ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Early in the year 1942 the town suffered the loss of Selectman George Hatch. Mr. Hatch had been serv- ing as chairman of the Board of Public Welfare and was in charge of all phases of relief work as well as being on the Board of Assessors. Mr. Hatch was deeply interested in the affairs of the town and very conscien- tious in performing the duties of his office. The loss of Mr. Hatch was a very real loss to the town.
It was fortunate that during the interim of the ill- ness of Mr. Hatch that the selectmen had secured the part time services of Mr. George L. Tormey of Taunton, who has had many years of experience in handling re- lief work in Taunton. Mr. Tormey has acted as inves- tigator and advisor to the Welfare Board. Mr. Tor- mey has been very efficient and tactful in this work and has furnished the Board with up to date reports on all relief cases in the town. He has been ably assisted in this work by Miss Bernice Andrews.
We feel that Mr. Tormey has very effectively served the interests of the town in giving fair consid- eration to every recipient of relief in the town. In a few cases the investigation has shown a need of an in- crease in the amount of assistance given. In a number of cases the investigation has resulted in a reduction in the assistance given or the discontinuance of the case.
Because of the improvement in employment con- ditions due to the war effort there has been a consider- able reduction in the cost of relief during the past year.
The WPA was discontinued late in 1941 so that no money was needed for this purpose in 1942. In 1941 the WPA appropriation was $4,000.00. The total cost for general relief in 1941 was $6,633.54. While I do not have the final figures for 1942 the Town Treasurer figures as of Dec. 21st, 1942, showed the expenditure to that date was $3,381.44 or a little more than half of the 1941 figure. Nearly all of the general relief cases this year were necessitated because of illness and hospitalization.

ANNUAL REPORT
Eight hundred dollars was appropriated for Sol- diers' Relief in 1942 but only $261.71 was needed. There were no soldier relief cases receiving aid at the end of the year.
Sixteen hundred dollars was appropriated in 1942 for Aid to Dependent Children. At the beginning of the year there were four families receiving aid from this source. At the end of the year only one family was receiving such assistance.
Duing the past year or so there has also been a re- duction in the number of Old Age Assistance recipients from 46 to 36. While the increased allowance for those receiving assistance has for the most part offset the reduction in the case load, the reduction in the number of recipients has held down the increased cost which would have resulted from the larger allowance.
Financial Condition of the Town.
For the first time in many years no money was bor- rowed by the town in 1942. At the time of this writ- ing I have not seen the final report of the treasurer for 1942, but from present information available it would appear that the unexpended balances of 1942 would amount to about $4,000.00. There are also several thousand dollars available resulting from unexpended balances of former years.
The funded debt of the town will be wiped out with a final payment of $1,400.00 due this year on the school house note. It is suggested that the voters give consideration to the wisest use of this surplus cash.

Chairman.
