactory, and the final cost will be much more than it should be. Within a year additional lots will be required, and a plan should be worked out now to insure economic and systematic de- velopment.

The Board of Health


To the Citizens of Swampscott:


The Board of Health submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1927:


The past year has seen the elimination of long standing nuisances and an improvement in health conditions in general throughout the town.


The Board makes the following recommendations for the en- suing year:


1. The extension of the Eastern Intercepting


Sewer.


2. The extension of the sewer in Franklin avenue for a distance of approximately 1500 feet and the appro- priation of the necessary money therefor. 3. The extension of the public sewer in Walker Road for a distance of approximately 360 feet and the appropriation of the necessary money therefor.


Respectfully submitted,


LORING GRIMES, M. D., Chairman HAROLD H. BARTOL JOHN B. CAHOON


Board of Health.


Health Officer


To the Board of Health:


Gentlemen :- I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1927:


In spite of the fact that there has been little or no change in the number of communicable diseases reported during the past year over that of the year previous the health conditions have been generally satisfactory.


Through good fortune or otherwise, but one case of infantile paralysis was reported during the period from September to No- vember when that disease was appearing in epidemic form through- out the State.


Sanitary conditions are quite satisfactory, although there are still one or two instances where improvements are needed. The elimination of Huron street as a dumping ground for sewage and other filth and waste overflow from Lynn sewers during each heavy rain, has removed a condition that has long jeopardized the health and happiness of those citizens living in that vicinity.


The extension of the public sewer into Tid street has also caused the abatement of several sources of filth that have menaced the health of those living in that vicinity.


105


REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER


1927]


Complaints of overflowing cesspools located on various premises along Franklin avenue have been of increasing frequency during the past year. Owing to the composition of the soil, improve- ment of conditions has been a practical impossibility.


Overflowing cesspools located on property numbered 131 Walker road have also been a continual source of complaint as well as a menace to the health of those living in that vicinity.


Both of these conditions can be abated through connection with the public sewer.


The value of our program of physical examination, as con- ducted in our public schools, is clearly demonstrated in the steadily decreasing number of physical defects found each year and the increasing spirit of co-operation which parents are dis- playing in assisting this department in its corrective work. Further evidence of such co-operation was exemplified by the man- ner in which the parents responded to the appeal of this de- partment, for assisting in wiping the dangers of diphtheria from our midst by having their children immunized against the ravages of that disease. For the information of those who have not yet availed themselves of the opportunity of protecting their children it might be of interest to know that during the nineteen week period between July 30, 1927, and December 10, 1927, 1681 cases were reported to the State Department of Public Health by health departments of cities and towns throughout the State, an increase of 464 over the figure for the corresponding period last year. The number of cases reported from September 1, 1927, to December 14, 1927, was 1534. In the figures just given there is every indi- cation that the disease is appearing in increasing numbers, as has been anticipated, therefor those citizens, whose children have not been immunized, should see that the greatest possible care is ex- ercised in the handling of articles displayed in stores and should caution the children not to put anything into their mouths that has not been thoroughly washed and cleaned.


The excellent results that are being obtained through the medium of our dental clinic are also important factors in our health program. Still, in spite of the efforts of our dentists, we can not begin to care for the emergency cases that are constantly awaiting attention. This condition is due to the fact that the funds available for this work permits the employment of a dentist but one day each week. There is a very urgent need of more time being devoted to this work before we can hope to cope with the situation.


The ash and garbage service as maintained by the contrac- tors of the past year has proven highly satisfactory, where the type of work performed is taken into consideration.


Under our present system of caring for the waste material deposited upon the dumps, the same orderly appearance has been maintained as usual.


All beaches were given their usual pre-season cleaning. This method of cleaning, however, does not appear to be meeting with the approval of those who use the beaches. The complaints are not directed against the quality of the work but against the town for its failure to keep the beaches clean throughout the summer season. The ever increasing number of motorists who are visit- ing and enjoying the unexcelled facilities that our beaches offer, has been responsible for much of this demand for more frequent cleaning.


106


TOWN DOCUMENTS


[Dec. 31


The revision of our sanitary code and the adoption of new isolation and quarantine regulations has removed many obsolete and bothersome regulations from our books and has made the handling of communicable diseases more in keeping with present day methods.


During the year twenty-one (21) alcohol, seven (7) manicure and one (1) non-alcoholic licenses have been issued, and four (4) arm bands were sold to be used in accordance with the whooping- cough regulation. The sum of thirty-eight dollars and eighty cents ($38.80) has been received therefor and said amount paid to the Collector and his receipt obtained.

Dental Clinic


To the Board of Health:


Gentlemen :- We herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1927.


Under the present system of operating the Dental Clinic, one day per week, there is little prospect of our being able to accom- plish much in the way of reducing the large number of emer- gency cases that are constantly awaiting our attention. If the clinic is to accomplish its purpose arrangements must be made so that additional time can be devoted to the work so that present conditions can be relieved and the work arranged upon a pro- gressive basis.


An idea of the condition of the teeth of the children attend- ing the elementary grades of the public school may be obtained in the following summary of the examinations made soon after the opening of schools in September.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR


1927]


Milk Inspector


To the Board of Health:


Gentlemen :- I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1927:


Lack of equipment necessary for making examinations as re- quired by law and the press of other business upon the time of the technician has resulted in considerable difficulty in obtaining satisfactory bacteriological work and reports during the past year. Such conditions have not been for the best interests of either the department or town. I recommend that the present arrangement be discontinued and other arrangements be made for such work as soon as possible.


The following licenses and permits have been issued during the past year:


To stores


59


To dealers 18


To sell ice cream 37


To sell oleomargarine . 7


To manufacture ice cream 4


The sum of $46.00 has been received for said licenses and this amount has been paid to the Collector and his receipt obtained. Respectfully submitted,


C. W. HORTON, Milk Inspector.
