ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
Honorable Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works.
Gentlemen :
During the past year, as during many prior years, the work of the Town Counsel has consisted chiefly of services rendered to various town boards, officers and employees in matters which involved questions of law or required experi- ence in legal affairs. This has necessitated attendance at meetings of boards and committees, consultations with town officers, employees and others, the furnishing of opinions, the examination and preparation of instruments and the perform- ance of miscellaneous other duties. As to all such services it does not seem fitting for the Town Counsel to submit a report.
The foregoing applies in large measure to claims and court actions, but it has been customary to make a general statement relative to them. It has not been deemed wise to set them forth in detail. In courts other than the Land Court, including equity suits and actions of scire facias, twenty-two proceedings were initiated, resulting in a net increase of twelve at the end of the year. In the Land Court, the Town's title to one parcel was registered and the Town was repre- sented in five other cases. There has been a slight increase in the number of appeals pending before the Appellate Tax Board. Of the increased number of claims made during the year, some have been abandoned or settled without court action. All pay- ments have been approved by the Board of Selectmen.
The Town Counsel wishes to declare his high appreciation of the continued co-operation of other workers for the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL M. WHITE, Town Counsel.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE MEDICAL INSPECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town Hall, Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I present you herewith the report of the Medical Inspector of the Department of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1938.

From the above figures it is apparent that there has been only a slight increase in the total number of medical calls in 1938 over 1937 (an increase of forty-five (45) calls). This is particularly gratifying in view of the fact that the number of recipients has increased materially, especially the Old Age Assistance cases. The per cent of increase is insignificant as compared with the first year I took office (1933), when there was an increase of over one hundred per cent over the previous year.
If the thirty-five hundred fifty-five (3555) calls made in 1938 were spread out equally throughout the year, the task would be relatively simple, averaging approximately six (6) office calls and three (3) house calls per day. Unfortunately this is not the case and on many occasions during the winter
415
TOWN PHYSICIAN
months it was found necessary to make as many as sixteen (16) house calls per day. When this situation persisted for several days in succession the amounts of physical effort re- quired and of nervous energy expended was tremendous.
The general health conditions of our recipients are ex- cellent. They are no more subject to disease than is any mem- ber of the general population. Every demand made upon the Department for care, either medical, surgical or domiciliary has been met. No recipient of Arlington has suffered because of lack of medicine, medical care or hospitalization.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD W. FEELEY, B.S.,M.D.,
Medical Inspector, Department of Public Welfare.

At the annual Town Meeting, held March 7, 1938, Dr. Ernest R. Brooks was re-elected a member of the Board of Health for a term of three years. The Board held a special meeting on date of March 10, 1938, after Dr. Brooks qualified before the Town Clerk and organized by re-electing Mr. Alfred W. Lombard as Chairman for the ensuing year.

** Appointed November 7, 1938.
It is with much satisfaction that the Arlington Board of Health is able to report that the year 1938 has been one of the healthiest years in the Town's history. Perhaps the greatest factors to be considered in health work are the prevention, detection and control of communicable disease. This work is effective only when there is close co-operation between the individuals who are infected, the physicians, nurses and the Board of Health. The record for the past year in a measure can be held indicative of that close co-operation, which is so much desired. Mention is made below of the major diseases, with some comment wherever necessary.
DIPHTHERIA: Not a single case of this disease was re- ported for the year 1938. The sharp decrease in the incidence of this disease is to no small degree attributed to the general use of preventive medicine in the form of Diphtheria Toxoid. The policy of the Board of Health to conduct two free public Diphtheria Clinics yearly has been maintained, and at the Spring and Fall clinics in 1938, three hundred and ninety- eight children received this treatment at a cost to the Town of .$341/2 per child.
418
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
MEASLES: One hundred and fifty-six cases of this dis- ease were reported during 1938 as against one hundred and ninety-seven cases reported for the year 1937.
PNEUMONIA, LOBAR: Twenty-eight cases of this dis- sease were reported in 1938 as against thirty cases in 1937. Pneumonia still remains one of the principal causes of death.
SCARLET FEVER: Forty-two cases of Scarlet Fever were reported throughout the past year as compared with fifty- one cases reported in 1937.
TUBERCULOSIS, PULMONARY: Twenty-six cases of this disease were reported during the year 1938 as against thirty-five cases for the year 1937. The decline of the inci- dence of this disease is most noticeable.
TUBERCULOSIS, OTHER FORMS: Five cases of this disease were reported in 1938 as against four cases for the preceding year.
RABID ANIMALS, BITES, etc. No case of Rabies in ani- mals was reported during the last year. The annual clinic for inoculating dogs against Rabies was conducted in the Spring. At this clinic nine hundred and forty-nine dogs, from a total of one thousand six hundred and sixty dogs licensed in the Town, were inoculated at a cost to the Town of $.56 a dog. The Board at this time wishes to stress upon the citizenry of the Town of Arlington the importance of determining the name of the owner of any dog involved in a case of biting. In 1938 eleven persons were given the Antirabic Treatment as con- trasted with twenty-one persons in 1937.
DENTAL CLINIC: This service was continued as in past years. A detailed report of its activities will appear on a sep- arate page.
SPY POND AND THE RESERVOIR: As in previous years, the State Department of Public Health, at our request, examined the water of Spy Pond and the Reservoir at Arling-
419
BOARD OF HEALTH
ton Heights. The result of this examination showed both bod- ies of water to be safe for bathing purposes. Under the super- vision of the Board of Health, these waters were treated once during the year with Copper Sulphate, to control the growth of Green Algae.
RUBBISH AND ASH DISPOSAL: The present method of disposal of rubbish and ashes in the Town has been a source for many complaints. The Board of Health is of the opinion that some means of incinerating these wastes must be fur- nished in the immediate future because all suitable and acces- sible locations for an open dump where combustible material may be burned have been exhausted. The rapid growth of the Town has contributed to this situation so that now some other method of disposal must be provided.
Licenses and permits, required by statute law and the reg- ulations of this Board, have been issued and approved, upon receipt of applications.
The Board of Health wishes to thank publicly the nursing staffs of the Ring's Sanatorium, the Public School and the Arlington Visiting Nursing Association for the assistance that they rendered to the Arlington Board of Health throughout the past year.
The Financial, Mortality and Morbidity reports, together with those of appointees, are appended.
