REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The first meeting of your Finance Committee was held June 24, 1954 at which time Robert Seymour was elected Chairman, William A. Scherff, Vice-Chairman and A. Charles Waghorne, Secretary. Regular meetings were held during the balance of the year.
In the middle of January, 1955, Mr. Seymour resigned because of illness and on January 20th Newton E. Hyslop was appointed by the Moderator to fill Mr. Seymour's term and on the same day was elected Chairman of the Committee.
As this report goes to press the real work of the Finance Com- mittee is in full swing. Over 60 budgets plus Special Articles must be thoroughly gone over. This also means consultations with the Selectmen, Heads of Departments and petitioners of Special Articles.
During the year the following transfers were made from the Reserve Fund:
May 26-To Workmen's Compensation $ 132.51
October 20-To Town Clerk's Dept. 52.50
October 20-To Veterans Benefits 1,500.00
November 16-To Health Dept. 700.00
December 1-To Snow and Ice Removal 1,500.00
$3,885.01
116
We wish to thank the Town Departments and Officials for their help and cooperation. It is greatly appreciated by every member of the Committee.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE AND BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During the past year there has been a slight decline in the number of cases aided by the Duxbury Board of Public Welfare and Bureau of Old Age Assistance. In the category of Old Age Assistance the case load decreased from an average of 74 in 1953 to an average of 71 in 1954. In this category there was also a decrease of over two dollars per month in the cost per case. This was due in large part to the increase in benefits from Old Age and Survivors' Insurance, since according to State regulations an amount equal to the increase from Old Age and Survivors' Insur- ance is deducted from the checks sent out by the Board of Pub- lic Welfare.
Aid to Dependent Children cases averaged five per month, one less than the previous year.
The monthly case load in Disability Assistance was 9 or 10, two. less than in 1953. The average cost was $62.00 per case per month.
A major change in procedure was inaugurated July first to conform with State requirements. This was the adoption of the Medical Plan of the Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare. The two basic provisions of the new plan are that payment for all medical care and prescribed medication is made directly to the vendor, and that all medical services must be authorized in writ- ing. The purpose of this plan is to exercise greater control over
118
the continually mounting medical expenses of the Department of Public Welfare, without sacrificing any service necessary for the welfare of those receiving public assistance.
Because the case load was lower than had been anticipated, and because of the saving due to Old Age and Survivors' Insurance benefits, the Board has not expended the total amount appropriated for its use this year. The amount to be returned to the Town is $932.71.
The Board of Public Welfare recovered $2,654.12 under Old Age Assistance, as result of the lien law. The sum of $141.00 was also recovered in 1954 for aid previously granted under General Relief.
The Board of Public Welfare wishes to express their appreci- ation to the Selectmen, and to the Police Department, for their help and cooperation during the past year.

To the Selectmen of Duxbury, Massachusetts :
With full consideration of the needs for space and facilities for further educational and recreational uses for various groups of the young people of Duxbury, your committee has consulted among themselves and with competent architectural, builder, and insur- ance advice, beg to submit herewith a sketch that would fulfill the present needs in this direction.
While these four rooms (two up and two down with additional storage space in a small attic) would be available as general pur- pose rooms for many activities, the principal use at the start would be for Boy Scout and 4-H groups. Storage facilities would also be used for Little League and Pony League.
The suggested rooms would have a base floor area of 720 square feet; a stairway to the second floor and one to the base- ment heating plant, also one outside entrance as well as two in- side entrances.
The information received from insurance advisers is that plac- ing this addition over the present central heating plant is practical, quite usual and would increase the insurance cost very little, if any, out of proportion.
The architectural and builder's advice to us is that such an addition would cost on an estimate sum, $8,500. We would sug- gest that a limit of expenditure be placed at a sum not to exceed the total received by the town in the recent sale of the Village and Point Schools.
In light of the definite need for additional facilities for the ex- panding activities of a rapidly growing group of young people, we, as a committee, recommend that this addition be approved.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. WILLIS FRANK P. METCALF DOROTHY WENTWORTH MALCOLM C. BROCK WALTER F. KOPKE
