REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health respectfully submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1910:
The present Board, consisting of Dr. Laurence L. Peirce, Alfred H. Knowles and Dr. Guy E. Sanger, met March 14, 1910, and organized with Dr. Peirce as chairman, and Mr. Horace A. Free- man as clerk. Mr. Freeman served the Board until the time of his death, November 26, 1910, since which time the position has been filled by Mr. Thomas J. Robinson.
The general health of the Town, in regard to contagious dis- eases, has been good, there not having been any serious outbreaks of any kind.
COLLECTION OF ASHES AND OFFAL.
As pointed out in the report for 1909, the expense of this de- partment is continually increasing owing to the rapid growth of the Town, especially in some sections, and we have had to ask for an additional appropriation in order to carry on the work. We refer you to the following comparison table with that of the year. 1909:

The garbage plant has proven successful and has placed the Town on a modern basis in regard to the disposal of the offal.
SANITARY CONDITIONS.
We feel that the present sanitary conditions of the Town are much improved over those of a year ago. In the east section, the Henderson and Teel Streets district, great improvement has been made in regard to sewer connections. In other parts of the
164
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Town, wherever cesspools have been called to the attention of the Board, we have in most cases been able to have connections made with the public sewer. We would refer you further to the reports of the Sanitary and Plumbing Inspectors, whose work has in every way been very satisfactory.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES FOR WHICH THE TOWN HAS BECOME LIABLE.
Under Chapter 213, Acts of 1902, as amended, the Town has been liable for eight contagious diseases, costing the Town $572.35. While the number of cases is smaller than in 1909 there having been eighteen in that year, the expense has been greater in pro- portion, the expense in 1909 being $800. The expense under this head cannot be foreseen, and, therefore, will be the cause of an overdraft each year.
REPORTABLE DISEASES.
The Board has adjudged the diseases known as scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever, diphtheria, small-pox, membraneous croup, cholera, yellow fever, typhus fever, cerebro-spinal men- ingitis, hydrophobia, malignant pustule, leprosy, trichinosis, tuberculosis, ophthalmia of the newly-born, actinomysis, glanders, tetanus, varicella, whooping-cough as infectious or contagious, and dangerous to the public health and safety within the mean- ing of the Statutes. Physicians are required to report immediately to the Board every case of either of these diseases coming under their care, and postal cards conveniently printed and addressed are supplied to them for this purpose. On receipt of a card from a physician the Superintendent of Schools, Principal of High School, Trustees of Robbins Library and School Physician are notified. Mr. Charles T. Hartwell acts as fumigator in behalf of the Board.
CULTURE STATIONS.
Culture tubes for diphtheria, sputum-bottles for suspected tuberculosis and anti-toxin are provided by the State Board of Health and placed by this Board with H. A. Perham, druggist, for the use of physicians.
165
BOARD OF HEALTH
NEW PLUMBING AND DRAINAGE REGULATIONS.
The plumbing and drainage regulations used in the past having proven to be unsuitable for present conditions, the Board have had under consideration the past year a new set, which after care- ful consideration has been adopted, and the same will be out of the printer's hands the first week in January. The Board wishes to express its appreciation of the work done in regard to this mat- ter on the part of one of its members, Mr. A. H. Knowles and Mr. George W. Day, the Plumbing Inspector.
SLAUGHTERING ESTABLISHMENTS.
Licenses for slaughtering have been granted to William and Frank Bowman, the same to be done on their premises, east of the lower end of Broadway, and Mr. Frank P. Winn has acted as Inspector of Slaughtering for the Board at a salary of $120 per year. Recently several letters of complaint have been received from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and from the Board of Health of the City of Boston, demanding that the Town live up to a strict interpretation of the law, which re- quires the presence of the inspector during the whole time of slaughtering. As it would be absurd to expect any one to give such amount of time for the above salary the Board will in all probability in the near future ask for a much larger salary for the Inspector of Slaughtering, to enable us to carry on the work as called for by the Statutes.
REPORTS OF OFFICERS OF THE BOARD.
The reports of the several officers of the Board are appended, to which attention is called.
FINANCIAL.
For detail as to expenditures reference is made to the report of the Auditor.

No public or circulating library book shall be taken into any house or apartment whereon a placard has been placed, as provided in Section 3, before the authorized removal of said placard. All books, papers, toys and other articles in a room where there is a person sick with scarlet fever or diphtheria which cannot be thoroughly disinfected must be destroyed.

Chapter 480, Acts of 1907: An act to provide for the compulsory notification and registration of tuberculosis and other diseases dangerous to the public Health.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows:
SECTION 1. Sections forty-nine and fifty of Chapter seventy-five of the Revised Laws, as amended by Chapter two hundred and fifty-one of the Acts of the year nineteen hundred and five, and Section fifty-two of said Chapter seventy-five are hereby amended by inserting after the word "disease," wherever it may occur in said sections, the words: - declared by the State Board of Health to be, - so as to read as follows: - Section 49.

Upon the death, recovery or removal of such person, the householder shall disinfect to the satisfaction of the Board such rooms of his house and articles therein as, in the opinion of the Board, have been exposed to infection or contagion. Should one or both eyes of an infant become inflamed, swollen and red, and show an unnatural discharge at any time within two weeks after its birth, it shall be the duty of the nurse, relative or other attendant having charge of such infant to report in writing within six hours thereafter, to the Board of Health of the city or town in which the parents of the infant reside, the fact that such inflammation, swelling and redness of the eyes and un-
168
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
natural discharge exist. On receipt of such report, or of notice of the same symptoms given by a physician as provided by the following section, the Board of Health shall take such immediate action as it may deem necessary in order that blindness may be prevented. Whoever violates the provisions of this sec- tion shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars. Section 50. If a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease declared by the State Board of Health to be dangerous to the public health, or if one or both eyes of an infant whom or whose mother he is called to visit become inflamed, swollen or red, and show an unnatural discharge within two weeks after the birth of such infant, he shall immediately give notice thereof in writing over his own signature to the Selectmen or Board of Health of the town; and if he refuses or neglects to give such notice, he shall forfeit not less than fifty or more · than two hundred dollars for each offense. Section 52. If the Board of Health of a city or town has had notice of a case of small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease declared by the State Board of Health to be dangerous to the public health therein, it shall within twenty-four hours there- after give notice thereof to the State Board of Health stating the name and location of the patient so afflicted, and the secretary thereof shall forthwith transmit a copy of such notice to the State Board of Charity.
SEC. 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage. [Approved June 6, 1907.]

Chap. 75, Sec. 137. The Board of Health of a city or town, if in its opinion it is necessary for the public health or safety, shall require and enforce the vaccination and revaccination of all the inhabitants thereof and shall provide them with the means of free vaccination. Whoever, being over twenty-one years of age and not under guardianship, refuses or neglects to comply with such requirement, shall forfeit five dollars.
Chap. 44, Sec. 6. [Revised Laws, as amended by Chap. 371, Acts of 1906.] A child who has not been vaccinated shall not be admitted to a public school except upon presentation of a certifi- cate signed by a regular practicing physician that he is not a fit subject for vaccination.

NOTE. Section 139, referred to above, exempts children who present a certificate signed by a registered physician that they are unfit subjects for vaccination. Application for free vaccination by persons who are unable to pay for it, may be made to the Clerk or Agent of the Board of Health.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK.
January 1, 1911.
To the Board of Health, Town of Arlington.
