REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the citizens of the Town of Weymouth:
The Board of Health met and organized March 12, 1934. Joseph Crehan was elected chairman, F. L. Doucett clerk and Thomas Mac- Donald agent. George Marshall was appointed plumbing inspector, M. L. Loud milk inspector and Jeremiah Donovan care of public dumps. Katherine Pratt was appointed public health nurse.
The repeal of prohibition has added greatly to the duties of the plumbing inspector. In only a very few cases where licenses were granted was any sanitary provisions made for the use of the patrons. All these establishments were either brought up to the legal sanitary requirements or closed.
During the last few years the milk producers and dealers have been doing a great deal to improve the milk supply and to-day prac- tically all the milk sold in Weymouth is pasteurized. This is a big for- ward movement and the milk producers and dealers are worthy of praise for the work they have done. All herds have been tuberculin tested and the reactors disposed of.
During the year the following contagious diseases have been re- ported :
Anterior Poliomyelitis
1 Mumps 10
Chicken Pox
36 Scarlet Fever 62
Dog Bite 53 Septic Sore Throat 1
Lobar Pneumonia
6 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 11
Measles
203 Tuberculous Meningitis 1
Whooping Cough
23
This compares favorably with other years except in the incident of dog bite which has increase from only 7 in 1932 to 53 in 1934. Four of those bitten were treated with rabies vaccine.
We strongly recommend that all dogs that are allowed to run loose are immunized against rabies.
Our chairman Joseph Crehan died November 20, 1934, after serv- ing on the Board of Health for almost six years.
All who knew him and worked with him will miss his genial smile and his ever ready good humor.
We lost a true friend and a faithful servant.
At a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Health, Daniel Clancy was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Crehan until the next March meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS MacDONALD DANIEL CLANCY FREDERICK L. DOUCETT
