FIRE PREVENTION
The officers and men of the Attleboro Fire Department made 3, 002 inspections during the past year. Schools, rest homes, kindergartens, and hospitals are in- spected monthly. Stores, business establishments, and factories have received some inspections.
Many complaints have been received and investigated. Where hazards were found, . the proper authorities were notified to rectify same.
A great deal of fire prevention work was done during Fire Prevention Week with the help of the Mayor and the committee he appointed for this work. Fine assistance was also given us by the Chamber of Commerce, the local insurance agencies, the newspapers, Radio Station W. A. R. A. , the churches, various clubs and the hospital in making this fire prevention program the success it was.
The Deputy Chiefs made many inspections during Fire Prevention Week, aided by the Captains and men of the department. Harold Wellman, assisted by some fire- fighters, showed pictures to various groups. Films were shown in all the schools in the city.
If it were possible, we would recommend that all factories and mercantile build- ings be inspected regularly. However, at the present time, we do not have the man power to do this.

Report Cu tis
A Fire Prevention Bureau has been established this past year, which has done much to reduce the fire hazards.
AMBULANCES
The two Sturdy Memorial Hospital ambulances are operated by the department, with men assigned from the Fire Department. They have answered many calls during the past year. We have received many fine compliments about the effi- ciency of the men on these ambulances.
The department, however, is reduced two men at all times due to this assign- ment. To operate. one ambulance on a seven day basis, it requires seven men out of this department.
Often during the past year both ambulances have been in use at the same time. When this occurs, we are very short of men for fire fighting duty. Several times the two ambulances have been out on calls and a Chief's car has been used as an emergency ambulance.
Number of Calls Hours of Service Oxygen Tanks Used
1009 970 hours - 25 minutes

AUTO ACCOUNT
This account has been very small for the number of motor equipment pieces in this department that must be maintained. This account includes all repairs and replacements, also the gasoline account. At least one truck will have to be over- hauled during the coming year which will be an added expense. The auto account should be increased as recommended.
STATIONS ACCOUNT
The stations account is too small to make any major repairs. This account includes all supplies and equipment purchased, both at the stations and equip- ment on trucks. It has been used for the maintenance of radio equipment, as we do not have a radio account.
HOSE ACCOUNT
It will be necessary to appropriate more money in this account to purchase the same amount of hose as usual, due to increased prices.
APPAREL ACCOUNT
We recommend the apparel account be 73 Men ($75. 00 each) 9 Captains and 1 Mechanic ($100. 00 ea. ) 1 Chief and 4 Deputies ($150. 00 ea. )
$ 7225. 00
ALL OTHER ACCOUNT
The all other account we recommend to be 500.00
In case of injuries or doctor bills, it will be necessary to request payments, as in the past, by special appropriation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The Board of Fire Engineers again recommend that a new fire station be built at a new location on the west side of the city. After such a station is built, the South Main Street station could be abandoned. A
bungalow type station is recommended.
2 We again recommend that consideration be given for an additional fire station in theSouth Attleboro section nearer the state line, where the city is growing very fast in homes and industry. The value of property in this location has increased greatly. We recommend securing a piece of land for this station. Another station is badly needed.
3. We recommend that a separate account be set up (either in the Fire Department or the Electrical Branch of the Fire Department) for a radio account. With all the radio equipment now in use, we feel there should be an account for radio expenses.
4. We recommend that new fire alarm boxes be installed in many locations, especially in new plats and where needed in growing locations, where boxes are few and far between.
5. We recommend that an appropriation be set up for sick leave. When men are out sick, we need this account to hire off duty men to fill in on sick- ness. We feel this account should be $9, 000. 00.
6. We recommend that consideration be given to replace Ladder # 3 at the South Main Street station with a Tractor Drawn 85' aerial ladder truck.
7. The Board of Fire Engineers recommend that a new pumping engine and foam ยท truck be purchased to replace a 1932 Ahern Fox 500 gallon pump. We were unable to get a sticker this fall on the annual inspection. We have had the truck checked and find that the parts for replacement would cost approxi- mately one thousand dollars ($1,000. 00), if we are able to purchase these parts, plus labor for installing parts. The clutch in this truck is also in bad condition and is liable to go at any time. We do not know if this can be replaced. The last time we bought a clutch for this truck, we waited several weeks until one could be located. The cost at that time was very expensive. We feel this truck should be replaced with at least a 750 gallon pump and foam truck and that we take the oldest truck now in ser- vice (a 1939, 600 gallon pump) and use same as a spare piece of appara- tus to be used for brush fires. We recommend that an appropriation of $32, 000. 00 be made for the pumping engine and foam truck.
8. We have not recommended any amount for the physical fitness program, as we do not know, at this time, just what the program would cost.
9 We recommend that an appropriation be made for repairs to the stations. It is much cheaper to keep stations in good repair at all times. We re- commend the following appropriation to this account:

11. We recommend that 8 Radecters Sets be purchased (two for each station). They would be badly needed in case of attack or radiation fallout.
12. We recommend that an appropriation be made for the purchase of new rubber coats. $200.00
Portable Radios $1,800. 00 Smoke Ejectors $300. 00

APPRECIATION
We wish at this time to express our appreciation to: all who aided and assisted us in the past year.
As always, the Police Department has co-operated and assisted us in performance of duties.
We thank His Honor, the Mayor ;.. Cyril K. Brennan, members of the Municipal Council and the Police and Fire Committee for granting our requests to improve the Department for the protection of our public.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR - 1964
1. I recommend that the expense account of the Building Inspector be $1, 000. 00. ($800. 00 of this to be used for elevator inspections. The balance of $200. 00 for office supplies).
2. I recommend that the salary of the Building Inspector be $2, 000. 00/
3. I recommend that the salary of the clerk be increased to $2, 900. 00.
4. I recommend that consideration be given to adopt an ordinance for a flat fee of $10. 00 for alterations, construction or additions to business or mercantile buildings which are valued at less than $10, 000. 00
5. I recommend that an ordinance be adopted for a fee for elevator in- spections. State law requires yearly inspections of elevators. Most cities charge a set fee for inspection of elevators.
21.
Report of the Below Hope to continued -
6. I recommend that the sprinkler ordinance be changed to include one story business buildings without basements.
7. I recommend that a telephone for the Building Inspector's office be installed (to keep fire line telephones from being tied up. ) I recommend that $200. 00 be appropriated for telephone service and installation.
At this time, I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance given my by the Mayor, City Council and for the advice given my be the City Solicitor; the co-operation of the Planning Board and the Board of Appeals; the Zoning Board, and the Wire Inspector who have all assisted me on numer - ous occasions. I also want to thank the Deputy Chiefs and anyone who has assisted me in any way.
Respectfully submitted, Merton E. Churchill, Building Inspector.

Annual Report
REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT 1963
To His Honor the Mayor and the Municipal Council:
The past year has been one of considerable change in Public Welfare on a national and in particular on a local level
The thread of this trond of change seems to be enveloped in the word "increase".
On a national level there is increased emphasis on providing services to public assistance clientele. Local departments are encouraged to provide ser - vices above and beyond the formerly routine investigations to cover minimum requirements by basing federal administrative reimbursements on percentage of services rendered to clients and not simply clients visited.
Currently the aim of services is for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children category; however, this is intended to be broadened to encompass the Old Age Assistance, Medical Assistance and Disability Assistance programs.
Locally there has been a considerable increase in the services rendered to clients since an additional Social Worker was hired the latter part of 1963. Although only a brief experience to date, the results are definitely positive to the client and the department in seeking out problem areas and possible abuses in receiving aid
In an effort to make optimal use of social work staff and their particular specialties, the case load has been weighted by assigning percentage points to cases depending on the category. AFDC cases are weighted as the heaviest due to multiple problems existing. This enables a worker to carry a smaller case load while concentrating in her specialty and at the same time allowing the total case load to be spread equally among all workers.
An area requiring an increase but lacking to date is additional office space.
Currently there are four social workers and a senior clerk occupying an office space with a floor area measuring approximately 7 x 12 feet
There is a clerical staff of five with five desks and five typewriters (with a vacancy) in an area of 17 x 15 feet.
The Social Work Supervisor and Director are fortunate in having private offices. Private in that there is no sharing with personnel; however, not so private in that sharing is required with file cabinets, storage cabinets and other material requiring storage.
The thread of increase is reflected in the monthly case load, which for ten months of 1963 exceeded 1962 case load, and gives an average monthly case load in 1963 of 513 cases.
1 i
Disability Assistance category increased from an average case load in 1962 of 34 to an ending figure in 1963 of 43.
2.4.
Annual Report
Report of the Welfare Department continued
An optimistic note for the tax payer is found in the Old Age category, which only again continued a downward trend in expenditure of $10, 558. 86, as compared to 1962. This is now expected to continuenue to transfer of ex- pensive nursing home cases to the Medical Assistance program.
This is, however, the only decrease reflected in 1963 expenditures, as all other categories have shown increases as previously mentioned.
The net cost to the City of Attleboro in 1963 has been $196, 456 44, as compared to a total expenditure of $789, 487. 62
A detailed statement of receipts and expenditures for 1963 is as follows:
