REPORT OF THE DIETARY DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Managers of the Quincy City Hospital: GENTLEMEN :
There have been a few changes in the Dietary Department dur- ing the year 1938.
Mrs. Mollie Michelman, head dietitian, resigned and was re- placed by Miss Laura Wendt on April 1, 1938.
Two new eight-gallon coffee urns replaced the two six-gallon urns in the kitchen. A sixty gallon steam-jacketed kettle and a hundred pound Frialator were added to the kitchen equipment.
The steam table in the serving room was changed to make cafeteria service possible for nurses, office staff and house officers. There was cafeteria service for the three meals until December 1, 1938, after which time the evening meal was served.
For eight weeks during the summer months an opportunity was given to Miss Marjorie Cantoni, a student at Simmons College, to work in our department to observe the dietary department of a general hospital.
The total number of special diets for the year was 6,126, mak- ing a daily average of 17.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURA WENDT, Head Dietitian.

REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
REPORT OF HOUSEKEEPING DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Managers of the Quincy City Hospital: GENTLEMEN :
During the year 1938, two new machines were added to the laundry equipment, namely, a starch boiler and a washing machine, both of which have increased the efficiency of the de- partment. The starch boiler is a definite improvement as it is more adapted to this laundry, and the washing machine has a greater capacity and is a time saver.
A great improvement has been made in the patient's clothes room with the addition of a large encasement window which makes it possible to work by sunlight, without the use of artificial over- head lights. Two similar windows are soon to be added to the linen room.
The employees of the Housekeeping Department attended and greatly enjoyed the annual Christmas party for hospital em- ployees.
Respectfully submitted, CATHERINE LAUDER, Housekeeper.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT
February 28, 1939.
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor of the City of Quincy:
The Department of Public Welfare respectfully submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1938:
At the beginning of 1938 it appeared that our case load on Outside Aid would be considerably greater than for the year 1937, due to business conditions and a lowered quota in W.P.A. employment. This increase materialized and continued until August, when the W.P.A. increased the quota for this city, and permitted us to place practically every employable man at work. The result of this was a reduction in our case load below that of the previous year, and this continued during the last few months of the year. In spite of the increased case load for eight months of the vear, we have been able, through constant re-investigation, to keep the total cost of our Outside Aid, of which aid to aliens still constitutes a great part, at a comparatively low figure. The out- look for 1939 appears favorable, providing general conditions con- tinue to improve, and there is no drastic curtailment of the federal works program.
