REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The Board of Public Welfare presents its Annual Re- port for the year 1949.
The members of the Board of Public Welfare on Jan- uary 1, 1949 were Harold G. Roberts, Chairman, Gordon S. McCosh and Andrew Rae, Jr.
At the Annual Town Election held on March 5, 1949, Harold G. Roberts was re-elected a member of the Board of Public Welfare for three years.
At the organization meeting of the Board, following the Town Election and held on March 8, 1949, Harold G. Roberts was elected Chairman of the Board, Albert A. Saunders was appointed the Secretary of the Board, and appointed Supervisor of the Department of Public Wel- fare, and Edmund J. Priestley was appointed Supervisor of Old Age Assistance and Aid To Dependent Children Division.
The Board of Public Welfare, as Directors of the Ply- mouth Town Infirmary appointed for the 43rd consecu- tive year, Russell L. Dickson the Superintendent and Sarah A. Dickson the Matron of the Plymouth Town In- firmary.
The year 1949 presented a steadily increasing demand for Public Service and Public Assistance. 245 cases were granted "outside" assistance during the year, represent- ing 612 persons. 143 new applications were approved for assistance and an additional 118 were interviewed and
-194-
referred to other private or public agencies or were de- nied Public Assistance for various reasons. 147 cases were closed during the year and 62 cases re-applied again during the year for assistance. The high point in the num- ber of cases given assistance came in December with 168 cases and the low point came in July with 103 cases re- ceiving assistance. The average for the year was 126.36 cases assisted weekly.
The customary social and health problems, aggravated by the "loss of employment because of layoff or dis- charge", "illness of the wage earner" "loss of the wage earner because of death or absence from the home" and "the loss of contributions from relatives outside the home" in the most part were responsible for the increas- ing demand for public assistance.
60% of the applications for assistance were caused by the "loss of employment because of layoff or discharge"; 12% for "illness or disablement"; 7% for "loss of wage earner in home by death or absence"; 5% "loss or de- crease of contributions from relatives outside of the home" and the remaining 16% for various reasons.
The year 1949 closed with 159 open cases receiving "outside" assistance, 123 of which were with a financial settlement in Plymouth, 17 cases with settlements in other cities and towns, and 19 cases were without settle- ment and a responsibility of the Commonwealth.
At the Annual Town Meeting held on March 26, 1949 the Finance Committee recommended and the Town Voted $80,550. for Welfare Assistance which was not sufficient to meet the requirements of the Welfare De- partment and it was necessary to request the Special Town Meeting on September 29, 1949 to appropriate $4,000. This additional amount also failed to meet the
-195-
unexpected increasing demands upon the Department and at the close of business on December 31, 1949 it was found that committments had been made by the Depart- ment to meet the emergency of an amount of $5,079.33. This amount will be placed in an article in the regular warrant for the March 1950 Town Meeting.
INFIRMARY
The services and facilities of the Town Infirmary were extended during the year to 15 persons. We lost three persons by death during the year and one was transferred to the Town of Settlement.
Only the most urgent repairs were made during this year and the increase in food costs were partially off-set by the use of a limited amount of surplus commodities furnished by the State Department of Public Welfare.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. ROBERTS, Chairman GORDON S. McCOSH ANDREW RAE, JR.

REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Citizens of the Town of Plymouth :
Presented herewith is the annual report of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance for 1949.
The Old Age Assistance program, in both cities and towns of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is handled through the "state plan" as approved by the Federal Gov- ernment in order to meet their requirements and receive any reimbursement from either the Government or the State for the aid rendered to Old Age Assistance re- cipients.
The Town of Plymouth Bureau of Old Age Assistance accepted the State Mandatory Budget and all cases are figured with the State Budget as basis for all grants. Every Old Age Assistance recipient's budget is figured in- dividually according to the State Budget, which states the amount to be allowed for food, fuel, rent, clothing etc., and the budget varies considerably according to client's living conditions whether he is living alone, boarding out, or living in a family group.
The Legislative Statutes of Massachusetts require that in order to be eligible for Old Age Assistance, a person must be 65 years of age, a citizen, and a resident of Mass- achusetts for three out of the last nine years, and to be in need.
There have been a number of changes in the Legisla- tive Statutes this year and effective as of Sept. 29, 1949 Chapter 486 stated that a recipient of Old Age Assistance
-197-
may retain the cash surrender value in life insurance to the amount of $1,000., instead of $500, as previously al- lowed. Also effective Oct. 28, 1949, Chapter 622 increased the cash assets allowed from $300 to $500 individually and a joint deposit between husband and wife to $1,000, instead of $600 as previously allowed.
In November, the State Legislature under Chapter 766 increased the State reimbursement rate for hospital care to the needy individuals from $8. per day to $10. In ad- dition, the Legislature passed the following Chapter 796 effective Dec. 1, 1949 which provided for an additional item in the Old Age Assistance budget to be known as "Leisure Time Activities" for all recipients at the rate of $4.00 monthly. It further stated that "cities and towns" making payments under this paragraph shall be reim- bursed by the Commonwealth to the full amount whereof.
It has been increasingly difficult to administer Old Age Assistance in Massachusetts due to the drastic changes in the Old Age Assistance rules and regulations, and the additional amount of $4.00 monthly for "Leisure Time Activity", which was added to every budget, increased the cost of Old Age Assistance in the Town of Plymouth approximately $2,000 monthly, which will make an in- crease of $24,000 yearly to cover just this one item.
The Federal Government and the State pay a substan- tial part of the cost for Old Age Assistance and in addi- tion to the amount that the Federal Government contri- butes toward the cost of aid, it is now contributing ap- proximately 50% of the salaries and other administration expenses.
A total amount of $377,756.53 was spent for Old Age Assistance in 1949 of which $154,961.08 was received from the Federal Government and the State's payments
-198-
were $150,471.11, leaving a balance of $72,324.34 to be met by the Town of Plymouth.
The amount requested at the Town Meeting in March was reduced by $11,601., but fortunately it was not neces- sary to ask for more than $5,500., at the Special Town Meeting held in October, 1949 to meet the expenses of the year.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. ROBERTS, Chairman GORDON S. McCOSH ANDREW RAE, JR.

AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
To the Citizens of the Town of Plymouth:
Presented herewith is the annual report of the Board of Public Welfare for the Aid to Dependent Children program for 1949.
The Aid to Dependent Children program comes under the Social Security Act of the Federal Government, and is administered in accordance with the State plan for Massachusetts which conforms with that act. The State Department of Public Welfare issues the rules and regu- lations with which the various cities and towns must com- ply in the administration of this category of assistance. A regular mandatory budget is also issued by which all cases must be figured. These budgets are changed when necessary by the State Department of Public Welfare to conform with the rise or decline in the cost of living.
Aid granted is for dependent children under the age of sixteen, or under the age of eighteen, if still going to school, who have been deprived of parental care and sup- port because of the death of either parent, divorce, de- sertion, separation, mental or physical incapacity of the parent, or commitment of the parent to a penal institu- tion. This aid is given to the mother or the relative who is caring for the child so that a suitable home may be pro- vided for the child, and proper care given.
Both the Federal Government and the State of Mass- achusetts contribute towards the expenses for this type of assistance. The State pays one-third of the entire cost, and the Federal Government is now paying on the basis of one-half of the amount spent each month up to $27.00 for the first child in the family, and one-half of the
-200-
amount spent each month up to $18.00 for each additional child in the family, plus an amount of $3.00 per month per child. This participation from the Federal is always two months in arrears.
The total cost for this program in 1949 was $96,685.65. Receipts from the Federal Government amounted to $24,685.65, and an estimate amount of $32,228.55 is due from the State leaving the cost to the Town of Plymouth, $39,771.45.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. ROBERTS, Chairman GORDON S. McCOSH ANDREW RAE, JR.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1949
The Cemetery Commissioners present herewith their report for the year 1949 :
Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries
There was considerable work done on the trees in Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries during the year of 1949 and we hope to plant a number of trees and shrubs next year. Part of the link fence around the cemeteries was painted and we plan to do more of it in 1950.
The Town Engineer has completed a survey of the available space for lots in these cemeteries that we may know the number of years it will take to use up all the space. All maps and water plans have been brought up to date.
There were 1330 yards of hard surface applied to the roads in 1949.
Approximately $8,400.00 was returned to the Town in 1949 for the care of lots, sale of lots and graves, burials etc. We are asking for an appropriation of $10,000.00 for the maintenance and $2,000.00 for improvement and em- bellishment.
Burial Hill
An additional twenty-five trees, comprised of European Lindens, Norway Maples and European Beeches, were planted on Burial Hill this year.
A new road was built at the So. Russell Street entrance and approximately 660 yards of walk resurfaced.
-202-
The old tombs and a section of the stone wall were re- paired and pointed. The tool house was painted and a gate erected at the rear of the First Church. Many of the historical monuments were repaired and reset.
We are asking for an appropriation of $3,000.00 for 1950.
The Outlying Cemeteries
Cedarville Cemetery was regraded where needed and the fence painted. Ten Norway Maple trees were planted in the old cemetery and a well and pump installed for the convenience of the lot owners. Approximately an acre of the new addition at Cedarville was cleared.
Monuments were repaired and straightened, the fence painted and old trees removed at the South Pond Cem- etery.
The oldest stone at the White Horse Cemetery was capped with granite and several other monuments re- paired.
A considerable portion of the fence around the Chilton- ville Cemetery was painted.
At Parting Ways Cemetery a rustic fence was built around the graves and a sign erected by the road giving a brief history of that cemetery.
We are asking for an appropriation of $2,300.00 for the Outlying Cemeteries for 1950.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. BLACKMER, Chm. RICHARD T. ELDRIDGE JOHN B. FINNEY
The Board of Cemetery Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Plymouth, Mass.
The Planning Board herewith submits its report for the year 1949.
The Planning Board met shortly after its appointment and organized with Allen D. Russell as its Chairman and Secretary.
Whereas there were several special committees ap- pointed at the Town Meeting to restudy many of the pro- jects which had previously been studied by the Planning Board, it was decided to spend no more time upon such subjects but to concentrate on the new duties added to the Planning Board's program by the acceptance of the Town of Chapter 41 Section 81 etc., at the 1949 Town Meeting.
The principal additional duty imposed on the Planning Board by this section is that of acting as a Board of Sur- vey. The duty of this Board is to see that all developments and subdivisions are so planned as to layouts, areas, width, grades and curvatures of streets as to conform to minimum requirements at least.
In an effort to discover what were the requirements in the Town of Plymouth we found that there are no such requirements in the Town By-Laws, nor any recorded decisions but that each case has been handled on its own merits and as the members of the Board of Selectmen in office at the time happened to think proper.
-204-
We accordingly requested the Town Engineer to draw up a set of rules, which in his opinion at least, set forth what should be minimum lot size, width etc. of streets and other pertinent matter. We also obtained from the Mass- achusetts State Planning Board, their recommended pro- cedure for applicants for surveys, forms to be used etc., together with their recommendations as to lot sizes, street widths and so on.
Both the Town Engineer and the State Planning Board were most helpful in outlining a subject with which we had had no experience at all.
During the year we had but one request for a plot lay- out approval. The information presented was of such a sketchy presentation that we requested complete plans and the filing of proper certificates, whereupon the ap- plicant considered the matter not worth his while and that application was withdrawn.
We earnestly recommend that the new Planning Board, which this year will be elected on the regular ballot, pro- ceed at their earliest convenience, to establish definite criteria and procedures in regard to their work as a Board of Survey. The matter is very complicated, re- quires much in the way of plot plans, applications, cer- tificates, permits and so on, and the public is entitled to some definite rules as to what will and will not be ac- ceptabl.e.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLEN D. RUSSELL,
Chairman.

ANNUAL NURSING SERVICE REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY NURSE ASSOCIATION
1948 - 1949
During the year October 1, 1948 through September 30, 1949, there were 4,445 visits made to patients in Ply- mouth and Kingston, showing an increase of 942 visits over those made last year. These included 4,276 visits for patients requiring Non-Communicable Disease Service ; 3,994 calls to homes and 282 visits by patients to the office. This service includes general bedside nursing care, treat- ments, surgical dressings, hypodermic medications and the teaching of the patient or family to carry on with further care. The remaining 169 visits included 5 for Communicable Disease Nursing ; 51 for Health Services -- including follow-up for supervision and health education of crippled children, infants, preschool and school child- ren, and adults; and 74 for Maternity Service to give in- struction in prenatal care and after care of the mother and newborn infant. There were no home deliveries at- tended by the nurses this year. 39 visits were made to persons found not to be in need of nursing care or not at home. 647 of all the visits were to patients in Kingston.
Of the total number of visits made, 1,338 were full pay, 514 part pay, and 2,070 free. The Association was reim- bursed for 386 visits made to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company policy holders and for 137 visits to John Han- cock Mutual Life Insurance Company policy holders. There were 1,014 free nursing visits of the total free visits made to patients receiving Old Age Assistance and
-213-
Welfare Aid, which is an increase of 160 visits over those made during the previous year.
18 Well Child Conferences were held during the year with Dr. Dorothea Moore, the examining pediatrician, as in previous years. 281 infant and preschool visits were made to these conferences which shows an increase of 71 examinations made over last year. In the spring, the Association had an extra room made available for their use as a conference room at the office at 10 Market Street. Since then the Well Child Conferences have been held there for children living in that part of town and at the Cordage Auditorium for those residing in North Ply- mouth and Kingston.
