REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
THE A. C. MARIE CURRIER FUND
Many mothers with dependent children have good reason to remem- ber the name of A. C. Marie Currier with thankful hearts. The income from the Currier Fund, so-called, provided shoes and rubbers for scores of children who would otherwise have been forced to remain home from school. Clothing, including stockings and underwear, were also bought from the fund, when needed, and a bolt of outing flannel which was made up into children's nightgowns through the kindness of the ladies of the Congregational Church, proved a wise and much appreciated investment.
The Currier Fund Christmas dinners have become an institution in Melrose and need only be mentioned here to remind the reader that the Christmas of 1922 found one hundred and ten families the happier for a generous basket, dispensed as usual through the efficiency of Mrs. Adaline G. Reed.
The clothing for the children of the worthy poor consisted of the following :-
247 prs. shoes
3 overcoats
117 prs. rubbers
3 cap and scarf sets
206 prs. hose
3 prs. pants
48 prs. gloves
1 boy's suit
40 suits underwear
1 cap
28 nightgowns
4 prs. overalls
4 rompers
MOTHERS' AID
There has been a decrease in cost in cases under the Mothers' Aid Act, through a variety of causes; becoming self-supporting, age limit of children, marriage and removal account for most of it, but some others, by their own acts, rendered themselves ineligible under this law, and reverted to Temporary Aid.
The excellent condition of the families of mothers with dependent children receiving aid under the provisions of the Mothers' Aid law war- rants a fairly liberal expenditure, in that the future welfare of these children is assured. Through adequate aid and careful oversight and direction, these families get along very well, the health of the children comparing favorably with that of the average child. In fact, we believe that some of these families are better off than before they were eligible for this aid, as they now have regular weekly income and can plan ac- cordingly. The standard we seek to maintain is such that it rates about the same as the average workingman with a family dependent
110
CITY OF MELROSE
upon him is able to maintain. We supply the great bulk of needs, but we do believe in fixing our allowance of a case, to allow a little leeway in order that the incentive to help oneself will not be destroyed.
OUTSIDE RELIEF
We have endeavored to provide for our cases properly and at the same time with as conservative a judgment as possible. We feel that the poor of our city are being provided for adequately and that while such is the case we are careful at all times to safeguard the interests of the people upon whom the burden of taxation must fall. We do not want to maintain our dependent families at a better standard of living than that which the workingman is able to provide for his own family, for the latter is one of the taxpayers who must contribute his share, directly or indirectly, to the public treasury from which the dependent families must be supported. In order to properly care for the needs of the poor, it is necessary that conditions in each family be studied and treated individually, and the amount of aid determined on the merits of the case; as no two cases are alike, no specified amount can be de- cided upon in advance for certain cases.
The members of the Board invite the co-operation of all citizens who are willing to contribute money, food, clothing or furniture for families in need, and especially in aid of families, who, in time of sick- ness or misfortune, may, by private relief, be prevented from becoming public charges.
We would express our appreciation for the work and services ren- dered by the City Physician in co-operation with this Board. The Melrose Hospital has also rendered valuable assistance to our outside poor during the past year.
In presenting this report for 1922, we wish to express our appre- ciation for the courtesy of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
