PORTER. ! Secretary. I To the President and Members, of the j Board of Health of the City of Cape i May: Gentlemen: — I herewith submit my report to this Board for the work done the year ednlng SepL 4th, 1916. During the past year the work of this Board has been along the same as in previous year, with this exception. the Board has seen fit through the generous contributions of the public at large In the mosquito extermination work locally. This has been a large factor .In lessening the number present during the past summer and we take pleasure at this time In thanking those who made It possible for this work to be done. The number of contagious diseases : reported to this board during the past year have been. Measelp 10 Whooping oough 2 Typhoid Fever 3 Tuberculosis Pulmonary 2 Acute Anterior PolIonWelltls 1 Chicken Pox 3 In reference to Typhoid Fever I might say that so far asinown they have been Imported cases, ths^number | of cases of Measels and Whooping j Cough have been comparatively few in > number and we have had no Diphtheria ■ nor Scarlet fever. « Garbage "IYie-aollectlon of the garbage and re- j fuse during the past summer has not i been carried o nln the manner In which this board would have liked to have] had it sone. This was due to the fact that there were so few collectors, this coupled with the fact that the territory covered was so large that It was absolutely Impossible for some of them to be out of the city limits In the time proscribed . by erdlnance. ' They were not prosecuted because of 6 the above-mentioned fact, not that the board did not know they were not living up to the ordinance covering name. The time la ripe when this board should petition our honorable commlaLslonere to erect an Incinerating plant _ to t alee care of the refuse of thla city. The number reported have been magjr and « varied, they were Inspected' aa promptly aa circumstances would permit. The number reported have been many g Ud varied, they were lnspeoted aa
