I85Q -(-he ]_anj which is now the City of Long Beach, was owned, by two men, and. consisted of two ranchos, one of which was Los Alamatos (Little Poplars), comprising some 28,000 acres, and a short time later was advertised for sale for $152 in payment of delinquent taxes. The other ran- cho, Los Cerritos (Little Hills) about the same size, was owned by Don Juan Temple, a cattle man. In 1865 these two ranchos were purchased in part by the Jotham Bixby Company, and stocked with sheep. About 30,000 head of sheep were pas- tured, which produced 200,000 pounds of wool annually. W. E. Willmore, representing the American Colony or- ganization, purchased 4, '00 acres from the Bixby Company at $25 an acre, to be used as a colony site and 'named this acreage Willmore City. This acreage at present represents the down- town and resident district of the city. A clause was inserted in each deed forever prohibiting the sale of intoxicants, which has been a great factor in the growth of the city. This colony failed to prosper, and the founder soon lost all his property and died in poverty. The land was pur- chased by an organization known as the Long Beach Land and Water Company, in 1884. They pushed the project, built a hotel, put 2 in a horse-car line to the nearest railway, some two miles distant, and in 1887 a loom raised the price of property enor- mously. Ten years later, a railroad was completed, known as the Terminal Railroad, which at present is the terminus of the Salt Lake Railroad. A franchise was given at this time to the Railroad by the city along the ocean front which since has been regretted many times, and is at the present time a great deal of annoyance. The census in 1890 gave the population as 564, which in 1900 had increased to 2,262, or an increase of 400%. An electric car-line was established to Los Angeles in 1902, known as the Huntington Interurban, which is now owned by the Southern Pacific Railorad, and runs a thirty-minute between Long Beach and Los Anglel.es. . Considerable interest was taken in the harbor and in 1905 the Los Angeles Bock and Terminal Company began dredging. This has never been very successful, as the area becomes filled in by ilt brought down by the San Gabriel River during the winter months. A pier was built in 1905 at a cost of $100,000, being 1800 feet long. This has proved inadequate, and plans are now in progress for a new pier. Long Beach is located in the central part of Southern California, on the Pacific Ocean, and occupies 13.18 square miles. It is bounded on the West and North by the Palos Verdes 3 Hills, on the South by the Pacific Ocean, and on the East by a stretch of level farming country. One hundred miles to the South East lies San Diego, and to the North West about the same distance is Santa Barbara. Los Angeles , an ever-growing city, lies to the North about twenty miles. The greatest part of the city is very level, sloping slightly to the West. On the border of the city to the North East, are a few hills, from which the city gradually slopes to the sea, here interuppted by a bluff of earth with a drop of about twenty feet to the beach. Five miles of level beach ex- tends to the East and West. Long Beach is noted for its mild climate. The Palos Verdes Hills on the We st break the winds which blow from the ocean, and yet are cooling in the summer. The gulf stream tends to even the climate of the winter, and were it not for the win- ter rains, the difference could hardly be noticed between the summer and winter seasons. The temperature ranges from about 75° to 90° throughout the year, and the mildness evidenced by the numbers who bathe in the surf the year around. During a few of the months, November to May, there are numerous rains - al- ways followed by the welcome sunshine, for which the south is famed. Long Beach in contrast to a number of the nearby coast cities, has a foundation of real earth rather than sand. 4 The sand of the beach is separated from the rich loamy soil soil of the city by the bluff mentioned above. The farms on the North and East are somewhat handicapped by the alkali found in the soil, but which is rapidly being dispersed by the farmers. Long Beach a few years ago was known as one of the • fastest-growing cities in the United States. The growth can but be shown by the following figures: Year Population Increase Percentage Increase 1890 - - - 564 1900 - - - 2,262 1,698 350% 1917 23,000 21,000 900$ 1918 28,000 5,000 20% 1919 35,000 7,000 25$ 1920 55,000 20,000 60$ 1921 75,000 25,000 50$ 1922 85,000 10,000 15$ In early years, the health of the city was cared for "by an appointed health-officer. He seemed to have a very dif- ficult time to persuade the people to abide by sanitary rules. As late as 1900 a request was made to have the m- in street of 5 the city swept once a week. Since that time, though, the Health department has developed into a very modern and important de- partment, consisting of a health officer and his attendants, quarantine regulations, inspection of food and milk, and a well equipped laboratory for the detection of impurities and The laboratory is in charge of a full-time bacteriologist and assistant, equipped for bacterial examination of milk and water, excreta from typhoid patients, free examinations of tuberculosis, sputum, etc. The Health Officer is appointed by the city manager, with confirmation of the city council and serves at the pleasure of the city manager. The qualifications of the Health Officer are: that he shall be a graduate of a reputable medical college, li- censed to practise in the State of California, and hhall have prac- tised medicine for at least five years next preceeding the date of his appointment. The city is very well endowed with parks, situated in dif- ferent parts of the city. There are six in number, consisting of 25.31 acres. There are 60.29 miles of paved streets and more in the making. The schools system is very excellent, but at the pre- sent time somewhat overcrowded. There are fifteen public schools, and one high school, having a registration of around 2000 students. Among the groups of public buildings are fifty-six churches, eight 6 banks, five hundred hotels and apartment houses, two large hos- pitals and a public library with three branches. WATER SUPPLY Long Beach is very fortunate indeed in having as its water supply an artisian well system. Due to the upheaval of sev- eral hills on the North-east side of the city, a natural under- ground $ond was divulged, gathering the water from the hills far to the north and allowihg a gentle slope for the water to flow towards the city. The series of small hills shuts off the water from the ocean to the south. The city, a ntimber of years ago, purchased a large acreage of land behind these small hills and at present have nineteen wells ten to twelve of which are in continuous operation. The average depth of these wells is 1100 feet, and a number are flowing the year round. The water is pumped from these wells into reservoirs, situated on the hills near by, and there is a gravity force feed for the city established. Sources of pollution for this water supply are negligible, as the water is filtered through 1100 feet of various kinds of soil, and lastly through an old peat bed. The old peat bdd contains ci<t 7 which reacts on the carbonates in the water, reducing the bareness of the water, but gives to it in solution an amount of hydrogen sulphide gas, which gives the water its peculiar "sulphur" smell. A small amount of cellulose is absorbed in its passage through the peat.bed which makes the water slightly yellow in color. The chemical analysis of the water is as follows: Turbidity ----------0 Color ----------- -80 Odor- - - -v- ------- -HgS Taste ----------- -HgS Temperature -------- -87° Residue ---------- -180° - 210© Loss on ignition- - - - - - -60 After ignition- ------ -150 Colloidal matter: Siiea ----------- -22 Iron oxide- -------- -tr Aluminium ----------4 Dissolved Radicals: Calcium ---------- -11 Magnesium ----------2 Sodium ---------- -67 8 Positive Radicals: Carbonates- -------- 12 Bicarbonates- ------- 148 Sulphates --------- 5 Chlorides --------- 21 Nitrates- --------- 5 No nitrites are found in the water, showing it to be free from active putrifact ion. Nitrates are rather high, but are probably due to absorption from the peat beds and not due to distant source of pollution. The chlorides are rather high, but close proximity to the sea is the probable cause. The high amount of total solids shows the water to contain a rather large amount of chemicals composed mostly of carbonates. The loss on on ignition shows also a rather high content of organic matter, but this is no doubt due to the peat beds. This water is considered very soft, as is shown by the calcium content being eleven parts per pillion, which being con- verted into Clark's scale (.07 x 11) =.77 degrees. Pour degrees is considered soft, and .77 degrees is very soft indeed, which makes the water very suitable for washing purpose . The water supply is controlled entirely by the city-- the land is municipally owned, and the water department is one of the city departments. It is very good financial investment 9 for the city, giving an excess revenue expenses of $270- 251.00 for the fiscal year of 1921. ■'■'he daily consumption of the city has progressed from 6,061 million gallons per day in 1917 to 7,643 million gallons per day in 1921. SEWAGE DISPOSAL T he separate system for sewage disposal is used here. That is, the sewage and water of the city are removed by differ- ent systems. The sewage, after being collected throughout the city, flows down toward the harbor district, and is there screened at the disposal plant. The sewage system at present consists of a total length of 571,814.57 feet (108.30 miles) of sewer pipe of var- ious sizes. xhe gradual slope of the city, from the North arid East make a means for the flow of the sewage twoard the harbor district. The lower portion of .the city to the north-west neces- sitates the sewage being drained to one point and then pumped ' up to the main sewage system of the city. same is required for that part of the city located between the bluff and the ocean. The screening is carried on inside a large concrete building well ventilated by two large stacks at both ends. The sewage goes into a large concrete trough across which in a vertical angle is placed a coarse screen, consisting of large steel rods, 10 about three inches apart. Here the very large pieces of de- bris are caught and this screen is scraped by hand when needed. Pisnosal Plant The sewage then runs into a large round cement tank, t the further end of which is a rotating screen on an inclined plane, known as the Reinsch-wurl screen. Here the finer parti- cles of sewage are collected -- are carried upward by the screen -- brushed off by large rotating brushes at the top, into the trough, and finally into large cans, having a capacity of 525 pounds. The brushes are cleaned several times a day with dis- tillate which in turn/in brushing over the brass screening, re- oves the grease which accumulates on the screen. The screen is lo fl Screen Cement Tank Containing Large Screen 11 composed of several plates made of bars which are "bolted to the frame and thus the worn plates can occasionally be replaced The openings in these plates are slots about 2 millimeters wide and 30 millimeters long, fitting, in close ftpposition to one another. The fluid remainder of the sewage containing the finely divided particles of solid matter, proceeds into a large 16- inch outfall pipe, which extends 1100 feet out into the ocean. About four to five million gallons of this fluid is emptied into the ocean each day. The solid part of the sewage collected into the can from t'e ocreen is burned in a gas furnace located in the building. The filled cans are carried to the top of the furnace. They re dropped into the gratings inside, and thus disposed of. The capacity of the system is about twelve cans per day, but at present, only three cans per day are burned Interior View? of Disposal Plant Incinerator Collecting Can 12 The system of troughs in the incineator are so ar- ranged that the sewage can be sent around the screen, should the screen need to be repaired at any time. This is a very undesirable proceedure, because then the whole solid content of the sewage must be emptied into the ocean. In this caf€at times, the solid matter is washed up on the beach, and brings forth rightful complaints from the residents of this district. This system has been in vogue for the last six years, put in at an expense of $45,000. At that time the system and equipment was very adequqte, tut a« present, the population having trebled in number the equipment is very inadequate. During some of the large winter rains, the storm causes over- flow, the excess water draining into the sewage system, which in turnjoverflows the disposal plant. At other times, when the seqage is particularly heavy, a part has to be shunted around t' e fine thfrffcy, letting a small amount of large solid matter be emptied into the ocean. At the present time, the screen plates are worn quite , and contain several holes, through vf'ich solids escape. The frame in the six years has become so rusty, that the bolt holes will not warrant a change of screen. The shunting of a portion of the sewage around the fine screen is often resorted 13 to and has given rise to many recent complaints. However, sufficient bonds were voted last year to in- stall a new sewage disposal system, and it is now a question as to which is the best system to adopt. Sho Id they decide to use the present Reinsch-Wurl system, it would seem wise to put in two screens inste ,d of one, whereby, should one need repair- ing, the other could be used and in time of excessive amounts of sewage, both could be used. As the city grows, another screen could be added. It would also seem adviseable to extend the outfall pipe further into the ocean, but with adequate means of screening, no complaints would be forthcoming from solid ma- terial washing up on the beach. The disposal plant is located at the mouth of the harbor, which is not the most desirable condition, an the in- coming tides bring in a portion of the sewage to the harbor. Recently, a case of typhoid has been discovered in a child, who had been swimming in the harbor near the disposal plant. Consequently, the question arises as to whether or not the sew- age vzas the carrier. The chances are that there was some, other source of this infection, but always the spread of a disease must be thought of in such a disposal of sewage, and is an added incentive for the length of the outfall pipe.. With an adequate means of screening, and iMcrfifse in the length of t outfall pipe which is to be realized in the very near future, the sewage disposal of the city will be very satisfactory. 14 (GARBAGE REFUSE AO ASHES Each family in the city is required to be supplied with a garbage can, whose capacity is not under three gallons or over sixteen. This can is to be covered by a tight-fitting lid, and to be placed in the alley at the rear of the house. Garbage is collected by means of large steel wagons, known as Lee type trailers, which have a carrying capacity of five cubic yards, or nine thousand pounds. These trailers are drawn, some by horses, and others by tractors. In the down- town district, the garbage is collected once per day. Adjacent to the downtown district three times per week, and in the resi- dence district, twice per week. These trailers, when full, are covered over with a heavy piece of canvas, and are conveyed to a central station, in the eastern part of the city, known as the city yards. From here, they are taken in trains of twTo, drawn by a tractor, to the hog farm located behind Signal Hill, average hawli g distance is 4.1 miles. Lee Trailer and Tractor 15 The equipment of the city in this regpect, consists of ten Lee type trailers, three tractors, six teams, and two men assigned to each trailer. The average amount hauled is 21.3 tons per day, or 1740 loads in six months. The average cost for hauling the garbage in the last six months, has been §3.20 £er ton, which is very much higher than it will be from now on. The cost for the last month was only 81/ per ton. I'he city is paid §1.30 per ton for the garbage so there is con iderable revenue from its disposal in this way. The efficiency of this system can bej/'be shown by the number of complaints which have been reduced from 464 to 17 in the last six months, which speaks very well for the sys- tem. RUBBISH AND ASHES Rubbish, sonsisting of papers, tin cans, etc., with the ashes, are removed by means of large hoBse-drawn wagons. Tree trimmings are removed by separate wagons, but taken to the same place, I'he refuse from the downtown section is removed three times .er week, and from the outlying downtown district twice per week, whiMt it is removed from the residential dis- trict Cnee per week. 15A Sanitary Dump - Filled In Portion Fdge of Sanitary Dump Not Yet Filled In 16 The rubbish must be deposited by the families in a large barrel and placed near the alley. It is then hauled to a section of low land on the north-west part of the city, quite isolated from any houses, and there dumped. The papers and tree trimmings are burned every evening. The ashes and tin cans, etc. are then covered with surplus dirt, which is hauled in from vari- ous pafts of the city, and thus two purposes are accomplished -- the land is filled in, and the refuse covered over. This fill- in at present is about fifteen feet deep, and quite large in extent. No disagreeable odors were emanated in the neighbor- hood of this so-called sanitary dump, and the unsightliness of a dumping ground was also absent, due to covering by dirt. The average cost of hauling and disposal has been <3.60 er ton for the last six months. Some 11,420 loads have been hauled d ring this time; there have been 59f complaints. Again the efficiency of this method is shown by the reduction in the number of complaint > from 161 to 26 per month. Both the disposal of garbage and rubbish seem to of- fer no objection in regard to the relation to health. Both are disposed of far enough away from residential districts, and there is no possibility of water pollution from either source. The feeding of the garbage to the &ogs has been severe- ly criticize--, but '.'ill be discussed later on. 17 KILK SUPPLY Long Beach is very fortunate in its exceptionally good milk supply. The Long Beach Dairy and Creamery Company Is the largest distributor, selling approximately 40,000 pounds per day, this being from one half to three quarters of the to- - 1 old in the city. ..'here are a number of other dis- tributors, and various small dairies who deliver their milk. The Long Beach Dairy has for its supply about bne thousand cows, thirty-eight of which are at the certified dairy. The short time intervening between producer and con- sumer is one of the best features. The night's milk is cooled at the ranch by means of water aereatibn and is collected the next morning very early. It is then taken to the creamery in the city and used for the most part for cream and wholesale consumption. The morning's milk is very little delayed, and only from 3 to 5 hours is spent from cow to consumer. It is first taken to the creamery to be pasteurized, and then is de- livered . The state law prescribes the constituents of differ- ent grades of r ilk. urade A raw milk must contain not more than 200,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, and must be cooled below 50° p. Pasteurized milk must contain less than 16,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, and certified milk is that milk produced from a dairy under contract and supervision of the county medical board. It must contain less than 10000 bacteria. 18 The creamery is a very well regulated and well equipped plant. Located almost in the heart of the city, makes it very accessible. The milk is brought into the dairy in ten-gallon cans, with metal tops. These are washed and sterilized after each using. The milk is emptied and wieghed in a large glass- lined vat. It then is run over pipes and heated to 145P F., which drives off the undesirable odors in the milk. From this it is run into coils of pipe and heated to 145° for thirty minutes, after which it runs over pipes and is cooled to 45° F., bottled and delivered. All of the large, vats are glass-lined, and have a capacity of from 500 to 1200 gallons. All of the pipes through which the milk runs are in four-foot lengths and after each pasteurizing, are taken apart cleaned, and sterilized with live steam. All other equipment is also cleaned and sterilized. All workers are required to wear clean white garments. This form of pasteurization seems very complete and efficient. The open 'eating of the milk drives off t e odors, which at certain times of the year are so offensive, particularly whbn tie cows are fed on green alf • If a. An additional ten min- utes of heating insures thoroughness, and the temperature is very carefully regulated so as not to.overheat the milk. 19 About 95% of the total milk supply from this dairy is pasteurized, and as this is about three-fourths of the to- tal milk sup ly of the city, then approximately 75,000 ounds of pasteurized milk is sold. The Long Beach Dairy is a very strong advocate of pasteurization, and feel that it takes nothing of importance from the milk, and that it ivyroves the flavor. Bottles are very carefully cleaned. They are first rinsed in warm water, and then in an alkali.solution. They are then washed several times in clear water, and then passed into steam compartments, inverted in the boxes, and gradually washed and heated up to 200° F. The creamery controlls one dairy from which is ob- tained the certified milk supply of the city.. This dairy is situated about a mile from the city, and is in a very good locality for a dairy. There are about fifty cows in the herd, thirty-eight f which are ncv*/-producing. This dairy is con- sidered a model of its kind, and has attracted visitors from all parts of the world. The owner and three assistants run the dairy, and do it very well. Pane system of milking and arrangement of appara- tus is carried out, and is an Australian patent.. 20 Milking Shed and Punway The cows are first "brought into the enclosure with a cement floor. Thdn the hose is turned on them, and they are thoroughly washed. They are then led into Lhe stall, the udders washed, and wiped dry. A small amount of milk is drained by hand, which is not mixed with the rest of the milk, thus washing away which might have collected dirt. 21 The milking apparatus is then attached, wl ich is a vac mm affair. The milk runs through a small section of glass tubing which gives an idea as to how the milk is flowing. The milk then runs into the main pipe-line, through into the " ottlang house. Pipe to Milk -- House Milker in Operation Showing Glass Tube at Bottom From here it runs into a large covered tank, and then trickles down over a series of pipes, through which ice-cooled water is running. It is then collected again at the bottom into the totties, and is bottled and then sealed. In this way, the 22 milk is brought from the cow to the cooling apparatus before being exposed to the air, and only a very few minutes elapse between the time of milking and bottling. Interior of Milking Shed Showing Udder Being Cleaned Before Attaching Milker The evening milk, after being bottled, is put in a cool piace, and kept at 40° P., and is delivered with the morn- ing milk the next day. The morning milk is only two to five hours old. The milk is delivered direct to the customers, with- out going to the creamery. "ZZ Pl - Bottler in Action Codied pipes Strainer Bottler -23- All the utensils used are sterilized in a steam : .erilizer under pressure, for one hour. All the pipes run- ning from the milking stalls to the milk-house are in four- foot lengths, nd after each milking are taken apart, cleaned and sterilized. This dairy is under a contract with the County Medi- cal Board which requires the milk to be handled in certain ways. The most important points in this contract are: 1. That the stables must be of certain size, and clean; 2. Caws are fed on the same feed continually. 3. ? ilk house and milking quarters must be on windward side of the stables. 4. Cows are tubercular tested, and given general physi- cal test every four months. 5. Mew cows entering the herdmust come from a herd with less than 10% of tuberculosis. 6. Cows must be kept clipped and washed. 7. Men must pass a health inspection 8. Milk must be cooled to 50° F. 9. T'ilk must contain not less than 4% butter-fat. 10. Milk must contain not more than 10,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. 11. Milk must be free from all contamination. 12. Milk must be delivered in eight hours. 13. There must be a chemical analysis, of milk daily. Z5R Cow Yard, at Private Dairy Interior of Milking Shed at Private Dairy BOARD OF HEALTH SANITARY INSPECTION OF DAIRY FARMS. SCORE CARD.

The wind, corning from the west, brought with it quite frequently the most.nausiating odors, of unde- terminable origin. This, however, has disappeared, for t' e time being, due to the fact that the city declared these odors a nuisance, and the canneries had to close dov/n or d spose of the odors; this latter course being adopted. At the present time the city is quite free from any obnoxious odors. Dirt is not much of a problem, as water is very plentiful, and the greater majority of the streets are paved; there eing 60.29 miles of paving at present. The dirt streets on the outskirts of the city are oiled quite frequently and when 25 necessary are sprinkled. The property-owners along these street; pay for the gravel and the city produces the oil and the neces- sary labor. The paved streets are swept by hand, the men being required to wear white suits, and the dirt is collected by wago® and used ling-in purposes at the sanitary dump. Empty lots are required to be kept clean by the city. In case the property-owner fails to keep the lot clean and free of 'weeds, the city hires the work done and holds the property for payment. jFlies are very scarce, due to the lack of breeding places, and absense of hot weather. Mosquitos are, or have been at times, very much of a nuisance, especially at the west side of the city, being carried in f'ora the low harbor districts, by the westerly winds. The city at present has a squad of men employed who attend to the mosquito question. Any still body of water is covered with a thin layer of oil, marshy ground is drained, and various other precautions taken. There have been discovtred recently a few anopheles mosquitoes, but as yet there have been no cases of malaria reported. Rats and vermin are negligible quantities. Automobiles have so replaced horses that I know of hardly a stable in the city. Oil is used almost entirely as fuel, and consequently the fires can so be regulated th. t there is very little smoke. 26 The frog farm which ade its entrance a year ago as a "bone of contention for some time at the time of its inaugu- ration. Ladies a/l societies etc., threatened the public with d/K cealmit es should uch a farm be established but to date no dad effects have been noted. The farm is located on- the northern part of the slope of Signal Hill, about two miles from the city limits. It is about a mile from t'e artesian wells, so there is no chance of pollution of the water supply. The farm consists of forty acres of land rented from the city by Japanese who awn the hogs. About 5000 head are kept n the farm. Pens are built in rows, with aisles large enough for a wagon to pass betwean the rows. Each pen has a trough and a sort of a shed. Pen and Shed with Feeding Trough -27- The garbage is brought by the tractors to the farm, there unloaded by dumping into a large crib built about ten feet from the ground and having a shute and driveway on one side. The garbage, after being dumped into this crib is taken out bry way of the shute in large wagons, and distributed among the pens, thrown partly on the ground, in the trough, and on the backs of the pigs. 28 Odors and flies were the most noticeable objects. The pens are cleaned daily and refuse burned. The hogs are sold to a packing company in Los Angeles, The Japanese pay $1,30 per ton for the garbage and use 40-60 tons per day during the summer months. 29 The legal definition of a nuisance is given as "condi- ti ns that are offensive to the senses, or that are, or that threaten to beco e, if suffered to continue, detrimental to the public health." "All pools of stagnant water, and all collec- tions of filth, garb ge, manure, or other substances that are or may beco le breeding places or food for mosquitoes, flies, rats or o:her diseaseTearrying insects or animals, are hereby declared to be nuisances." Abatement of nuisances are under the jurisdiction of the city manager and health officer, And have the power to order the owner or occupant of property on which nuisances are located, to remove such a nuisance. In case the owner cannot be hound, or refuses to comply with the demand, the nuisance is removed by the city and changed against the property. IKDUSIRIAI H Y G I E IT E The industrial growth of this city has made great strides in the past few ye rs. The industrial centre is located in the harbor district, on filled-in land. The city has favored the establishment of industries on t'1 is center, and has spent a great deal in developing the harbor with this view in mind. With the best of railroad transportation facilities; with cheap electric power, and the finest of labo- conditions, Long "each has promise of unthought of wealth in her industries. Among other industries are many fish canneries, a match factory, one 30 of the largest ship-building companies in the west, the Curtis Packing Company, candy factories, woolen mills, etc. The Curtis Canning Corporation is a company located in the harbor district which cans fish, olives, pimientos, etc. It has steadily grown the last few years until at present it is the largest concern of its kind in the south. The canning of fish is its chief product. The vicinity of Catalina Island is well known for ts fish.'ng, and the Curtis Company charts s many small boa >s which fish in these waters. The so-called tuna, or technically known albicore, is caught by the tons during the fishing sen on. A portion of the fish is cleaned on the boat when ca , wl the glood from the meat, g ' : : hich is so in d. The larger fish are brought' to the plant and cleaned on a platform built older the water. fter the removal of the entrails, the fish are put in large trays and laced in live steam ovens, and cooked. i'he oil is drained off at the bottom of the oven and used for various pupposes. The fish are then passed into the sorting room, where the skins are removed and lar e ie'ces of the meat are cut away from the bones. The bones have been thoroug ly cooked, but are removed, i'he fish then goes to the jacking table where it is cut into suitable lengths, packed into the con by hand, and the can 31 sealed. The utmost cleanliness is demanded of the. workers, and inspection of individual employees is mr.de when they are emp" pryed. The cans then pass through a lye solution, and are then ut into large steel autoclave, where they are heated at 240° F. from one to two hours, according to the size of the cans. This makes the contents•ahsolutely free from contam- ination. The refuse is sold for fertilizer. Olives are also one of the biggest productions. The olives are sent to the plant from the groves in barrels filled with water to prevent bruising of the fruit. On arrival at the plant, they are graded and put in large vats of )ye water to neutr .lize the bitter acid in the olives. They are left in this caustic soda solution one week, i re then regraded, and sorted. They are then washed, p t up in a brine, and canned. The cans ar exhausted, sealed, and are heated in th autoclave,, for forty minutes at 240° F. This forty minutes at 240° F. gives seven times as much time at a higher detree, which guards against any possible growth of t-e bolutinus bacilli. Chili pe pers are also canned, and heated to 212°F. for forty-five minutes. plant keeps a full-time laboratory man, and as- sistant, and has a well-equipped laboratory. They go to a great deal of care in giving abt lute protection against c ntamination 32 of their canned products and have a very well regul ted and hygi en i c plant. HOUSING The city has no tenement buildings, and the strictest attention is paid to housing c nditions. Among the many newly constructed buildings is the Ma- rine Bank, a large ten-story building, strictly fireproof, in the heart of the city. There are seventy-six rooms, all around a court, the rooms thereby needin • no artificial ventilating sys- tem. They are all heated by steam under low pressure. Steam vacuum pumps are used and the condensed steam is returned to the boilers. In the basement however a thorough ventilating system is installed. Buffalo Duplex Conoidal pumps are used, one a suc- tion and the other a discharge pump. The suction pump obtains its air from a 36-inch pipe which goes into the roof of the buil- ding. Each room contains an inlet and outlet pipe, graded ac- cording to the size of the room. xhis s stem has recently been installed and has roved very satisfactory. 33 INFECTIOUS DISEASES Diseases, notification of which are required by the State Board of Health, are: Anthrfcx Beri-Beri Cerebrospinal Meningitis Chicken Pox Cho1e ra (Asiatic) Dtngue Dysentery Diphtheria Ery S - pel as Ger ;an Measles G1 an de r □ "onoco reus Infection Hookworm Influenza Leprosy Lethargic 3is IT al aria Measles Mumps Opthalmia Neonatorlum Pellagia Plague Pneumonia Poliomyelitis Rabi e s Scarlet Fever Small Pox Syphilis Tetanus Trachom a Tuberculosis Typhoid Fever Typhus Fever '■'hooping C o u gh Yellow Fever 34 Each of these diseases are reported to the health officer a,nd to the State Board of Health.

Onset AgE ADDRESS Have Influ East Yet The object of State registration of tuberculous patients is the collection of data which will enable the members of the Bureau of Tuberculosis to estimate the extent of the tuberculosis problem in California and to assist them in formulating plans for its control. In order that these ends may be attained it is necessary that the Bureau should be in possession of as many facts as it is possible to secure regarding the housing conditions, financial standing, social and family relations of the patients as well as to learn of the probable source of infection, the exposure of healthy persons by the tuberculous, and the amenability of the patient to discipline. The members of the medical profes- sion will realize the great value of such data. Moreover, the State law makes it mandatory upon physicians to report all cases of tuberculosis to the State Board of Health. The Board hopes to secure that hearty co-operation of the medical profession which it has every right to expect.

A person suffering from an infectious disease who re- fuses treatment is necessarily reported to the state by law. Should a patient change doctors, he must give his former doc- tor knowledge of this change within ten days, or the former doc- tor will be obliged to report the patient to the state. Failure to report any patient to the state by the ductor is £ fineable offense.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE OFFICIAL BUSINESS SYPHILIS. Syphilis is most frequently contracted through sexual intercourse, but infection may take place through kissing or various accidental means. Child- ren may inherit it. General paresis (softening of the brain) and locomotor ataxia are now known to be late stages of this disease. Syphilis is responsible for not less than ten per cent and possibly 20 per cent of all insanity. Proper education and treatment will most assuredly pre- vent this terrible ending and save these lives and this money. Syphilis is responsible for not less than one-half of the still-born babes, and is a large factor in men- tally defective and deformed children. This also can be prevented through education and proper treatment of the mothers. A large percentage of public women, at least 50 per cent, are infected. This should be a, warning against illicit intercourse. Syphilis begins as a small sore, approximately three weeks after exposure, on the privates, if infec- tion takes place through sexual intercourse; on the lips or in the mouth, if from kissing. About five weeks later there is usually an eruption, beginning on the abdomen, of copper colored spots. These may remain and become more prominent, or may disappear of themselves. From now on, there may be recurrences of spots, sores in the mouth or on the genitals; or the disease may remain in the system for months or years until some form of paralysis sets in. During this period an examination and blood test would likely disclose the condition. All sores are highly contagious. Syphilis can most certainly be cured, but prolonged and skillful treat- ment is necessary. No one can promise or guaran- tee a quick cure, and usually only quacks do this. Therefore, it is most important that one go to a reputable physician and avoid quacks, fakirs and advertising medical institutes. Generally two or three years of treatment are required. This should consist of not less than ten to fifteen doses of sal- varsan ("606"), and several courses of mercury treatment. Mercury should be injected or rubbed; if taken internally as pills or mixtures, it serves only to relieve for the time being and not perma- nently to cure. Tests of the blood are needed frequently to assist the physician in directing the treatment. It should be remembered, however, that a negative test dur- ing treatment does not mean one is well, but only that progress is being made. Patients who marry before they have been suffi- ciently treated, either with or without their physi- cian's consent, may infect their husbands or wives, and bring into the world diseased children, if indeed death does not take place before the child is born. These children w7ith inherited syphilis may have any of the spots or sores that other cases have, except the initial sore, but the most common symptoms are "snuffles" and eye troubles. Eighty per cent of all these little patients are likely to be partially or wholly blinded. DON'TS FOR SYPHILIS. DON'T let anyone, physician or other person, tell you that syphilis can be cured in a few7 weeks or months. It usually takes two or three years of the very best treatment. DON'T let anyone tell you that you have a "slight touch of syphilis," or a "light case." You either have syphilis or do not have it, and syphilis is always a serious disease. DON'T let any physician guess as to whether you have syphilis or not. By examining the skin and . mucous membranes, making blood tests and micro- scopic examinations of all sores, it is nearly always possible to state positively. Insist on this sort of examination at the beginning, as after some treat- ment even an expert may be unable to give you positive information. DON'T go to medical institutes or physicians who advertise. If they knew as much as they claim, there would be no use in their spending thousands of dollars in advertising. DON'T allow yourself to be treated by pills or internal medicine. Most of the cases now in the asylums were treated in that way. Your physician has information or can obtain information as to what is the correct treatment. Insist on his giving it to you, or sending you to someone who can. DON'T have sexual intercourse if you have syphilis, until your physician tells you it is safe. SYPHILIS AND GONORRHOEA Issued by the . Bureau of Social Hygiene California State Board of Health 417 Market Street San Francisco, Cal. It has been known for some time among health officials that venereal diseases, syphilis and gonorrhtea, are responsible for approximately as much illness and as many deaths as tuberculosis and cancer; and yet, owing to the secrecy con- cerning them, no corresponding effort has been made to publicly combat them. At least 50 per cent of the victims are innocent wives and children, and many are accidentally infected. It is now proposed to draw aside this curtain of hypocrisy and attack these diseases from a public health standpoint, fighting them in the open as we do other infectious and com- municable diseases. Education is the first step in this process. To this end, this bureau is now requiring that practitioners and all approved clinics distribute to all patients afflicted with these diseases, proper literature setting forth their seriousness, the danger of infection and the need for proper and skilled treatment.

Many people understand that syphilis is just a later stage of gonorrhoea; gonorrhoea is due to a specific germ and has no relation to syphilis. One is not well so long as this germ is present. As is the case with syphilis, gonorrhoea is most frequently caught through sexual intercourse with a person who already has the disease. Children or other innocent persons may catch gonorrhoea from towels or toilet articles used by an infected person. In men, gonorrhoea starts with a burning and a discharge from the penis; in women with a vaginal discharge. No one can truly say if this discharge Is gonorrhoea or not until a microscopical examination is made. Therefore, every patient should see to it that such an examination is made before any treat- ment is started. In men, the inflammation may extend into the bladder and cause frequent urination, extend to the testicles and cause sterility. Many childless marriages are due to the fact that the husband had gonorrhoea with such complica- tions, before his marriage. In women, the disease may extend into the blad- der and cause frequent urination, and may also extend into the uterus (womb), causing internal abscesses or pus tubes. Such complications fre- quently necessitate operations and sometimes cause death; at best sterility results. In either case, the germs may get into the blood and cause diseases of the valves of the heart, or gonorrhoeal rheumatism in the joints. If the mother has gonorrhoea when her baby is born, it may affect its eyes and cause blindness, unless very skillful treatment is at once given. Practically all public women have had gonorrhoea and every time a man has to do with such a woman, he takes a chance of catching it, for they rarely if ever get well after they have been infected. In both men and women, it is very difficult to cure gonorrhoea. One rarely if ever, gets well in less than six weeks, and it may take many months. The person is not cured when the discharge is gone. Many innocent wives are infected by husbands who believed themselves cured. Under no conditions should persons suffering from gonorrhoea attempt to treat themselves, or accept suggestions from druggists. The quack and the fakir who promises a quick and cheap cure is also to be avoided. Go at once to a competent physician and follow his instructions until he, after all tests have been made, pronounces you cured. DON'TS FOR GONORRHOEA. DON'T allow anyone to convince you gonorrhoea is anything but a serious affair. DON'T let anyone tell you they can fix you up in a few days. As a rule, four to six weeks is the shortest time in which gonorrhoea can actually be cured. DON'T think yourself cured when the discharge ceases. There are many chronic cases lasting for years which show little or no discharge. DO N'T guess as to your condition. Have a com- petent physician make a microscopic examination. DON'T waste time trying to treat yourself with remedies advised by friends or druggists. Go at once to a competent physician or clinic. DON'T consult quacks or fake medical institutes that advertise. DON'T have sexual intercourse until all tests demonstrate that you are well. DON'T forget that innocent persons may be infected from your dressings or anything coming in contact with the discharge. Wash your hands after handling the diseased parts. You are given this pamphlet of instructions by your doctor because the law required him to do so and to report your case to the Health Officer by this number WITHOUT REVEALING YOUR NAME. ' If you change doctors for any reason and wish to keep your name concealed you must see to it that the doctor you last consult notifies the doctor pre- viously having charge of your case within TEN DAYS (10 days). If you fail to come for treatment at the time ordered by your doctor within the period in which your disease is infective and he does not receive notice within TEN DAYS from another doctor, stating that you have placed your- self under his professional care, the doctor giving you this pamphlet is obliged by law to report your NAME AND ADDRESS to the health authorities as a person suffering from a disease dangerous to the public health and presum ably not under proper medical advice and care sufficient to protect others rom infection. You will then be liable to quarantine or such other procedure as the Board of Health may determine. If you want your name kept secret, follow these instructions carefully. Your doctor will tell you when your case is no longer infectious. FOR THE PATIENT: READ CAREFULLY. -36- VITAL STATISTICS Large numbers of persons are presumed to go to Califor- nia and especially Southern California, to end their days. How- ever, if this is the case, there seems to be a factor, due to t e climate or some other cause, which counterbalances their ailments, and consequently the death rate is not particularly high. Long Beach shows this pecularity with her sister towns, but she shows even a lower mortality. The following figures show some comparison: Deaths per 100,000 population 918 1919 1920 1921 Long Beach 2725 2160 1478 1256 Fresno 1627 1219 2031 1324 Pasadena 1322 1297 1 23 1451 San Diego 2374 1525 1727 1723 Santa Barbara 1568 1213 1104 1264 This table shows a marked increa.se over the other cities during 194-8 and 1919 when the influenza was at its height, but the last two years this rate has been appreciably lower. Infant mortality in Long Beach shows a more than average care of its infants, and compares very favorable with other cities of this district. a io. 2 ft - I PLACE OF BIRTH.

This speaks vers well, too, for .the class of medical attention with which th: babies are favored. Tuberculosis is a disease which is a large factor among the infectious diseases in this district. California is the ideal place for treatment and consequently the death rate for this disease is quite high. Again Long Beach escapes this high rate due perhaps to the fact that the sea shore is not an ideal loca- tion for the treatment, as is the inland, however, the city com- pares very favorably with other citie , as and $anta Barbar , wh ..ch are on the sea coast. 38 1918 1919 1920 1921 Long Beach deaths 32 20 28 7) 9 rate per 100,000 115 57 50 42 Fresno det ths 52 65 129 0 rate per 100,000 124 148 280 104 'Pasadena deaths 71 87 73 67 rate per 100,000 165 195 158 141 San deaths 161 145 167 10 5 rate per 100,000 232 199 218 131 Santa Barbara deaths 30 26 21 20 rate per 100,000 3165 13 7 106 97 These mortality figures were obtained from the State Board of Health, for all the cities except Long Beach, the figures for which were "obtained from the local Board of Health. Vital statistics as regards individual cities are kept very well by the state, but not by the cities themselves. At the present time the local boa d of health did not have statistics giving death rates for various diseases, infant mor- tality, or specific rates for various diseases. The data from which these rates could be computed was very carefully obtained and kept, but improvement could be made in the r 'tes themselves. 39 SCHOOLS 0 California is well-known for its advancement along educational lines, and Long Beach is a very good example of the California system. At the present time, Long Beach has fifteen public schools, and one Polytechnic school. Several of the grade scho Is are being remodeled and a.dded to, vf'ile the high sc' oOl has just completed a large addition, about doubling it in size. With, this ' arge number of schools, the need, however, is not fully met with, and the c' asses are crowded and in a number of schools at present half-day sessions are resorted to, at least until the completion of the new additions. The high school, as originally built, was a large two-story struc ure, having a large wing on each side of the main building. Behind, and beneath the assembly-room, is a large room where the ho -air furnaces furnish hot air for heating purposes. ihis syst m had never proved a success, and last year a new system was installed, new system is known as the Johnson heating system, and consists in an oil heating furnace, andthe air, before being passed up through the rooms is passed over water which gives it sufficient moisture. Bach room is equipped with a thermostat set at 68° B. In the new buildings of the high school, the gas ra- 40 diator system is used. Ea.ch room is equipped with a number of gas radiators which can be regulated according to each room's special requirement. All the buildings are very well equipped with window space, and the lighting problem is not a difficult one to solve in California, where there are very few dark days.to contend with. Each room however is equipped with indirect lights, which are used for night classes. Each of the grammar schools has a large play-ground and arils are required to spend a certain time outside in the various sports besides \he routine calisthenics in the class- room . The High School has a large football and baseball field, a girl's gymnasium, and a men's gymnasium. Each student unless or she has a physician's certificate stating a- dis- ability prohibiting exercise, is required to take at least 120 minutes per week of exercise, but this is practically always doubled. . Christian Scientists, and other organizations, have very materially retarded the health problem in .he schools, and their influence has brought about a laxness in physical examinations of the school children and in treatment for troubles. A health nurse is employed, who spends three days per week in each ; chool, aslo investigates individual "ages, 41 and sees to the prevention of any impending epidemics/ Formerly each student was required to undergo a phy- sical examination, but this has now been dispensed with. Cali- fornia has a vaccination law but any consciencious objector may be excused for vaccination, and many are conscientious ob- jectors. No Schick teats are done in the public schools, Children are excluded from school when having any contagious disease, or in whose fa ily there is any contagi- ous disease . So-called open air study halls are becoming very popular in the schools, these consisting in large rooms en- tirely surrounded by windows which are kept open most of the time. ■ -s about one-half of the school time is spent in the study halls, the st dent thereby spends a great part of the day in the open air. 42 MISCELLANEOUS MARKET Some years ago, a public market, was started at first consisting of a few truck gardeners, fruit-raisers, etc., who brought -their reducts to the city three times a week, and rked their wagons around the Centr. 1 park, 'i'his establishment has grown to great proportions, and now is of considerable importance. "t'wo sides of the park are at present given over to the market, w1 ich ' olds forth three times a week, from the hours of seven to twelve. Outdoors all the year, and any and all kinds of eatables are obtainable here, a great variety of fruits, home-cooked foods, etc. A market master is appointed by the city who has charge of the market affairs, inspects each booth, and has the right to condemn any foods wh ch he sees fit. A nominal charge of twenty-five cents is charged each person who sells his wares, and in this way the market master's salary and other expenses are defrayed, and the market made self-sup- porting. At this market, producer and consumer are brought to- gether, vegetables and other foods are gotten as fresh as pos- sible, and it has become a great meeting place, and of special 43 interest to the tourist. These is some opposition to the market from numerous sources, es jecially on its location. Perhaps if it were lo- cated in a place somewhat remote from the park and yet central to customers, it would he more of a success. There are three cold storage plants at present in the city, all of which have been built in the last few years, and ate very satisfactory and up to standard. Kitchens of hotels and restaurants are under the direct supervision of the Public Health Department, and are regularly inspected by the health officer. Barber shops are not under any definite regulations, but are left subject to inspection by the health officer, and to comply with his advice. The Health department includes a very well-equipped diagnostic laboratory, which has been described in the fore-go- ing section on the Health Department. This diagnostic labora- ■ tory is under the direction of a full time bacteriologist and assistant. In the year 1921 there were 1657 exa inations for infectious diseases, and 1239 milk examinations and 70 rater examinations. There is no adequate meat inspection of the city, although the Health Officer may condemn and confiscate any meat which he thinks is unfavorable for use. The Long Beach Social Welfare Bureau is the channel 44 through which the public and private agencies conduct the wel- fare and relief work of the city. xhe superintendent with a staff of fifteen public health nurses and social workers cover the various phases of the work, including material relief, home rehabilitation, school nursing, visiting nursing, pre-natal and infant welfa/e, tubercular nursing, Parents' Educational Center, Hospital Service Employment Department and a slavage store. This system of co-ordination eliminates duplication of time, effort, and money, and places welfare work as a sub- stantial and constructive basis. For the advantage of visting tourists to the city, a Municipal Ground has been established on lano( formerly/ the Virginia Country which is soon to be turned into a City hecreatios Center. 'fere a minimum charge of fifty cents per day is m de for each space used, and the privileges afforded by this is fresh water, free kitchen, public comfort and well-lighted grounds at night. During the spring and sum- mer seasons of 1921 an average attendance of 3,250 ersons arid 1200 automobiles per monfeh show the growing popularity of this park. In the City charter, adopted some time ago, a city Planning Commission was created, fchich consists of eight mem- bers, the City Manager, City Attorney, City Engineer, and four electors of the city. 45 This commission has the power to recommend plans for t'e regulation of the future growth, development, and beautifi- cation of the city, in respect to its public and private build- in ;s, and works, streets, parks, grounds, and vacant lots; to recommend plans for sanitation; to recommend to public authori- ties and to any corporation or individuals the proper locaticn of any proposed buildings, structures, or works, and many other duties, too n merous to mention. By such a proceedure a definite, organized movement is being put forward to beautify and to build up the city in the proper channels. THE BATH HOUSE One of the necessities of a seashore city is a bath- house and Long was among the first to meet this need. The -resent bath house was built in 1902 on ground owned by the Long Beach Land and Water Company, of whihh Col. Brake was one of the chief stockholders. It is situated directly south of the business section of the city just-below the bluff. It is composed of a large concrete tank, 120 x E0 feet, and ranging in depth from 10 feet to 3 feet, and has a capacity of 350,000 gallons of water. The water is pumped from the ooean, is he ted to 84° E. and this temperature is 46 maintained by constant circulation and reheating. The water is changed three times per week and the tank thoroughly flushed by a strong stream of water at each changing. Every two weeks the tank is cleaned and scrubbed with bichloride of lime. The water is drained from the tank through a 24-inch overflow ipe- into the si rf, directly in fron 6f the bath house. Another smaller tank is situated in the women's por- tion of the bath house, the wa er of which is somewhat warmer in tempera .v.re than that in the lai ger tank. The suits after using are first washed in cold water of then soaked in a solution/some creoate compound, and then dried. During the summer months, some fifty to sixty thousand bathers are accomodated each month, and the daily average is two thousand. There are 980 rooms in the bath house, but a two-' our time limit is ut on er dh occupant, so bat each room is used more than once per day. This bath house is wholly inadequate for the present number of people, and it is urged that a new one be forthcoming in the not far distant future. Another smaller bath house is situated in the east portion of the beach, but has no tank , and is only for the re:.- t 1 of bathing suits and booths. A description of Long Beach is not com lete without 47 a worft about the Pike, the Pike being the name given to that portion of the beach along which are various sources of amuse- ments -- roller-casters, dance halls, shows, curio shops, candy shops, etc., Along the Pike every night in the year are crowds of people eager for amusement and here they find achoice assort- ment. Between the Pike and the surf, is a smooth stretch of beach some fifty feet in width and here on Sundays and holidahs and every day throughout the summer are hundreds and thousands of bathers. Truly a trip to Jjong Beach is not com lete withov t seeing the pike, but behind it all is the firm foundation of the city itself built on principals which will stand and which cannot help mak the city keep in the fron t ranks. The most recent of Long Beach's attainments is the oil well. In February of 1921, an oil well was begun near the summit of Signal Hill, and on June 23 of that year, oil was dis- covered in a well being drilled by the Shell Company . It was le rned that the oil sand was 285 feet deep, indicating the ex- istence of a yre&t inderlying pool of oil Yhe news spread, like wildfire, which brought oil operators from all over the country. Land in this regiofo took an unbelievable boom and has gradually soared. Land which formerly had sold for §300 per acre brought, in a matter of a few' months, §50, 00. Gusher after gusher was struck, and. from one well in June, 1921, the number went up into 48 the hundreds. Men became enormously walthy over night, and alr.rge percentage of those men are citizens of the city. In April of 1921 a gas explosion shook thecity, and the fire which followed showed in a spectacular way the im- mense aalth under a part of the city. This was burning for some time, but was finally controlled. Millions of dollars have been, and are being spent in the drilling of wells, and equal amount are being obtained Many fine residences on the hill have been t rned over to the oil co- ' antes and for the workers to dwell in. It is almost unbeliveable how much change has taken place in the la-t two years. A region which was once a quiet farming district has suddenly changed to one of incessant ac- tivity. A well is to be found on almost every fifty feet of ground and nearly all are very good producers. Most of the wells are flowing, and those which have ceased to flow are being drilled deeper, and better wells are being gotten . Early in August, the city leased acres f its land to Ramsey 'Brothers, at a net royalty of 40 per centof all oil and gas pr duced. The first well which came in on the city land was a 4,500-barrel gusher, and has steadily kept up its flow. A second well has just been completed, which came in at 5000 barrels, with a high specific-gravity il. A large n mber of wells are re uired to be ut down on the city land, some forty in number, I believe, and at the present rate.of flow the city's treasury will soon be full to overflowing, present tax-r te has been materially decreased this year, and there has been considerable talk of a taxless city. 49 The wealth obtained from the well is in part turned, into the city's growth, and throughout the city building has taken a great advance and property is steadily inc -easing in value. Careful restrictions have been put on the drilling of "ells in the residential district. It is very doubtful if it would be wise to permit drilling too near the residential districts, as the property of Long Beach is much more depen- dent on its residents than on its oil activities. SUMMARY Long Beach is the sixth city in the state according to population, and second in Southern California, and is endowed with four qualities wh ch are rarely found combined -- a city of homes, recreation, commerce, and industry. In the early history of the city we find a gre t deal of the old Spanish atmosphere, with its ranchos and its romance. Later ,e find the coming of the white man, his attempt to es- tablish a city, its growth >:id development, and now it is the city complete, and its new attainment the oil fields. The very recent development of the city, its fast growth and sound basis on which it grows has left little to be deaired in the way of sanitation, and public health me as res. 50 Maybe the proper disposal of refuse has not quite kept up the pace with the growth but that is soon to be remedied. The water supply of the city is very good, both in purity, softness, and supply. The city owns enough land to in- sure sufficient wells for the future growth of the city. The disposal of ewage is soon to be taken care of n a more ef- ficient way, and the disposal of garbage si ows a very accept- able method of disposal, but rather poor in its practice. The- milk supply is very adequate, and conditions are of the best. In very few c ties of so large a population will such an efficient milk su ply be fo nd, and such shortness of time between the milking and delivering to the consumer. Sanitar; nuisances ha.ve been watched very carefully in the growth of the commercial a,nd industrial side, and con- sequently few nuisances are. .0 be found, The use of oil for fuel lessens materially the amount of .moke which is so very deterimental to many cities. The low mort:lity and morbidity speaks well for the health department and yet many improvements can be made along those lines. Tore and more the public is becoming educated to the need of health measu/es, and whan an asset it is to the com- munity. Consequently, the public will demand more measure for the betterment of th ir health, and the health department is bound to grow and expand. This department i' to be greatly complimented on the handling of the mosquito problem, which for a short t'me appeared to give promise of much difficulty. 51 The schools are trying to keep up with the rapid growth of the city, but with such tremendous strides ahead, as the population has been taking, it is quite /? problem to •eave the adequate facilities for the teaching of so many new residents. BEC0MMENDATI0 1TS A number of very definite recommendations can be made, given in order of their appearance in this survey. At the present time, the sewage disposal is of prime importance. ri'he repair of the present Reinsch-Wurl Screen is inadvisable for two reasons -- first because it is not large enough to take care o'.' the sevzage and secondly, if another screen '/ere installed of the same size, although the two screens com- lined wo. Id b s ffieiently large enough to take care of the sewage, nevertheless if one screen were to be repaired, the other wo Id not be able to take c re of the sewage during the time of repair. Consequently, it i suggested t'mt the present screen be repaired only on contemplation of the installation of two other screens, the save size, or enlarging the concrete base and installing a larger screen along with, another screen of larger 52 caliber, either of which would be able to take cure of the swage. In case this system is used, the fluid part wh ch is emptied into the ocean should first be disinfected by some such process as c1 1 ride of lime. By no means should it be allowed to be discharged in'to the ocean, so near the store as is now done. In regard to the disposal of garbage, I wish to say that I believe the system is good, but poorly worked out. Brom the financial point of view, the city should be makin the profits which are now gained by the Japanese. In the second place, if the city were to take over the piggery, a more sarf. tary affair would surely be the result. Pigpens with concrete feeding troughs and stands would be a very good imporvement which from time to time could be flushed out. Another improvement wo Id b - the direct disposal of the garbage into the pens from the trailers, rather than dumping in a large central bin, and redistributing it among the pens. One of the chief needs of Long Beach is the more thorough examination and care of the school children. Bach child should be g'iven a thorough physical examination at least at en- trance int each of the different systems, i.e., to grade-schools,, t, junior high, and high school. tests should be a routine all #he children, and immunization with the consent of the parents. More and more wo are coming to realize that our best 53 chances for a healthy population lies in healthy children, the time "hen so many contract tuberculosis, heart "isease, etc. Maybe some time such measures will be adopted, and let us '-ope it will be in the not far distant future . Marked improvement could be made in regulations re- garding the b rber shops. How often have I sat in a barber shop and watched a tousled headed laborer having his hair cut, hair which hud not been washed for some time, and whose scalg was a mass of dandruff. Then in a few minutes, I have been ushered into the same chair, and had the same instruments used on my- self without even the slightest pretence of cleaning. It is hard to estimate how many bald heads are the result of lack of cleanliness on the part of the barber and it is usually easy to trace directly most cases of impeTigo to the barber's Baltimore has perhaps the bdst regulations of any city for the cleanliness of the b rber shop. It is somewhat as follows: 1. Powdered soap must be used for all shaving; 2. A new cup or utensil must be used at each shave for mixing the lather; 3. The brush must be sterilized by boiling after each using; 4. Each in trument used on the face or hair must be put through boiling water, and then left in 70%-al- cohol for at least ten minutes after using; No towel must be used more than cnee. The adoption of meh a set of rules would be beneficia.1 and yet would work no hardship on the barber. I am sure a greet many 54 men would feel very much easier in their minds when getting a shave or a hair-cut. At present there is no very thorough in pection of the food and meat consumed in the city. It might work out very well to have a full-time food inspection, Three mornings a week, the duties of the inspector would be to act as market master, and during the other time he could look into the sani- tation of the food-stuffs in the restaurants, meat shops, stores and the m ry small stands on ..he Pike.
