I The annual report of the Medical i. Officer of. Health was read as follows: To the Mayor, Reeve and Members of Clinton Town Council: , Gentlemen: I beg to submit the Re- port of the Medical Officer of Health for the past year. During the first months of this year we had a mild epidemic of Measles and German Measles. Altogether there were 206 cases reported, and probably 100 more not reported. The eegulatins have been changed in this respect. All must iiow be quarantin- ed. There were two cases of Whoop- ing Cough. The Board has had many com- plaints to deal with during the year in reference to Drains, Water, Septic Tanks, nuisances and smoke. They have all been agreeably adjusted The water has been tested on 6 oc- casions, so many times owing to complaints. All reports give tests Grade A, for drinking, but not so good for washing. The milk has been tested periodically and all reports showed cream and milk better than standard. The. Pasteurizing plant has had additional machinery installed, this year. We must repeat the warning to those contemplating installation of Septic Tanks, that a permit must be secured by the owner before begin- ning construction and not after coin- I pletion, as there are many condi- tions such as soil, fall, location, • drains and trees which affects its function. We have had excellent co-operation of Day and Night Sanitary Officers. The Number of Resident Births in 1936, 26, Non-resident 39. Deaths Resident 85, Non-resident 20. Popu- lation 1868. The Board of Health endeavours to keep the streets, lanes and prem ises clean and tidy, as the Tourist. Trade has becomecl . rite an asset to towns and cities. We would suggest more lights on main streets, sign on' rest room, etc. Other-- towns are do- ing this, whynot we? • Respectfully submitted, - Albert E. Fremlin, J. W. Shaw, Sanitary Inspector.- .'
