Report of Selectmen, Board of Public Welfare and Old Age Assistance
To the Citizens of the Town of Fairhaven:
The Board organized on February 4th., 1936 as follows:
Board of Selectmen: F. Eben Brown, Chairman; Charles W. Knowlton, Clerk; Thomas W. Whitfield.
Board of Public Welfare: F. Eben Brown, Chairman; Miss Claudia I. Schiller, Secretary.
By vote of the Special Town Meeting of April 24, 1936, and with the approval of the Emergency Finance Committee, the sum of $36,000 was borrowed from the Commonwealth under Chapter 49 of the Acts of 1933 to relieve the taxpayers of the burden occasioned by the various forms of relief.
Since 1933 a total of $142,000 has been borrowed against tax titles held by the town and a total of $65,020.39 paid the Com- monwealth with receipts of $6,462.85 on hand at the close of business December 31, 1936. One piece of property, to which the town held title, was sold for $1,650.
The sum of $20,000. was borrowed under Chapter 80, Acts of 1936, by vote of Special Town Meeting of June 12, 1936, to sup- plement appropriation in tax levy for the town's contributory share for Emergency Relief. Your attention is called to financial report of expenditures of this account found under "Payments" and to report of Mr. Edward W. Sanders, Sponsor's Agent, of work accomplished.
A decision in favor of the Selectmen was rendered by the Massachusetts Supreme Court in suit to determine the right of the Selectmen to lease Union Wharf. This suit cost the town the sum of $624.25.
Liquor licenses, bringing a revenue of $3,272., were granted as follows:
Common Victualler Six
Club
Two
Package Store
Four
Druggists
One
Wines & Malt Beverages

Public Welfare Expenditures in 1936 were $64,980.15 or $6,- 078.18 less than in 1935. This was due to practically steady work under W.P.A. and to increased activity in private industry.
The past year has been marked by many changes in the ad- ministration of Old Age Assistance under the Social Security Act, which became operative September first.
In accordance with instructions from the Department of Old Age Assistance, that a disinterested citizen be appointed to serve on the local Board, Mrs. Eliza C. Pease was approached and con- sented to serve in cases of appeal.
The reduction of the age limit from 70 to 65 years has doubled the case load. Approximately one-sixth of the total cost of all cases of $30.00 or less is borne by the town, one half .by the Federal Government and two-thirds of the remainder by the Com- monwealth. Under the existing State law, however, reimburse- ments from the Commonwealth go directly to the general fund, rather than to reduce the cost of Old Age Assistance, and with these facts in mind the Board anticipates the necessity of an ap- propriation of at least $25,000. for 1937.
For detailed accounts of Public Welfare and Old Age Assist- ance we refer you to reports which follow.
The Board wishes to thank the officials of the various town departments and the Community Nurses for valuable assistance during the year.
A report of the financial transactions of the town is herewith respectfully submitted for your attention.

CHARLES W. KNOWLTON,
THOMAS W. WHITFIELD,
