The year 1964 has been one of the busiest that the Douglas Police Department has ever had but this is a reflection of the chang- ing times that all Departments are experiencing.
In the traffic field I feel we have made great headway in the fact that with the increasing volume of traffic through our Town I am still able to report a decrease in the total number of accidents for the year 1964. In 1962 there were 55 accidents, in 1963-30, in 1964-28, 20 property damage, 7 personal injury, 1 fatal.
Crimes against the person once again is on the rise.
We were fortunate to be able to clear up most of the summer cottage breaks that have plagued us for the past two winters, with the conviction of persons responsible.
Once again I recommend schooling for members of the De- partment. During the winter months in cooperation with neighbor- ing Chiefs of Police we hope to have a Valley School of Law for the men to attend.
The Department has been equipped with new nylon jackets, paid for by the Douglas Police Association. This makes it a one uniform department.
The Police Association has also paid for the ammunition used by members of the Department for target practice.
This year we must replace the cruiser as it has 120,000 active miles on it.

CLIFFORD N. BALLOU

A Trust Fund was established in memory of Mrs. Eleanor Schuster Frost.
Mrs. Margaret S. Carrick was named Life Member-Trustee.
Adult reading is made up mostly of teenagers, not because they like to read but because of school book reports. Some would never read if it were not for these reports.
Books on reading lists are on shelves in the reading room where the student may pick out the book he or she would like, but excuses are many for not finding a book to take to school or home to study.
Each year the college student readers increase with the sum- mer and holiday vacations.
Displays were set up for the D.A.R. in February and September. National Library week in April and Children's week in November. Christmas display of the Nativity was made by Judy Cave Curtis.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Selectman
The following reports of this department are hereby submitted:
On the Old Age Assistance program we started the year 1964 with twenty cases and during the year we received two cases. These two applications were processed, one case was approved and one application was withdrawn. We closed three cases, two by death and one case was transferred to Medical Assistance to the Aged. On December 31, 1964, we were aiding eighteen cases.
On the Medical Assistance to the Aged program we started the year with fifteen cases. Eight new cases were processed during the year. Two cases were closed when no more aid was required and two cases were closed by death, one case was withdrawn. On December 31, 1964, we were aiding eighteen cases under this program.
In the Aid to Dependent Children program we started the year 1964 with eight cases with thirty six children. One applica- tion was received. Through lack of cooperation on the part of the applicant, this application is pending. We closed four cases. Two were transferred to other communities and two cases became self supporting. On December 31, 1964 we were aiding four cases with fifteen children.
On Dissability Assistance program we started the year with one case. Two applications were made during the year. Both applica- tions were denied through the Medical Review Section of the de- partment of Public Welfare at the state level. No new cases were added, so on December 31, 1964, we were aiding one case.
On the General Relief program, during the year 1964, we aided eight cases. Four of which were on a temporary basis and four cases on a permanent basis. On December 31, 1964, we were aiding four cases.
The total expense for the five categorys amounted to $61,683.29.
The sum of $21,683.36 was spent for Old Age Assistance, $19,- 178.24 for Medical Assistance to the Aged, $13,724.10 for Aid to De- pendent Children program, $2422.45 for Dissability Assistance and $4061.14 for General Relief.
The total Hospital cost for nine recipients in all categories for eighty eight days has amounted to $2183.18.
In closing this report, we wish to thank the following people
