BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To His Honor the Mayor & Members of the City Council
Gentlemen:
The fiscal year 1958 showed many changes in the local Board of Public Welfare. Mr. James F. Creeden retired as Agent, at the age of 74, after 20 years of faithful and diligent service to the City of Newburyport.
During the past year, we combined the Welfare Department offices on the main floor of City Hall in the former Public Health and Assessors' offices. We are now claiming office rental both from the State and Federal Government for the first time, which we feel will prove quite beneficial financially on an administrative basis. This new arrangement, which adds considerably to a more effective operation of the Department, has been accomplished through the joint efforts of the Mayor and District Director of the State Department of Public Welfare, and the cost of alterations and new equipment will be claimed for reimbursement.
As usual, the entire costs of the Welfare Program showed an increase for the year 1958. The caseload in the Old Age Assistance category was decreased from 387 in December 1957 to 378 in December 1958. The Aid to Dependent Children case- load was increased in the same period from 119 children to 125 children. The Disability Assistance Program and General Relief Program remained about the same.
We were recently notified by the State Department of Public Welfare that the cost of Nursing Home care has been increased from $5.75 to $6.50 daily. On the overall basis, we have figured that this will amount to an increase of $12,000. for the year 1959.
The cost of hospitalization, locally, has also been increased from $19.16 to $21.00 per diem rate. Other hospitals throughout the State have been increased accordingly. However, there is no way we can control hospital costs and we have no idea as to how mich of an increase this item will amount to. We have been working throughout the year with all local physicians and the entire staff of the Anna Jaques Hospital on a very co-operative basis, and we feel that without this mutual association the costs would be prohibitive.
At the request of the State Department of Public Welfare, we have added a Social worker and a Medical Consultant to our staff, which we also feel will con- tribute to the efficiency of the entire Welfare Department.
We would like to add that the entire staff and the Board are doing all in their power to curb the tremendous costs of the Welfare Programs.
Respectfully submitted, Henry a Jabray anthony & Matthews Domen R.Eck

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Directors of the Newburyport Public Library :
During the year 1958, the library was open two hundred and ninety- four days with a total of 87,025 books circulated for home use. This is a decrease of 4, 953 over the total book circulation in 1957. The de- crease may be attributed to the closing of the Belleville Branch Library in May, to the closing of the permanent Children's Room for repairs, and to the closing of the library for several days during the installation of the new heating system.
The following table is included for purposes of comparison of 1957 and 1958 circulation:
