Annual Report
REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK 1957
Honorable Cyril K. Brennan Mayor, City of Attleboro.
Dear Sir:
I submit herewith the annual report of the City Clerk's Office for 1957. The vital statistics enclosed here are complete to closing of today's business and are compared with the four previous years:
1957
1956
1955

During 1957 a total of $14, 572. 93 was taken in over the Clerk's counter for various licenses, permits, fees and for recording. Broken down the records show that $5, 596. 68 was taken in for licenses, fees, etc., for the city; $5, 027. 25 was taken in for sporting licenses and $3, 949 for dog licenses. Under provisions of a Legislative act that became effective May 7, the County receives $1. 75 of each $2. 00 dog license, $4. 75 for each$5. 00 license and all but 25 cents paid for kennel licenses. Under the same act, interpreted by the City Solicitor whose opinion the Clerk has on file at his office, the Clerk retains 25 cents for each dog license issued. The law gives the city 5 cents more for each dog license than it received previous to the passing and accepting of this act.
Monies received for the various licenses, permits, and fees are broken down as follows; Sale of Motor Vehicles $85, Hackney and Express $351, Sunday Sales $215, Common Victualler and Lodging House Keepers $159, Bowling Alley and Pool Table Licenses $224, Miscellaneous $41. 60, Auctioneers $17, Second Hand and Junk $510, Amusements $99, Theatres $94, Guns, Ammunition and Gas Tank Registrations $207. 50, Signs, $171, Marriage Licenses $480, Issuing Certified Copies of Records $894, Recording Chattel Mortgages, Liens, Conditional Sales and Business Names $2048. 58. By act of the State Legislature the fees for marriage, death, and birth certificates has been raised to $1 and this has increased the revenue of the Clerk's Office.
In February, March, and April of this year there was $2354 taken in over the clerk's counter. Only the efficient work of the staff including only Mrs. Theresa Sullivan and Mrs. Gladys Hoyle made this possible as most of the items were of an average of $2. 63 each. In view of the fact that the clerk's staff is the smallest in number in the entire state, in cities of comparable size, the clerk feels that con- siderable credit is due the staff. The clerk's office is open until 7:30 P. M. , or later each Wednesday night and the Clerk has made the customary trip to South Attle- boro for dog licensing. This policy will be continued through 1958.

Annual Report
Report of the City Clerk continued-
During 1957 there have been 1635 sporting licenses issued with a gross value of $5027. 25 of which the city received $362. 75 in fees and $4664. 50 was remitted to the State Fish and Game Department. In April at the start of the fishing season 448 licenses were written out by the clerk's staff.
There were 1653 dog licenses issued in 1957 some for kennels and the dog population appears to remain steady if not increasing in Attleboro. There were 986 male dog licenses, 104 females, 541 spayed licenses issued and 22 kennel licenses. Gross value of the dog licenses sold was $3949 of which the county re- ceived $3598. 60, the city $251. 40 and the City Clerk under Chapter 47 Acts of 1957 retained $99.
During the year filing facilities for vital statistics has been increased and several books of records have been bound. This work will have to be continued if the records are to be maintained and preserved in a manner to satisfy the Secretary of State's office.
More room is needed in this department which should be located by itself for obvious reasons. This is not a new, but continually neglected problem.
Very truly yours,
Kenneth F. Blandin City Clerk.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES FOR 1957
To His Honor the Mayor and Municipal Council:
The work of the department required by state and local laws was carried out and all stores, gas stations, fuel oil dealers, pedlars, scales and equipment were inspected and the required seals attached to correct findings.
Several local licenses were issued and applications for County, State and special licenses were made out for the applicant and mailed to the Bureau of Standards in Boston for verification and completion.
Respectfully submitted, Joseph A McGee, Sealer of Weights and Measures

I am hoping that our city can see its way for a dog shelter large enough to house the many strays that I take into custody, and also to keep them from being molested.
Due to the new Pound Law adopted in the month of May, 1957 to extend the custody of dogs from six days to ten days, means that the Dog Officer must keep and care for them four days longer which becomes added expense.
The expense account of $450. 00 for the recently enacted Pound Law was voted unanimously by the members of the City Council and approved by the Mayor on September 27, 1957.
Respectfully submitted, Michael J. Quaglia Dog Officer

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 1957
To the Board of Trustees and Members of the Corporation:
As we close out the calendar year of 1957, it behooves us to reflect on it historically and see if we can improve our position in 1958.
The treasurer's report reveals to you the financial position of the hospital as of the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 1957. The administrator's report reflects the operating details for the year. I shall, therefore, try to outline some of the problems we must face up to in the immediate future.
As we contemplate our new and expanded facilities which should go into full occupancy this year, we must try to make the fullest use possible of them as rapidly as is con- sistent with the least amount of confusion.
One of the most important aspects of this use is to augment our present staff by en- couraging full-time local service in those areas of medicine where at present con- sultants are used. Our staff is on record as favoring such effort, and a joint com- mittee of the staff and the Board of Managers is working on the preliminary steps to activate a program that will bring our collective thinking to fruition. Assisting in this program is Dr. Robert P. McCombs of Boston, who has over a period of a year visited our hospital weekly conferring with our staff in matters relating to patient care.
A delegation of doctors and members of the Board of Managers spent a day at the Hunterdon Hospital in New Jersey to acquaint themselves with a plan of operation that has been successful there over a period of four to five years. Also a group from that hospital spent an evening with our staff outlining in detail their methods , and giving our staff an opportunity to ask questions.
Further study of our objectives must be made before action is taken, but we feel that with patience and stick-to-itiveness, we can promise the people of the area the best of care when illness or accident strikes.
The following is a report of the amounts expended from City appropriations during 1957:
Water
$3,164. 38 Fuel 16,784. 13
Light and Power 9,915. 04 Insurance 11,381. 62 Total. $ 41,245. 17
Again as last year, I want to acknowledge the splendid cooperation we have enjoyed throughout the year 1957. Building disruptions have often taxed our patience to the utmost because of inconveniences they bring, but thank God, through it all, profes-7 sional and lay people, alike, have worked together for the best interests of our patients.
Respectfully submitted, C. W. Cederberg, Chairman Board of Managers.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
1957
To the Board of Trustees and Managers of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
We meet tonight to review the activities of a most exciting and interesting fiscal year. The forty-fourth annual report reveals more patients treated than any other year. There were 6614 patients hospitalized and 17701 patients treat- ed in our out-patient departments, for a combined total of 24315. Although more patients have been admitted during the fiscal year, the wonder drugs of our era have reduced the patients' stay in the hospital. Total patient days were 40057 or a 230 patient day reduction from a like period last year. This has been true of the past few years too. We are very pleased with the rapid progress patients are making on the road to health because of antibiotics and modern surgery, but the shorter stay creates a financial problem that isn't always understood by the gen- eral public. The shorter the stay, the higher the per diem rate rises. It is the first few days of hospitalization that is the costliest; admission and laboratory procedures, bed linen, operating room, nursing service, X-ray. Usually, these facilities and supplies are used extensively the first few days. In most cases to- day, there is only a day or two of convalescence before discharge during which period the use of supplies and procedures di minish. While it creates a higher per diem rate, the patient pays little more than years ago when the patient's period of convalescence in the hospital required two or three weeks.
Our average stay over the past four years was reduced by one (1) day. This doesn't seem much, but let us project it into a dollar and cents value. The reduc- tion in the average of one (1) day amounts to six thousand, six hundred and four- teen (6, 614) patient days less this past year. At a per diem of twenty-eight ($28. 00) dollars, the total loss in revenue to the hospital by virtue of the reduced average stay of just one day, amounts to one hundred eighty-five thousand, one hundred and ninety-two ($185, 192. ) dollars. The shorter stay, increased salary costs, together with the inflationary period in which we live, will require higher per diem rates in this hospital and others in the year that lies ahead if this trend continues.
NEW WING
Some departments have already moved into the new wing. The transfer was made with no disruption of service. It is with pride and joy that I call your atten- tion to the fact that this could not have been accomplished without the sacrificial efforts of the employees and department heads. They have shown themselves to be of superior quality, and I am deeply grateful to them, personally.
Overheard everywhere during open house last month was, "Isn't the color scheme outstanding? And aren't the drapes and furniture exceptional ?" Yes, the color scheme is outstanding, and the drapes and furniture, exceptional; but it just didn't happen that way by chance. It was due to the untiring efforts of a committee from the Hospital Aid Association. The chairlady, Mrs. Milton Johnson and her able co-workers, Mrs. Harry I. Bixby and Mrs. Roy W. Nelson, worked daily since early summer selecting colors, materials, and furniture.
6.
Annual Report
Report of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital continued-
Since they were doctors' wives, they had an added incentive, I believe, to accom- plish their task. The magnitude of their performance just couldn't be fully appre- ciated by anyone until a complete tour of the building is made. I can't sing their praises too loudly or long. The entire community owes them a debt of gratitude. I personally want to here and now publicly acknowledge their significant accom- plishments.
TEACHING PLAN
For years, members of the community have approached me from time to time and asked, "When are we going to have internse at Sturdy?" I am happy to announce that a joint committee of Board and Medical Staff have met with a view of bringing this about. Robert P. McCombs, M. D. , Director of Medical Educa- tion at Pratt Diagnostic, an affiliate of Tufts Medical School, was engaged by the Board of Managers a year ago and he has been establishing a teaching program among the staff members. Conferences will be held with teaching hospitals affi- liated with medical schools to ascertain what their requirements are to establish a residency program in the major fields of medical practice within our institution.
Wherever additional medical personnel are required for teaching and/or to broaden our coverage in the specialties, the joint committee will endeavor to meet that need.
Meanwhile, an affiliation was confirmed this month with the Truesdale Hos- pital of Fall River, Massachusetts, for the training of interns: in the field of Ob- stetrics and Gynecology. With an average of twelve hundred (1, 200) deliveries a year at our institution, this service has possibilities for a good internship pro- gram. The Obstetrical Department under the direction of William J. Morse, M. D. is to be commended for their willingness to undertake this added responsibility of a teaching curriculum.
MANAGEMENT ENGINEERS
In my last annual report I mentioned our good fortune in obtaining the volun- tary services of The Society for the Advancement of Management". They have held meetings twice a month with key personnel in "Work Simplification .. They are presently reviewing the numerous forms used in our organization in an en- deavor to consolidate some and eliminate others. These suggestions for improve- ment in operations are most welcome. Improvements which lower costs without lowering standards are particularly gratifying and helpful. So I look forward to this new year encouraged that S. A. M. and key personnel will work together to devise improved methods at lower costs.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
It is my earnest prayer that in some manner substantial funds will be re- ceived shortly to meet our future requirements.
7.
Annual Report
Report of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital continued-
1. $50,000. -- To modernize the old buildings and equipment, including nurses' call system, new furniture,
wallpaper in patient rooms, additional bathrooms, etc.
2. $450, 000. -- For Nursing School building. A new hospital of itself is valueless unless we have trained personnel available to maintain service within it.
3. $350, 000. -- Required to complete and equip new wing free of encum- brances.
How many of us here tonight have made a will, and, if so, have we remem- bered our community hospital in it? Our hospital is the one community project where rich or poor, cultured or non-cultured, white or black, Catholic, Jew, or Protestant can work together for a common good. Remember, it was one brick placed on top of another that completed the Empire State Building. It is the funds that we can give -- although individually, may be small -- that will pyramid collec- tively to meet the needs I've mentioned.
CRITICISMS
On an average of once a year, I receive an anonymous letter criticizing some hospital service rendered. I know I speak for the vast majority of our personnel when I say, "Constructive criticism is welcomed . However, there isn't much we can do about rectifying our mistakes unless specific information is received. Our employees in all categories are, in the main, extremely conscientious and are most anxious to meet every need with efficience and diplomacy. Therefore, please do not hesitate to tell us where we falter. Only in this manner, can we serve and please you.
CIVIC-MINDED PEOPLE
Each year it is my privilege as well as duty to express appreciation to all who have in some measure contributed their time and talent to various hospital services. It is said, "The pen is mightier than the sword. " But I find my pen wholly inadequate to convey my innermost feelings. It seems to me organizations and individuals have given more services this year than ever before. It augers well for the future.
Service Clubs, Industry, Hospital Aid, Red Cross, Firemen, Press, Radio, and T. V. , Medical Staff Members, Trustees, Volunteers, Board of Managers, and total Staff have worked harder for the common good this year. And this common effort has resulted in improved facilities and standards. This surely is a greater reward of recognition than any words I can pen to you individually.
