At 3 P.M., on inquiry at the Information Desk, the relatives of patients may talk with the physician in charge.
Patients may be visited by clergymen of their selection, and, so far as possible, the hospital will grant the performance of any desired religious rites.
PRIVATE NURSE
Arrangements for special nurses should be made through the Admitting Office upon consultation and advice of the attending physician. The salary of the special nurse is paid directly to her by the patient or relatives. The hospital makes a charge of $.50 a day for her board. Quincy City Hospital graduates, when avail- able, are given preference.
Miscellaneous Information TELEPHONES
There are telephone connections in all private rooms. Instru- ments may be installed with the permission of the attending phy- sician. There is an extra charge for this service.
RADIOS
In order to promote quietness for the patients in the hospital, only ear phones and magic ears are allowed for use in the hospital. These can be obtained at a nominal fee from the Admitting Office.

REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT
HON. THOMAS S. BURGIN, Mayor of the City of Quincy:
The Department of Public Welfare respectfully submits the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1939:
General Relief
During 1939 the many benefits under the Federal Social Security Act have resulted in a savings in the various categories of relief in this department. We have also found that the payments by the State on Unemployment Insurance have eliminated the need for aid to persons temporarily unemployed in a great many instances.
Industrial conditions have improved to a certain extent during the past year, and at the present time in Quincy, are better than during the past few years. The number of persons employed on the W. P. A. is approximately the same as last year, therefore this de- partment felt no great change. However, we were very materially affected by the eighteen-months ruling which necessitated aid be- ing granted to many persons laid off on the W. P. A. until their reinstatement at the termination of the thirty-day period. During the past year this department has continued to act as certifying agent for the W. P. A. and the C. C. C.
By having persons work for aid furnished to them and their fam- ilies, this department has furnished the city with 70,378 work hours in the past year.
Because of better economic conditions and certain defined policies which we put into effect, the expenditures for 1939 were $83,332.45 less than in 1938. I hope to continue these policies.
City Infirmary
In November, 1938 Mrs. Anna Vaughn who had been superin- tendent of the infirmary for a great many years, retired. In March, 1939, Mr. William Taylor was appointed and is now serving in the capacity of superintendent. We have continued to improve the in- firmary which is now well equipped and in good repair. We have endeavored during the year to make the infirmary as comfortable as possible for the occupants.
Clinic and Dispensary
Quarters have been provided for both the clinic and dispensary in the Welfare Offices. The clinic is conducted by our city physicians three times weekly, and upon prescription medicines and medical supplies are furnished by our dispensary. We have found that this arrangement has resulted in a considerable reduction in the expense of maintaining this service.
Old Age Assistance
Since September, 1936 when the age of eligibility for Old Age Assistance was reduced from seventy to sixty-five years, the aver- age increase in our case load has been about two hundred and fifty
244
CITY OF QUINCY
cases per year. However, during 1939 the case load increased from 983 to 1027, an increase of only 45 cases. We expect that unless the age of eligibility is further reduced, the normal number of new applicants should not be greater than during 1939. The death toll has been great during the past year in our early Old Age cases, whose ages ranged from the late 70's to the early 80's, who had received this type of assistance from its inception in 1931.
On January 1, 1940 the Old Age Pensions and Survivors Insur- ance under the Social Security Act became effective. This act will ultimately tend to reduce the number on Old Age Assistance, but at the present time no change has been felt as eligibility for the benefits under this Act depends on contributions during 1937-38-39 while in covered employment. Apparently we have not many per- sons available for these benefits because we have not noticed any change in the number of persons now receiving Old Age Assistance or the number of new applicants. Under the Act, a person, upon reaching the age of sixty-five years, can continue working until he chooses to take the benefits of the pension under the new amend- ment.
During the past year the Old Age Assistance Board has had re- investigated and re-checked, practically every case and made ad- justments, keeping in mind the comfort of the person being as- sisted. This has resulted in a substantial reduction of the amount being granted in many cases.
In order to provide quarters for the increased personnel in the Old Age Assistance Office, but more for the convenience of the persons receiving Old Age Assistance. the office was removed from Saville Row to 1372 Hancock Street. Quincy.
Aid to Dependent Children
Because of a change in the Social Security Act regarding Aid to Dependent Children the State law was amended on August 12, 1939, to include in this form of aid children between the ages of sixteen and eighteen who are regularly attending school. This amendment made it necessary to continue for an additional two years cases which ordinarily would have been closed when the youngest child became sixteen. It also increased the cost per case by the addition of this new age group to cases already receiving aid, and widened the scope of the Aid to Dependent Children law by the admission of new cases which formerly would not have been eligible. In 1939 there was an increase of twenty-three cases over the previous year due to the foregoing changes, and it is expected that there will be a further increase in the number of cases receiving this type of aid in 1940.
We again wish to express our appreciation of the continued co- operation manifested during the past year by the various depart- ments and organizations throughout the community.
For the details of expenditures. reference is made to report of the Auditor of Accounts.
Respectfully submitted,
ANTHONY J. VENNA, Commissioner of Public Welfare.

CONCLUSION
As the Inspector's branch of the Department now has a Captain in charge of all investigations received by me, I believe the best interests to bring about more efficiency in numerous cases involv- ing statements taken from defendants, also witnesses in numerous important cases, require the services of a male stenographer, pre- ferably a member of the Department.
