BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT - 1959


The Town of West Bridgewater has been growing steadily and your new Board of Health has been kept busy investigating various problems that have been brought to our attention. A great deal of work and study has been done to partially complete our major task of organizing and developing policies, which enforced, will do much to eliminate many unsanitary conditions existing in our town. In many cases, we have called upon individuals to carry out their obligations as good citizens. We are happy to report that several unhealthy conditions have been corrected this past year by the cooperation of such citizens. The Board feels that this cooperation is essential in order to maintain a high standard of public health in our expanding community.


This past year 60 cases of communicable diseases and 23 cases of dog bite have been reported. We would like to stress the im- portance of reporting these to the town hall as soon as possible.


During the year of 1959, studies were made regarding an improvement to the town dump. Some improvement measures were carried out and plans were made to develop a more sanitary and convenient dumping area.


The need for a part time sanitarian was taken under advise- ment. The members agreed that the board should initiate a


48


periodic bacteriological inspection of our local eating establish- ments and school lunch facilities. This would help maintain a standard of sanitation and reassure those who patronize these establishments. The Board decided to ask for funds to carry out an inspection program.


The assistance of the Board of Selectmen and other depart- ments has been invaluable. We wish to thank Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Brown for their energetic work in behalf of the Board, as well as others who have helped and guided this past year.


Respectfully submitted,


DR. RICHARD GUIDOBONI JOHN A. HOWE HAROLD P. HALL

DOG OFFICER


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The past two years, I have been having a problem with dogs being abandoned by people due to the new highway. These dogs mostly are old dogs, or sick dogs. They are left by the road by out-of-towners, and there isn't much to be done about it except pick them up.


The other problem is dog tags. They are made of soft metal with a steel clip to go on the collar. The tag wears off in a short time on any dog that is running a lot. Maybe some day the higher- ups will come up with the idea that a steel eyelet pressed into the soft metal tag would keep the tag on a dog all year, and cut the number of strays, thereby saving the town's money paid out for stray dogs.


If people think anything of their pets - and most people do - I would appreciate it if they went to the Town Clerk and got a new tag when losing their dogs.


All dogs that we have on record are licensed this year. Those that are not, should be licensed to avoid action being taken against them if I find that they have an unlicensed dog.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN L. DOWNS, JR. Dog Officer

PLANNING BOARD


The Planning Board submits their Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1959.


The Planning Board meets the first and third Wednesday of each month, in the conference room on the second floor of the Town Hall. During the year there were thirty regular and special meetings held by the Board, including four Public Hearings; five joint meetings with other Town Boards, including the Board of Selectmen, the Water Commissioners, the Board of Health, and the Board of Appeals, on matters pertaining to the interest of the Town.


There were sixteen applications for subdivision of land facing on approved Town roads. Thirteen of these applications were approved. Three were denied inasmuch as they did not meet the minimum requirements for frontage and area. Two applications were received for subdivisions requiring a new road; of these, one was approved after a Public Hearing and posting of a Bond to insure completion of the road. The other application was reviewed, a Public Hearing held and a conditional approval granted requiring the road to be completed before any lots therein were sold or houses built within the subdivision.


All applications received during the year for earth removal were referred to the Planning Board, an inspection committee appointed consisting of members of both the Planning Board and the Board of Selectmen, who inspected the site designated in the application and submitted a written report, containing the


57


recommendations of the inspecting committee, to the Board of Selectmen as a basis for their action on the applications.


During the year much time was given to present and future needs of the Town in regard to drainage and sidewalk construction. The Board will again sponsor an article in the Annual Town War- rant for additional sidewalk construction.


Spurred by statements released by World Famous Scientists on our explosive population growth ... "That the population of the United States would reach the three hundred million mark within the next forty years" ... the Planning Board has been con- cerned with the effect this tremendous increase in our population will have upon the economy of our community; of the increasing number of people who, for economy or convenience, are turning to the Trailer Coach as a temporary solution to their housing problem; plus the fact that neither the State nor the Town has an adequate Trailer Coach Park regulation at the present time.


In anticipation that sooner or later there will be applications to establish Trailer Coach Parks in the Town, the Planning Board has drawn up a proposed Trailer Coach Park regulation to be included in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting. During the preparation of this proposed regulation, the Planning Board contacted by letter the State Boards of Health in forty-four of our fifty states, requesting their advice and assistance in the preparation of a good, sound and progressive Trailer Coach Park Regulation.


Our Board is deeply grateful for the cooperation and assistance received from so many of the State Boards of Health. We have heard from the Chairmen of nearly every State Board of Health to whom we have written. Nearly all sent us copies of their own Regulations, many giving detailed advice which has been very helpful.


We found that nearly all the States, that had adopted a Trailer Park Regulation within recent years had followed quite closely the recommended Ordinance Governing Trailer Coach Parks, prepared by the Federal Security Agency, Division of Sanitation, Public Health Service, an agency of the Federal Government; which has been published and distributed by the Trailer Coach Manufacturers Association.


58


In compiling the Trailer Coach Park Regulation we also have followed the outline and recommendations of the Federal Security Agency and believe that we have prepared a good, sound and progressive Trailer Coach Park Regulation for you to act upon at the Annual Town Meeting.


The Planning Board therefore recommends that the Town not only accept the report of the Planning Board, but also adopt as a By-Law of the Town the Trailer Coach Regulation Ordinance as hereinafter published.


Respectfully submitted,


H. EDWARD PARRY, Chairman MERTON H. OUDERKIRK, Secretary RUSSELL P. ROBERY JOHN D. FRATES EVERETT W. KEELER
