THE PLANNING BOARD


James E. Lee, Director


The Planning Board, assisted by the staff of the Department of Planning, maintained its active program of planning advisory and administrative service throughout 1961.


In the course of the year the Planning Board held 21 meetings, 3 field trips, and 17 public hearings. Activities of the Planning Board and the Planning Department staff included processing of 21 Offers for City-Owned Land; study and recommendations on 18 Street Acceptances and 3 Street Abandonments; Rezoning and Subdivision Applications; and the endorsement of 56 division plans not requiring the approval of the Planning Board.


The work of the Department of Planning included review and progress evaluation of the City's comprehensive planning programs, the completion of the basic portion of the City's economic report, a study of the Old Colony transportation problem, a study of the Capen's Bridge interchange and its effect on Quincy's traffic circulation. Also completed was a proposed library site study, a proposed fire station site study, and numerous other studies of individual problems affecting the City's development.


PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT


Kenneth Gardner, Director


On January 1, 1961 the new salary plan, passed on December 27, 1960 by the City Council, became effective. The placement of each of approximately 1800 employees to their correct step on this plan was a slow and tedious task. Whereas the previous salary plan provided salary ranges over periods of four, five and six years for more than 150 job classifications, the new plan standard- ized all step rate salaries at a five-year level. A Salary Appeals Board, Councillor David S. McIntosh, Chairman,, was set up and approximately 200 appeals were heard between May 25, 1961 and December 7, 1961. Case histories for these appeals were prepared for the Board by the Personnel Department - the Personnel Director attending these meetings in an advisory capacity. The Board's recom- mendations were then forwarded to the Mayor for his consideration.


During the year 231 Classified Civil Service Labor Applications were filed - 145 Male and 86 Female. These applications included the positions of Laborer, Hospital House and Kitchen Worker, School Cafeteria Helper, Lunch Room Matron, etc.


As of December 31, 1961 the number of permanent and temporary employees in all departments of the City excluding the school amounted to 1908.


To fill vacancies under the Classified Official Civil Service in the various departments through- out the City, 56 examinations were held during the year.


Due to deaths, retirements and promotions within the Police and Fire Departments, the fol- lowing were certified, through the Personnel Department, for appointment:


Police Department - 15 Patrolmen; average age, 28 years


Fire Department - 6 Firefighters; average age, 31 years


Employment figures for the City of Quincy including permanent, temporary and seasonal employees for all departments, excepting the School Department, totaled 1365 employed and 1195 terminated. The following is a breakdown, by months:

THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT


Anthony J. Venna, Commissioner


MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE AGED


This division of the Department of Public Welfare came into being October 1960 and the first full year of this type of assistance was 1961. During the year many of the cases on the Old Age Assistance Program were transferred to this category. This program also cared for many hospital cases. The first full year of this program saw the expenditure of $577,799.50. On December 31, 1961 this division had a case load of 293. In all probability this case load will increase in 1962 and it is anticipated that in this year we will spend more than $600,000.00. The U. S. Government pays for one half of all of the medical assistance rendered in this category. The Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts contributes two thirds of the balance after Federal payments.


OLD AGE ASSISTANCE


Because of the transfer of cases from this program to the Medical Assistance Division, there will be a drop in cases. We had 771 cases on Old Age Assistance on December 31, 1961, compared to 802 cases at the end of 1960. Although this program should gradually decline in case load, this will not necessarily result in a decrease in cost because of the tremendous increases in service charges by hospitals, nursing homes, etc. During the year nursing home rates were increased from $5.50 to $6.60 per day and rates on rest homes increased from $25.00 per week to $4.25 per day. In 1961 the Commonwealth saw fit to wipe out the citizenship requirement for Old Age Assistance and eliminated the extra residence requirement for non-citizens. Also in 1961 the Federal Govern- ment increased the Federal Grant on Old Age Assistance from $47.50 to $49.00 and then to $49.80 per month. This year recipients of Old Age Assistance were permitted to purchase drugs in any store of their choice. Total expenditures for the year in this division amounted to $940,025.89.


AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN


The Commonwealth in 1961 saw fit to liberalize the eligibility requirements for Aid to Depend- ent Children so that now the time element as to desertion, separation, divorce, duration of need no longer exist. Also in 1961 this program was opened up to families where the bread winner is un- employed. On December 31, 1961 this program was caring for 212 cases which involves a total of 613 eligible recipients (178 grantee-relatives and 435 dependent children) as compared to 158 cases a year previous involving 457 eligible recipients (127 grantee-relatives and 330 dependent children.) In 1960 we spent approximately $272,000 for assistance while in 1961 we spent approximately $317,000. or an increase in aid payments of 14%. This figure will also go higher because of all the social problems coming to our doors and also because of the liberalization of the eligibility re- quirements.


DISABILITY ASSISTANCE


Although our caseload decreased from 152 cases on December 31, 1960 to 109 cases at the end of 1961, our expenditures increased from $156,260.60 in 1960 to $175,976.62 in 1961. This was due, in part, to increased hospital and nursing home costs, etc. In 1961 a new ruling was issued relative to Disability Assistance, whereby a recipient of this type of assistance, upon reaching the age of 65, if such person is otherwise eligible, he must be transferred to the Old Age Assistance Division. During 1961 the Federal Government increased its reimbursement from $41.50 to $42.30 per eligible recipient. In many of the cases presented to this Department for assistance in becoming self-sup- porting, it has been necessary to undertake a completely new, medically-objective evaluation, together with a complete history in order to do justice to the patient's complaints. This has often resulted in disclosure of sound medical reasons for ill health which, in many instances, is susceptible to reversibility by treatment.


GENERAL RELIEF


This program covers persons in need of temporary aid and medical care, but who are not eligible for other categories. Some of these cases are for short term and others remain on the rolls for long periods. During the year two firms in the city went on strike and the department was called upon to help individuals who were in need. Our caseload decreased from 59 on December 31, 1960 to 38 on December 31, 1961 and our expenditures decreased from $85,870.08 in 1960 to $70,547.97 in 1961.


The General Relief division continues to care for children in special schools as recommended by the courts. These are children who because of home conditions cannot adjust themselves in the

community or in public schools, but who do wonderful work under specialized supervision in private schools. This type of service is a preventative of juvenile delinquency. To deal with these problems we must stand with other responsible public officials and departments to help correct society's delinquencies in the matter of environmental needs.


There were 701 notices processed through the settlement office on General Relief cases in 1961


CITY HOME


The City Home remains a refuge for persons in need of supervised care in addition to the elderly recipients who are in need of domicilary care on a fairly permanent basis. Occasionally, homeless families were given temporary shelter. Lunch is also served to those that are on the work relief program. The average number of residents at the City Home is 17. The Capacity allowed by the State Department of Public Health is 25. Our expenditures increased from $11,641.73 in 1960 to $12,627.74 in 1961.


The Welfare Department dispenses Surplus Commodities at the City Home on the second Wednesday of each month. All persons on the various programs, plus those in low income groups, are eligible for these commodities. It is estimated that $25,000.00 of these goods were disbursed to the needy cases in 1961, at a cost of $665.25 to the Department of Public Welfare. 7,197 persons participated in this program.


MEDICAL ADVISOR


Dr. William R. Helfrich continues as medical advisor for the Department of Public Welfare. He is available to the agency for advice and assistance in the medical care program for the formula- tion of policies and procedures, to control the quantity and quality of medical care and to advise on individual, difficult medical problems.


Our staff conducts weekly meetings and more frequently when necessary in order to solve our medical problems.


Also, it is the function of the local medical advisor to act as a liaison officer between the local Public Welfare Department and the professional societies and organizations which represent the medical and related agencies.


POLICE OFFICER


Detective Charles R. Griffin still performs a very valuable service to the Department and the citizens of Quincy and in the investigation and prosecution of all matters where the criminal laws appear to have been violated. For more detail as to his work and accomplishments, see his report under the Police Department section.


TAG DAYS


Under Chapter 101, Section 33 of the General Laws, The Commissioner of Public Welfare may grant to any organization engaged in charitable work a special license authorizing it, under a particular day and for a charitable purpose to solicit funds within such city or town. In 1961 in Quincy we issued a total of 12 such licenses to charitable organizations and youth groups.

PERSONNEL CHANGES


During 1961 we encountered many personnel changes. One of our Supervisors, who had been with the department for 15 years, transferred to the State Department of Public Welfare. In addition, three Social Workers resigned during the year. Due to the resignation of one of our Senior Clerks, we promoted a junior clerk in the department to cover this position. Due to the increased work load caused by the inception of the Medical Assistance program it was also necessary to add two junior clerk stenographers to our staff.


COUNCIL FOR THE AGING


The Commissioner is chairman of the Council for Aging which held several meetings during the year to supervise the program for elderly persons. Mayor Amelio Della Chiesa is ex-officio chairman. Other members are Dr. Richard M. Ash, Mrs. Ted Ashby, Dr. Paul Gossard, Miss Dorothy P. Hill, Theodore Johnson, William Kahler, Mrs. Joseph A. MacRitchie, Rabbi Jacob Mann, John G. J. McDonald and William F. Ryan.

The Board also had lights for evening skating installed at Squantum, Welcome Young, Montclair. Perkins, Pollard, and O'Rourke, all tennis court areas, adding to our established skating areas, namely, Manet Lake, Sailors Home Pond, Furnace Brooks Parkway, Faxon Park, Cavanaugh Stadium, Broad Meadows, and newly installed skating rink at Squantum, making every section of the City well equipped for skating.

VANDALISM


In spite of the fact that the Board of Park Commissioners closed all Parks and Playgrounds after dark, we are sorry to report that vandalism during the year 1961 had not decreased.


The destruction of playground equipment such as playground boxes, playground shelters, the breaking of water faucets, the tearing down of basketball nets, and the destruction of tennis nets, is more prevalent every year. Playground boxes had to be removed after a few weeks of opening season due to vandalism. We still have numerous "breaks" in buildings under the jurisdiction of the department, the boat house at Chapel Street being a frequent target for vandalism.

On our proposl for M.D.C. owned land in the Blue Hills the bill has gone through all of the Committees of Metropolitan Affairs as well as the Ways and Means Committee. All that remains is to have it passed by the House of Representatives, the Senate and signed by the Governor. It is our most earnest hope that prompt action will be taken by all of these governing bodies as the City of Quincy is in dire need of more land for cemetery purposes.

Traffic control continued to be a major function of police work in Quincy in 1961 when both the number of accidents and the number of injuries increased slightly over the previous year's figures although fatal accidents showed a sharp drop.


Accidents increased from 1,109 to 1,174 and injuries from 892 to 940, but fatal injuries dropped from ten to four.


The number of arrests made by the Police Department increased from 3,361 to 3,390. The number of juveniles brought to court decreased from 207 in 1960 to 166 in 1961.
