The records of financial transactions of the several de- partments receiving or disbursing money for the town or com- mitting bills for collection were examined and checked with the records of the town treasurer.
72
The appropriations and transfers, as recorded, were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings and with the finance committee's records. General ledger accounts were compiled for the period of the audit, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on March 16, 1957 was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts in the treasurer's office were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments by the treasurer were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The treasurer's cash balance on March 16, 1957 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by recon- ciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank in which town funds are deposited.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustee were examined and listed. The income was proved and the transfers to the town were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book.
The records of employees' payroll deductions for Federal taxes and the county retirement system were examined and reconciled with the records of the town treasurer.
The tax title records were examined and the amounts transferred to the tax title account by the tax collector were verified, the tax titles on hand being listed and proved.
73
The books and accounts in the tax collector's office were examined and checked. The poll, personal property, and real estate taxes, as well as motor vehicle and trailer excise, outstanding at the time of the previous examination, together with all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The payments to the treasurer were checked with the treas- urer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The charges were proved, the pay- ments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding tax and departmental accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the ac- counts, as listed, are correct.
The total amounts outstanding on each of the tax and motor vehicle and trailer excise levies were given to the assessors for use in preparing the recommitments to the new collector, and detailed lists of all the outstanding accounts were prepared for the tax collector's use.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, as well as from miscellaneous receipts, were verified and compared with the payments to the treasurer.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
74
The records of receipts of the selectmen and the sealer of weights and measures, as well as of the police, school, library, and cemetery departments, and of all other depart- ments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer being verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Public Welfare:
I herewith submit my report on Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Disability Assistance and Public Wel- fare for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1957.
During the year 33 applications were processed and dis- posed of as follows:
27 Approved
2 Denied
3 Withdrawn
1 Pending
During the year 17 cases have been closed for the fol- lowing reasons:
2 Transferred to State Hospitals
2 Transferred to other categories
1 Ineligible
5 Employed
2 Hospitalization only
3 Resources available
2 Deaths
There have been many changes due to new legislation and State Department directives which have entailed con- siderable administrative work.
Public Law 880 and Public Law 85-110, enacted in 1957, initiated new rules and a revised medical care plan which became mandatory on 9-1-57. The decision to abandon in part the universal vendor payment plan imposed a heavy, continu- ing workload on local boards of public welfare.
Also effective on 9-1-57 payments on Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, and Disability Assistance were
85
increased 5.7%. This was brought about by an increase in the cost of living index as reported by the Division on the Neces- saries of Life. An increase of the item for fuel was also made at that time because of exhorbitant increases in fuel prices over those currently used in the Budget Cost Schedule. Funeral and burial expenses also advanced effective 7-1-57.
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 7, Section 30L of the General Laws, the Director of the Division of Hos- pital Costs and Finances established a rate of $5.75 per diem for all licensed nursing homes. This was an increase of $.75 per diem and was effective 9-15-57. Hospital rates certified by the Commission on Administration and Finance increase annually and the three hospitals which serve this community now charge a higher per diem rate.
Chapter 614 of the Acts of 1957 increased the exemptions of children of Old Age Assistance recipients and effective 10-29-57 few cases are found in which a child of aged par- ents is legally liable for support.
Three liens were filed on real estate of Old Age Assistance applicants. This is a condition of granting Old Age Assistance. The purpose of the lien is to secure payment of assistance grants.
During the year the number of Old Age Assistance cases has increased from 35 on 1-1-57 to 41 on 12-31-57.
Cases receiving Aid to Dependent Children have changed little, there being 4 cases on 1-1-57 and 4 cases on 12-31-57. The average number of children aided was 9.
One Disability Assistance case became eligible for Old Age Assistance during the year. On 1-1-57 there were 4 cases and on 12-31-57 there were 5 cases with one application pending the decision of the Medical Review Team.
86
On 1-1-57 there were 3 active General Relief cases and on 12-31-57 there were 5. Because there is little employment during the winter months there is increased activity in the caseload. Employment has been found for two recipients resulting in closed cases. Because of the unemployment situation in this vicinity, it is expected that there will be in- creased assistance in this category during the early part of 1958. This agency has processed cases for other cities and towns, the applicants being residents of rest homes.
Respectfully submitted,
VIOLA S. GRIFFITH,
Agent.

2. A child whose birthday occurs in the two months after December 31st may be admitted the preceding September if readiness for school can be demonstrated by means of appro- priate tests. Parents having a child whom they wish to be examined under this rule are required to make application to the Superintendent of Schools on or before August 15th preceding the opening of school in September. A special form will be furnished for this purpose upon written request from the parent.
CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
It is the policy of the School Committee to close school only under the severest weather conditions or on such occas ..
90
ions when it is dangerous to operate school buses. At other times, parents are expected to use their own judgment in sending children to school. When a decision to close schools has been made, this information will be broadcast through the courtesy of radio stations WBZ, WNBH and WBET. The no-school signal will also be given on the local fire warning apparatus. This signal is two short blasts sounded three times. From records of the School Committee, January 6, 1958 Voted: That the report of the Superintendent of Schools and other officers of the school system be hereby adopted as the report of the School Committee for 1957.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Members of the School Committee:
I hereby submit my annual report as Superintendent of Schools and in writing the report also include those items of major importance relating to policy as determined by the members of the committee for the calendar year. Your atten- tion is invited to the report of the principal and others and to the statistical tables which accompany this report.
The enrollment at the Governor John Carver School is up somewhat slightly from the figure of last year. It represents a gain of approximately twenty children. The enrollment in the Silver Lake Regional High and Vocational Schools is also somewhat larger than that of the previous year by about ten pupils. While Carver does not seem to experience the rapid growth which some of the small towns have in south- eastern Massachusetts, it does seem to be showing a slow and steady growth in the upward direction. You will note, par- ticularly, that there are forty-six children predicted to enter school next September as first grade. Experience teaches us. that there are sometimes small increases in this number so that we might readily assume that there may be from fifty-one to fifty-four children in the first grade next fall.
