BOARD OF APPEAL


REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEAL


January 31, 1946


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


Gentlemen :


The Board of Appeal of the City of Somerville respect- fully submits the following report of its activities during the year ending December 31, 1945.


During the past year it was necessary to hold hearings and take action on twenty-five appeals taken from decisions of the Commissioner of Public Buildings, refusing to grant permits in Zoning, Building and Fire District Ordinance mat- ters. Relief was granted in seventeen cases, six were refused, no action taken on one appeal and one carried over to 1946.


It has been the express intention of your Board at all times to act in good faith and without favor or prejudice to anyone, and to grant relief whenever in the opinion of the Board the interests of both the city and the appellant would be most favorably served. Appeals were granted because of no great variance from the existing laws or because of un- necessary hardship which would have been suffered by the appellants.


All of the members of your Board have throughout the year made it a part of their duty, in conjunction with the work of hearing and deciding appeals, to visit the premises that would be affected by the appeal, so that when the hearing was held the members had a mental picture of just what the appellant wanted.


The powers of the Board of Appeal are regulated by statute and favorable decisions may only be made by a unani-

ANNUAL REPORTS


mous vote of the full board when in its judgment there is practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship. It is therefore encumbent upon the individual members of the Board to become thoroughly familiar with the facts in every case. This we have endeavored to do before forming our opinions and giving decisions. After favorable decisions have been rendered it is then the duty of the Building Department to enforce the conditions as stated, and it is a pleasure to report that the fullest co-operation has been received from the Commissioner of public Buildings in this regard.


Respectfully submitted,


DR. S. G. ZAHAROOLIS, Chairman ANTHONY C. ROSSELLI, Secretary JOHN V. MOTTA EDGAR J. GERRIOR CHARLES NOBILIO, Associate Member

PLANNING BOARD


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


April 1, 1946


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


Gentlemen :


The Planning Board of the City of Somerville respectfully submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1945.


With David B. Nissenbaum, as chairman, and Francis Stanford, as secretary, the board met on several occasions to act upon the petitions presented to it during the year. It for- warded its recommendations to your Honorable Board for final action. All fees collected in connection with these peti- tions were turned over to the City Treasurer and are incor- porated in his report.


It is earnestly recommended that your Honorable Board consider the advisability of accepting the provisions of Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1936, known as the Improved Method of Municipal Planning, thereby providing a wider scope of activ- ity and authority to the present board.


Respectully submitted,


DAVID B. NISSENBAUM


Chairman

WELFARE DEPARTMENT


During the year 1945 there was a slight increase in case loads. The case load for all categories of relief in December 1944 was 1630, while in December 1945 it was 1709. A further increase in case load is anticipated for 1946 because of the liberalization of the Old Age Assistance laws, plus the return to our rolls of many physically handicapped persons who were able, owing to the man power shortage, to obtain employment during war time, and who with changed conditions, will be discharged.


All categories of relief have been increased during this year, to meet the high cost of living.


Our rehabilitation program has been continued as in other years with many correctional devices, glasses, artificial limbs and hearing aids and the like being procured. The cooperation of the State Department of Education Rehabilitation Bureau in cases referred to them is worthy of mention. We continue to investigate any and all cases referred to us by the differ- ent draft boards and service connected agencies. During 1945 we investigated 112 cases.


The expenditures under the category of Miscellaneous Welfare for the year 1944 was $145,998.82 and for the year 1945, $149,122.83 an increase of $3,124.01. The Welfare Mis- cellaneous case load for 1945 is as follows :

The expenditures under Aid to Dependent Children for the year 1944 were $135,128.91 and for 1945, $168,344.87 an in- crease of $33,215.96.


The expenditures in Old Age Assistance for the year 1944 were $656,489.65 and for 1945 $717,289.39 an increase of $60,799.74.


324


ANNUAL REPORTS


The Aid to Dependent Children case load in December 1944 was 144, while in December 1945 it was 170.


The Old Age Assistance case load in December 1944 was 1303, and in December 1945 it was 1343.


Many changes in the law affecting Old Age Assistance have been made this year, among them being the allowing of a physician of choice, and the increased exemption on children liable for support, making it a net rather than a gross basis. A substantial increase in the Old Age Assistance costs is an- ticipated in 1946.


Our employment division activity during the past year is worthy of mention. During this year, 204 persons were placed in gainful employment through the efforts of this di- vision. Most of the cases so placed would have to be aided by our department if not placed. We enjoy the enviable position of having the least per capita case load of any city or town in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on our Temporary Aid cases. This is due, I believe, to the efforts of our employment division, and to our unceasing efforts at rehabilitation.


In the dispensing of relief in any of its forms, the basic consideration is need. The need exists for many causes. Among the most prevalent causes are unemployment, sickness or in- jury, old age, desertion, and non-support of families and im- prisonment. The amounts of money paid out by our depart- ment because of desertion and non-support is a substantial one, and much time and energy is put in presenting these cases to the court.


During 1945 a new Personnel Compensation Plan was submitted by the Civil Service and was approved by the Board of Public Welfare and our Mayor. This plan has a minimum and a maximum salary for the different grades, with a step rate increase each year until the maximum has been reached.


The problem of caring for chronic cases such as aged and infirm and hopelessly invalided cases is one that causes us great concern. Our City Infirmary can only car for a limited number of these cases. The rest have to be institutionalized or placed in private nursing homes. Shortage of nurses and insti- tutional help still exists, and it is difficult to find proper place- ment for these cases. During this year, plans were drawn and

submitted for a new City Infirmary, and I understand progress has been made in having the plans accepted; also in having the Federal Government participate in the cost of same.


During this year many of our personnel who were in the armed services of our country returned to work. We were glad to welcome them back to their duties again.


Knowing that if the causes for seeking relief are removed the case will leave our rolls, we are trying, by getting jobs for our unemploymed cases, by giving proper medical care, includ- ing prosthetic devices to those in need of the same, by aiding and assisting our Domestic Relations Officer in bringing to justice those who are guilty of abandonment, neglect, desertion and non-support, to bring our case load down to normal bounds. We fully realize the responsibilities which are ours in caring for the needy, and we feel that many measures have been taken to safeguard the taxpayers interest. Our aim for the new year will be to give adequate relief to those in need, and to safeguard the taxpayers by intelligent case work.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES J. WILLWERTH
