Report of the Health Onicer. F
To the Honorable the Mayor and the
City Council of the City of Anaconda.
Mont.-Gentlemen: .9
In accordance with section z. ordi-
nance No. SO. as health officer OF the
city of Anaconda. have the honor to
present my annual report.
In marked contrast to the previous
year, our city has been comparatively
free from contagious diseases. The
general health of the community has
ax-tt rlx otCox ~ u ov
public nuisances and inattention to
sanitary measures on the part OF our
| citizens have become less and less. At
no time in the history of this city has
| it's sanitary condition been In better
shape. 1t is true that here and there
accommodations exist which are more Of
| fensive to the eye than a menace 10
| public health, but these are the results
| of conditions which / shall hereafter
present to you. 1t is manifestly i'm
| possible to have an ideal condition.
but we can approach 1t nearer than any
| city / know of.
| 1t is a matter of much congratula-
ton to note the increasing desire on
the part of our citizens of keeping a
| watchful eye on all sources of danger
to public health and promptly report
| ing to this Office such suggestions as
are necessary in order that disease
and disease sources may be reduced to
| a minimum.
Scarlet fever, measles and diphtheria
have been reported to me during the
past year. Seven cases of typhoid,
all coming from outside the city, have
been noted. Such measures as were
| necessary have been taken to prevent
| further infection.
The city has been inspected by the
sanitary Inspector, the street commits
| sioner and myself this spring, and is
| being cleaned as rapidly as possible.
The cemetery at the former pest
house has been visited by me this
| spring, and / find Ii in excellent con-
dition. Some Decoration day exercises
| there would be a fitting tribute to the
| unfortunate dead.
The city dump is again almost Inn
passable. This ground is a source OF
| constant trouble and expense to our
| city and requires attention; not merely
a visit by a committee, but considera-
ton by them of an entire revision In
the management of our refuse. The
| health office should act with the COM
| mittee. Unless this be done soon the
| city will have no dumping ground and
will be liable to damage for injury done
other persons properties.
Our public schools are in excellent
| condition. Sanitary measures are
| strictly enforced, vaccination OF school
| children is carefully noted, and all sus-
picious cases of sickness promptly re-
ported. Much praise is due the school
| authorities for their cooperation, fol
| the school room is very often the
| breeding place of disease.
This department points with some de.
| gree of pardonable pride to the fact
that smallpox, which existed In every
| section of our city, has been effectually
| stamped out. This fortunate but un-
| expected result is a veritable triumph
|
