To the Town Manager :
The Saugus Board of Public Welfare herewith submits its Annual Report for the year 1957.
In view of the fact that monthly reports summarizing the operations of the department are submitted this report will not be a lengthy one.
Although our general activity and purpose to assist and care for persons in need, in the community, within the framework of the four categories of public assistance has re- mained unchanged, because of dynamic economy and legislative changes in payments and program the year has been a busy one. Our caseload has decreased slightly on Old Age Assistance but has increased on Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance.
For the first time, the department has had five full time employees throughout the year. The staff consisted of one Agent, two Social workers, one Principal Clerk and one Senior Clerk. During the course of the year we did have some turnover in the Social workers. The department is still in need of a Junior Clerk in order to reach the goals that we set three years ago and that is to administer the public assistance programs with sufficient adequately trained personnel with the greatest possible service to the people in the Town at the lowest possible cost.

On Old Age Assistance, our principal activity, we had an average caseload of 203 with a high in April of 208 and a low in December of 195 and carried over to 1958 200 cases still active. Total expenditure for the year $217,765.03 which includes payment to other cities and towns for Saugus cases. Average payment per case for the last month in which figures are available is $90.04. The slight increase in the total expenditures, despite drop in caseload, is due to 5.7% cost of living increase given to all cases and an increase of $8.00 per month in the fuel allowance.
On this category there was beginning to be notice- able activity in the area of collections under liens on real property of clients. We recovered a total of $21,000.00 ap- proximately 45% of this is returned to surplus revenue and the balance is credited to our Federal accounts.
The Aid to Dependent Children category had an average of 18 cases with a low of 15 in June and a high of 19 in Octo- ber and November and there will be carried over until January 1958 18 active cases. Total expenditures for the year, in this category were $22,724.82. Average payment per case for the last month in which figures are available is $105.15. Increased expenditures in this category were also affected by the cost of living increase and change in fuel allowance. Although the caseload remains fairly constant there is a never ending variety
218
- 3 -
of social problems that create the dependency in the first place. Good case work practice seeks as its goal solution to these problems and prevention of their repetition during the adult life of the children involved. Since the family is the basis of society something should be done in the way of strict- er legislation concerning divorce and remarriage in order to prevent community being saddled with responsibilities that properly belong elsewhere.
The Disability Assistance category had an average caseload of 17 with a high of 18 in February and December . 17 cases being carried to January 1958. Total expenditures for the year were $19,555.51. Average payment per case for the last month in which figures are available is $93.58. Ex- penses for this type of aid included increased cost of living and fuel allowance. This caseload remains static inasmuch as the client usually leaves the rolls only through death or re- moval from the community. Attempts at rehabilitation have been made but results are difficult to assess.
On the General Relief category the average caseload was 8 with a high of 12 in March and a low of 5 in September and October; 5 cases being carried over to January 1958. Total expenditures for the year, in this category, were $16,527.41. Our activity in this category was just about the
219
- 4 -
same as last year although there was a greater turnover in cases due to short term unemployment. The principal reason for increase in total expenditures was due to hospitalization of one patient that cost over $1,500.00.
We still are holding, in abeyance, bills for 1956 and 1957 for the care of Saugus settled children in the care of the State, because the Attorney General has not ruled whether or not communities are still liable after the most recent amend- ments to the Child Protection Laws. Should we ultimately, be required to pay this expense it will amount to $2,800.00. Total operating expenses for the department in 1957 were as follows:
Administration (salaries and expenses ) $22,121.27
Aid 276,572.77
Expenditures for Admin. - O.A.A. Salaries -$14,784.65

In conclusion Saugus Board of Public Welfare wishes to express its appreciation to the Manager and several other de- partment heads who, during the course of the year, were instru- mental in finding employment for some of our cases and to all other officials and employees for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. KEANE, Agent
Approved by the Board of Public Welfare:
Ernest M. Hatch, Chairman Walter T. Brander, Secretary George A. Anderson

In accordance with the request of the Town Manager, I herewith submit my annual report of expenditures for the year 1957.
Each year there has been a slight increase in the number of active cases handled through this department. The past year there were one Spanish War, 16 World War I, 35 World War II and 5 Korean War cases covering a total of 115 persons benefiting. The total costs in cash covering the year amounting to $17,178.75 compared to $14,850.00 for the previous year shows a net increase in cost of $2328.75. The rising costs to the department is due mostly to increased medical and hospital bills.
Late in September it was noted that resources for the depart- ment had dwindled considerably and it was necessary that a request for additional funds be transferred to carry through to the end of the year. In view of the above and the possibilities of an economic recession, I have asked for a slight increase in the appropriation for the year 1958 in order that the work of the department can be covered in a fair and impartial manner.
My thanks and appreciation are extended to the other depart- ments for their help and cooperation in carrying on the work.
