Purchase 3 miles on cable for the renewing of old cable on Police Signal.
14
We receive numerous requests to remove snow and ice from different property owners. Should any damage result if we were doing this work the fire department would be liable for what damage done. Therefore we cannot do it.
15
I request that the permanent firemen be put on the 72 hour working week. At present time they work 84 hours. This can be done without any additional men.
16
In conclusion I wish to thank the Mayor, Members of the City Council and various other department heads, also all friends and others for their assistance and fine co- operation.
The Members of the department have my commendation and sincere thanks for their efficient and faithful manner in which they performed their duty. In closing, although a little late, I wish all a bright, happy, and prosperous New Year.
Respectfully submitted,
C. FRANK CREEDEN, Chief.

SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Report of Sealer of Weights and Measurers
This report covers the activities of the deaprtment for the year. There has been no noticeable increase in the number of the various weighing and measuring devices in use over previous years. The tendency has been to eliminate rather than increase the num- ber of such apparatus.
The department had no prosecutions nor occasion to call attention to any sharp prac- tices.
Recommendations
We would recommend the purchase of a computing scale for use in the office. This scale would be available for use of the public at all times. Any person aggrieved could then weigh their own packages and in case of weight deficiency make out a complaint. If a scale were available for such use the public would be better served and less apt to be short weighted either intentionally or accidentally. The merchant aware of the fact that packages could and would be re-weighted would be more alert and careful of all weighings.
In these days of dollar butter and meats, one ounce or a fraction thereof, it is vitally important that the customer obtain every fraction of an ounce for which he pays.
More funds should be available for transportation and operating. Few weighings in transit are made because of this lack. Twenty dollar coal means one cent a pound, a 50 lb. deficiency a half dollar. Similarly with oil-meter reading and delivery slip supervision at the time of delivery is imperative.
Packaged goods and wrapped articles need the constant supervision that is not now provided.
A campaign of publicity should be inaugurated to acquaint the public with aims and purpose of this particular municipal function. During 1947, the department was not once called upon to make a reweighing of any purchased article, a tribute to the merchants or a lack of appreciation of the primary function of this office.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Report of Board of Public Welfare
January 31, 1948.
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council:
The report of the Board of Public Welfare for the year 1947 shows a substantial in- crease in cost of operating over the year 1946.
This increase is not due to any great increase in case load, but is due to the increased cost of the necessities provided through this Department.
In the Aid to Dependent Children category, while the increase in case load was only 10%, the increase in operating costs was 55%. In this type of aid, the budget is com- piled by the State Department of Public Welfare and is mandatory on the local depart- ment to comply with. The duty of the local Department is to pass on eligibility and to see that the requirements of the State budget are provided. Both State and Federal contribute to the cost of this type of relief. Gross Cost $26,711.51-Net Cost $10,092.51.
In outdoor relief that is dispensed at the Welfare Office, the increase in case load was, 30% and the increase in operating costs 60%. There is some reimbursement from the State in this category for unsettled cases and from other cities and towns where there is an acknowledged place of settlement, but for the most part, they are Newburyport settled and the full cost of their care is an obligation of the Department. Gross Cost $21,734.86-Net cost $16,616.06.
The cost of operating the William D. Horton Home shows only a slight increase which is accounted for by the necessity of rewiring the Home to comply with underwriters' requirements and to avoid possibilities of fire from defective wiring, also other replace- ments and repairs of a permanent nature which should last for many years without the necessity of repairing or renewing.
A study of the detailed report will show that the farm produces a substantial part of its own needs-Gross cost $12,251.53-Net cost $9,816.53.
The Board of Public Welfare appreciates the co-operation it has received in carrying on the work of the Department.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD F. MURPHY, RICHARD B. LITTLE,
