He said when a case like this comes to his attention and it ends up in court, the <br />person that had been living in the house usually is allowed to stay. The court <br />figures they are not doing anyone any harm. This couple has children and other <br />relatives but no one really seemed to care about their welfare. <br />Mr. Smith told the Board that he had to condom another house recently at 80 Oak <br />Street. <br />Mr. Lambie recalled that there had been a problem back in 1970 when the Board <br />at that time had to take some action because of the excess trash and litter, <br />clutter around. There was a fire there at that time and newspapers were piled <br />sky-high in some rooms. <br />Mr. Smith discussed the gypsy moth/fifth disease outbreaks. He explained that <br />the small caterpillars are everywhere and getting on people's bodies. They <br />do not bite but they give off a toxin that creates a skin rash. If someone <br />kills the caterpillar that is on them the toxin creates a rash. It can be <br />easily spread by the hand that killed the caterpillar. <br />We have been getting quite a few complaints about the Gypsy moths, several calls <br />regarding private spraying companies and what is being used. <br />?,59 <br />80 OAK ST. <br />CONDEMNED <br />HOUSE <br />GYPSY MOTH <br />Other complaints come in about leakage from the trucks but Mr. Smith explained <br />that is only water that the spray gets mixed with just before the spraying begins. <br />Mr. Lambie asked if this private company spraying could cause a problem. <br />Mr. Smith said "yes" it could. <br />Dr. Erdos asked if any of the Town Park Department workers have come up with <br />a rash. <br />Mr. Smith said that some of them had. <br />Dr. Erdos asked if it was from the cocoons or from the caterpillars. <br />Mr. Smith said they weren't sure. They had been scraping cocoons. He said the <br />small caterpillars get on people and gives off a toxin that is causing a rash. <br />Also, the hairs that make up the egg -mass cover have been reported to produce <br />a dermatitis as well as respiratory problems. <br />Mr. Smith reported to the Board that he had heard from the State Health Depart- <br />ment regarding the flu vaccine for 1981. <br />The State has given a contract price for the vaccine. As of now, each town or <br />city will have to pay for their own vaccine and if they don't order now there <br />may not be any vaccine available. <br />Mr. Smith feels that the State will still be able to supply it free of charge <br />to the towns and cities. He said at this point Dr. Firumara does not know if <br />the State will be able to supply the vaccine free or not. <br />Mr. Lambie asked how long we have to order or buy the vaccine. <br />Mr. Smith said we can not buy any right now as there is no money in the budget. <br />Dr. Erdos wanted to know what would be wrong with ordering the number of does <br />of vaccine that we need and charge $2.00 per shot? <br />FLU <br />VACCINE <br />1981 <br />
