Bureau of Old Age Assistance
To the Citizens of the Town of Swampscott:
The following is a report of the activities of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance during the past year:
The number of cases as of January 1, 1944, was 134; and at the close of the year ending December 31, 1944, there are 127 cases on our rolls.
During the year, a rent survey was made by our investigator, Mr. Redfern, and it was found that the amount allowed by the State Department for rent was insufficient. We received special permission to pay a larger amount and in that way were able to grant increases to many of our recipients.
There has been no new general budget issued this past year, but all cases have been reviewed and adjusted when there was a change in circumstances.
The exemptions on income of legally liable relatives have re- mained the same, namely:
Unmarried child living with parent
$ 728.00
Unmarried child living apart from parents 1,150.00
Married child with no children living apart from parents 1,725.00
Married child with 1 child living apart from parents 2,300.00
Married child with 2 children living apart from parents 2,875.00
Married child with 3 children living apart from parents 3,450.00
An Old Age Assistance recipient is allowed $3,000 equity in prop- erty, $1,000 or less insurance, and $300 in cash or personal property.
Recoveries in the amount of $1,844.34 were made during the year for aid rendered and this was done with the approval of the State Department.
We are pleased to state that all monies due the town have been collected.

CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT BOARD
1944]
Contributory Retirement Board
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
This is the eighth annual report of the Retirement Board.
In accordance with accepted fiscal policy we have continued to invest the major part of our funds in government bonds. The interest return on these equals that paid on industrial investments. In addi- tion we save the payment of a premium, which is necessary when we buy bonds of private corporations.
There has been increasing discussion and criticism of our system as compared with Federal Social Security, by the members. Five per- cent of an employee's pay is withheld for retirement purposes, whereas in the Federal System but one percent is deducted. Yet upon studying the Federal System we find that there is more adequate protection; provision for survivors, dependent children, etc. It is difficult for one to understand why it is that we pay so much and get so little. This matter has been brought to the attention of the present Commission of the State Legislature, and we have been told that it is hoped to present a bill to the Legislature, providing for more liberal allow- ances, and increased protection for survivors. Just what this Commis- sion will recommend we do not know, as their report is not yet available. When it is submitted your Board will study it, and if advis- able submit our own recommendations, and attempt to have the Legis- lature act upon them. However, it must be conceded, that because of the involved nature of the law, most Boards are not too familiar with its benefits as compared with Social Security provisions. Many feel that it would be better if we could become a part of the Federal Social Security. Yet when this has been proposed to other boards it has merely elicited fustian opposition, which would appear to value more highly regid adherence to an outworn tradition, than a careful evalua- tion of possible benefits. We believe that in time we will see vast im- provements in the system effected.
There were no retirements in 1944.
Three pensioners died: Thomas S. Carroll, Horace R. Parker and Leverett T. Holder; and two members: John E. Burns, Sr., and Leon L. Pappas.
Four members have withdrawn and fourteen new members have been accepted.

Report of Committee Appointed Relative to Elihu Thomson Estate
January 9, 1945.
The undersigned committee appointed b the Town Moderator April 17, 1944, by authorization of a vote of the Adjourned Annual Town Meeting under Articles 28 and 29 of the Warrant, submits its first report:
The vote of the Town Meeting was to accept and adopt the follow- ing recommendations:
"That the Town purchase the Elihu Thomson property on Monu- ment Avenue, Burrill Street and Elmwood Road for not exceeding $30,000.
"That the same be adapted and equipped for use as a Town Administration Building.
"That a Committee of five town meeting members be appointed by the Moderator with power in the name and behalf of the Town to make such purchase, adapt and equip the same for a Town Adminis- tration Building, including construction, renovating or remodelling, engage an architect, enter into contracts, and do all things necessary or incident thereto.
"That for the purchase of said property there be appropriated six thousand dollars for the tax levy of the current year and twenty- four thousand dollars to be raised by notes or bonds of the Town not exceeding ten years in total maturity.
"And that for the cost of construction, renovating, remodelling and equipping the same, the sum of $30,000 be raised by transfer from the Excess and Deficiency funds of the Town."
The Committee arranged purchase of the property for $30,000. Transfer of title from the Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company et als, Trustees, to the Town of Swampscott was made May 25, 1944.
J. Williams Beal Sons, 185 Devonshire Street, Boston, having been engaged as architects, drew plans and specifications for adapta- tion of the property for use as a Town Administration Building. Estimates were obtained. Application for necessary approval of priorities was made to the War Production Board. Delay on the part of the War Production Board held up approval until September 14, 1944.
Advertisements for bids were inserted in the Lynn newspapers and sent to contractors. Upon opening bids October 17, 1944, it devel- oped that all bids were in excess of the amount estimated for remod- elling. After some revision in plans and specifications, bids were re- advertised, and were opened on November 29, 1944. On November 30, 1944, the Committee voted unanimously to award the contract to Daniel Cunningham Co., the lowest bidder, at $25,700.
The necessary contract and bond having been executed and duly approved, Daniel Cunningham Co. proceeded at once with the work, which is now in process.
It is anticipated that the building will be ready for occupancy in April, 1945.

BOARD OF HEALTH
1944]
Board of Health
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
While surrounding communities have experienced an increase in the number of communicable diseases reported this year the number of diseases reported to the department were considerably less than reported during 1943.
Chicken Pox and Measles were the predominating diseases with Mumps showing increase during the month of December.
One case of Anterior Poliomyelitis (Infantile Paralysis), non- paralytic type, and two cases of Spinal Meningitis were reported.
One new case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis has been reported and three old cases were re-admitted to Essex Sanatorium for treatment. Two patients have been discharged from the sanatorium and one continuing treatment at home. One death has occurred during the year. There are three cases receiving sanatorium care at the present time.
One hundred and eight pupils in Grade XI at the High School and 10 pupils from other grades whose parents requested were given the Tuberculin Patch Test for Tuberculosis. Nine pupils reacted to the test and were X-rayed. Two childhood-type of Tuberculosis were found and those cases are now under the supervision of this depart- ment.
Thirty-six residents and five non-residents have been bitten by local dogs during the year and five residents were bitten by out-of- town dogs. Anti-rabic treatment was administered in one case be- cause of the location and severity of the bites.
One hundred and forty-nine dogs were inoculated against Rabies at the free clinics held in October and 158 owners reported that their dogs had been privately inoculated against the disease.
Outside of the Palmers Pond section of the town there were very few complaints about mosqutoes this year. However, in that section there were almost continual complaints in spite of the fact that the pond was given frequent oilings. The growth of cat-o-nine-tails in the pond has become so dense that it is absolutely impossible to reach large sections of the pond and therefore effective work cannot be done. Guests at the Hotel Preston and New Ocean House, residents within a radius of a quarter of a mile of the pond as well as the soldiers quartered beside the pond have experienced great discomfort from the pests. The mosquitoes that breed in this pond are of the type that breed among the roots of the cat-o-nine-tails and are par- ticularly difficult to reach under existing conditions.
In our report for the year 1943 we recommend that the matter of obtaining State action in the elimination of the mosquito nuisance at Palmers Pond be referred to the Town Counsel for investigation and study and such action, legislative or otherwise, as he might deem necessary to bring about the abatement of the nuisances.
In accordance with our recommendations the Board of Selectmen did refer the matter to the Town Counsel, who recommended that the matter be referred to Representative Lester B. Morley.
We understand that Mr. Morley has made a thorough investiga- tion and will make a detailed report to the Board of Selectmen of his findings and recommendations in connection therewith. This pond is a
104

[Dec. 31
Great Pond of Massachusetts and under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Public Works and the abatement of the nuisance should be their responsibility. We sincerely hope that the citizens will insist that the matter be pushed to a conclusion in order that the residents of that section of the town may be relieved of the discom- forting conditions with which they have had to contend for so many years.
Because of demands of private contractors and individuals for a place to dispose of their waste materials not collected by the regular collector a conference was recently held with the members of the Board of Park Commissioners relative to the possibility of opening a section at the rear of Phillips Park for the disposal of such material.
At the conclusion of the conference the matter was taken under consideration by the Board of Park Commissioners, who have not as yet informed us as to their final decision.
We firmly believe that the town should provide a dumping place for the convenience of private contractors and individuals who have waste material that is not collected under the terms of our regular contract. However, if such action is taken ample means should be pro- vided to care for the dump if the conditions which usually emanate from such places are to be eliminated.
There are several unsewered streets of the town where overflow- ing cesspools are now creating conditions that are not only continual sources of complaint but fast becoming menaces to the public health.
The construction of dry wells in the street and drains into abut- ting property have furnished temporary relief but these conditions cannot be continued for any time without causing further trouble.
All of the conditions have been called to the attention of the Water and Sewerage Board, who are recommending the construction of sewers to care for the situations.
A detailed report of the work of the department will be found in the reports of our various officers.
