PLAYGROUND SUPERVISION.
At the annual town meeting in March 1915, it was voted to raise and appropriate the sum of Three Hundred Dollars, ($300.00) for playground supervision, to be expended under the direction of the Selectmen, and accordingly we invited the Woman's Civic Welfare League to confer with us upon the matter, and they kindly agreed to supervise the expenditure of the appropriation.
Their work was most satisfactory, and the Board of Se- lectmen are indebted to the League for their hearty co-opera- tion.
We have examined their excellent report and herewith submit it to the citizens.
JAMES H. REYNOLDS, JOHN B. HENDERSON, THOMAS J. NUGENT, Selectmen of Milford.
REPORT OF THE PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE OF THE WOMAN'S CIVIC WELFARE LEAGUE.
Under the auspices of the Woman's Civic Welfare League, a playground was equipped in the Plains District school yard and conducted for the month of August, 1914. Feeling that the results warranted its continuance and desir- ing to eqnip and organize another playground in some desira- ble locality, the League asked the town for an appropriation of $300 for the supervision of playgrounds for the season of 1915. Last June the League conducted a successful push- cart parade which netted $325. With a balance of $38.84 on hand and the receipts from the parade, the League equipped
9 1
the second playground in the Claflin school yard and added needed equipment to the Plains playground.
At the opening of the playground season, the Woman's. Civic Welfare League voted to assist the playground commit- tee to meet any deficit not exceeding $50.00.
The Plains District playground was under the supervi- sion of Miss Deborah Clancey, assisted by Mr. James Foley, and Misses Helen Kiley and Esther Fuller, (followed by Grace E. Keaney) and Mary G. Hickey. The attendance ranged from 50 to 200 children. The course of eight weeks included weaving, woodwork, clay-modeling, sewing, folk-dancing, games, and apparatus work.
Miss Clancey conducted the playground work with rare devotion and a fine enthusiasm, and the results of the sea- son's work were most creditable.
At the Claflin playground the supervisor, Miss Miriam Phipps of Hopkinton, was assisted by Mr. Howard Hilton, Misses Florence M. Whittemore and Gertrude Kirby, and Miss Florence N. Aldrich (followed by Miss Margaret McNamara). This playground was conducted for only six weeks. The same courses were given as at the Plains playground, and the attendance ranged from 50 to 260 children

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
In presenting our annual report for the year 1915, we beg to call your attention to the fact that we have kept for the first time two separate departments, with a report for each, which we take pleasure in placing before you. Our appropri- ation for the general poor fund for the past year was $15,000. Of this amount we had unpaid bills to January 1, 1915, of nearly $4000, which left us about $11,000 for use at our Town Home and for all outside aid, together with our income from all sources. In our Mothers' Aid we had appropriated the sum of $3500. This amount with our reimbursement of one third from the state and two-thirds on one case whose settle- ment we placed in Worcester, gave us $4913.35 to use in this work. We are pleased to report that all bills under Mothers' Aid were paid to January 1, 1916, and a balance of $96.79 unexpended.
In our general poor department your overseers and the superintendent and matron of our Home have labored hard to keep down expenses, but we have had a full house at our Home most of the time, with more sickness than ever, and as you all know the winter of 1914-15 will long be remembered as one of great depression and general lack of employment. This fact, with the large number of inmates and sickness at our Home, and the great outside aid given, kept, the depart- ment continually drawing on our appropriation. At many times during the past year we have had a dozen of our people sick at one time, which required doctor and medicine, and often the services of a nurse at $25 a week. This will ac- count for our large drug bills during 1915. To relieve this condition we recommend that a hospital building be built; a frame structure, to be used for our sick of the Home, and ar- range for a nurse to be ready at all times to attend to their wants and relieve our superintendent and matron of caring for the sick, as their services are required to look after Home and farm interests. With such a building we could cater to
94
many mild cases from your board of health, saving that de- partment and our own much money and trouble.
Our income you will note is not so large as the previous year. We answer this by the fact that we instructed our superintendent to do away with market gardening, to raise what our Home consumed in the vegetable line, and to give all time and attention to producing milk, pork, and hay and en- silage for our 19 head of cattle and three horses. We are glad to report this year we have plenty of hay, ensilage and root crops to carry through until late in spring. Our pig indus- try is yet in its infancy. Last winter we had a bad spell of sickness among our swine, but now with our new piggery and large fenced fields and fair garbage route established we ex- pect better results each year. Our Home farm land is more adapted to stock raising than market gardening, and we hope some day to see several hundred sheep grazing on our rough hillsides.
We have started a pond on the farm, built a cement dam, and have already harvested our 1916 crop of ice from this source. Our electric lighting system which we have had in- stalled the past year, we feel proud of, and have received sev- eral letters from the state inspector praising the work for its safety and convenience. There are yet many improvements to be made. We have a very ugly looking attic on the third floor of our Home, which we hope next year to have sheathed and made into comfortable sleeping quarters. Again taking up the matter of expenditure, will say that a little relief is at last in sight for our department. Business is now good in general and our calls for relief and aid are much less than for the past few years. The law passed in 1911, which provides that five years' absence from a town or city loses settlement, will, we hope, help Milford a great deal. We know of at least a dozen of such cases that we hope will be dropped off our books, whose names have adorned our pages many years. This law does not, however, take effect until late next sum- mer.
The law compelling sons and daughters to support their aged parents, which was passed in 1915, will soon be tested on
95
some of our cases. We are glad to report that with better times in sight we think the poor department can be carried on in the future perhaps for less than for the past few years. This will not be true of Mothers' Aid, as we began in September, 1913, by aiding ten mothers with dependent children, and to- day we have 20 Milford cases, with one in Medway, one in Beverly, and one in Upton, making 23 in all. As new cases present themselves your overseers will have to carefully con- sider each case. Our inventory of January 1, 1916, shows an increase of $500 on real estate and personal property same as last year.
We recommend that the sum of $14,000, be appropriated for the general poor and $4000 for mothers' aid for the pre- sent year. We respectfully submit the following reports :-
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Milford, January 1, 1916. TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR :-
Gentlemen :- In this, my third annual report to your board, I beg to state that the work of the past year, ending Dec. 31, 1915, was carried on in the same line as the previous years except less raising of garden truck and more time giv- en to hay, milk and hog raising. The number of cattle now on the farm has increased to 19, and with our five young heifers that we raised here and will soon be milking we hope to have 25 before another winter. We must not forget to mention that our ice house is filled with the finest product cut from our own pond, which we built the past season. This saved us many days of hard labor cutting and hauling from the meadow of the Milford Ice Co. The amount of produce raised and consumed at the Home during the past year is ap- proximately as follows : 30 barrels apples, 65 barrels cabbage, 100 bushels potatoes, 25 bushels turnips, 29 bushels beets, 1000 pounds squash, 10 bushels carrots, 50 pair chickens, 16 hogs, and about 40 quarts of milk daily.
We have cared for many young people during the past year, one young woman and three children stopping at the Home for nine weeks. When the family was finally reunited
96
we clothed the mother and children and helped them start again and am glad to report the family are now doing very well. We have had eleven deaths at our Home the past year; most of them being old and died from natural causes due to their advanced age. We take this means of thanking your Board for your good advice and co operation on all matters pertaining to the betterment, of our Home and farm, also to our town doctor, who is always ready night or day to attend to the wants of our aged inmates.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. DEARTH, Superintendent Town Home.
REPORT OF THE TOWN PHYSICIAN.
TO THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR :-
GENTLEMEN :- During the year 1915 I have made 575 calls as town physician. These were divided as follows : Office visits, 116; house visits, 247 ; Town Farm visits, 212. Some of the serious cases among the sick poor have been sent to the hospital, where they are treated by the physician or surgeon who happens to be in charge of the ward. I am in hopes that soon the department may have hospital facilities at the Farm, where many of these patients may be cared for. The number of sick people and the severity of their maladies- have made it necessary to employ a nurse for the Farm on several occasions during the year for cases not admissible to the hospital, and I do not hesitate in recommending the per- manent employment of a nurse there. The residents at the Farm are naturally not of a robust type and there is a great deal of medical treatment and dispensing of medicines at all times. This work would- fully justify the department in en- gaging a nurse. Should this recommendation meet with your favor, perhaps the nurse could also devote some of her time to district work among the outside cases, which have materially. increased, due in part to the mothers' aid law.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN V. GALLAGHER, M. D.
