All of our ingenuity has been called upon to appease the reading demands of the patients and staff this year. because of the drastic cut in the book budget which the Thomas Crane Public Library suffered in 1942. Because we have had to deny our book stock of many new popular and desired books, we have tried to fill in with old favorites and popular books of past years.
Our books in foreign languages are as much in demand now as ever. It is most pleasing to us to see the happiness brought to

REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
our non-English reading public when they discover they can bor- row a book in their mother tongue.
We realize the fact that the hospital personnel has been carrying a greatly. increased load in the past year, and we appre- ciate their assistance to us in seeing that our books are returned when patients are being discharged. We hope that, in the future, they will be able to continue this aid to us, because it is only in this way that we can get back many of our books, and so cut down on our book losses.
We desire to express to the administration and the staff our appreciation of their continued cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, CATHERINE M. ZOTTOLI, Hospital Librarian Thomas Crane Public Library

REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT
HON. CHARLES A. Ross, Mayor of the City of Quincy:
The Department of Public Welfare respectfully submits the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1942: General Relief
Employment conditions have improved steadily during 1942 and with the increased opportunities for work our General Relief case load has declined. As a result, our Social Workers have been able to keep in closer touch with the individual families on aid and spend more time in the investigation of the needs of new appli- cants. The number of new applicants has not fallen off in pro- portion due principally to the wage earners joining the armed forces, physical disabilities through accidents and illness, and criminal abandonment of families. We have been able to avoid expense in many of these situations by referring such applicants to the courts, military relief agencies and private social organiza- tions.
Including both General Relief and Hospital aid, we received 188 notices from the State and other cities and towns, of which we acknowledged responsibility for 102 and denied 86. These cases required a visit both for the financial status and a settlement his- tory so we could determine what action to take. We sent 393 legal notices to the State and other cities and towns to hold them re- sponsible for either aid or hospitalization rendered here, of which 355 were acknowledged and 38 denied. In the course of the year several cases were referred to us to assume the charges for care in the larger private hospitals, where the Quincy City Hospital cannot give the care required. All have been investigated for the family's financial ability to pay. Much work was done on automo- bile accident and workmen's compensation cases with the view of seeing that the hospital bills were paid out of the insurance set- tlements.
Our personnel has been further reduced in 1942. Mr. Vincent McCabe, one of our Social Workers, joined the U. S. Army in June and has been replaced by a military substitute. Two departmental cars and one truck have been stored for the duration.
The C. C. C. program terminated during the year and the W. P. A. is due to close entirely by June 1943. We hope that some of these workers will be able to obtain private employment, but many will undoubtedly be obliged to seek assistance.
The Federal Stamp Plan has been of great assistance to our low-income families during the year, but will probably be termin- ated during the coming year. The manager of this office resigned in September and has been replaced by Mr. D. Francis Sweeney, assisted by Mrs. Eva L. Whittier. During the year the total num- ber of persons who participated was 17,782 with a total of $77,371.00 worth of stamps sold.
152
CITY OF QUINCY
We have continued the Federal Surplus Commodities program as far as clothing and milk are concerned. These items to a value of $23,067.58 have been distributed during the year.
Investigations of claims of dependency for our three local Se- lective Service Boards have continued to be numerous. 399 investi- gations have been made for the three Draft Boards during 1942. In connection with the Civilian Defense Program, Commissioner Venna was appointed Civilian War Assistance Officer in this City by Commissioner Arthur G. Rotch, of the State Department of Public Welfare. In addition he replaced Mr. Floyd Folmsbee, as Chairman of the Social Service Committee in the Quincy Defense Council, as Mr. Folmsbee was elevated to Vice-Chairman of the Council.
Our truck and Departmental Chauffeur have been kept busy dur- ing the year. There were 72 pick-ups and deliveries of furniture, 147 moving jobs and 60 pick-ups of unsawed wood. In addition there were 51 patients transferred to and from hospitals, con- valescent homes and other institutions. The truck was also used for other miscellaneous work such as transportation of surplus clothing, radios for Army use, etc.
Clinic and Dispensary
Our City Pharmacist, Romulus De Nicola, was another member of our Department to join the armed forces during the year. For- tunately we have been able to continue the operation of our clinic and dispensary through the cooperation of our City Physician and the Superintendent of our City Home, a registered pharmacist. City Infirmary
Our City Infirmary has cared for a slightly lower weekly aver- age of inmates during 1942 than in 1941. During the year we enlarged our garden area and had fine success in providing vege- tables for our own use, the labor being furnished entirely by the inmates. The installation of the fire alarm system started last year, should be completed, and the building needs painting badly. Man hours of outside welfare has dropped to 3,000 during the year. Old Age Assistance
During 1942 the Old Age case-load has been reduced from 1,122 to 977 as of January 1, 1943. This reduction, in many cases, is due to the fact that Quincy is a defense area and children, employed in war-work with increased earning power, are now in position to care partially or wholly for their aged parents.
On May 1st of the past year, Chapter 729, Acts of 1941, became effective, setting up a State-wide budgetary system, against which the needs of every individual receiving Old Age Assistance must be measured. This called for an intensive review of all active Old Age cases, to determine the amount necessary for each individual case. Applicants living alone without resources, must receive a minimum of $40.00 per month. Couples without resources have also received an increase, the minimum being $65.00 per month.
The State Department has also clarified the treatment accorded all mental cases discharged "on visit" to their homes, allowing the Old Age Department to aid these cases at once, instead of the customary waiting period of one year.
153
REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT
Another ruling promulgated by the State Department deals with the confidential nature of all information in the Old Age Assist- asce files, and penalizes the divulging of any information except to those agencies specified by law.
Aid to Dependent Children
There were 132 active A. D. C. cases on January 1, 1942. The State Department submitted a revised budget in February of 1942. This went partly into effect in May and June. In October, we were forced to grant the maximum allowance in all of our cases. This made an increase of $1,000 per month for the total expense. The State Department of Public Welfare, on January 12, 1943, again suggested that we increase the A. D. C. amounts, and this will re- present about $1,200 more per month. This is due to the increase of about 15% in the cost of living.
In November of 1942, the Fore River and Hingham Shipyards lowered the age requirements for boys to enter their apprentice- ship division. For this reason, the case load was lowered. The cases where the military service had inducted men in March of 1942, and where the United States Army allotments were insuf- ficient, were felt during the year, but not to any great extent. If the 18 year old sons who are now fully supporting the family are drafted shortly, we can anticipate their cases to be reopened.
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 or Accounts.
Respectfully submitted,
ANTHONY J. VENNA, Commissioner of Public Welfare.

CONCLUSIONS
Death entered the ranks of the Department during the year with the loss of Patrolman Jerome P. Connelly. Officer Connelly covered the Squantum day route. He was stricken with sickness and died at the Quincy Hospital on December 10, 1942. Patrolman Connelly was a very good and faithful officer and his death was an extreme loss to the Department.
Retired Lieutenant Jeremiah Hinchon died April 4, 1942, also Retired Patrolman Michael Donovan died on April 14, 1942.
During the latter part of the year, November 14, 1942, Acting Captain William Ferrazzi was appointed Captain.
Patrolmen Joseph F. Hughes, Charles D. Ferrazzi and Joseph P. Flaherty were appointed Sergeants on January 29, 1942. Patrol- man John E. Wuerth was appointed Sergeant on June 1, 1942. Patrolman Frank W. Vallier was appointed Acting Sergeant on June 4, 1942.
Ralph Hatfield and Leighton P. Rogers were appointed as regular patrolmen on July 7, 1942.
Sergeant Charles O. Hinchon was appointed Lieutenant on May 15, 1942.
Ralph T. Moreau and Frederick J. DeCoste were appointed as Military Substitutes on August 6, 1942.
164
CITY OF QUINCY
The following officers were appointed as Reserve Men on No- vember 10, 1942: Joseph W. Nichol, Walter W. Berrini, James W. Fay, William W. Muir, Francis J. McNamara and John Malvesti.
I recommend 15 men to be added to the Department by reason of the increased amount of traffic due to the Fore River Shipbuild- ing Company war contracts, as well as the new shipyard at Hingham which calls for extra officers on traffic duty, both on cycle as well as on foot. To persons not familiar with Police De- partment duties, there is little chance for them to pass fair judg- ment as to the justification of our claim for additional officers. I can only urge the necessity of the men, believing that the last half detail should be of the same numerical strength as the first half.
I believe that the life of any automobile in the Police Depart- ment used continually as Radio Cars is one year and recommend the replacement of eight autos used in that line of work.
In conclusion I wish to thank Mayor Ross, the City Council, the heads of the various City Departments for their assistance given me. I am also grateful to the District Attorney and the members of his staff, to the Justices of the Court, the Probation Officer and members of his staff, to the Clerk of the Court and his office staff for their consideration and advice.
To all members of the Department who have worked to reach and maintain a high standard of efficiency, I am sincerely thank- ful and to assure my appreciation that our best efforts to merit their confidence in the future will be given.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. AVERY, Chief of Police.
