Effective January 1, 1964 legal settlements on Old Age Assistance and General Relief are to be abolished and replaced with a residence law similar to that which applies to the other three categories of public assistance. At the same time the State is to increase its reimbursement under Old Age Assistance by 31/2% and will reim- burse for 20% of all expenditures under General Relief.
We again wish to express our appreciation to the Police Department for their usual prompt and considerate service in moving recipients of public assistance to and from nursing homes and hospitals.

BOARD OF HEALTH
E. WALLACE DONALD, Chairman
ROBERT H. BESSOM, M.D.
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The number of births reported for Swampscott residents total 160. This is a decrease of 16 from our overall total of 176 for the corresponding period of last year. Six of the births were prema- ture with two fatalities.
One hundred and thirty-eight deaths occurred among our residents this year, providing a crude death rate of 10.3 per thousand population.
The average age was 68.2; diseases of the Heart and Circulatory System con- tinue to lead the causes of Death with 73, followed by Cancer with 19, Res- piratory System 15, Prematurity 1, Acci- dents 6, Diseases of the Nervous System 20, and 4 Miscellaneous causes.

The incidence of Communicable Dis-
EDWARD L. CASHMAN, JR., M.D.
eases dropped slightly from last year. This is the eighth consecutive year with no cases of polio which can be attributed to the high level of immunity in the community. The department held clinics in schools and various points throughout the town during 1963 to administer Sabin (Oral) vaccine Type II to com- plete last year's immunization; also Type I and III to those persons not previously done. The Health Department is always on the alert for further immunization programs as the need arises.
For the fourth consecutive year there were no cases of Whooping Cough, which reflects our immunization pro- gram for specific diseases. Records show that 95% of our school children had re- ceived basic immunization before enter- ing school and annual booster immuniza- tion of the first, sixth and 11th grade pupils maintain a high level of immunity in the school children.
One case of Tuberculosis was reported and has been receiving drug therapy at home. Essex County Sanatorium is now closed for the care of Tuberculosis pa- tients and in the future any new cases of tuberculosis will be hospitalized in Middlesex Sanatorium, Waltham, Mass. Clinic facilities at the Essex Sanatorium are still in operation, but in the near future the State Department of Public Health is relocating the facilities and at this moment the exact place of location is unknown. In contrast to what the general public thinks tuberculosis still
133
remains a major Public Health problem as long as there are active cases which have not been detected and treated. This can only be accomplished by more con- centrated case finding methods, follow- up of active and arrested cases; contacts and screening programs. This depart- ment's activities in tuberculosis control for the past year included 164 visits to arrested and active cases, 210 visits to contacts and suspected cases and a Tine Testing program in the community schools. A total of 596 pupils in Kinder- garten, Grade 7 and 11 were Tine tested with a result of 8 positive reactors being found.
Dental defects among our school chil- dren continues to be a major problem as indicated by our semi-annual inspection program in the kindergarten through the sixth grade. We regret that it was neces- sary for one of our dentists, Dr. Edgar Leach, to resign. His interest in our den- tal health program has always been greatly appreciated. Dr. Jerome Gordon was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Leach.
The School Health Program at both St. John's Parochial School and Hillel Academy has been planned and carried out under the direction of the Health Department. Vision and Audiometer Testing was done in compliance with the Massachusetts School Health Law. The majority of the physical examinations were performed by family physicians, a system which has proven of great value to the department as well as the chil- dren. The Public Health Nurse has been
available at all times for conferences with the parents and teachers in relation to Health problems.
At the annual Rabies Clinic held in September, 326 licensed dogs were inocu- lated for rabies protection. An additional 57 received the vaccine privately.
Routine Inspection and samples from our Town Bathing Beaches and Swim- ming Pools indicate these facilities were relatively free from pollution this year. Chlorination and partial diversion of Stacey Brook continued to produce satis- factory results at Kings' Beach.
The Board of Health is pleased that construction to take care of drainage and sewage at Little's Point was started this past year.
The Mosquito and Noxious Weed pro- gram was again carried on throughout the town with a full time man in charge from June 11 through September 5.
The number of plumbing permits is- sued this year was 402 a decrease of 40 for the year 1962.
In conclusion, we wish to state that the Public Health Program is necessarily of a dynamic nature, always changing as needs change, with emphasis on all health problems which affect every per- son living in our community. Any addi- tional information regarding the Health Activities can be obtained in our office.
We wish to thank the Health Depart- ment personnel, all departments and many private citizens who have helped make our health programs possible.
PLANNING BOARD
GLENN W. BARTRAM, Chairman JAMES R. MADDOCK, Secretary ALEXANDER B. WAY, JR. JOHN F. MILO
RALPH L. WILLIAMS
The Board held fifteen meetings during the year including necessary hearings on Articles appearing in the Town Warrant. Several houses were built in Pilgrim Heights (originally the Wormwood development) and other locations. Considerable
134
time was required to arrive at a plan for rezoning the extensive original "Little Property" on Paradise Road. The revised By-law and Map have been completed and printed. A special Town Meeting was called and the new Zoning plus Map was accepted and has been incorporated in the revised By-law.
HOUSING AUTHORITY
LEONARD H. BATES, JR., Chairman RICHARD T. MCINTOSH, Vice-Chairman DAVID F. DOHERTY, Treasurer
JOHN A. MASSEY, Assistant Treasurer MARTIN C. GOLDMAN, Member AUSTIN D. Mosco, Director-Secretary
The Authority is pleased to submit its annual report for the year 1963 and hopes that it will be informative to all interested residents.
Seated (left to right) : Martin C. Goldman, Leonard H. Bates, Jr., Chairman, Richard T. McIntosh. Standing: David C. Doherty, John A. Massey.
The office of the Authority is located at 6 Duncan Terrace in the Golden Age Project. Regular and special meetings are held as often as necessary to carry out the business of the Authority. Annual
election of officers are held on the first Tuesday in April.
The Authority is an independent cor- poration from the Town. Four members
135
are elected by the voters of the Town and the fifth member is appointed by the Chairman of the State Housing Board for a five year term. The other four members are elected for a five year term with staggered expiration dates to guarantee a majority of experienced members to carry out the functions of the Authority. All vacancies are filled by vote of a joint meeting between the Authority and the Board of Selectmen until the next annual election, to fill the unexpired term.
All checks and withdrawals against the accounts of the Authority must be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman and Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer.
The Executive Director, Counsel, In- surance Brokers of Record and employees are all appointed by the Authority. It employes a call maintenance man at an hourly rate based on actual hours worked. Tradesmen are called as needed at the prevailing wage.
To date the Authority has jurisdiction for the operation of one Veterans Project and one Elderly Housing Project. Both these developments were constructed, are operated and maintained at NO COST to the Town.
Periodic inspection of grounds and apartments are made by the Authority and/or its representatives for both the aforementioned programs.
The following insurance policies are carried by the Authority: Fire, Public Liability, Moneys and Position Bond, Workmen's Compensation, Non-owner- ship Auto and Fire and Theft on office furniture. All the policies are awarded and approved by the State Housing Board.
All positions are bonded for $10,000 each under the Blanket Bond of the State Housing Board.
Veterans Project 200-1
During the calendar year the Author- ity received a subsidy from the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts amounting to $10,150 which is the maximum or 21/2% of the total $406,000 bond issue that can be obtained for debt requirements and operations. The Debt Schedule re- quires that all bonds be retired in 1991 and/or a period of 40 years.
Major maintenance projects for the year consisted of exterior painting and replacement of seven kitchen floors and countertops.
The sum of $1,296 was paid to the Town during the year which represented a payment in lieu of taxes.
The Project consists of 9 multiple buildings, 4 apartments in each for a total of 36 apartments. There are 20 four room apartments and 16 five room apartments. There are 36 individual base- ments and gas heating units. Each unit is equipped with a gas range and electric refrigerator. All heating and utility charges, exclusive of water, are paid directly by the tenants.
During the year the Authority had a total of 6 move-outs which was the high- est turnover since the initial occupancy in 1950.
The total development cost for this 36 unit program amounted to $406,000 or $11,277.78 per apartment.
The annual re-examination of family income was carried out in accordance with approved procedures and rents were computed and established accordingly and became effective in September. Rent revisions are made as often as necessary depending on the financial circumstances of the individual families.
Preference is given to honorable dis- charged veterans of World War II and the Korean War in the low income group with children. Secondary preference is given to other groups as follows:
1. A single veteran 50 years old or over and a widow of a veteran
2. Elderly persons over 65 years old
3. Non-veterans in the low income group.

Elderly Housing Project 667-2
During the year the Authority came to the conclusion, as it was very evident from the numerous applications on file, that there was a definite need for a
SECOND Elderly Project. Consequently, the Authority consulted with the State Housing Board officials who concurred with the Authority's findings.
A tentative site was selected, a pre- liminary application was filed with the
139
State Board and approved. An Article will be placed in the 1964 Town War- rant for approval to proceed with the construction of this development, at NO COST to the Town.
The realization of this very worthy and needy program will rest entirely with the 1964 Town Meeting.
Once again the Authority is indebted to the various Town Departments (espe- cially the Department of Public Works) staff of the State Housing Board, group: and individual citizens for their coopera. tion and constructive comments offered during the year.
