REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health herewith submits its 33rd annual report since its inception as a separate department. In making up this report we shall base our tabulations on a 27,000 popula- tion. The Board meets the first Monday evening of each month. During the past year twelve regular and one special meetings have been held. At the Annual Town Meeting of March 7, 1927, Charles F. Atwood, M.D., was re-elected a member of the Board for the term of three years, and after qualifying before the Town Clerk, the Board, consisting of Mr. Alfred W. Lombard, Charles F. Atwood, M.D., and Ernest R. Brooks, D.M.D., held a special meeting March 9, and organized by re-electing Mr. Alfred W. Lombard to serve as its Chairman for the ensuing year.
At the regular monthly meeting held April 4, the following appointments were made for the year ending April 1, 1928:
WILLIAM H. BRADLEY, Agent and Clerk. EZEKIEL PRATT, M.D., Physician to Board. EZEKIEL PRATT, M.D., Bacteriologist. E. F. MACKAY, D.M.D., Dental Operator. HELEN HEFFERNAN, R.N., Asst. to Dental Operator. HELEN HEFFERNAN, R.N., Board of Health Nurse. ALFRED W. LOMBARD, Inspector of Milk.
WILLIAM H. BRADLEY, Collector of Milk Samples. ARTHUR TAYLOR, Inspector of Slaughtering. WILLIAM H. BRADLEY, Inspector of Slaughtering.
In beginning this report we feel that the citizens of the Town should know as to why our annual expenditures have increased from approximately $12,000 for the year 1925 to more than $20,000 for the year 1927.
229
230
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Previous to June, 1925, all tubercular patients were cared for at the several State Sanatoria at a cost of $7.00 per week per patient. The General Acts of 1916, Chapter 286, provides in substance, that the County Commissioners of each County are authorized and directed to provide adequate hospital care for all persons residing in cities and towns in their County, having less than fifty thousand population and suffering from consumption. Hospitals to be available for patients on or before the first day of January, 1918. From time to time, for various reasons, the law was amended, and the time for providing such hospital care finally extended to September 1, 1925.
In conforming with this law the County Commissioners of Middlesex County entered into a contract with the State De- partment of Public Health for a period of eighteen months from June 1, 1925, to care for adult pulmonary tuberculosis patients within the County at the Rutland State Sanatorium at a cost of $17.50 per week per patient. Each city or town within the district sending a patient to the Sanatorium will, when bills are rendered, pay to the Treasurer of Middlesex County the sum of $7.00 per week for such patient. The remaining $10.50 per week due for each and every patient admitted during the year throughout the district is then totaled, and divided by general taxation among all the cities and towns in the hospital district, each paying its proportionate share based on the assessed valuation of each, regardless as to whether they may or may not have had a patient at the Sanatorium during the year. Under this contract our assessment from June 1 to December 1, 1925 (six months), amounted to $1,193.53. And from December 1, 1925, to December 1, 1926 (twelve months), $6,758.94. This is the principal reason for the aforementioned increase.
During the year there has, in accordance with the law, been reported to this office 781 cases of the various communi- cable diseases, against 1,248 cases for 1926. While the diseases were much less in number for the year 1927 than that of 1926, our expenditures for care was greater, due to the large number of cases we were called upon to hospitalize.
231
BOARD OF HEALTH
We will give the number, make comparisons, with the following comments which may be of interest in regard to the various diseases reported during the year.
ANTERIOR POLIOMYELITIS (INFANTILE PARALYSIS) : During the late summer and early fall months this disease was epidemic in several sections of the country. Eight cases were reported to this office against two cases for 1926. So little is known as to the cause or transmission of this disease, we will attempt no comment.
DIPHTHERIA : Ten cases with one death were reported, against twelve cases with no deaths for 1926. While the trend of Diphtheria all over the country has been down- ward for the past few years, due undoubtedly to the extensive use of Toxin-Antitoxin Immunization, the disease will continue to be considered by health officials as a dangerous one, until parents in general realize and take advantage of the protection afforded by artificial im- munization.
SCARLET FEVER: One hundred and sixty-seven cases of this disease were reported against one hundred and one cases for 1926. Many of these were secondary cases occurring in the same family, and might have been avoided had reasonable quarantine been maintained in the home.
MEASLES: Twenty-six cases of this disease were reported against three hundred and ninety-two cases for 1926. This is thought to be the most highly contagious of all the diseases of childhood, and while the average parent looks upon a case of measles lightly, almost with contempt, public health officials look upon it as one of the dangerous diseases, particularly in the very young child, owing to the frequency with which it is followed by Broncho-Pneumonia, and oftentimes with fatal results.
WHOOPING COUGH: One hundred and thirty-three cases were reported against two hundred and eighty-eight for 1926. This disease is also highly contagious, and owing to
232
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
the difficulty of diagnosis is hard to control. Where this disease is prevalent in a neighborhood parents should take every precaution in protecting their children from exposure.
DENTAL CLINIC
The Dental Clinic with E. F. MacKay, D.M.D., as operator, and Miss Helen Heffernan, R.N., assistant, has functioned satisfactorily during the year. A detailed report of the work performed will be found under the report of the Dental Clinic.
SPY POND
The water in the pond has been maintained at a high level, there has been no noticeable weed growths, and for the first year in many not a single complaint has been received at this office. For these conditions we believe credit is due the committee appointed at the special Town Meeting of January 14, 1926.
SUCKER BROOK
We have received the usual number of complaints in regard to this brook the past year. The condition of the brook itself is deplorable. In many sections it is nothing more or less than a ditch. It serves as a catch-all for every description of waste matter, including dead animals, fowl, etc. We believe the time has arrived when definite measures should be taken to improve these conditions. A new channel should be established and the brook, with the exception of the new section in rear of High School, rebuilt from the Arlington Heights Reservoir to the Mystic Lake. As this work should come under the direction of the Board of Public Works, we have written said Board, calling their attention to the matter.
PUBLIC SEWERS
As sewers are necessary for the health and welfare of a community, we would like to see sewer mains installed in every street throughout the Town. This of course would not be
233
BOARD OF HEALTH
immediately possible. We do hope, however, that ample funds will be voted for sewer purposes in order that present mains may be extended wherever necessary, and new ones installed where most needed. 7
LICENSES AND PERMITS
The usual licenses and permits required by Statue Law and our regulations have been issued.
REPORTS
The financial report of the department, giving a detailed report of expenditures and receipts, together with morbidity and mortality reports, and reports of appointees are appended.
