38 <br />Report of the Board of Health <br />To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br />Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts <br />Gentlemen and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br />The Board of Health offered the town the services of <br />professional care, nursing facilities, sanitation, clinics, im- <br />munizations, extended surveys and investigations. <br />This year the Town was offered the opportunity to re- <br />ceive nursing services under professional supervision. We are <br />now a member of the District Nursing Services of Barnstable, <br />Dennis and Yarmouth. <br />The dental program cared and examined the school <br />children. Under present arrangements, the children are <br />transported to the dentist's office and receive individual at- <br />tention. <br />Well-child clinics, immunizations and polio clinics were <br />offered and carried out by our visiting doctors and nurses. <br />The town, this year, has experienced a rapid growth in <br />developments. Additional stress was applied by the Board to <br />insure proper sanitation and other installations. The in- <br />creased demand for licenses, permits, and applications, which <br />require strict investigations, has doubled the work -load of <br />the Board. <br />The town disposal area was maintained and controlled <br />under the surveillance of our custodians. The area received <br />care, bulldozing and controlled burning, thereby offering the <br />jmost possible area for dumping. A survey has required the <br />Board to forecast the acquisition of extended area facilities <br />j for handling of future debris. <br />The annual clean-up week was carried out and received <br />i <br />co-operation and participation from the inhabitants. <br />
