Board of Public Welfare
The Board of Public Welfare submits the following report for the year 1957.
Under the Old Age Assistance program, we added twenty cases to our rolls and dropped twenty-nine. We had twenty-eight applications, eight of which were found to be ineligible. On January 1, 1957, we had one hundred and thirty-one cases, but at the close of the year, we had only one hundred and twenty-two. During the year, the State Department of Public Welfare ordered mandatory increases of about sixteen per cent in all assistance budgets, which will increase the cost in 1958. Most of the increases were effective September first, but we had sufficient money left in our 1957 appropriation to take care of them. On October first, we took over six cases at the Town Infirmary, which is now operating as a boarding home for aged people. These cases can now be handled under Old Age Assistance at a saving to the town of over $9,000 per year. In 1936, the average monthly cost per case in this category was $23.30, while in 1958, it will be approximately $83.60.
