The Board of Public Welfare has tried to meet the many difficult situations that have come up this past year, in a fair and impartial manner. Due to the abnormal times, the . situations arising have been many and difficult. The fol- lowing report, may in some measure help to explain the results accomplished.
As shown by our report for this year we have kept with- in our appropriation of $56,000.00 a decrease of $9,000.00 from the previous year. This was made possible by the many employed on E. R. A. projects, also a number of in- dustries which came to our town. This was offset some- what by the closing of the Clapp Rubber Co., at Hanover, causing quite a serious loss of employment in our town.
A considerable amount has been accomplished by those receiving assistance. Brush has been cut along the sides of our roads. Many people have been employed at the Spring St., Home in clearing land and making necessary improvements. Additional labor has been furnished to the Park Dept., in caring for Memorial Park. Extra work under the direction of the Schools has been accomplished. Many of the streets that needed striping, and caution signs placed on them, have been done by this department. All street signs and posts were painted. The lawn at the Police Station was taken care of, and much other necessary work was accomplished outside the regular appropriations.
A Commissary Dept. of the Board of Public Welfare has been established. Articles of food and clothing com- ing through the E. R. A. have been distributed each week
118
SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
either at the homes or at the Rockland Opera House to all needy families. The clothing is distributed by the differ- ent churches, and American Red Cross, this method is ap- proved by the District Director of E. R. A.
Thousands of articles of wearing apparel have been dis- tributed through our churches and societies and we wish to thank them for their cooperation in this worthy cause.
Many tons of meat, vegetables, and groceries have been given out each week, helping out the family budget to some degree. About 300 families or 1400 persons averaged to call for these supplies each week.
We have at present on our Relief Rolls :
5 Mothers Aid cases
9 Child Boarded cases
96 Families, Outside Poor
77 Single persons, Outside Poor
16 Single Persons, Soldiers' Relief
17 Families, Soldiers' Relief

TOWN OF ROCKLAND
C. W. A. and E. R. A. ADMINISTRATION
Although this not a part of the town Report it is of enough importance to incorporate some of its details in this Report.
By January 1, 1934, the C. W. A. was in full swing and many important projects were under way among them: Sewing Project for Women; Clearing Blaisdell and Major Reed Parks; Assessors Map; Extension of Water Mains; Painting Fire Station; Painting of School Houses; Beech Street construction; Summer Street Construction; Clean- ing of Drains to Reeds Pond; and many smaller projects started.
The C. W. A. was continued through January, February, and March, but on April 1st the E. R. A. took its place with more restrictions regarding the type of projects allowed, and throughout the summer only certain type of projects were allowed.
Approximately $192,500.00 has been spent in Rockland from Nov. 15, 1933 to Dec. 31, 1934, this does not in- clude amounts spent under the direction of the State or County, such as the Corn Borer project, Apple Tree pro- ject; Cleaning dairies; Knitting sweaters by women; Kin- dergarten teachers; Cleaning brush; Building sidewalks; and E. Water Street Drain, all of which amounted to many thousands of dollars.
All this huge sum in an effort to put men and women out of employment back to work. On Jan. 11, 1934 there were 384 persons at work. This included 74 men work- ing on County projects not paid out of town allotment. Alloted $11,500.00 for the month of December.

SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
Under E. R. A. there were many new projects started. Among the more important are the Mosquito Control, which consists of clearing all the water courses, and places where stagnant water stands. Laying tile drains on Myrtle, Blossom, Spring, Plain, Stanton, Payson Ave and Union Square. Completing work of painting all School houses both inside and out. Recreation instruction at the play- ground at Memorial Park. Development of Memorial Park. This includes the draining and filling in area in the park.
Rebuilding of Gardner Street. This was badly needed as this street has received no attention for many years.
Rebuilding of Weymouth Street, known as the Randall Thayer road. One of the oldest streets in town, but thru disuse had been abandoned until it was impassable for most of the year. It connects route No. 123 with route 128 in Weymouth, and makes the shortest route between Wey- mouth and the east part of the town.
The Sewing project has continued throughout the year starting with one supervisor and eight women, it has grown until there are thirty-four women employed and is called one of the banner units in the State.
Space will not permit, to elaborate on all the projects but a great many needy things have been accomplished un- der the E. R. A. which will be of lasting benefit to our town.
