303
Article 1. A motion was made that the Town appro- priate the sum of Thirty-Five Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Six Dollars and Thirty-Eight Cents ($35,166.38) from available funds accruing to the Town on account of the adjustment of the fire loss at the Town Infirmary, to the Board of Public Welfare for the purpose of meeting the cost of the reconstruction and refurnishing of said Infirmary and for the payment of the charges incurred in connection with the adjustment of the fire loss thereon.
Finance Committee's Report
Your Committee finds the administration of the Town Infirmary through 1937 and 1938 extremely lax. Un- usual amounts of luxuries have been purchased; bills showing article and amount with no detail as to quantity have been passed and paid. In one case a credit memo- randum was O.K.'d as a bill and paid again by the Town. This has since been corrected by the Accountant, but indicates how laxly the business of the Infirmary has been run. Out-of-season fruits and produce have been bought without regard to cost, and the same applies to fruit juices and tonics. Also, it seems apparent that no attempt has been made by either the Board or the Super- intendent to economize on any of the miscellaneous arti- cles which the Superintendent wished to purchase. No satisfactory records have been found on either the quan- tity or costs of any of the products raised on the farm.
The cost of $6.44 per person given in the 1937 Town Report is not correct, and the actual cost is $7.23 per person per week, without adding any cost for insurance or overhead. If these additional items were included, the cost per person per week would be $7.94.
Many towns of Massachusetts find it more economical to board out infirmary cases in private families, partic- ularly Norwood, Wellesley, Framingham, Whitman, Mel- rose, Great Barrington, Needham, Ludlow and others, and a few find that an Infirmary without a farm is best. Marlboro has no farm; buys all it uses for the Infirmary, and still beats our cost by $1.38 per person per week. Taking two nearby towns of nearly our size, boarding in private families, Norwood cost was $6.25 and Framing- ham cost was $6.00. Marlboro cost, without any farm products being grown was $5.85.
The employment of assistance in the adjustment of
· 304
the fire loss, the agreement for compensation and the vote of payment has been handled in a manner not in keeping with good business judgment, if not actually in a dictatorial and arbitrary manner. Under the arrange- ment the Town is called upon to pay over $800.00. for what a reputable contractor offered to do for $200.00. In our opinion, the legality of the whole matter is open to question.
We find that the records of the Board are written and signed by a person who it is admitted attends none of the meetings, and they do not appear to be a complete state- ment of the transactions of the Board. Your Committee has been unable to investigate the matter of plans and costs of rebuilding and refurnishing a Town Infirmary by reason of there being no money available for such a purpose. Neither has the time available allowed a survey of the possibility of boarding out the inmates among the families in town or the cost thereof.
We do not recommend the rebuilding of the Infirmary if it is to be conducted in the same manner as it has been in the past.
We feel that the whole matter warrants a more com- plete and thorough investigation before a definite con- clusion is formulated. We suggest that a committee to consist of the members of the Board of Selectmen, the members of the Board of Public Welfare, the Town So- licitor, and ten Town Meeting Members, consisting of two Members from each Precinct, elected at this Meeting by the Members thereof, be authorized and directed to in- vestigate the whole matter of the care of such persons as have heretofore been cared for at the Town Infirmary, and to make report of their findings and recommenda- tions at a future Town Meeting.
If it should be decided to rebuild, we forcefully recom- mend that the matter be handled by a Building Com- mittee.
W. L. ADAMS, Chairman.
An Amendment was made that the Town Appropriate the sum of Thirty-Five Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Six Dollars and Thirty-Eight Cents ($35,166.38) from avail- able funds accruing to the Town on account of the adjust- ment of the fire loss at the Town Infirmary to the Excess and Deficiency Account.
