REPORT OF VETERANS' AGENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
This opportunity is taken to briefly describe the work of the Veterans' Agent and submit a report of expenditures made to veterans during the year 1954.
The office of the Veterans' Agent provides financial as- sistance to qualified veterans after proper application and a complete investigation of each case.
There are three classes of financial benefits for which the veteran may apply viz:
Ordinary Benefits which include the general necessities of life such as food, shelter and clothing.
the domicile and the season of the year.
Fuel Allowance which varies according to the size of Medical Bills which include hospital medicative and surgical expenses and fees at rates established by the Director of Veterans' Services.
The monthly budget for only ordinary benefits of an aver- age case-a veteran, wife, and two children, might be illus- trated as follows:
Rent
$25.00
Food
60.00
Clothing
12.00
Miscellaneous
15.00
2 children
@ $25 each
50.00
$162.00 per month
The veterans or dependents of World War 1, World War II, and Korea who are entitled to help under this budget num- ber at least six hundred.
Although the Commonwealth reimburses the Town for one-half of the amount approved by it upon proper application by the Veterans' Agent, the taxpayers should be cognizant of the potential amount that could be required by appropriation to this Department. Age and economic conditions might neces- sitate increased appropriations in the future.
Three cases were processed during 1954 at a total cost of $1036.76
Transferred to Contingent Fund by vote
of the Town 375.00
Total Expended $1411.76
Balance 88.24

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS ON ZONING
December 31, 1954
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Medfield Board of Appeals on Zoning organized for the 1954 year with Orrin E. Wilkins, as chairman; Leon H. Ballou, Jr., as clerk; Mark Hollingsworth as member; and Mrs. Ellen Crowell as alternate member.
During the year, the Board conducted several public hearings on petition of townspeople and property owners in the community and in each instance discharged its duties in the best interests of petitioners and the community as a whole.
It was also necessary in several instances to hold addi- tional meetings with petitioners and abutters to ascertain certain facts pertinent to the cases in hand.
It ever has been and will continue to be the object of the Board to consider the cases it hears and to render a decision in each within the intent and purpose of the Zoning By-Laws.
Respectfully submitted, ORRIN E. WILKINS, Chairman LEON H. BALLOU, JR., Clerk MARK HOLLINGSWORTH
