The method of inspection and disposal of carcasses is the sanmre as that carried out in larger pack- ing houses: All inspected carcas- ses stamped either '"'Aproved" or "Condemned", Sanitary measures requiring attention at the slaughter houses are checked up from time o time. X Dairy Producers The majority of the milk pro- ducers herds, premises etc, were in a clean, satisfactory condition. | Some were not up to the usual high standard, owing in most cases to en- tire families being stricken with influenza, yet, for all, even these premises were passably tidy and clean, Much time has been spent advo- cating tuberculin testing of the herds. The modern farmer realizes the value of having his herd tested. and usually submits once he under- etands the procedure taken, etc. Many of those who have had lightly infected herds have disposed of their reactors for slaughter and are requesting re-tests and tests for - | herd additions.

M, C.A. The case ilf question was that of a resident at 112 Celina street who was at this time keeping a rooming house. Every . precaution was taken how- ever, and all inmates of the home vaccinated. Other contacts who re- fused vaccination were kept in guarantine during the 'period pre- scribed by the Public Health Act. | On January 11, the Medical Of- ficer of Health received a letter from Dr, N. H, Sutton, D,P.I,, Pet~ erboro, requesting reports on flu conditions in our city, A copy of the oficial letter was mimeograph- ed and sent to all medical practi- tioners in Oshawa, in order that we might be made acquainted with the conditions by reports fromr the doctors, ; Flood Calls On January 18, during the very heavy rain, I received 25 telcphone calls relative to water being in cel- lars, and of the sewers backing up in these cellars. These conditions could not be avoided however and although I made several calls on request, it was an utter impossibil- ity for me, or in fact any one to re- lieve the situation. During the month a five page ex- tract on undulant fever was mime- ographed and a copy sent to each medical practitoner in the Ontario County Medical Assoecition. Also a paper on Vineent's or Trench Mouth was prepared and sent to all doc- tors and dentists. 22 notices, and letters 're complaints was sent out during the month, Eighteen in- vetigations were made into various nuisances reported to the depart- ment. School reports as required by the Provincial Government have been prepared and our findings at the time of regular inspection reported thereon, A very favorable report on all places of learning in the city is the result of our finding at time of inspection.
