* This item represents the ledger balance. The actual cash is, however, $15,000.00 short as the result of the failure of the Granite Trust Company to account to the Town of Weymouth for $15,000.00 which they received from the Second National Bank of Boston with knowledge that such amount was designated as a transfer of said sum to the account of the Town of Weymouth in the Granite Trust Company.

REPORT OF DENTAL CLINIC
February 6, 1945
At the opening of the school year in September the dental clinic planned and accomplished the task of examining the children of the first six grades of all schools. This examination shows that out of 2266 pupils examined 1086 were found to need immediate dental care. This represents 47% of the total number of the pupils examined.
We have strived in every way possible to attend to as many cases as the facilities of this clinic will allow. The necessity of the dental clinic may well speak for its self through the analysis of the summary which follows:
Total number of patients
537
Total number of permanent fillings
623
Total number of deciduous 116
Total number of permanent extractions 66
Total number of deciduous extractions
168
Total number of prophylaxis treatments 152
Total amount of money collected $80.94
May we thank the untiring efforts of those who have helped so un- selfishly to make the dental clinic a success.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary A. Uracius, D. H.
