REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Report of the Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1932.
In submitting this report for the year 1932 it is readily seen that our expenditures are still increasing month by month as it cost $57,000 this year to take care of the needy instead of $49,000 in the year of 1931.
In the past year we have aided 254 families and are aiding 169 at the present time.
The cooperation and assistance given by the many charitable and welfare organizations in the town have helped materially in this time of strees and severe de- pression.
In April the Board of Welfare adopted the system of requesting all able bodied men to work for the aid received basing the number of hours to be worked by the amount of aid given at approximately the price of town labor.
Under the supervision of the different department heads the following work was accomplished without infringing on regular appropriation. Cleaning brush on Beech, Con-
88
FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
cord, Salem, Forest and Hingham Streets. Cleaning gut- ters, etc., 787 days labor; 32 days cleaning land near Jefferson School; 5 days painting signs and posts on high- ways; 161 days at Infirmary clearing land at back of lot, digging needed ditches and general work; 6 days delivering flour to needy families; 29 days striping streets and taking care of lawn at Police Station; 3 days painting railing on highways; 91 days painting the Infirmary; 130 days at the different parks, and many other small jobs.
The unemployed also volunteered their labor in clearing the sidewalks of snow on Union Street on two occasions last year which saved the town considerable money.
Since November this outside work has been discontin- ued except work at the Infirmary. If the town would pur- chase a wood lot the unemployed could cut the wood and save the town some of its expense for fuel.
The painting of our Infirmary was one of the projects where we used the unemployed. The Finance Board gave us from the Reserve Fund the sum of $260 to purchase material and some labor for supervision, and we wish to report that the cost was only $171.80; the materials costing $120.80 and expert labor and supervision $51.00. The buildings had not been painted for many years and it was good economy to have this done this year.
We have also made many other improvements at the Home, replacing worn floors, verandas, cement steps and other needed repairs at the cost of the materials.
It has been necessary for us to curtail our expenditures regarding many needed rents, as the condition of the Treasury would not allow the paying of this additional sum and it is uncertain how far we can go in the rent problem in the near future.
The Board fully realizes that Public Welfare is the second largest item in the town budget and has endeavored
89
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
to administer relief fairly, always keeping in mind that the taxpayer's rights be protected and have investigated all cases as well as an overburdened department could do. The Board feel that in asking all temporary aid cases to report every Thursday evening that they can keep in close touch with each and every case.
Old Age Assistance has been administered for the past twelve months. There were fifty persons enrolled January 1, 1933, and twenty cases under investigation.
Respectfully submitted, HARRY S. TORREY, JOHN J. BOWLER, ARCHIE F. MINNIS,

FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF INFIRMARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
I wish to present to you a report of the actvities and improvements which have taken place at the Infirmary for the year 1932.
We have taken care of thirty-one people during the past year, twenty-three males and eight females, 1 between the age of 20 and 30, 3 between 40 and 50, 10 between 50 and 60, 7 between 60 and 70, 8 between 70 and 80, 1 between 80 and 90 and 1 between 90 and 100. We have had two deaths.
The unemployed have done considerable work here the past year. The lawn has been put in fine shape, the south side of the drive has been made into a fine lawn and a flag pole has been erected.
The driveway has been stoned on each side and white washed, a drive was built to the garage, the main drive has been cut down a little.
The garage has had a new cement floor.
The lawn has had some minor repairs such as a new cement runway in front of the large door, a door was cut through the grain room to the cow shed, the horse stall was enlarged, the north side of the barn which houses the cows was wide open to the wind and rain and has been stoned up both north and east side, and filled in and graded off. The cesspool has been rebuilt, making it much larger, and an overflow drain was dug down through the fields.
Put up a large hen yard.
Ten maple trees have been set out on the south side of the house, the trees we got in the woods.
91
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
All brush has been cut off down to the brook, also all the hand wood has been cut off, sawed and split and piled up in the cellar.
The house, barn, hen houses, garage are all in extra fine shape, having been painted by the unemployed.
New cement steps have been made at the back door, also new lattice work had to be done on the front piazza.
Six more bed rooms have been painted.
In closing I wish to thank the unemployed for the work which they have done here in the past year, which has help- ed put this Home in such fine condition.
Respectfully submitted,
EARL WYATT,
Superintendent of the Infirmary

Report of Park Commissioners
During the past year, with an appropriation of but $1850.00, we have been able to keep Memorial Park in the best condition it has ever been.
The commissioners purchased a power mower, the only capital investment made, but this modern machine made it possible to keep the athletic field and area in front of the High School in good order all season.
Labor received 80 per cent. of the appropriation. A sizeable amount of work was done by unpaid labor sent from the town office and these men, working under the supervision of our experienced men, did the preliminary cleaning at Major Reed Park and in the other smaller parks around town.
We intend to continue this work and keep these smaller areas clean and available for the children in the neighbor- hoods.
The commissioners desire to extend the thanks of the town to the Hatherly Improvement Society for maintaining the park area in their neighborhood.
It is the intention of your commissioners to maintain what we have only, for the financial condition of the town, in our opinion, does not warrant any expenditures for im- provements.
