116 Thirty-first Bienniai. Report municipalities, and is also of value to industries seeking locations for new plants. A mobile laboratory has been constructed during the past two years to be used on milk, water, and stream sanitation work. Complete equipment has been installed, and this unit is now ready for operation, as soon as funds and personnel can be provided. Improvements in the filing of all plans and specifications for water and sewerage systems in North Carolina, as required by law, have been made through the installation of new steel filing cases in the offices of the Division. All plans approved by the State Board of Health of these facilities are on file at the State Board of Health. A number of special investigations and problems were handled as routine, such as two tropical storms on the east coast, floods, sewage disposal at the Polio Hospital in Hickory, droughts affecting public water supplies, and special water and sewage disposal problems. Among these special investigations have been a number of requests from industry for assistance relative to the location of new plants, and requirements of treatment for various industrial processes, location of new water supplies (wells), special sewage disposal problems, and problems of operation and investigation resulting from polluted supplies. Much time has been given to assisting small industries, local Health Departments, and schools on surveys for use of standard State plans in institutional sewage disposal plants. A complete survey was made of all shellfish growing areas to determine the extent of sewage pollution reaching these areas. The U. S. Public Health Service cooperated by supplying a trailer laboratory and technical personnel to assist with the work. The entire coast line was covered, and over 5,000 water samples were collected and examined from the shellfish growing areas. Five thousand four hundred and ninety-three acres of these areas were found to be polluted, and recommendations were made to the State Department of Conservation and Development that these areas be restricted. One sanitarian has been assigned to this work, and during the period 1,184 inspections of 198 plants were made. Plans for 44 new shellfish plants were prepared and distributed to the operators without cost. As a result of these activities, 22 new plants were completed at a cost of $58,000.00, which increased the number of certified shucking plants to 48. Also, there were 12 new shellstock plants constructed which cost $6,000.00, bringing the total number of shellstock dealers to 130. In addition, 12 new crabmeat packing plants valued at $27,000.00 were completed, and approximately $32,000.00 were spent in enlarging and repairing existing seafood packing plants. Milk Sanitation This unit has possibly suffered more because of the shortage of personnel than any other unit within the Division. We suffered a great loss in the death of Mr. John E. Floyd, who had been with the State 23 years. It has not been possible to find a person of Mr. Floyd's qualifications to take over the milk work in the western part of the State. The engineer who formerly had charge of this unit of work secured his release from the Army, but declined to return to his former position, because
