The raising of the non-resident fee from $2.00 to $10.00 has resulted in a loss of approximately $680.00 from the 1960 figures.
The chlorinating plant at Newburyport was closed from January, 1961 to June 4, 1961. As a result all of the digging was confined to the open areas, namely: Lord's Point to Blacks Creek and from Blacks Creek to the Wollaston Yacht Club. Due to the excessive digging in this area the productivity of the shellfish will not be as fruitful as in the past.
At the request of the shellfish constable early in the year the Division of Marine Fisheries made tests in mildly and grossly contaminated areas to determine if any of these areas could be declared free of contamination. The bacteria count, however, had not improved sufficiently for reclassification. In December the Gull Point area, closed during summer months, was reopened for commercial digging only.
During the year the constable secured convictions of three men for digging without permits.

Annual report of Dr. Joseph P. Leone, director, to the mayor and board of managers for the year 1961 :
As predicted by the Hospital officials, we are pleased to report that the addition of 112 beds to the 300 bed hospital of 1960 reduced the net operating deficit of our hospital due to increasing these income producing facilities. This has proven to be the case, as is shown by the net operating difference between expense and income, which was $279,000 in 1961 compared to $508,000 in 1960.
Not only did we improve our financial situation, but in addition we were able to render greater and more efficient service to many more patients, not only to those admitted to the Hospital but to those seen and treated in the new Accident Room where 18,902 patients were seen compared to 16,584 in 1960. The enclosed statistics show the steady increase in services rendered and tests performed in the various categories.
Our School of Nursing was again fully accredited by the National Nursing approving authorities, and to strengthen this program we developed an affiliation with the Quincy Junior College, thereby improving the status of our School.
