Contagious Diseases.

The number of contagious diseases has been very low for a city of 55,. 900 people. The city has been par. ticularly fortunate in having but fourteen cases of typhoid fever dur. ing the year. two of which were inn ported. The number of cases of tu- berculosis reported were 6S; scarlet fever 20; diphtheria 90: typhoid fever IA. There were many cases of per- tussis found unreported. Through publicity, the department finally had some success in getting parents to report any case of whooping cough existing in the family to the teach CTS, and the teachers to the board of health.
 During the year the department assumed the work of the Tuberculosis Relief society. We have but one nurse to keep in touch with the many suf- ferers from this Tread disease. Our records show 12S reorted cases during the year. Probably twice as many cases exist in the city. We assist those who are willing but financially unable to go to a sanatorium by pay ing part or whole of their expenses We have in sanatoria, at our expense, an average of ten cases each month.
 Three Nurses Needed.
 eff we hope to make the money ex- pended in this branch of our depart ment pay, by reason of conservation of health, then we should put at least three nurses in the field.
 "We have employed a welfare nurse who visits suspected and known cases of contagicn, and instructs the family in keeping the sick room in as hy- gienic manner as possible. part of her duty, of no small importance, is to take nasal and throat cultures of all children in the house in which a case of diphtheria exists. By this method many cases of mild diphtheria are found and kept under strict supervi- sion.
 Tine system established a year ago of obtaining two negative cultures be- fore releasing a case of diphtheria from quarantine has undoubtedly had much to do with keeping down the spread of this disease.
 Disinfection of Houses.
 We have given considerably more time than heretofore, to the disinfec- ton of houses which have been oc- cupied by tubercular subjects. In these instances, we order throuogh renova- tion, including repainting, or white washing of the rooms occupied. Fol- lowing cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever we still use formaldehyde (probably because of the need of mo- ral courage to stop iD but depend chiefly on house cleaning, fresh air and sunshine.
 "A special effort is being made to clean up Cor out) unsanitary dairies and sources of milk supply. Also, we are systematizing the inspection of ] food stores. !
 ''The inspection of new plumbing installed has been carried out in paying for the plumbing.
 "The garbage collection is still far | from satisfactory. It is to be hoped that the city will take over this work, l considering it a liability to be met in l

WHERE NEW BRITAIN NEEDSIMPR0VEMENT
Weaknesses Pointed Out by Supt.
 ReekS in Report to State

Some of New Britain's needs from health standpoint are outlined in the annual report to the state board of health of Superintendent T. E. Reeks of the local health department.
 Among the requirements, according to Dr. Reeks, are more tuberculosis nurses. At least three should be employed, Dr. Reeks says.
 pr. Reeks points out that the gar bage collection system is unsatisfac- tory and expresses the hope that the city will soon see fit to take over this important department. The health superintendent also recommends the establishment of a slaughter house to be controlled by the city.
 The report in full follows:
 "I respectfully submit the follow ing report for the city of New Britain for the year ending October 31, 1915.
 ''The health department has had year of marked activity owing to fol- lowing the policy outlined in the annual report last submitted to you from this department.
 We have now completed compiling record of the sanitary condition or nearly every tenement house in the city. These records are permanent and prove of great value in our re- investigations.
 Our city ordinances have recently been amended by making the sanitary requirements of two family dwellings practically the same as those dehneo in the state tenement house law. we are, therefore, now making a sys- tematic inspection and record of the sanitary condition of all two-family houses.
 Ut is hardly possible to detail in a brief report the amount of time and energy expended in Investigating housing conditions and in rectifying the many unsanitary conditions found. Yet, with but one man devoting his time to this line of work, the result of the first years work is gratifying. The following is a summary of some of the more important orders issued by the board of health, and complied with:
 New toilets installed. ............ 1SS Toilets repaired ............... 24O Tenements ordered vacated. ..... 3 Sewer connections ........... 30 Water connections ........ 0 Defective plumbing repaired. 1S0 Cesspools and vaults abolished. g Light and ventilation installed. 295 Yards ordered cleaned. ......... 945 Piggeries abolished ............ 8 l Rooms replastered, repapered or repainted 96 Dirty walls and ceilings cleaned.
