ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN OF BERKLEY FOR 1946
We are pleased to report the Town continues in a good financial condition.
At the last Annual Town Meeting the Town voted to transfer $5,000.00 from Surplus Funds for construction work on Padelford Street on an estimate of 32.000.00. At a later date the estimate was increased to $42,000.00 and it became necessary to provide more funds for this work. The Board of Selectmen contacted the Department of Public Works and requested an increase in the State's allotment. We are pleased to report the Commissioners voted to increase the State's allot- ment from $16,000.00 to $21,000.00 on condition the Town would provide an additional sum of $5,000.00 and this was provided by vote of the Town at a Special Town Meeting. The additional $5,000.00 was also voted from Surplus Funds.
The preliminary work has been done on this project and the citizens may expect completion of this project at an early date, with a very considerable improvement in our highway system.
We have contacted the District Office of Public Works in respect to getting Plain Street finished from Chapter 81 Funds in conjunction with the work on Padelford Street by the con- tractor and we are of the opinion that if this work is done at this time by the contracting company, a considerable saving in cost will result.
We are anxious to do all we can to keep expenditures down and we respectfully request that all persons interested will make a special effort to attend the coming business meet-
ing of the Town and will express their views in regard to the appropriations. At this coming meeting you will be asked to provide a sum of money for certain fire equipment through a Volunteer Fire Department which has been organized in the Town and we trust the voters will act favorably on this ques- tion.

ANNUAL REPORT
At this time we wish to express our appreciation for the assistance and cooperation of the Finance Committee and all other Town officials who have aided the Board in the conduct of the Town's business.
Respectfully submitted,

Selectmen
SUPERVISOR'S REPORT
In submitting my report as Supervisor for the year 1946, it is my desire to submit facts that will no doubt be of interest to the citizens of the Town.
There has been a noticable increase in two categories of relief ; namely, Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children, the net increase being five cases of Old Age Assist- ance and three cases of Aid to Dependent Children.
Total cash payments for the year 1946 has been $19,- 656.62, an increase of $3,123.79 for Old Age Assistance due to the increase in the case load and also to the increase allowed by the Department of Public Welfare to offset the increased food prices. There have been three new cases of aid to de- pendent Children in the last quarter of 1946 and total cash payments were $1,076.67.
The total cost of Public Welfare for the year was $1,- 539.28 and at the present time we have no town cases receiving assistance.
Relative to administration, in all three categories the total cost has been $537.51.
For the coming year it will be necessary to appropriate the sum of $14,000.00 for Old Age Assistance and $3,000.00 for Aid to Dependent Children. The reasons for the increase will be explained at the Business Meeting of the Town.
I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation and assistance you as Members of the Board have given me, to the Town Treasurer and to Miss Bernice Andrews, Clerk of the Board, for their help in carrying out the duties of this office.
Respectfully submitted, ALBERT BINDON,
Supervisor
