DEPARTMENTAL RECORDS
ANNUAL LIBRARY REPORT FOR 1944
To the Citizens of The Town of Medfield:
During the year 1944, the Medfield Public Library has had a circulation of 14,710 volumes.
The circulation increase for this year over last year was 1,410 books, 1,041 of these were adult and 369 juvenile. The Librarians are pleased to announce that 132 new applicants have become borrowers.
In 1944 the following volumes were purchased:
154 volumes of adult fiction. 85 volumes of adult non-fiction 72 volumes of juvenile fiction. 23 volumes of juvenile non-fiction.
Seven new periodicals were added this year: "America," "Better Homes and Gardens," "Current History," "House Beauti- ful," "Hygeia," "Parents' Magazine," "Saturday Evening Post" and "Travel."
The Board of Trustees wishes to extend their thanks to the following donors: The Rev. Eric Ayer, Mr. Albert Clark, The Garden Club, Mrs. Joel E. Goldthwait, Mrs. John H. Henderosn, Miss Constance Mann, Mrs. Charles Manning, Mrs. Russeila Mc- Gab, Major Nathaniel Saltonstall, Miss Barbara Smith, Mrs. My- ron H. Smith, The University Press, Lt. Martha Welch, Mrs. James White, Mrs. Thomas Whiteside and Mrs. Florence Yeo.
The Librarians are trying to build up the reference depart- ments and establish well rounded material to cover each classifica- tion. Books already in the Library are being weeded out accord- ing to value and being re-classified if necessary.
Building repairs have been made and the interior of the Library painted.
As the people of Medfield know, the Library operations have been carried on lately from income accumulated from the gener- ous fund bequeathed to the Town by the late Granville Dailey. It must be realized that when this income so built up is exhausted that the annual income from the Dailey Fund will not entirely support the minimum needs of the Library and Town appropria- tions may again be necessary.

The flag pole in Baxter Park has been cleaned and a new rope purchased.
Usual maintenance and repairs to the baseball park field and tennis court have been done by the Board.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
On January 1, 1944, there were 43 cases on Old Age Assist- ance. During the year 5 recipients died, 1 moved away, and 1 case was closed. There were 9 new cases added and at the close of the
71
year there were 45 cases on the books. The maximum case load for the year was 45 cases and the minimum was 41 cases. More liberal allotments and mounting costs keep the expenditure for this type of assistance very high.
Two families received Aid to Dependent Children.
The situation has been better in regard to General Relief. There have been fewer cases, and the amount spent is somewhat less than that spent in 1943 and considerably less than that spent in 1942.
The requirements for making out an application for Old Age Assistance include papers proving date of birth; citizenship; resi- dence; copy of record if married. The investigation includes bank accounts, insurance policies, relative's reports, records relating to real estate now owned or sold or transferred during previous five years, Social Security number if any, and information regarding Old Age or Survivors' Insurance, or any type of pension applicant may receive.
The Board has accepted the State budget in determining the needs of each individual case and therefor meets the State and Federal requirements. All decisions made by the Board have been accepted by the Area Visitor and the District Office of the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Welfare.

REPORT OF THE SEWER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our report for the Sewer Department for the year ending December 31, 1944.
The beds have been raked and cleaned regularly, and the sludge carried to the dump. The grass on the dikes was mowed before it could go to seed, and little trouble was experienced from weeds growing in the beds. The collecting well has been cleaned weekly to prevent objectionable odors.
A set of flexible sewer rods and cleaning tools was purchased for use in removing obstructions in the sewers, chiefly tree roots.
72
The use of this equipment will prevent trouble from partial stop- pages which have appeared from time to time in the past.
To keep the sewer system up to standard, we ask for an appro- priation of $1000 for 1945.

REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: 1
Gentlemen:
We herewith submit our report for the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1944.
During the year one new water service was installed.
Due to the drought, the State Hospital which is our source of supply, was forced to pump from auxiliary wells, and it was felt advisable to restrict, for a short time, the use of water through garden hose.
73
In accordance with our usual practise, the mains have been periodically flushed out, to prevent objectionable color and odor in the dead ends.
Following is a table of the number of gallons of water used and the amounts paid for the same in 1944, as compared to 1943:
