REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE For the Year Ending December 31, 1947
To: The Town Manager and the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:
Porter, Russell H.
Carmel

The activities of the Department of Public Welfare for the year end- ing December 31, 1947, have included the following:

Administration of Old Age Assistance

Boarding of children in foster homes Operation of the Town Infirmary
The total expenditures by the Welfare Department for these various categories of Public Relief were $300,214.31. The sources from which all monies were received to meet the expenses, including administration, were as follows:
Appropriation from the Town $210,121.22
Money from the Federal Government alloted to us by the
Commonwealth
97,259.53

General Relief
Our case load on General Relief at the end of 1947 was fifty-eight cases, twenty-six of which are inmates at the Town Infirmary, and one hundred thirty-nine persons. Our case load has increased seven cases over December 31, 1946, and the outlook for the coming year is not too bright at the present time. Lay-offs are occurring in our local industries and persons applying for unemployment benefits are on the increase. Nine out of the ten persons applying for Welfare are the same ones who have been on our rolls for years. Although they were paid good wages during the war, no provisions were made for the future and, consequently, they have nothing to show for their period of prosperity.
The housing condition for a number of these people is deplorable but what can be done about it remains a problem.
The high cost of living creates individual problems in this particular type of relief and the large family with a small income cannot possibly survive without supplementary assistance. The help of several organiza- tions such as the local Community Fund, Good Will Society, Thimble Club Daughters, Salvation Army Fund and others have greatly benefited these unfortunates. It is all well and good to criticize the cost of relief but it must be remembered that we are dealing with human misery and, com- pared to the billions now being spent on foreign relief, our problem is minute.

Town Infirmary
The infirmary is the one spot supervised by the Welfare Department that gives one the feeling that we are really making it pleasant and com- fortable for a few who have never known the bright side of life as well as for those who have seen better days. They are all people that the writer is proud to call his friends. I do not understand why the citizens of Middle- boro do not take more of an interest in this institution. A visit to the home would make any one glad to think he has a share in it. I can think of a number of people who have the time and the qualifications to talk with these people and to offer, if nothing else, encouragement. But, prob- ably, their own interests are more important.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Crowell and their associates are to be com- mended for their accomplishments during the past year. I also want to thank the various organizations for their efforts and gifts. I want to especially thank Father McCarthy, Father Navien, the Rev. Edwards, the Rev. McNeill, the Friendship Troop of Girl Scouts, Junior Department of the Baptist Sunday School, Christian Endeavor, Hospital Club and the White Church Guild for their co-operation.
Some improvements were made at the home this past year with money left by a former inmate. We installed a new washing machine and re- plenished numerous household supplies that we were unable to obtain during the war. In the coming year, it is hoped that the buildings can be painted. All the outside work that was accomplished this year was done without the aid of outside help. Mr. Crowell and his assistant, Willard Jost, labored long hours to obtain results on the farm and .they are to be congratulated.
The total cost of the Infirmary for the year ending December 31, 1947, was $20,050.06; total receipts were $19,468.10; the net cost to the Town of Middleboro was $581.96. Our average number of inmates was 28 making the weekly cost per inmate of approximately $.40 (forty cents).
The total expenditures at the infirmary for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1947, were as follows:

Old Age Assistance
Our caseload on this category of relief has been steadily increasing during the past few months. At the end of 1947, we have 312 cases, an increase of nine over the same date last year. The cost of Old Age Assist- ance has advanced considerably and continues to increase every year. All budgets has been increased and medical costs have been revised upward so that we are now spending in the neighborhood of $225,000.00 per year. However, our net cost will be slightly lower because of increased federal participation. The Federal Government now pays one-half up to $45.00 per month plus $2.50 on each case; the State pays two-thirds of the balance.

Aid to Dependent Children
There is little change in this type of aid. All budgets have been revised upward and the cost of medical care is now an important factor for the advanced costs. Ever since the last war, it has been emphasized that children have proper medical and dental care and we are endeavoring to give them all that is required. The procedure of reimbursement on Aid to Dependent Children is the same as it was last year.

Maria L. H. Pierce Fund
No change has been made in this fund and the interest rate remains the same. It provides the Town Infirmary with newspapers and a few delicacies.
In closing my report for the year 1947, I would like to express my appreciation to my co-workers for their co-operation and to thank the Town Manager, the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE C. MCKAY, Welfare Agent.

REPORT OF THE GAS AND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Middleborough, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I herewith present the annual report of the Gas and Electric Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1947.
This report includes Operating Accounts, Revenues, Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Sheet, in the same form as in the Report to the Public Utilities, together with the Statement of Accounts.
Gas Department
This year has seen a large increase in requests for new services. Thirty-two were installed and eight hundred thirty-two feet of mains were laid. If materials are available it is hoped to be able to further extend the system to areas where a return may be made on the investment.
During the year extensive repairs have been made at the Gas Plant. These consisted of remodeling and laying a new roof, rebuilding the chim- ney, installing new doors, extensive painting inside and removal of old wornout equipment to make space available for carrying on' the work of the department.
A new truck and compressor have been added to the equipment which has helped greatly to expedite the work.
An examination of the present gas holder has been made by experts. Its condition was found to be such that extensive repairs should be made or a new holder constructed. On account of the high cost of repairs, it would appear to be more economical to construct a new holder. Our consumption has also increased to such an extent that the capacity of the present holder should be increased.
A revision of the present gas rate should be considered at once. Due to the rising cost of fuel, labor and supplies, an increase in the cost of gas delivered at our plant is expected. This is in line with rising costs of today.

Electric Department
The new switchboard purchased by this department has been set up and is operating. Additional panels, which will allow us to wholly elimi- nate the old board, have been ordered. It is expected that these will be delivered during the year. This will allow us to carry all our circuits on an up-to-date board.
During the year numerous requests for extensions and new services have been made. About four miles of extensions were constructed and one hundred forty-four new services were made. Maintenance work to strengthen our overhead system has been carried on. This has consisted of installing new poles, guying, trimming, replacing old wire when possible, both on the distribution system and service drops. Although there is much more to do, we feel that the system has been greatly strengthened and the results have been apparent.
In our underground system, considerable work has been done to eliminate conditions that have caused trouble. Temporary and open joints have been wiped and made waterproof. However, a dangerous con- dition still exists in the vault at the junction of Main and Center Streets. Here it is impossible to work without shutting down all the circuits. To eliminate this condition, it is recommended that a new large vault be con- structed where men may work with safety.
