Though not seeking press publicity one cannot allow to pass unchallenged your article in the last issue concern- ing the inactivity of the Local Board of Health. Lest any of yours readers might be led to believe the statements attributed in that article to the retir- ing member of the Board of Health, mention might be made of some of the matters which engaged the attention of the members of the Board of Health during 1927. (1) Attending five meetings of the Board in the secretary’s office Where the minutes may be seen by any one sufiiciently interested to inquire. ‘ Dear Sir:â€" Medical Officer of Health Outlines Activities of Board of Health During Year l927â€"Only In One Instance Did The Board Fail To Function, He Says. The Editor of The Liberal (2) Recommending to Council the appointment of a vetinary for regular inspection at frequent inter- vals of herd and premises of the milk producers supplying milk for use in the village. (3) Dealing with complaints from ratepayers on such a variety of subjects as:â€"â€"Septic tank over- flowing, water lying in street ditch, dead animal on vacant lot, storage, of manure, flies coming from neigh- bors, water in cellars, children with communicable diseases not reported and not quarantined, sale of milk contrary to by_law, neighbors chick- ens in garden, stamping of horses in stable, odors from the laundry _Wash water in the neighbors back yard, etc . Letters From The People. (4) Administering regulations as to quarantine. (5)' Sending samples to Provinci- al Laboratories from private wells. (6) Sending samples frequently to Provincial Laboratories, of Villâ€" age water for analysis. (7) Packing in ice and deliver- ing to Provincial Laboratories, samples of milk for test and exami- nation. (8) Inspecting the water area as defined by the Provincial Depart. ment of Health and warning resi- dents in that area against pollution of the water. (9) Communicating- and consult- ing with the Provincial Depart- ments as to the improvement of the village water supply. (10) Accompaning the District officer of Health in investigating complaints . PAGE FOUR (18) Vaccination of Pupils in Public and High Schools. For the information of The Liberal it might be pointed out that the duties of the Board of Health are clearly di- fined in the Public Health Act and any directions from a local sour- ce as to what that body should or should not do is rather presumptuous and quite unnecessary. Moreover the value of the local paper as a medium for the dissemination of news would be enhanced if a little more discretion were exercised in the choice of news and if some effort were expended in endeavoring to substantiate such y~statements as were used as the sub- ject for such legthy comment on the vinactivity of the Board of Health. 1«on the memory of the retiring memb- er. This Was no doubt the meeting called by that member of which the chief item of business introduced by him for the consideration of the Board Was a rumor of the presence of cert- ‘ain apterous insects in a house in the village. Since this was only a rumor and not a definite complaint the board did not feel justified in resolving it- Self into a search party armed with {flash lights to make a night raid on the premises in question in search oi evidence of a confirmatory nature consequently no action was taken by the board on this important item. {This no doubt was one instance in lwhich the Board failed to function. In its effort for the safe guarding of the health of the community the Board of Health is desirous of having the Co-operation of all residents both tfie five meetings held by the} Board of Health during 1927 only one seems to have made any impression (11) Licensing and Sanitary supervision of baby boarfling houses (12) Inspecting dairy and past- eurizing plants. (13) v fiecommending to council the installation of an up-to-date chlorinating' machine in the water works plant. (14)_ Amending milk by-law to allow sale of certified milk. (15) Sanitary inspection of the schools. (16) Co-operating with the Home and School Club in securing a speaker on Medical inspection in schools. (17) Preparing and presenting annual report. as individuals and as organizatinons.
