29 <br />Report of the Board of Health <br />To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br />and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee <br />The Board of Health hereby submits their report for the <br />year nineteen-hundred-sixty-two(1962). This year represents <br />our third year of operation. Since the establishment of this <br />board, the members have endeavored to officiate to their <br />fullest capacity. The Board met weekly, and was available <br />several nights other than the set hours of operation; often <br />attending other departmental meetings, hearings and dis- <br />cussions. <br />Inspections were made throughout the Town for build- <br />ings, cesspools, restaurants, motels, camps and other es- <br />tablishments. Permits were granted with the accordance of <br />the Sanitary Code .and the General Laws. All funds received <br />were duly noted, submitted to the Treasurer and the receipts <br />were placed on file. <br />Due to the increase of building, calls received, the mem- <br />bers were required to do extensive travel within and out of <br />town. Also, due to the increase developments in town much <br />more may be .accomplished if the people desiring permits, <br />information or requirements would meet with the Board <br />during regular hours. <br />Again, the dump area off Ashers Path is the only es- <br />tablished dumping area within the town, where a -custodian <br />was on duty (on a working basis) for the Summer months <br />and weekends during the Winter months. The dump was <br />cleaned, cleared, and bulldozed at frequent intervals. <br />The nurse served the town for the year by conducting <br />clinics, examinations, house calls, and assistance to dental <br />care. Complete details are in the Nurse's report. <br />
