ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF THE GENERAL AGENT


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


Gentlemen:


In compliance with the City Ordinances, the Annual Report of the Board of Public Welfare for the fiscal year ending De- cember 31, 1951, is hereby submitted.


During the year 1951, our General Relief costs decreased considerably over 1950, reaching its climax in November when many cases were transferred to the new division of relief, Dis- ability Assistance.


The expenditures under the title of "Miscellaneous Wel- fare" for the year 1950 were $427,568.68; for the year 1951, $346,393.60; a decrease of $81, 175.08. A further substantial decrease in this account is anticipated for 1952.


The Welfare Miscellaneous case load for 1951 was as fol- lows:

The expenditures under A. D. C. for the year 1950 were $533,904.44; for the year 1951, $471,820.45; a decrease of $62,083.99. A gradual decrease in the case load of this Divi- sion reflects in the costs, as does the excellent work done by our Domestic Relations Division. A 5.9% additional cost of living increase was given on October, 1951.


The expenditures under O. A. A. for the year 1950 were $1,852,724.61; for the year 1951, $1,831,562.43; a decrease of $21,162.18. Decreased case load reflects in the reduction, as does the increased Old Age and Survivors' Insurance bene- fits, which only affected three months in 1950, but was in effect during the entire year of 1951. A 5.9% cost of living increase was given in this category on October 1, 1951.


269


WELFARE DEPARTMENT


The A. D. C. case load in December, 1950 was 348; while in December, 1951, it was 324.


The O. A. A. case load in December, 1950, was 2253; while in December, 1951, it was 2231.


Effective November 1, 1951, a new division of relief, namely, Disability Assistance, was established under Chapter 118D of the General Laws. A State medical panel will decide if applicant comes under the Disability provisions of the law. A 75% reimbursement is received in this category for aid ex- tended and for administration. A total of 102 cases were transferred from General Relief to this Division in 1951. We anticipate about 250 cases in this category by December 31, 1952.


The expenditures under the title of Disability Assistance for the year 1951 were $10,619.96.


During this year, many improvements were made at our City Infirmary by our Building Department; namely, asphalt shingles over entire building, new gutters and conductors, and the entire building was painted inside and outside. A new prayer room was open for the spiritual needs of the inmates. During 1950 and 1951 over $13,000 was spent on renovations and repairs. During 1951 a new master-mix was also pur- chased.


The Public Welfare Department operates a Surplus Com- modities Distribution Center at 54 - 56 Summer Street. All re- cipients of public assistance are eligible to receive these commodities. During 1951 the following was distributed:


Cheese


26,472 lbs.


Butter


54,110 lbs.


Eggs 13,020 lbs.


Milk


33,600 lbs.


Potatoes


248,400 lbs.


Quantities given were based on the number of persons in the family.


Our Welfare Clinic in the Old Police Station, 50 Bow Street, had a very busy year. The report of our City Physician will show the number of patients treated. One of our three City Physicians is in attendance each week day. We also have a registered nurse and a medical and dental assistant in attend-

ance. While the location is in an old building, our Building Department has co-operated by doing frequent paint jobs, and our employees by keeping it clean in accordance with hospital standards.


Our Domestic Relations Division was successful in closing 11 cases from our A. D. C. rolls. About 12 cases were also closed from General Relief. We were also fortunate in securing weekly payments from over a dozen men who had previously failed to contribute to the support of their families. Its work also included house visits and investigations relative to com- plaints of neglect received by the Somerville Police. These lat- ter complaints were, for the most part, reports from neighbors that mothers were leaving their minor children unattended during the evening, drinking in the home, etc. Inspector Courtney, assigned to this Department, also reports that during the year 1951, 187 arrests were made. The majority of these arrests concerned families receiving Public Assistance, and non-support, begetting, and the like.


Through the year 1951, our Employment Division accepted a total of three hundred and eighty-seven (387) applications for employment. Of this number, 324 were placed. The follow- ing table indicates the total number of persons placed in each category:


Unemployment Relief 197


General Relief


52


Aid to Dependent Children 39


Veterans' Services 14


Referrals from outside sources such as Catholic Char- ities, Family Welfare Service, Clergy, Domestic Relations and individual applications and State Parole Division 22


We are particularly anxious to commend the following places of employment for their co-operation and understand- ing in regards to our employment problems, some being cases for rehabilitation:


The Boston Woven Hose, Cambridge, Massachusetts


M. W. Carr Co., Gorham Street, Somerville


Comfort Pillow Co., Howard Street, Somerville


Rowse Vinegar Co., Elmwood Street, Somerville Narjos Shoe Co., Vernon Street, Somerville


Dairy Transport Co., Middlesex Avenue, Somerville M. & M. Transportation Co., Mystic Avenue, Somerville


The rising cost of medical needs especially in the O. A. A. category, where they are allowed physician of choice, is a problem that our Board has spent considerable time on. A


271


WELFARE DEPARTMENT


survey on O. A. A. medical and nursing home care expendi- tures shows we spent nearly $350,000. during the year. This figure represents about one-fifth of the overall gross expendi- tures. Many interesting facts were revealed in our Nursing Home survey, among them was that showing the average age to be 80 years, and that 72.9% were women. Increased hos- pital rates, doctor rates, and Nursing Home rates, which are now in effect, make the outlook for increased costs for medical care for 1952 practically certain.


In the distributing of relief in any of its forms, the basic consideration is need. The need exists from many causes. Among the most prevalent causes are unemployment, illness and injury, death of the bread winner, old age, desertion, non- support of family, and imprisonment. All Public Assistance programs are governed by statutes, and they are the yardstick by which the Department must gauge the work. There are also many policies and procedures in the State Department of Pub- lic Welfare Manual of Assistance which have to be followed in order to get Federal participation. We fully realize the respon- sibilities which are ours in caring for the needy, and we feel that many measures have been taken to safeguard the tax- payers' interests.


Our City has been fortunate in the caliber and type of per- sons appointed by our Mayor as members of the Board of Pub- lic Welfare, for their falthful attendance at meetings, for their interest and advice in matters of policy and procedure, and for their whole-hearted support during the year. I offer my sincere thanks.


Our aim for 1952 will be to safeguard the taxpayers' interests by intelligent case work, and to give adequate relief to those in need.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES J. WILLWERTH, General Agent

ANNUAL REPORTS


REPORT OF THE VETERANS GRAVES REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT


May 19, 1952.


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


Gentlemen:


The Annual Report for the Graves Registration Department is as follows:


At the present time there are fifty repatriated bodies interred in the Cemetery; forty-six World War II and four Korean Conflict. Up to last year the Cemetery was unidentified from the public's point of view, but this was corrected by an order through the Board of Aldermen, and two bronze plaques were placed on entrance pillars bearing the inscription "Som- erville Veterans Memorial Cemetery."


The Memorial erected in the center of the cemetery bears the names of four hundred and nine World War II Veterans who died in the Armed Services and their names inscribed on the bronze plaque were sequenced and corrected through this Department after hours of detailed search in the State Ad- jutant General's Office. The diligence with which this was done is proved by the fact that not one complaint was recorded as to a name omitted or an error in the spelling of the names.


The beauty and favorable comments on Somerville heroes' final resting place greatly exceeds the minimum expense which is as follows for the year nineteen hundred fifty-one:


Personal Services $750.00


Ordinary Maintenance 700.12

EDWARD S. COLEMAN, Graves Registration Officer

REPORT OF THE SOMERVILLE HOUSING AUTHORITY, INC. FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1951


May 20, 1952.


Honorable John M. Lynch Mayor of the City of Somerville City Hall Somerville, Massachusetts


Dear Mayor Lynch:


With this letter we are submitting for your perusal and that of the Board of Aldermen the fourth Annual Report of the Somerville Housing Authority for the year ending December 31, 1951.


As you are aware, the Authority has already provided 466 apartments for veterans of low income and their families in the city, an accomplishment of which it is very proud, and it is anticipated that before the end of this year an additional 500 units will be under construction.


Once again, we must emphasize that the accomplishments of the Authority are due in large measure to the time and energy devoted to the task of public housing by the members of the Authority, to the hearty co-operation extended by your office and by the Board of Aldermen, to the fine support of the Governor of the Commonwealth and to the members of the staff.


It is the earnest hope of the Authority that we have been able to render some measure of service to the City of Somer- ville and that we may have the opportunity, in future, of pro- viding extended housing facilities for the many people who so badly need them.


Very truly yours,


Somerville Housing Authority, CHARLES G. MARTIGNETTE, Chairman for 1951

URBAN REDEVELOPMENT


During the year, the Urban Redevelopment Section of the Authority was organized. A study was made of several areas and a project area in the "Brick-Bottom" section of the city was selected. By co-ordinating redevelopment planning with the plans of the Metropolitan District Commission, the Au- thority is hopeful that redevelopment can be carried through with substantial benefit to the people and to the city at no direct cost to the city. The year ended with the redevelopment proposal in the hands of the Board of Aldermen for the ap- proval necessary for continuation of planning.

REPORT OF THE LAW DEPARTMENT


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


May 15, 1952.


Gentlemen:


I am pleased to submit the annual report of the Law De- partment for the year 1951.


The normal business of the department was carried on as usual. Again, there was a noticeable increase in the number of claims arising out of defective sidewalks and streets, and, correspondingly, the number of suits instituted against the city has risen. In many instances, settlements were made in these cases, and in others court action was necessary. There was also a marked increase in the number of claims resulting from the operation of city-owned motor vehicles.


As in past years, the Law Department extended its services to such other city departments as found them necessary. Court action was taken for the Welfare Department in settlement cases, for the City Treasurer's Office in Land Court proceed- ings and for the Board of Assessors in Appellate Tax Board matters.


I wish to acknowledge the services rendered to this depart- ment by Arthur A. Forte and Mary A. Kerwin, Assistant City Solicitors, and Thomas J. Flanagan, Inspector of Claims.


I, also, wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation and pleasant relations existing between this office and His Honor, Mayor Lynch, the members of your Honorable Board, and the officials and employees of the city with whom this de- partment has been in contact.


Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT J. MULDOON, City Solicitor
