Report of the Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare


The Board organized on February 8, 1933, as follows: F. Eben Brown, Chairman; Charles W. Knowlton, Clerk, Board of Selectmen. F. Eben Brown, Chairman; Claudia I. Schiller, Sec- retary, Board of Public Welfare and Old Age Assistance.


The year was marked by the resignation on March first of William Tallman as Selectman and member of the Board of Pub- lic Welfare, and by the election on June 13th of Thomas W. Whitfield to fill his unexpired term.


George T. Sykes was appointed as Head of the Police De- partment upon the resignation of Walter H. Francis.


Appointments to the Board of Fire Engineers were as fol- lows: E. G. Spooner, Alexander G. Price, Thomas Livesey, to serve as regular fire engineers, Gilbert W. Tuell and Pierce D. Brown as civilian members, to serve without pay.


Fees were established for Common Victuallers, Innholders and Sunday licenses, as well as various licenses for the sale of 3.2 beer, revenue from the same being $1,026.68.


Traffic rules and orders were adopted and the proper signs provided and placed therewith. In cooperation with Elliott and Watrous, contracting firm, the wrecks and scows at the Fair- haven end of the bridge were removed, labor being supplied from Welfare forces and some material by the Highway Depart- inent. This has helped to make the approach to the town more beautiful, an aim long sought.


The problem of welfare relief has been increasingly difficult to handle, with an expenditure for the year of $70,224.87 for Public Welfare alone. Relief was given through increased activ- ity in the textile mills, welfare gardens, Federal Emergency Re- lief Funds, Civilian Conservation Camps and Civil Works Admin- istration projects. Crops of 250 bushels of potatoes and 175 bushels of turnips were raised at the Town Infirmary and several shipments of flour and pork were received for distribution to needy cases. Under the Federal Emergency Relief Act the sum of $10,767.48 was returned to the town. Thirty boys were sent to Civilian Conservation Camps, thereby reducing the expendi- tures by $78.50 per week. Under the Civil Works Administra- tion projects listed below were approved and work begun, em-


14


ploying 188 men and women and reducing the number of cases being aided by 73, or a weekly expenditure of $410.


Re-setting Curb on Green Street.


Hawthorn Street Sewer.


Painting of Infirmary.


Cleaning Sewers.


Cleaning Brush Along Highways.


Making Roads Passable for the Fire Department.


Taking Down Decayed Trees.


Rebuilding Wall at the High School.


Making of Clothing, Bedding, etc.


Listed below you will find expenditures from Public Welfare ar.d Soldiers' Relief exclusive of the cost of boarding of children, and hospital care.


The Selectmen appreciate the cooperation they have received from all departments, and at this time wish to publicly thank them for that cooperation.


Respectfully submitted,


F. EBEN BROWN, CHARLES W. KNOWLTON, THOMAS W. WHITFIELD.


Report of the Infirmary


During the year 1933 there have been a total of eleven in- mates at the Infirmary. Ten were the most accommodated at one time and eight the least, at present, four men and four women.


We have two senile cases, both having constant care and oversight. One of these is unable to go downstairs and is in bed part of the time.


One death has occurred during the year. One case, a woman, paralyzed and entirely helpless, and who has been in our care for four years, needed hospital treatment and was moved to Tewks- bury. One man, with incurable cancer, was taken to the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Hospital in Fall River. Two are now under the care of our physician all the time, one of these now confined to his bed, having constant care,

One woman helps with dishes and dusting, and another helps with light work, such as peeling vegetables. One man does light chores around the barn. No one takes care of his own room.


The cupola on the house was repaired with new window- frames, with zinc troughs, and four windows were put on pulleys, so they could be opened from the floor. This lets a circulation of air through the attic enough to lessen the risk of fire. New flooring, part of which is cement, and cement mangers, have been put in the barn, and the plan of the barn has been changed to conform with the state requirements for tuberculin tested cows. Also the windows necessary to repair in the attic and cellar of the house were taken care of and fitted with screens. Some of these windows had never been screened before.


This year we gave the use of a good-sized piece of land to the Outside Welfare Department, on which they raised potatoes and turnips, but that did not prevent us from raising plenty of vegetables for our own use.


One man is employed for the care of the barn, garden, lawn and furnace. He also helps with the care of the sick and in bathing the aged men. This man has been with "The Home" for six years, with the exception of a leave of absence when work- ing as orderly in a hospital. A woman is employed in the kitchen to do the cooking, with the care of the dining-rooms and trays. She also helps with the laundry. The maid has been with "The Home" nine years. She cares for the sick, takes care of the rooms, does the laundry and has been willing to help paint walls and floors, when the number of inmates is few.


We have spoken, in previous reports, of the loyalty of our help, and wish to say that they are still very loyal and faithful to "The Home".


A turkey dinner was enjoyed at both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but were unable to give presents as we usually do, because the money planned for this use was expended towards the painting of the buildings under the C. W .A. We decorated the house with colored lights, lighted trees at Christmas and received honorable mention in "The Star" even though we had not en- tered the contest. This pleased our people very much.


The King's Daughters sent each one a gift, with candy and fruit, as did also the Ladies' Aid of the Centre Methodist Church. Also, one of our Selectmen gave a big box of candy to help spread the cheer.


Respectfully submitted,


EDITH ELDRIDGE, Matron,
