Report of Board of Health
To the Voters and Citizens of Wakefield:
The Board of Health herewith presents to the town its record for 1939 of its several varying activities in behalf of the health of the town.
The Board of Health as well as the town of Wakefield, was, early in the year, bereaved by what seemed the untimely passing of Doctor Carl E. Allison, who for several years had given most willingly of his time and thought to the Board's activities, and his death is re- gretted by all who had known him.
Later at a convention of the Board of Selectmen and the remaining members of the Board of Health, Doctor Robert Dutton was chosen to fill Doctor Allison's place until the next town meeting.
105
BOARD OF HEALTH
In the month of June the Board of Health, after care- ful consideration and after having been strongly urged by State Authorities, in the interest of Public Health, adopted a regulation, the same to be effective January 1, 1940, requiring all milk sold or intended for sale, either to be certified according to the General Laws, Chap. 94, Sec. 16C or to be pasteurized. The effect of this regula- tion will be that the milk supply of Wakefield will be 100% pasteurized. The adoption of this regulation is in line with practically every city and town in Massachu- setts.
The Board of Health has from time to time referred to the many unsightly places caused by the promiscuous dumping of refuse by those whose only object seems to be to get such refuse away from their own property.
The Board of Health after a good deal of considera- tion of the subject, has concluded that the only way by which such nuisances can be avoided is by a collection sponsored by the town through the Board of Health. The exact cost of such collection has not of course been determined, but the Board is confident a weekly collec- tion for the whole town may be had for about $5,000.00 per year. The Board of Health will have an article in the town warrant asking authority to set up such col- lection. Nearly all surrounding towns and cities have such a public service.
The year 1939 has presented to the Board of Health a new problem. For some years past all first year school children have been immunized against diphthe- ria, and by this time practically all school children with the consent of their parents have been so immunized, and had the Schick test. This leaves children of pre- school age for whom no special provision for immuniza- tion against the dread disease diphtheria is made.
106
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
DR. CARL E. ALLISON Appointed to the Board of Health on Nov. 21, 1933 Died June 9, 1939
During the late months of the year, Diphtheria attacked children of pre-school age, and as a result Wakefield has lost one child and society has been called upon to meet bills and expenses amounting to nearly four hundred dollars. The Board feels that some concerted effort should be entered upon that these pre- school children be protected for their own sake and that the town be freed from this financial hazard.
The attention of the townspeople is called to the fact that in case of anti-rabic treatment of human beings, unless the dog which is the cause of the trouble is licensed for the year in which the treatment is needed. the expense of this treatment must be paid for by the town. Wakefield in 1939 had one such case, and already since January 1, 1940, a case has appeared. The cost of each such case is nearly forty dollars.
The Board of Health is called upon to announce the retirement of Mr. David Taggart, who for twenty-nine
107
BOARD OF HEALTH
years had acted as Agent of the Board and as Plumbing Inspector and who for six years had previously been a member of the Board. The Board and the town owe thanks to Mr. Taggart for the faithful service he had continued to render the town through his many years of service.
The retirement of Mr. Taggart necessitated the ap- pointment of some person to continue the duties of Health Agent and Plumbing Inspector. The Plumbing Inspector is a civil service officer, so the Board asked the Civil Service Commissioners to present a civil service list. As yet no such list has been set up, but since the first of July, with consent of the Civil Service Commis- sioners, Mr. David Martin has acted as Provisional Plumbing Inspector, to which position he was elected by the Board. Mr. Martin has also performed the duties of Agent of the Board. Both of these services Mr. Martin has rendered to the satisfaction of the Board.
This coming year the Board will hold a clinic for immunization of dogs against rabies, and the Board wishes to urge all dog owners to bring their pets, this for the protection of the dogs, but more especially for the protection of the public.
Acting under authority of Section 128, Chap. 94 of Massachusetts Statutes and with the approval of the State Department of Public Health, the Board appointed Doctor Cornelius Thibeault, Inspector of Slaughtering. There has been no slaughtering and no expense to the town for inspection.
The Board continues the four year comparison of reportable diseases and the comparison of the cost of the same in the tables listed below:

1 trip to Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, Mass.
1 trip to Children's Hospital, Boston, Mass.
The total receipts of the Health Department for the year 1939 was $329.00; $132.00 being receipts of the Milk Inspector; $167.00 being receipts of the Plumbing In- spector, and the balance, $30.00, receipts for licenses and reimbursement. The Town also receives from the State through the Board of Health, a T. B. subsidy amounting to $1,610.69.
During the year 1939, the Board of Health has hospi- talized eighteen tubercular patients at the different sanatoriums, and eight patients with scarlet fever, two with diphtheria. Two of the patients hospitalized for scarlet fever were living in Malden, but had Wakefield settlements.

Tuberculosis Dispensary Report -
The annual report of the Tuberculosis Dispensary is herewith respectfully submitted.
The dispensary is open the first and third Friday evenings from 8 to 9 P. M., and the second and third Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 to 4.30 P. M.
We have had fewer patients at the dispensary this year than usual. This is due to the fact that ex-sana- torium patients now return to the sanatorium for chest examinations and X-rays. Previously we examined many of the discharged patients.
We have examined at the Dispensary during the year, suspicious cases, contact cases, and a number of underweight children. Sixty-two examinations were made.
A number of the cases examined at the dispensary are sent to North Reading State Sanatoriums for X-rays and intradermal tests. Miss Russell makes the appoint- ments and arranges for transportation if patients are unable to provide transportation. The Health Depart- ment also provides transportation for ex-sanatorium patients to return to the sanatorium for chest examina- tions and X-rays and treatment if they are unable to provide transportation.
There were nine new cases of tuberculosis reported to the Health Department this year, and two deaths.
Respectfully submitted, IRA W. RICHARDSON, M. D., Dispensary Physician.

Report of Health Officer
Board of Health:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my report as Health Officer for the year ending December 31, 1939.
The usual routine work of this office remains much about the same as years gone by, except that general complaints increase as our town grows.
Over-flowing cess-pools and unsanitary accumulation of rubbish in congested areas have been the cause of many complaints; however, the extension of the sanitary
110
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
sewer in the outlying districts will eventually eliminate the cess-pool condition.
Garbage complaints in certain instances have not been justified because of unsatisfactory containers. In this respect I would recommend an underground con- tainer if possible, otherwise the installation of a suitable and sizeable container with a cover which cannot be removed by dogs or other animals.
. The practise of promiscuous dumping around town other than the supervised dumps, namely, New Salem Street and Green Street, presents a serious problem. It is my belief that the time is not far distant when our town will have to provide municipal collection of refuse.
Six hundred and sixty-five inspections and adjust- ments have been handled through this office in the past year and all with gratifying results.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID MARTIN,
Health Officer and Agent.

MILK AND FOOD INSPECTOR
Report of Milk and Food Inspector
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted my report as Inspector of Milk and Food for the year ending December 31, 1939.
The work of Milk and Food Inspection, as carried on during the past year, may, for the purpose of this report, be divided into three branches, namely: office routine, field work and laboratory practice.
The office work consisted principally in the keeping of records, issuing of all licenses and permits, and the handling of correspondence.
The field operations included inspection of dairies, visiting of food selling establishments, and adjusting such complaints as may have arisen.
The laboratory branch consisted of the usual check-up on standards of fats, solids and bacteria, as well as for pasteurization and sediment.
Of particular note during the year was the Regula- tion, as passed by the Board of Health, specifying that on and after January 1st, 1940, all milk sold in the Town of Wakefield, must either be pasteurized or certi- fied, thereby discontinuing the allowance of the sale of common raw milk.
This ruling effected less than 5% of the milk supply of the Town.
It may not be regarded as an overstatement at this time to say that all of the milk-borne contagious dis- eases, occurring here in past years could be traced directly to sources of this kind.
The following summary would seem to convey a more complete view of the work:
Retail Milk licenses issued
62
Dealers' Milk licenses issued 46

Report of Board of Public Welfare
To the Citizens of Wakefield:
The administration of Public Welfare carries with it problems too numerous to record in a single report.
Relief should be administered on broad social princi- ples, which involves sound policies in determining how to relieve the situation, and if expense is involved, make the most judicious use of public funds.
Strictly speaking, the furnishing of relief is manda- tory by law. The person in need may not be a citizen, or morally deserving, but it is the duty of a Board of Public Welfare in the municipality in which he is found in distress to aid him. In the case of a person who has no legal settlement in our town, the aid granted is directly chargeable to his home town, or in the case of lost settlement, to the State. The matter of settlement cannot be defined in so simple a statement; it is one of the major parts of administrative work, requiring accurate and prompt action. We have billed thousands of dollars to the State and other cities and towns for general relief. The money received goes directly into the town treasury. It is not credited to the Department, although the money was actually spent from our appro- priation and if credited would show a smaller net cost of our general aid.
During the past year the entire State Department of Public Welfare has been re-organized. Districts have been established, with Medford the district center for Wakefield. We now have a trained State Supervisor in our Department two days each week. New forms and reports, required by the State, incidental to the granting of relief in all its classifications, are in use.
The number of persons on our rolls has decreased. Several men have been assigned to W. P. A., others have found private employment. Unless conditions change the expenditures for general relief should not increase. This, of course, is problematical.
113
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
It is interesting to note that during the past year the Department has distributed 491 pairs of shoes, 104 pairs of sneakers, 74 pairs of rubbers.
Our records show that 23,425 gallons of oil, 188 cords of wood, 18 tons of coal have been granted. Only in cases of aged persons or illness has coal been provided. The wood supply is sufficient for 1940 distribution.
There are three divisions of Public Welfare, namely; General or Outside Relief, Aid to Dependent Children. and a separate Bureau, Old Age Assistance.
The following report shows a considerable decrease in the department expenditures for the year 1939.

AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
The division of Aid to Dependent Children is one of the most constructive in the social service program. The amount of money granted, which is in the form of cash, is determined by the local board, and is subject to both State and Federal regulations. The town is reimbursed for this aid in the following manner. State reimburse- ment one-third of the total expended; Federal reim- bursement one-third of a maximum of eighteen dollars for the first child and one-third of a maximum of twelve dollars for each additional child. The age limit is eighteen if in school.

TOWN INFIRMARY
Another W. P. A. project is in progress, which includes the unfinished project of last year, plus the following: new cement floors in the inmates' dining room and hallway. The joining together of old and new smoking room and old and new laundry. The removing of an unused chimney. The elimination of three bedrooms, making one large dormitory on the second floor for men. Two sets of new cement steps at front entrance. When completed the interior of the Infirmary will be in better condition than ever before.
Two ventilation fans have been installed in the smok- ing room and one in the kitchen.
Vegetables sufficient for the use of the Infirmary have been raised-excess given to recipients.
New suits have been purchased for all men inmates.
116

OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Application for Old Age Assistance can be made by citizens, 65 years or over, whose financial circumstances are such, that they require assistance.
May we remind you that Old Age Assistance is not an Old Age Pension.
The local bureau has the duty of determining eligi- bility and is subject to state and federal regulations.
The law still requires children to support their par- ents provided they are able to do so. A careful check to determine their ability to assist in full or in part is required.
The total expense of this division would be extremely heavy without both State and Federal reimbursements.
Old Age and Survivors Insurance has just gone into effect, and it is doubtful if it will materially affect this division during 1940.
