Hotel and Restaurant Inspections..................................................................58 26. Dairy Inspections ................................................................................................2 Note.—The above includes only the principal items of the Health Officers' work. A great variety of less important functions must be omitted, as they are difficult to reduce to figures. The w^ork set forth in the foregoing report has an economic value to the State which, though somewhat intangible, is nevertheless vast and real. The assignment of reasonable and conservative economic values to items of public health work, however, is nearer to a solution than might be expected. With regard to certain items experience has demonstrated to a degree of certainty both the cost and the market value. In other instances we are enabled by statistical studies to estimate fairly accurately the hazard to life when certain communicable diseases are subjected to public health control as compared to a like hazard when no public health measures are employed. Upon these and other principles the Secretary of the State Board of Health In his annual report for April 1, 1919, to April 1, 1920, pages 3 to 5, has deduced certain financial values which seem to be open to little chance for criticism. These values are herewith applied to certain of the more important items of the foregoing report of work done in the cooperating counties. 1. Public meetings, 1,813; attendance, 172,110, at 10 cents per capita.$17,211.00 2. Newspaper articles supplied, 3,739. On the basis of 500 words per article, and 1 cent per word, this would place each article at $5.00. Total value................................................................................18,695.00 3. Sanitary privies built, 15,633, at $5.00 each............................................78,165.00 4. Sewer connections, 920. These certainly have equal or greater public health value than sanitary privies. They are, therefore, assigned the same financial value, at $5.00 each..................4,600.00 5. Persons treated for hookworm disease, 2,176, at $2.00 each............4,352.00 6. Communicable diseases controlled by quarantine or otherwise... 15,414
