The activities of the Health Department increase each year. The regulation of the State department in reference to milk licenses for pasteurization and selling, the following up of dog bite cases, and the investigation of Tuberculosis patients in reference to settlement and contacts, increase our expenses. Each case of Tuberculosis that comes to our attention seeking care, means $900 a year from our appropriation. The law requires a local Board of Health to pay for the care of any contagious case sent to an Isolation Hospital if said patient is a resident of our Town and a dependant. Upon two occasions during the past year complaints have come to this depart- ment that dead animals were becoming a menace to health. In both instances the animals were on private property owned by the com- plainants but not their animals. The health regulations require the owner of said property to remove such a menace at their own expense. The department is responsible only when such a carcass is on a public highway. We have not asked for an appropriation to cover these possible necessities, but are hoping that the amount asked will cover our actual needs.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M. D.
