40 Report of the Board of Health To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: The Board of Health hereby submits their annual report for the year, nineteen -hundred sixty-five. The co-operation of the townspeople, in recognizing the duties of the Board, has added greatly to the successful ac- complishments made during this year. On the occasion of Clean-up Week, a good many of the unsightly uninhabitable dwellings were demolished, such as burned, decayed and abandoned homesites. Rubbish pick-up was accepted during this week by a majority of the citizens. Clean-up week will be held in May, 1966. Ferdinand Mills and Norman Foster have accomplished, what we think is a beginning of an answer to our Disposal area problems, by policing this area seven days a week. With the acceptance by the citizens of our regulations, and, even- tually, with the custodians sincere concern, our disposal area will finally show a greater improvement. A more effective disposal sticker control will become effective in 1966. All com- mercial disposal trucks will be required to have disposal per- mits in each truck. Due to the excessive drought this year, intensive bulldozing became necessary for fire prevention in this area. Curtis Hendricks, our newly appointed health agent is busy trying to keep up with the mushrooming developments in town. We, as well as Mr. Hendricks, have learned more than once, that the Sanitary Code is comprised of far more than cesspools and septic tanks. This year we have been approached with more problems concerning the co-operation of persons holding Common Victuallers licenses, who do not seem to realize the importance of CLEANLINESS! ! !
