Patrol-Cleaning streets throughout the business district, from April to November. This also cares for a man two days a week in Greenwood and lower Water Street.
Patching-Of this amount $4900 was spent in rebuilding large patches and shoulders on Lowell Street, from Vernon to Salem Street. From Lowell Street to the former location of the Boston and Maine Rail- road crossing on Salem Street, the street was widened to eliminate the old car track location. The balance of the account was distributed over the entire town.
Street Cleaning-The usual spring cleaning of gutters throughout the town. This item includes labor and truck hire.
Cleaning Catch Basins-Twice a year the entire system is cleaned. Those at the foot of hills are cleaned oftener during the summer months.
Tar and Sand-The following streets were tarred and sanded:
Melvin Street-Hart Street to Nahant Street
Oak Avenue
Nahant Street-Farm Street to Oak Street
Oak Street-Lee Square to Francis Avenue
Winn Street-North Avenue to Railroad Bridge North Avenue-Church Street to Winn Street Cordis Street-Main Street to Vernon Street Pleasant Street-Cordis Street to Wave Avenue Sweetser Street-Pleasant Street to Court Street Central Street-Pleasant Street to Court Street Aborn Avenue-Main Street to Pleasant Street White Avenue-Main Street to Pleasant Street Tuttle Street-Chestnut Street to Albion Street Broadway-Albion Street to Nelly Street Main Street-Crescent Street to Salem Street

Repairs to Equipment-This item includes repairs to all equipment used by the department.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Repairs to Guard Rail-1000 feet of cable guard rail erected on New Salem Street, west of Preston Street. After the brook, which runs along beside the road, had been dug and widened, it became a hazard, and for the Town's protection the guard rail was installed.
Miscellaneous-With this item all of the jobbing and unexpected work was done.
Supplies-This account is for all supplies used by the department.
New Equipment-The budget called for the purchase of a twenty-eight thousand pound gasoline-driven road roller. This purchase was made.
Unpaid Bills, 1930-$1463.15 was allotted to cover unpaid bills of 1930.
Snow and Ice-During the early months of the year, considerable ice had to be contended with, which required sanding. The amount of this item was spent for labor, street and sidewalk plowing, material, and repairs to plows.
Rebuilding-The following streets came under this item-Melvin Street, Nahant Street, Oak Avenue, Oak Street, Foundry Street and Maple Street.
Albion Street resurfacing from Main Street to the railroad tracks at North Avenue. After the road had been graded off with a coarse mix, or binder, a one and one-half inch mixed top was laid. The bottom coarse mix or binder prevents rolling or pushing of the top.
Albion Street from North Avenue to Byron Street was widened in old car track location.
North Avenue from Winn Street to the Reading line, one car track was removed and the former location of the track was filled with gravel, and an application of tar applied.
Repairs to Old Sidewalks-Patching and repairing old tar and gravel sidewalks.
Repairs to Main Street-An item inserted in the budget to care for and maintain Main Street from the railroad crossing to the Melrose line. This was for care previous to the resurfacing.
Construction-Main Street. Before the actual laying of the top could commence, it was necessary to fill all depressions with trap rock, and then penetrate with asphalt. There were places where the stone was six or seven inches in thickness, and these spots required much penetration. A one and one-half inch hot mixed top was laid over this sub-base. The road was carried thirty-nine and one-half feet in width, the entire dis- tance. From the Melrose line to Hart's Hill gateway the distance is one and four-tenths miles. The cost per square yard of the entire surface com- pleted was one dollar and eleven cents.
Drainage-Work during the year consisted of cleaning and replacing damaged pipe on the drain which runs in the rear of the Miller Piano Factory, in the rear of the Fire Station to Crescent Street. This drain has given considerable trouble for a number of years. It is now in good con- dition, and no more trouble is expected for some time. The drain on Main Street, south of the Greenwood Bridge, was relaid, and a bad condi- tion of long standing was remedied.
91
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
Sidewalks-On both sides of Avon Street a granolithic walk was laid. The north and south corners at North Avenue were cut back and granite curb laid to give a better approach to the street. On the south side the sidewalk was continued on to Main Street in front of the Odd Fellows' Block.
Albion Street-Before the resurfacing of the street could take place, much of the curb had to be relaid.
Prospect Street-A curbing was installed from Nichols Street to Elm Street on the northerly side of the street. Before the curb was placed, the sidewalk could not be kept in good condition because of the wash in heavy rains.
Lake Street-Granite curb was installed from Albion Street, southerly.
Wharton Park-A gravel sidewalk topped off with stone dust was built from Salem Street to Lowell Street. There is still some work to be done on this project. A retaining wall is to be built and lawns shaped down to meet walk.
Slow signs were placed on North Avenue at Richardson Avenue, West Water Street, Armory Street and also on Green Street near Main.
Traffic lines were painted about the Square and center line on the new surface on Main Street.

Under this item the work started last year through the Heywood- Wakefield properties was continued. The forty-eight inch concrete pipe was laid to meet the old underground culvert on the west side of the Railroad Crossing on Water Street. This completes this project as far as outlined. Four hundred feet of thirty-six inch concrete pipe was laid in drain across Grafton Street, Greenwood. All drainage brooks in Green- wood were cleaned and widened and culverts and pipes under streets were cleaned or replaced.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Report of Dept. of Public Welfare
December 31, 1931.
To the Citizens of Wakefield:
In view of the great public interest in Welfare Work during the past year, the Public Welfare Department believes that the citizens of the town should be acquainted with the major problems of the board and the policies it deems necessary to follow in aiding those in need of Town assistance.
The position of a Welfare Board in any community is not a happy one and it cannot reasonably expect to avoid a great amount of criticism both just and unjust.
Acting as it does as the representative of the townspeople as a whole to aid those in need, it also has the duty to protect the town against those who harbor their own resources, even conceal them, and attempt to secure help from the town on the plea that they are destitute.
It is necessary, therefore, that the board surround itself with safe- guards even though those who are dishonest are comparatively few. For this reason, a rather detailed history is required of all applicants for aid. Cases aided are investigated as far as possible, and orders for groceries in temporary cases are drawn on specific stores. In addition, the male appli- cants who are physically able, if aided for more than a week or two, are required to report to the town farm or one of the town departments for work.
These safeguards are irksome to many who seek town aid, yet Public Welfare experience has proved them essential to prevent fraud.
The applicant's history is taken in considerable detail not only to assist in preventing fraud, through direct questions with respect to re- sources, but also to determine accurately the settlement of the case under the state laws governing settlements.
If the applicant has not been a resident of Wakefield for five years, the settlement reverts to that town or city where he has lawful settlement. If he has no lawful town or city settlement, he becomes a state case. In either case, although aided in Wakefield, this town is reimbursed by the town of settlement or by the state.
On the basis of the information contained in the histories, the cases are investigated with two purposes in view. First, to check the history in so far as it relates to number in family, approximate ages and means of support. Second, to see the conditions as they are and determine whether or not further assistance should be given.
Despite the fact that it would be much easier from an accounting viewpoint to give cash, or grocery orders redeemable at any store, it has long been the practice of the Welfare Board in Wakefield and many other towns to specify the store at which the order can be redeemed.
94
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The only purpose of the department in keeping control of its orders is to be in a position to refuse orders on stores that give cash instead of groceries either in whole or in part.
Most of the applicants for aid are thoroughly honest as are almost all of the storekeepers on whom the orders are drawn, yet there have been cases, even under the present order method, where the store owners have given cash. In such cases the cash is not used to secure necessities but is usually used to buy drink or gamble away, in the case of men, or for personal adornment or the movies, in the case of women. In either case, the children of the family suffer the loss of food they need badly.
The only means the department has of stopping the practice is to warn the storekeeper that orders will not be made on his store if he does not discontinue giving cash. If he persists, no further orders are given on his store.
During the last few years, it has been the policy of the department to send able bodied men to the town farm to work for their grocery orders. This has been done for two reasons: First, it provides a check, as far as possible, on cases which have arisen in the past, where a man may be working and at the same time drawing aid from the town. Second, it prevents the aid given from being classified as a dole. In the case of men who appreciate the opportunity to get aid, it gives them the feeling that they have repaid the town with their labor. In the case of those who de- mand aid as their right, with little or no appreciation for it, the work serves to indicate to them that they cannot get something for nothing.
The shoes and clothing, which are provided for those in need of them, are not for the most part new, but are contributed by thoughtful citizens as a result of local newspaper appeals.
The amount spent for fuel has been kept low, because, through co- operation given by the other town departments, the Welfare department has been able to accumulate a sufficient quantity of wood at the town farm to meet most calls for fuel.
The amount spent for board and rent, although somewhat larger than in 1930, and larger than was anticipated for 1931, is a classification that does not fluctuate as radically as the amount spent for meats and gro- ceries. The greater part of the money spent under this classification goes to persons who, due to some misfortune, must be aided by the town for an indefinite period. These persons include patients in outside hospitals, children boarded at the expense of the town, and families requiring pro- longed aid, yet not within the scope of mothers' aid.
A small part of this money was spent for payment of rent in temporary cases under unusual circumstances.
Medical attention and Hospital care are small expenditures incurred usually in emergencies. They cover primarily maternity expenses.
Expenditures for Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance are regulated under State Laws and after the initial application is filed by the Welfare Department with its recommendation the payments are made weekly in cash as long as the circumstances of the applicants are unchanged.
95
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The law applying to old age assistance did not become effective until July 1, 1931, so that the expenditures for 1931 under the law were compar- atively small. Just how large a factor Old Age Assistance will be in future town appropriations can best be judged at the end of another year.
The numbers of dinners given out at Thanksgiving and Christmas dur- ing the year were nearly double those of a year ago, but through the co- operation of organizations and individuals this work was handled as com- pletely as any year in the past.
At the close of the year, there were fourteen inmates at the town Infirmary under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin W. Brown. Appropriation 1931 Refund

Owing to the desire of the Department to limit expenditures this year, it was not feasible to relay two miles of cement-lined pipe with cast iron pipe as recommended by the New England Insurance Exchange. The pipe on Melvin Street was relaid, however, for a distance of approximately 1200 feet, as this street had given considerable trouble from breaks occurring.
Although the wells have not been operated since January 6, they could be used by providing the necessary pumping equipment, should an emergency arise.
The filter plant, installed in 1927, is operating very successfully, and up to the present time has cost practically nothing for repairs. Analyses of the water according to reports of Weston and Sampson, Engineers for the Department, show that the filtered water is still maintaining its high standard.
