ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF VETERANS' AID AND PENSONS


March 9, 1945.


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville


Gentlemen :


I am submitting the annual report of the Veterans' Aid and Pensions Department, in which is presented a tabulated state- ment showing the aid rendered to the Veterans and their de- pendents of the Civil, Spanish, German, Mexican Border, and World War II Wars, for the year ending December 31, 1944.


The amounts spent for the different types of aid are as fol- lows :


Military Aid


$ 4,905.95


State Aid .


3,955.00


Soldier's Relief


25,352.89


War Allowance


10,649.72


Burials


372.00


Total Expenditures $45,235.56


The department has moved to larger quarters at Highland Hall in the Knights of Columbus Building, where facilities are available for all types of service for, the veteran and his de- pendents. The staff includes a Liaison Officer who is familiar with the laws regarding pension, vocational training, education and other benefits for the veteran. An employment manager as- sists the returning veterans to obtain work and he advises them regarding opportunities in Civil Service. The department will also include a clinic which is now being completed. The matter of rehabilitating the veteran and assisting him in other ways will continue being an important part of the department pro- gram.


Very truly yours,


THOMAS F. MCGRATH,


Commissioner.

seven hundred four (5704) names were certified. Also, were received Initiative Petitions and Referenda papers numbering thirty-four (34) on which eight hundred nineteen (819) names were certified, making a total of Two hundred sixty-two (262) papers and six thousand five hundred twenty-three (6523) names certified.


JURORS


In accordance with Chapter 234, of the General Laws, as amended by Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Com- missioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as Jurors.


The Board has established a system, whereby, each person provisionally selected for jury service, fills out a questionnaire and appears before a member of the Board at the office and makes oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the ser- vice that would be required of him as a juror. These personal ex- aminations also, enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each prospective juror.


The Jury List for 1944, prepared by the Board contains the names of eleven hundred thirty-four (1134) voters.


RECOUNTS


A recount was held for the purpose of recounting ballots cast in the State Primary, of July 11th for the Office of Senator in the 3rd Middlessex District ( Wards 1-2-3-4-5). The original figures and figures of the recount are on Page 315 of the Book of "Record of Election Primaries".


A State wide Recount was held for the office of Attorney General in the seven wards of the city. The original figures and the figures of the recount are on Page 177 of the book, "Record of -Elections".


RECOMMENDATIONS


The Board of Election Commissioners recommends, that the polling place of Ward one, Precinct three, be changed from


240
