I visited stores throughout the City during the year to check pre- packaged meats, vegetables, fruits and goods. Found excellent con- ditions prevailing, and all stores and merchants most cooperative.
All oil turcks were sealed, plus the oil trucks in the neighboring communities of Newbury and salisbury.
All hawkers and peddlers were checked for licenses during the year, especially when parades were held.
Every gascline pump was sealed and conditions were found to be ex- cellent.
I turned into the City Treasurer the sum of $302.90, which was col- lected by me in fees for the year ending December 31, 1962

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council
Gentlemen:
The gross expenditures of the Board of Public Welfare for the year 1962 were $686,557.79. The receipts for 1962 were $577,362.66, leaving an approximate net cost to the City of Newburyport of $109,195.13.
Old Age Assistance has shown another decrease in 1962 over 1961, but Federal and State laws which have been enacted during the past year should show a definite in- crease in 1963 for this category of assistance. This new legislation included decreas in legal contributions, increase in Transportation Allowance, and less rigid controls eligibility and budgetary requirements.
Medical Assistance for the Aged is very difficult to estimate. On the one. hand, if the President's Medical Aid to the Aged program under Social Security passes, there will be a decided decrease in this category. On the other hand, if the passage of this program fails, another upsurge is foreseen in this expenditure.
The Aid to Dependent Children program showed an unexpected decrease in ex- penditures over 1961. However, we predict a definite increase during 1963 in this category of assistance.
Disability Assistance is another category of assistance which will be expected to rise.
General Relief showed a great decrease in the first nine months of 1962, but due to circumstances beyond our control in an unexpected increase in the case load of this category, the overall expenditure for the year fails to portray the true results of the efficient case work being carried on in this Department.
The State has authorized an additional Social Worker and Junior Clerk Stenog- rapher which is in line with the increased Federal and State participation. The present Welfare Compensation Plan, as amended in 1962, provides that all personnel be paid in accordance with their proper increments. Because of the gradual step-rate adjustments being provided over the past several years, we are not faced with the pay- ment of a huge lump-sum increase as are many other cities and towns throughout the Commonwealth.
Renovations are still foreseen for this Department, but the difficulty in ob- taining general bids for this improvement has held up these alterations.
We would like to remind the Mayor, Members of the City Council and the general public that we are striving at all times to render adequate assistance at a minimal cost to the city.
Respectfully submitted, Henry w Jobray, Chairman 1. thay 1 Matthews

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NEWBURYPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY:
During 1962, the library was open 302 days with 96,816 books circulated for home use. This represents a decrease of 2,338 in circulation as compared to total book circulation in 1961. However, a breakdown of these figures is most revealing of the growing emphasis on adult reference work which is part of the stepped-up educational program. Adult non-fiction circulation increased from 42% to 44% in the past year.

In addition, there have been innumerable reference books con- sulted and studied in the library by students of all ages - from elementary grades through college. The work has been challenging in its variety and scope.
The following table is included for purposes of comparing book circulation over a three year period.

The total number of card-holders increased from 13,761 in 1961 to 13,981 at the end of 1962 - a gain of 220 despite the withdrawal of 1,656 expired numbers. The number of juvenile card-holders in- creased by 89, while adult card-holders increased by 131 in 1962. Newbury card-holders, of whom 260 are juvenile, number 807.
The total book stock of the library increased from 102,778 at the end of 1961 to 104,377 at the end of 1962. Books added in 1962 numbered 1,887; 288 books were withdrawn during the same period. The net gain in the book stock was 1,599 volumes. Of these additions 1,447 were purchased from the income of trust funds, 410 were pur- chased from appropriated funds and the remainder received as gifts. Wornout or obsolete books are withdrawn, as time permits, but the needs of students makes it necessary to retain much more of this material. The impact of this space-age educational program, joined with the publishing boom, have combined to make our book shelves very crowded. "Stack storage" and additional book shelves are urgently needed to alleviate this crowded condition, function more efficiently and retain less-used but necessary titles.
