The construction of the new building on North Avenue is progressing favorably and it is expected that it will be completed in the early spring. The department has been using the garage since last fall. Many old tar wells were uncovered which had to be pumped dry and filled with gravel before the foundation could be poured. Some of these wells contained 18-20,000 gallons of a mixture of heavy tar and water.
At the end of the year there were 4747 gas meters and 6299 electric meters in use, which is an increase of 176 gas meters and 302 electric meters.
According to the latest information that we have, natural gas will be available in Eastern Massachusetts, about September 1st, and all of the gas companies are now doing the necessary preliminary work on their distribution systems, such as testing and installing new valves, so as to sectionalize the area served and installing purge pipes, so that the manu- factured gas will be forced out of the mains when the natural gas flows in the mains.
All of the burners of the gas appliances owned and used by our 4800 gas customers will have to be changed and adjusted, so that the new gas can be used safely and economically. This work will be done by a company that was organized for, and specializes in this type of work. They have converted the appliances in several hundred thousand homes in all parts of the country.
The conversion company will have a crew of 250 to 300 men to com- plete the change over in the shortest possible time, and with the least inconvenience to the consumer.
The Department will have to have available, some weeks ahead of the conversion date, a list showing the number and kind of gas appliances used by all of the consumers in Wakefield. In order to compile this infor- mation, an employee of this department will call on every gas user in Wakefield and request a list of appliances. This information is necessary, so that the proper material for the change can be ordered. We hope that you will give us your co-operation.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Board of Public Welfare
February 1, 1951
To the Citizens of Wakefield:
The Board of Public Welfare submits its annual report for the fiscal year of 1950.
Relief is administered by Massachusetts Welfare Boards in three categories - Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children and General Relief. The two first named are participated in financially by the federal government, the state, and the town of legal settlement. A legal settle- ment is a statutory right acquired by a person by reason of which financial responsibility is placed upon a city or town to relieve that person when in distress and in need of relief. General Relief is paid for by the town or city of settlement, or by the state, if no settlement exists. Thus while Wakefield spent $393,763.20 in 1950, on all three categories and, also, for maintenance of the Town Home and administration, $285,593.91 was re- turned from all sources, leaving a net cost to Wakefield of $108,169.29 or, 27.4%. In 1950 Wakefield spent approximately $3,521,000 for all town de- partments and the net welfare cost was $108,169.29 or 3.1 percent of total town expenses.
Our office force is well organized and all required visits and records are up to date. The State Department made a spot check during the year of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children cases and re- ported that the inspection found every detail properly checked and further complimented us on a record form, which had been devised, and said it would recommend its use to other cities and towns.
Miss Eleanor Nardone resigned December 16th to enter a convent.
General Relief Recipients
In contrast to many other communities in the state, the case load in Wakefield, during the past year, did not rise to any great extent. It is a tribute to the citizens of our town that they have a pride of family and a feeling of independence. No application for aid has been received until the individual had exhausted his ability to maintain himself. Because of this, cur department has been able to work closely with each case and has secured employment for several. One institutional case was rehabilitated and is now self-employed.
Aid to Dependent Children
The activity in this category levelled off this year and we finished with about the same number of cases as were in force at the beginning of the year. No further completed legislative action has been taken to establish a universal non-support law in all the states. If and when this is accom- plished, a tightening of this program may be looked for as it will be pos- sible to force errant husbands to support their families.
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE 179
Old Age Assistance
In our Annual Report for 1949 we called attention to the danger of further liberalization of Old Age Assistance regulations, and pointed to the experience of California, which state had thrown out a grandiose plan after one year's experience. Now we in Massachusetts are forced with a prospect of an additional expense of fifty-four million dollars as a result of the voters adopting the California plan. The coming legislature should exhibit sufficient courage and intelligence to nullify this action, which they shied away from during the last session, or all citizens of Massachu- setts will be burdened with a staggering tax.
If the new law is revoked we look for a levelling off in the number of cases in this category. Of our present case load, 30 percent are 80 years or more old. This fact, coupled with the increased opportunities for older workers, because of increased war preparedness production will tend to hold our rolls at the present figure.
The following table shows that, Wakefield's net cost was less than one-third of total cost.

Report of Recreation Commission
The staff was made up of William D. Healey, general supervisor; Ellen M. Ashenden, assistant supervisor, who also was in charge of folk danc- ing and pageantry; Joan Purtell, handicraft supervisor; and assistants- Leo Amirault, Robert Wheeler, William Greany, Joseph Loughlin, Alfred Confalone, Ernest Warnock, Margaret Costello, Jean Hupprich, Ruth Mullen, Catherine Meskell, Helen Murphy and Cynthia Petrucci.
Areas used were: the Common, Hart's Hill, Moulton, Nasella, Maple Way, Montrose, Walton Field and Veterans' Field. The High School Auditorium and Greenwood Union Church Vestry were used for the pro- jection of sound films. The Lafayette Building was used for folk dancing and pageantry.
The total attendance daily was about 1,200 boys and girls. The base- ball leagues were grouped according to age and more than 300 boys played a daily schedule with championship play-offs the last week of the season.
A story-telling hour was an important part of the daily program. At no set time, but whenever the children appeared tired of play an experi- enced story-teller on each playground would entertain them with appro- priate stories.
Sound films suitable for boys and girls ten years of age and younger were held on Wednesday mornings at the High School Auditorium. From 700-800 boys and girls were always on hand to enjoy this feature project. On the afternoon of the same day these films would be enjoyed by 250-300 boys and girls at the Greenwood Union Church Vestry.
The games for girls were mostly softball, dodge ball, kickball, volley- ball, badminton, tennis and circle games. Folk dancing classes for the younger girls were held weekly on the different playgrounds.
Each week on every playground special contests with prize awards were held. This always brought many parents to the playgrounds weekly.
Demonstration Day is the big day eagerly awaited for by all the boys and girls. At the Common in the afternoon the finals in the baseball leagues, softball league, horseshoes, volleyball and dodge ball are held and champions determined.
The boys' tennis championship is determined, matches held at Moul- ton courts. At the same time at Maple Way the girls are contesting for their tennis title.
In the evening at Veterans' Field under lights the feature events of Demonstration Day are the handicraft exhibit, the folk dance class pageant, dancing on the courts to musical recordings, and the adult softball double-header.
Using a background of realistic scenery the members of the folk dancing classes of the various playgrounds presented an attractive cos- tumed pageant entitled "On the Boardwalk" under the direction of Miss Ellen Ashenden.

REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSION
In the Arts and Crafts exhibit, under the direction of Miss Joan Purtell, more than 300 pupils had on display over 600 objects, all made on the playgrounds this summer. Included were woven pot holders, braided belts, bracelets, lanyards, felt utility bags, tempera paintings, lapel pins, and spatter paintings.
More than two thousand parents and friends were present at the Demonstration Day program.
The Track and Field Championships held annually at Walton Field brought out about 350 boys and girls to contest for prizes awarded for the first four places in each of 36 events. Blue, Red, White and Gold Ribbons were the awards.
The 320 different young men who went to make up the adult soft- ball league is proof of the continued interest in that sport.
Maple Way and Montrose play areas are in need of slides. Also there is a great need of large picnic tables on each playground to allow the crafts classes to work properly.
