13 <br /> Report of the Board of Health <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> and Citizens of Mashpee: <br /> During the year 1971, the Board of Health made available <br /> to the Town the services of nursing facilities, clinics, sani- <br /> tation, immunization and professional care. <br /> Due to the vast growth in development in the Town, the <br /> cesspool construction work permits increased from 110 to 173 <br /> permits and the sewage installer permits issued, doubled. <br /> The dental clinic was conducted at Dr. Robert A. Riley's <br /> office in Osterville, Mass. We urge the parents to continue <br /> participating in this program. <br /> Dr. Hutchins F. Inge of Osterville, Mass. conducted the <br /> immunization clinic at the school which proved to be success- <br /> ful. <br /> Our major problem the past year has been our disposal <br /> area. Due to the "Regulations for the Control of Air Pollution <br /> in the Southeastern Mass. Air Pollution Control District", we <br /> were required to stop burning refuse at the disposal area, <br /> along with a vast number of rules and regulations to control <br /> the disposal area. We had to also hire a contractor to cover <br /> most of the refuse daily which was brought into the area. <br /> More fencing had to be installed and the gate opening made <br /> larger. The full time attendant and relief men have done a <br /> tremendous job enforcing the by-laws and regulations gov- <br /> erning the disposal area. <br /> We wish to thank the visting Nurse Association. Barn- <br /> stable County Board of Health, the various Officials and De- <br /> partments of the Town for their co-operation and assistance <br /> in the past year. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> E. EDWARD LASHLEY, Chairman <br /> HARRIET C. DALY, Clerk <br />
