HEALTH REPORT FOR YEAR

A summary of the 'salient . features
of the work of the city health depart
ment for the year, 1912 -was contained
" in a report" submitted to City Council
yesterday morning by Dr. Chas.'T.
Nesbitt,ahe "superintendent. 'His re
port was very 'igraUfyibi torttiembers

the achievements during the year. i
V:: Much?.of the Statistical im&ttergiven
' in the ,repbrt wjis ; published , in The
Star some days ago. The death rate
is shown to havebeen 21.40 for 1912
as compared with 29.43 in 1911, a de
crease of Jf-97, .which, is, due in a meas
ure" to .'the "successful Efforts of the
health department, , .,,
The report in full follows:
"To the Council of the Ciy of Wilmington.-
- , ;
"Gentlemen: In addition to the regu
lar monthly report for December,. 1912;
-I "desire o submit : thedata ;:e.hiDOdIed
i in dar'cojnpilationof tatistiis tot jthe
calendar year of ' 1912. . !
"In presenting this data . I desire to
disclaim any disposition .on. the. part of
"the health department to appropriate
to its credit an undue proportion of
the reduction fau death -rates and
amount of illness shown In the records
of 1912 over 1911. It must be remem
bered that 1911 showed the highes
death and morbidity rate in this city
ffpr a number of years past. It is a
nances are' put into full -effect and are
rigidly enforced. Well in advance of
any such probable epidemics la-e health
department-desires to clearly and positively-
define the limits of its respon
sibility, (
;.."One of the .most important fea-.
tures of the work of the health de
partment, is the care of the : indigent
sick of the city. During 1912, 467 eases
were, sent fromlthe city to the wards
in" the James Walker Memorial Hos
pital maintained from the public
funds.- Two hundred and twenty-nine
of these cases, were sent from the. First
ward, '30, from the Second ward. 17
from the. Third ward, 38 from the
Fourth ward and 153 from, the Fifth
ward. - But 19 of the entire number
died,' which "was 4.07 per cent of the
entire 1 number. - .Of these cases sent
to the James : Walker Memorial HosT
pital -17 were cases -of typhoid fjSer,
Of these but two died. The percent
age represented here, - namely. .
compares most favorably with the ty
phoid records of the 'other municipal
hospitals in the United States. In
fact, it Is a little below the' average. ;
"I desire to state to your body and
to the public at large, our sincere ap
preciation of the services of Dr. Jo
seph W. Hooper, the present superin
tendent of the James Waiter Memorial
Hospital. His management of the hos
pital has been marked by a ' great
diminution in the number of com
plaints received at this office with ref
erence . to , the care and ' maintenance
of the indigent sick. He has co-operated
with the health department in-every
possible way and so far as 'this muni
cipal government is concerned he has
discharged his : duties and . maintained
his most difficult and anomalous posi
tion in a highly praisewjorthy manner.

reference to his care of the indigent

"The organization of the scavenger
8ervk for daylight work in cleaning
the sanitary can closets was begun
on.; December 1 J.th, and has continued
since that time - with a , minimum of
offense and a- maximum of economy.
The plan upon : which this . work is
performed is identical to that plan pro
pesed to the Council in June of lsui,
by the .superintendent- of. health. Our
experience with "this plan has demon
strated that Tit cuts in -two the s ex
pense of the scavenger service. Just
half the number of men and teams
are "required "to do the worjc under this
plan cs is required to do it during the
night. . . If the sanitary closets had
been installed ; throughout the entire
city .by September 1st, 1911; and this
pIanof scavenger service been install
ed at that time as anticipated by the
sanitary closet ordinance passed on
June 2Cth?i 1911, the enormous waste
of the publi; funds. . which was the
result of the non-enforcement of this
law,: would have been saved, and the
citizens of the Fifth ward and. "of the
other .wards of the city would have
been saved the great amount of ill
ness and death which was preventable
and unnecessary, which they "have suf
fered since that time. . If the continu
ance of. this waste, of public funds and
.human life and . efficiency . is to be
stopped, definite steps mus , be taken
at once by your honorable body to
ward carrying into effect these ordi
nances and. plans, the" value of which
have been ' so positively: demonstrated

attention briefly. to the financial aspect
of the changed1 health conditions in
Wilmington. , Using the basis for the
capitalization human life and . health
devised by Prof n Irving Fisher, we find
that the citizens of Wilmington sus
tained a loss of ?C2.000 . through ty
phoid fever alone in illness In the" year
of 1911. In'1912 the loss from this di
sease in, sickness was but $ia,G0O; This
shows a' net" saving to the citizens .of
$45,400 tfi one disease alone. The loss
sustained through- death from typhoid
fever alone in 1911 was $39,000- .: In
1912 this loss was $15,000. The net
gain in this single instance was $24
000. In the matter of total deaths
there were 157 fewer deaths in 1912
than in 1911. ,i Reduced to a' financial
eouivalent this amounts to $235,500.
The saving on typhoid illness ; and
deaths added to this sum gives, a to
tal saving on these three items of
$304,900. If but half of this saving
can be credited to the work of the
health department we feel that the
money- invested by the city In -carrying
forward oaf operations has brought a
sufficiently gratifying return.
