Assistance was granted to 11 cases representing 36 per- sons, with total expenditures of $8,684.82, which includes administration costs of $315.00.


State reimbursement was received in the amount of $4,731.04, however since receipts from the State are applied to the Departmental Revenue Account, they do not directly affect the town appropriation. In determining the actual ex- penses to the town, the receipts are taken into consideration which would therefore show net expense of $3,953.78 for benefits to veterans' and their dependents.


Respectfully submitted, THEODORE BOUCHER, Veterans' Agent

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER


To the Board of Selectmen:


Again this year, the activities of the waters of the Harbor of Dighton have expanded. From Peter's Point to the Somerset line is almost entirely taken up by small boat moorings.


Our channel is silting in, and is shoaler in many places than the chart indicates.


There is a growing demand for the town to establish a well developed launching site, as many of our townspeople own and use trailored boats.


The barge on State property opposite our main anchorage, could pose quite a threat to property in our town if it should come adrift in a strong southeast high water. To obliterate this problem, the State should be requested to properly secure or destroy this menace.


We have instituted a biennial inspection of all moorings to assure a safe anchorage.


Respectfully submitted, ARNOLD B. SHAW, Harbor Master
