1,752,063.23


$2,552,626.92

Included in the totals above is $92,317.57 for federal taxes withheld from the pay of over 300 full and part-time employees. Payroll deductions for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds amounted to $4,860.63 and $9,012.36 for Blue Cross - Blue Shield dues.


Cemetery perpetual care and other trust funds, as well as the funds of the Retirement Board, all in the treasurer's custody, are listed on other pages of this report. The num- ber of pensioners again increased by one to 26 and the average monthly pension to $90.00.


Tax titles number 20 and amount to $1,489.60.


The normal growth of the department, plus the opening of 2 new school cafeterias, warrant more than the 2 days a week of clerical help available at present. Thanks are due to Lida A. Colquhoun for counting the parking meter money, to Sarah E. Wiss for recording earnings & deductions, and to John E. Gilcreast, Assistant Treasurer, for service in the summer.

Board of Public Welfare


The Board of Public Welfare submits the following re- port for the year 1952.


We added 33 cases to our Old Age Assistance rolls during the year 1952 and dropped 37 through death and other causes. There were 42 applications for this form of aid, and of these, 9 were found to be ineligible. When the year 1952 began we had 179 cases, and at the close of the year we were aiding 175. During 1952, we filed liens with the Registry of Deeds on all real estate owned by recipients as of January first, 1952, and in all cases which have been added since that time, where there is ownership of real estate. Several people have sold their property during the year, and we have collected $4844.04 for previous aid rendered. We be- lieve this new law to be very fair, and an effective way of re- covering aid granted to a person who leaves an estate.


Our Aid to Dependent Children form of assistance has re- mained about the same during 1952. At the start of the year we were aiding 15 cases, and at the close we had 14 cases on our pay roll.


Under General Relief, we have shown a reduction in case load and cost, due to the new form of aid called Disability Assistance. The total cost of General Relief for 1951 was $18,929.17, while this year it was reduced to $8833.69.


Disability Assistance is a program of assistance for needy persons found to be permanently and totally disabled. Sev- enty-five per cent of the cost of the program is borne by the Federal and State Governments, and all the cases aided have been transferred from our General Relief Program where there is no Federal or State contribution. We are aiding six individuals on this program.


113


At this time, we wish to thank all citizens and private or- ganizations who have assisted our department and con- tributed to the welfare of our citizens.


Respectfully submitted,


ROY E. HARDY, Chairman J. EVERETT COLLINS SIDNEY P. WHITE

The income from perpetual care funds for the year amounted to $2,455.39 dollars. Monies received from an- nual care, sale of lots, foundations interments, etc., amount- ed to $5,604.40. There were 29 foundations set during the year.


Three hundred and fifty feet of permanent hard black top road was constructed on the East side of the cemetery.


Eighty feet of curbing was installed on the West side of the cemetery.


Three hundred feet of the stone wall bordering Abbot St. has been recapped.

Office of Veterans' Service


The ninth annual report on Veterans' Services and Reha- bilitation finds us repeating the duties of the years imme- diately following World War II. Each week, veterans are re- turning home from service eager to start civilian life again. Just as the veterans of the recent war had opportunities for education, job training, home and business loans, and gra- tuities such as unemployment compensation, insurance, mus- tering-out pay, combat pay, and many other benefits, so, too, do the Veterans of the Korean Campaign.


The rotation of troops has been in full stride since last June and will continue to increase our veteran population until the Korean trouble comes to an end. The majority of the new veterans are much younger than those of World War II and have very definite ideas as to what they wish to do. Many plan to continue school or take up job-training.


Our estimated veteran population in Andover, including participants in all wars to date, should reach Twenty-three hundred during the year 1953. Many veteran laws are ex- tended to the wives, children, and dependent parents of veterans, providing they are in need, so our potential service embraces a large percentage of our fellow townsmen.


Despite the local textile slump and job shortage in this vi- cinity, the demand for monetary assistance has not been too heavy at any one time this past year. We have had, how- ever, a steady drain on our budget from our permanent cases which tend to increase yearly and include, for the most part, widows. Hospital and medical care through State Veterans' Benefits have been average, but requests for simi- lar care through the Federal Veterans Administration have shown an increase.


Photostating of discharge papers will increase this year as the veterans are required to present these copies when filing for benefits.


The State Legislators are contemplating a State Bonus for the new veterans similar to that granted World War II veterans. We expect this to be passed in 1953.


116


The number of conferences involving paper work during the year was 2,054. The main categories covered were: medical cases 171 ; pension applications 154 ; photostats 177 ; hospitalization 98; education 69; employment 120; insur- ance 89; housing 61. The remaining cases cover 27 other different categories.


During the year 1952, 20 veterans died - 12 World War I; 4 World War II; 2 Korean Campaign ; 1 Spanish War ; and 1 Peacetime Veteran.


.


We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all members of the local veteran organizations for their loy- al and reverent respect to our deceased veterans throughout the year. They have responded to all requests made by the next-of-kin at time of burial.


The co-operation of all veteran organizations and their ever willing spirit to work along with us is most gratifying and we are deeply grateful to them.


Respectfully submitted,

Fourth Annual Report of the Andover Housing Authority


Nineteen hundred and fifty-two was the second full year of occupancy of the Andover Housing Project.


Two new members were appointed to the Andover Hous- ing Authority in 1952. Garrett J. Burke was appointed by the State Housing Board to the Authority and Thomas R. Wallace was appointed by the Board of Selectmen to fill the unexpired term of Ernest N. Hall. Ernest N. Hall was Chairman of the Authority in 1952, but on October 1, Mr. Hall resigned from the Authority. The Authority then elected Mr. Hall Executive Director, which position he has been filling since that date.


There was a turnover of about fifteen families in the Pro- ject in the year 1952. Most of the families leaving the Pro- ject bought or built homes of their own. The Authority has only a few applications for housing on file and it is suggested that any veterans desiring accommodations in the Project file their application at the Authority office on Morton Street.


Continued study of the heating problem at the Project resulted in the installation of storm windows on all corner apartments in the Project and the outside weather controls were adjusted to furnish heat during the night. Plans are now being made to increase the parking area in the Project in an effort to accommodate one car for each apartment in the Project.


James E. Manning, the manager of the Project, is doing an excellent job and has received splendid cooperation from the tenants in the Project.


Winthrop Newcomb, the Chairman of the Authority, is not seeking reelection to the Authority at the Town election in March of 1953, and will, therefore, retire from the Ando-


118


ver Housing Authority. Mr. Newcomb has been a member of the Authority since it was set up by the Town in 1948, and during that time Mr. Newcomb has rendered invaluable service to the Authority. He has served as Treasurer and Chairman during his years on the Authority and he will be missed by the remaining members of the Board. The Town of Andover is indeed indebted to Mr. Newcomb for the time and effort he has put into his work as a member of the Au- thority.


The payment to the Town of Andover in lieu of taxes for the year 1952 was $1249.07.


The members of the Andover Housing Authority as of December 31, 1952 are Winthrop Newcomb, Chairman; Franklin Haggerty, Vice-Chairman; Thomas R. Wallace, Treasurer; Charles G. Hatch, Secretary; Garrett J. Burke, Assistant Treasurer.


A balance sheet and statement of operations for the nine months period ending December 31st, 1952 is attached.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES G. HATCH, Secretary
