ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE AND BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Douglas:
Following is a report of the combined boards for the year 1950:
This department expended a total of $45,475.69-90.3% of this was spent for Old Age Assistance, 4.3% for Aid to Dependent Chil- dren and 5.4% for General Relief, according to the state depart- ment's figures.
Eighty-three families, consisting of one hundred and ten per- sons, received aid from one category or another during the year.
Sixty-one persons were given Old Age Assistance and constant changes were made in the list from month to month. Ten persons were added-five new applications, two were transferred from Gen- eral Welfare, two cases were re-opened, and one case was trans- ferred from another town. Fourteen cases were closed this year- four by death, two were transferred to other places, the aid of two persons was suspended while they were receiving Unemployment Compensation, and four cases were closed on October 1, 1950 when the increase in Social Security Benefits made their income exceed their needs, according to the state standard budget.
For several years a number of Douglas people have been given Old Age Assistance in other cities and towns at great expense to this town, but now all but three of them have lost their settlement in Douglas and these three will lose theirs in 1951.
Medical expenses as usual continue to be the biggest item of expense-$3,852 being spent for hospital and medical expenses of Old Age Assistance recipients in addition to verified medical allow- ances which are included in many grants. General Welfare medical needs cost $935.
Four families with seven children were given Aid to Dependent Children during the past year. One family has been transferred to Worcester. Our General Welfare list continues the same as last year with the exception of two persons who became eligible for Old Age Assistance and were transferred to that category. A number of families were aided from time to time, and several hospital bills were paid for persons who were unable to pay.
53
TOWN OF DOUGLAS
In spite of the many changes which were made in administration rules a year ago, still more were put into effect in 1950 until now they have become so difficult that much time has to be spent on the keeping of records and reports, in order to secure proper reim- bursement for the town from the state department and Federal Gov- ernment. These records were checked several times this year by Federal and State auditors and statistical agent from the Bureau of Accounts, Boston,
According to the vote of the people at the November election, a new law which would go into effect on June 1, 1951, would almost double our list of Old Age Assistance recipients and expenses; for it would lower the age limit to 63 years, aid aliens, give everyone a minimum of $75 a month, do away with contributions of children, etc. However, as everyone knows from reading the newspapers, le- gal procedures are being sought to change this law before June, for it promises to bankrupt the Commonwealth. A law is already in the statutes to lower the age of eligibility as soon as the Federal Gov- ernment agrees to participate in the payments.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas:
The water Commissioners report as follows for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1950.
We had two appropriations given us for 1950. One appropria- tion was of $8,000 for administering and maintaining the water department plant to keep a good supply of water available at all times. The second appropriation of $1,000 was for improving our pumping facilities.
It will be noted from the accountants report which follows that we have kept within our appropriations and have an unexpended balance of $142.48 on the $8,000 appropriation. A proportioner in- jector pump costing nearly $300.00 has been installed the past year in an endeavor to eliminate the water stains in the homes, and to overcome corrosion in the pipes. Soda ash which has been used in the proportioner has cost us about $5.00 per week. This exceptional expense is included in the expenses charged under the $8,000 appro- priation.
The positions of two hydrants have been changed on Main Street for their better protection.
The $1,000 appropriation was expended in replacing a 50 horse- power pump of 500 gallons per minute capacity by a pump of 25 horsepower capacity of 250 to 300 gallons per minute. There will be a credit later from sale of the 50 horse power pump.
The change has reduced our pumping charges materially with apparently no real loss in supply of water. We figure a saving of about $80.00 in pumping charges in November and December 1950, over November and December of 1949.
A water main should be repaired at the lower village bridge this coming year.
It might be worthwhile to acknowledge a value of $75.00 each for 83 hydrants and that water is furnished to the schools in Douglas at the minimum rate. No charge is made for supplying water to all the other Town Buildings at this time.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
REPORT ON DOUGLAS CENTER WATER MAIN EXTENSION
Late in the fall of 1948 a group of responsible citizens of the Old Douglas section came into a Water Commissioners meeting and asked for help in getting water for Old Douglas. These citizens were very much justified in making this request because of the findings of the Fact Finding Committee reported for the year 1941 :-
"The Joint Committee, therefore, makes this finding as a re- port of progress, recognizing the need to the community, but recommend deferring favorable action until after the emergency is over.
The request was supported by calmness and courtesy indicating perhaps how strong they believed their position. The Commissioners promised that an article would be placed in the town warrant at the next annual meeting of the town, and that they would get to- gether some cost facts for the information of the voters. These two things were done as promised. Two estimates were submitted which are acknowledged today to have been good estimates at the time. However, other estimates were required by the annual meeting and the following persons were appointed to serve with the Water Com- missioners.
Miss Grace Dudley
Mr. Paul Manning
Mr. Stanton Putnam
Mr. Lester J. Dermody
Mr. Winfield Schuster
The Joint Committee organized with Mr. Lester J. Dermody as chairman and Miss Grace Dudley as secretary.
At the adjourned meeting held March 9, 1950, the town appro- priated $75,000 for the laying of water mains into Old Douglas, and to erect a stand pipe of about 250,000 gallon capacity in Old Douglas. Also $5,000 was appropriated for necessary service connections, hy- drants and other necessary expenses.
Weston & Sampson, consulting engineers of Boston, were hired to take over the work, with Mr. Sampson to take personal charge.
Bids were accepted as follows:

Hydrants were to be purchased on the $5,000 appropriation at $1,875.00. The necessary service connection and other expenses will take about all of the rest of the appropriation.
We were very fortunate in our time of beginning this work, as prices of piping and other material, also contracting costs were quite low in comparison with prices of the immediate past and since that time.
By undertaking this project early in 1950, it is estimated that the work was done at from $25,000 to $30,000 less than the same project would have cost had the work been done in 1949. Also, sub- sequent events have shown that had this work been delayed until 1951, the cost would have been again $25,000 to $30,000 more than the actual cost experienced in 1950, and there is doubt whether the necessary materials could have been obtained.
The project has been completed without mishap. Pipe de- liveries did give us some annoyance for a time. The pipe people have recognized this annoyance by an adjustment since the first of the year. Delivery of pumps for the Booster Station has caused no little exasperation. These pumps were to have been delivered in June, 1950. One was received in November, and the second is still to be delivered. Latest promise is for a middle of February delivery, in 1951.
We believe we will be within our appropriation when all bills are paid.
D. Frederico Co., which laid the pipe has been paid $1925.01 since the year closed. $500.00 will be due April 1st.
59
TOWN OF DOUGLAS
There is due A. Amorello & Sons at this time $942.94 and $173.31 will be due May 1st.
There is due Walter Parker for land $25.00 and for damage to trees $272.00. D Frederico Co. owes him $50.00 for land damage.
Up to now we have 43 additional service connections as a credit to the old Douglas addition.
Because of the serious industrial conditions prevailing in the town at the time, there was honest hesitancy in some quarters as to the advisibility of indebting the town for $80,000 for a water ex- tension. However, we think most people are quite satisfied now that the extension has been made. The real value will become more ap- parent as time goes on. There is fire protection for Old Douglas with reduced insurance rates, and we believe a great deal additional fire protection for East Douglas if the need arises.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1950
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas:
I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1950.
The Department answered a total of 37 Alarms during 1950, classed as follows:
Dumps 10, Forest 5, Grass 4, House 3, Mill 3, Chimney 2, Oil Burners 2, Leaves 2, Barn 1, Brush 1, Auto 1, Shed 1, Garage 1, False Alarm 1.
This report shows a decrease of 16 alarms over the previous year. I feel that this is a good record compared to the last 4 or 5 years.
In my 1949 report I made certain recommendations to the School Committee regarding the safety of the Douglas Center School. I am happy to report that these recommendations were considered by the School Committee and measures were taken to remove the fire hazard there.
As the Fire Chief of Douglas, it is my recommendation again that the Town consider the purchase of a new truck with the fol- lowing general specifications: Equipped with a 1000 gallon tank, a 50 foot and a 30 foot ladder, a high pressure fog pump .. With this equipment a stream of fog could be delivered for one hour. It certainly would be possible to protect the outlying farms and property to a greater degree. This recommendation for new equip- ment is substantially the same that I have made for the past four years.
Carl Windham was appointed a call fireman by the Selectmen to fill the vacancy created by Steve Bezik who now resides in the Town of Sutton. In conclusion I would like to thank the Towns people and the Selectmen for their cooperation at all times.

REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN
December 31, 1950
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas:
I submit herewith the Annual Report of the Douglas Forest Fire Department.
During the year 1950 the Department issued 192 fire permits and we were very fortunate in having to answer only 5 forest fire alarms. The loss for the year was estimated to be one acre of scrub land. This record shows that the people in the outlying districts are much more careful than in the past.
The Town purchased a 1941 Dodge Pickup Truck to replace the 1924 Studebaker Truck.
The Department assisted the Uxbridge Forest Fire Department on two occasions. Because of a mutual agreement between the two towns, the department is always willing to cooperate with the Uxbridge Department.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people in the rural districts for the immediate assistance they have given the Department in any emergencies. With this cooperation our Forest Fire loss will be kept at a minimum.
Respectfully submitted,
FELIX S. VECCHIONE, Warden
