THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1929 GARAGE DWELLINGS STILL A NUISANCE SAIS. A. HUBBELL POINTS OUT UNSANL TARY CONDITIONS IN REPORT Situation Difficult To Deal With Owing to Poverty of Occupants "Garage dwellings" erected as temn- porary homes, but which have been occupied for four or five years with- out any move being made to erect a permanent house on the property, are still a nuisance and a, menace 10 health in the community, declared Sanitary Inspector D. A. Hubbell in his_report for February, These shacks were small, inade- guate buildings about the size of a private garage. Some families were living in them because of necessitous cifcumstances, while others simply lived in them without apparently any ambition to have any better home, Mr. Hubbell declared. Because some of the families were fi ially un- able to provide better homes for themselves, owing. to continued un- employment or other reasons, it made it hard to dea! with the situation and evict other families from them. Mean- while they continue to remain a nuis- ance 0 ail the neighborhood on ac- count of the unsanitary conditions surrounding them, the report contin- ned. The report was: Quaraatined for contagion, 210; re- leased quarantine, 176; fumigations 8; plumbing permits issued. 4; plumbing inspections. 20; Inspection of cafes, 46; grocery stores, 16; laundries, 32; candy stores, 8; city dump, 3; back- yards, 38; fish stores and fish and chips, 12; shacks and surroundings, B; nuisances reported and action ta- ken on, 14; complaints re garbage, 16; water samples collected for an- alysis, 31; milk samples collected, 8; cream samples taken, 6 ge Complaints During the past month, more es- ecially since the thaw has occurred, 1 have received several complaints about garbage which has been spilled during the winter and covered up ~ with snow, and it is now putting in + an appearance on the surface, "The advertisement for tenders for garbage collection in the City of Osh- awa, has appeared in the last few is- sues of the Oshawa Daily Times. I would desire to lay before the Local Board of Health, the necessity . of a 3 times per week garbage collec- tion in the business sections of the tity, the year around, in order that our back yards, etc, in the business section may look better, may be bet- ter for the health of the public, and also save a great deal of unnecessary telephonic communications. This I think is a matter which is of the tion of our local Board of Health, to take seri- ously and to request that the city council give it .their careful consid- eration as well, The new contract for garbage col- lection will come before council ear- ly in the present month, I am given to understand, and that is the chief reason which I think it should be introduced at once. Use of The continuance of the use of shacks built some 3 to 5 years ago to be used as a garage, but with a request to use them as a temporary place of residence until the actual dwelling has been constructed, still remains the same nuisance, and still causes dissatisfaction in the district in which it is situated. There are a number of such nuis- ances, but upon investigation, I find that the bread ner is out of em- ployment, or at least he has no regu- lar wage coming whereby he can af- ford to get into a better class house. He has his wife and perhaps a fam- ily of from one to three children, The owner of the shack realizes the | PO position of the individual and permits him to occupy the shack at little or no rental, until he can get steady work when he will be expected to vacate and get better housing ac- comodation. . This does not apply to all who are living in these so called shacks how- ever, . Some I am sorry to say are living in these places and do not, or cannot sce that they are a nuisance, and perhaps a menace to the health of hose living in the immediate vicin- ity. . To avert the use of these shacks in the case of the former might mean that those families would be thrown upon the relief of our municipality. But to permit the former to still occupy such premises, gives the latter a chance to defy the city officials, by simply relating that they are no more of a nuisance than the other fellow, and can't see why they should be re- quested to vacate or build a dwelling, until the other fellow is requested to do the same. This is a question well worthy of the consideration of our local Board of Health, and our city council. We have in our city one or two places where gasoline is being sold and used, and where families are liv- ing in the upstairs. This to my mind is not as it should be, and in talking it over with the Fire Chief, he is of the same opinion, and thinks that it belongs partly to the fire department, and is a Board of Health measure as well. However I am laying it before the board for their consideration, and advice of ac- tion, if any can be taken. Generally speaking the sanitation of the city is quite as good as can be expected at this particular season of the year, and before our regular monthly meeting for the month of March, an improvement will be seen.

Harris, senior public health nurse. Most of these cases were in the northern section of the city. In all, 197 cases of unicable di were reported. Seven cases of scarlet fever were found, five of these being adults and only one a school child, Spread of this disease in the schools is consid- ered improbable as most of the school children have been immunized against it. No cases of diphtheria were re- rted. The child welfare clinic was well attended during the month, the total Attendance being 269, The report fol- ows : Communicable diseases reported for February were as follows: measles, 155; chickenpox, 15; whooping cough, 11; mumps, 8; scarlet fever, 7; ery- sipelas, 1; total, 197 Considerable spread of measles has passed over the north section of the city. Every endeavor is being made to check measles spreading over the southern section also. It is of interest to note the few cases of scarlet fever present, and out of the seven listed five are adults, one school and one preschool age. The city is apparently free from diphtheria, School Report School visits, 110; pupils inspected, 3,640; examined by doctor, 102; com- plete physicals, 102; defects found, 297; special physicals, 4; defects sus- picious, 4; referred to doctor, 81; re- ferred to dentist, 47; treatments, 106; dental terminations, 85; defects cor- rected (other than teeth), 76; par- ents present, 56; children without de- fects, 19 , Defects found were: defective vis- ion, 10; eye disease, 6; ear disease, 2; defective nasal breathing, 18; ab- normal tonsils, 78; defective teeth, 107; anaemic, 4; enlarged tonsils, 35; malnutrition, 10; mentality referred, 5; cardiac, 2; skin disease, 11; ortho- pedic defects, 2; thyroid, 3 Active immunizations against scar- let fever and diphtheria have been carried on during the month and 1696 doses have been given, Public Health Report Adult, 19; parental, 4); post na- tal, 54; infant welfare, 44; preschool, 13; re absentees, 364; re defects (school age), 18; acute communicable diseases, 232; acute communicable skin diseases, 43; tuberculosis, 13; miscellancous, 8; not found, homes visited, 628; individuals visited, 751; social welfare, 5; child welfare, Bedside care: infant, 32; child, 23; | adult, 5.

During the past month one sam- ple of cereal cream sent to the Pro- vincial Laboratory for a bacterial count and butter fat test was eleven days old and still sweet. /This, in it- self, is significent of proper pasteur- ization and handling of The mill Milk Kept W. ) Another bottle of or eft at the Department of Health office by a householder was suspected of having something wrong with it, owing to its appearance. Milk, when partly frozen and agitated in the bottle, sometimes appears as if "ropy milk." This milk was tested by three differ- ent parties for flavor, etc, then dat- ed and sealed and put in the cooler to test for keeping qualities. At the end of one week it was taken out, tasted, and still sweet, and on the cighth day it was just beginning to sour, This also is fair evidence of psoper pasteurization and handling. Declarations have also been secured from both dairies that no preserva- tives are used in their milk or milk products. : Above the Standard Butter fat returns from the pro- vincial laboratory show the milk to be well above standard requirements, and, in regards to some samples of cream, very much above standard re- quirements. : During the month some time was spent with the Division of Food Con- trol of the Toronto Health Depart- ment and dairies, stores, restaurants and soft drink manufacturing estab- lishments were visited with Toronto inspectors. This was all very instruc- tive and helpful in the way of com- parison with our own methods of food inspection, etc. 3 The meeting of the Ontario Veter- inary Association was also attended. Some of the foremost authorities on milk presented papers on the subject, and the discussion that followed was a real live 3, improvement " meut ¢ Bests | bre that & of the previens mon the producer j depends the duty of providing clean milk, No food material requires ¥| greater care and cleanliness on the HARRIS MUSIC SHOP 17 Simcoe St. S. Phone 1480 part of those handling it. Most pro- ducers are particularly careful on this tf. Ping the month two visits were made in regards to tainted milk. Milk is very quickly affected by odors of any sort. Feed also occasionally plays a part here. One producer who was troubled along these kines is now turning out a quality of milk if not superior, to some of his fellow producers. Owing to February being a short month, and also that the lenten sea- son is on, the usual number of ani- mals slaughtered is not as high that of the previous month, al some very choice beef has been turn- ed out at the local slaughter houses. A close check has been kept on the question of meat, yet the percentage of diseased animals for the month has been low. : : Cattle tuberculin tested numbered 141; cattle under test, 28; reactors, 14; visits to dairy producers, 41; visits to dairies, 15; sediment tests, 80; samples of milk secured, 14; visits to slaughter houses, 41; visits to stores, 7; visits to butcher hops, 4; visits to restaurants, 2; visits to bakeries, 2; visits to fish shops, 1; visits to mar- ket, 3; complaints investigated, 4; visits to soft drink manufacturers, 5; visits to pumping station, 1; miles travelled, including two trips to To- ronto, 703. OPEN VERDIGT IS RETURNED (Continued from Page 3) a severel headache. Shortly after this she collapsed, stiffening a little at the time. It appeared that she was dead, although her heart beat for several minutes following the collapse. Dr. Hoig, Medical Superintendent at the hospital pronounced her dead. Dr. D, Archer, who was present in the operating room said he had treat ed the patient medically two or three weeks previous to her removal to the hospital. "Was this goitre of pronounced type?" 'asked Crown Attorney Mec- Gibbon. "Ne "I understand there are different classes of goitre." " "What kind was this?" : "Toxic goitre, or inward goitre." se For Operation Dr. Archer considered it a case for an operation--that it was no longer a 'medical case. . "How many injections were given?" "Three." . The doctor was under the impres- sion the complaints of the patient were due to general feeling brought about by the needle prick and gen- eral excitement, As the fourth injection was about to be given, even as the needle touch- ed the skin, Dr. Archer stated he nudged Dr, Stewart and said; . "Look at the patient." The patient slightly stiffened and to all appear: ances "was gone." , Died of Fright ; "What do you think the patient died from?" "Fright." "Why " 3 "Seeing all the liveried medical 25; physicians and nurses." "Would you class this as a major operation 2" "Yes." The doctor stated he met the pa- tient at the door and that she cried expressing her joy at seeing Dr. Ar- cher, who had been the family phy- sician for 20 years." "Do you know if any of the solu- tion got into the blood stream?" "1 don't know?" "Dr, Stewart asked Dr, Grant Ber- .> a time previous to the adminis- tration of the anaesthetic if he, the latter, would care to witness the vitation, Doctors Disagree Dr. Archer and Dr. Berry disagreed upon the number of injections, the former believing that three injections were made and a fourth started and the latter of the opinion that" four had been made and a fifth started, A description of the artificial respira- tion was made, and corroboration of Dr. Archer's expert testimony given. Dr. Berry also stated that he did not know if any of the injection fluid had gotten into the blood stream. In his previous statement, Dr. Ar- cher had pointed out that if any in- jection fluid did creep into the blood stream, probably serious results might occur. 8 Nothing Out Of Ordinary Dr. Hazlewood, who was in the capacity of assistant to Dr, Stewart, stated that nothing out of the ordin- ary had taken place. He corroborat- ed Dr. Berry's evidence, adding that he thought the patient died from ly, he said, pon Symptoms of the llapse of the patient, Dr Hazlewood re-iterated that he had never seen a case such as this before. If the fluid had gotten in- to the blood stream, it would cause nauseau, headache, etc, the doctor inted out. . : Po don't think the fluid did get in- to the blood stream, because bl would have been taken back into the syringe, if that had been so," said itness. Considerable evidence was produced showing that in some cases of an- aesthetics of this type were given in the wards on account of the extreme fear of patients, but that it was gen- erally the practice to give anaesthe- tics at the Oshawa General Hospital in the operating room. ost Mi McMull ' h form: . R. E.

Dr. Stewart's ' Evidence Dr. A, E.

"About two » It was the at of the physi- -cians conducting the case to admin. ister a general anaesthetic after the local anaesthetic, ental Shock . Mental shock, in the witness' es- timation, was the cause of the death of Mrs. Thompson, all ordinary pre- cautions having been taken to pre- vent death. Dr. Stewart stated that about half an ounce of injection fluid had been used. Dr. Stewart said that he had per- formed 14 operations of this type, all of a successful type. Following the operation, a consul- tation was held, Drs. Stewart, Berry and Archer participating. 's Testimony Dr. Samuel Johnston from the To- ronto General Hospital, in charge of the anaesthetical department and also on the medical advisory board sta- ted that he had performed be- tween 85000 and 95000 anaes- thetical administrations. He gave ex- pert evid on the inistration of a local anaesthetic. oi "After listening to the evidence, I can't see how a person could die in six minutes from the fluid, or the in- gredients in it," stated the witness. "Then you agree with the doctors that shock would be the cause of death?" asked Mr. James Cowan, of Toronto, counsel for Dr. Stewart. "I can't sce any other cause of death," was the reply.
