Report of Northern Franklin Welfare District


BY L. R. STARK, AGENT


The towns of Bernardston, Gill, Leyden and Warwick joined in forming a Welfare District late in 1950 which came into oper- ation January 2, 1951 ... At this time an Agent and Clerk were employed with headquarters at the Bernardston Town Hall and administration of all categories of Public Welfare for the four towns were transferred to that office. Later in the year the office was moved to Dewey Street in Bernardston.


ADMINISTRATION: The total cost of administration of the district office for 1951 was $5038.50. This amount includes sal- aries, travel expense, rent, telephone, office supplies, postage and miscellaneous items. The above costs were met by drawing from the four member towns a total of $3213.57 during the first eight months of the year before receipt of federal or state assistance which is given on a reimbursement basis, several months in ar- rears. The above amount was apportioned among the four mem- ber towns as follows :- Bernardston $1269.26, Gill $473.53, Ley- den $706.38 and Warwick $764.40. Both federal and state reim- bursement moneys are paid directly to the District Treasurer and are available for use immediately without town appropria- tion. During the latter months of the year a total of $2817.93 was received by the District Treasurer representing the state and federal reimbursement for the first nine months of 1951 which was used to pay current expenses of the district office for the last four months of 1951, leaving a balance of $993 in the District Treasury at the end of the year and available for use in 1952.


27


ASSISTANCE: At the beginning of the year 1951, a total of 101 cases were being aided by the four member towns. This number was reduced to 95 at the end of the year which was low for the year with a high of 108 cases in March. Twenty-eight applica- tions for assistance were received and investigated during the year. Twenty-six of these were approved for assistance, one was denied and one was pending at the end of the year. Thirty-two cases were closed during the year. Three Old Age Assistance appeal cases were reviewed during the year by a referee of the Department of Public Welfare, all of which were denied.


A total of $76,632.23 was expended by the member towns for assistance for the four categories of aid during the year as indicat- ed in the table below. The towns were reimbursed approximately 84 percent on Old Age Assistance and 75 percent each on Aid to De- pendent Children and Disability Assistance from federal and state funds leaving about 14 percent, 25 percent and 25 percent respectively as the local share. There is no federal or state aid in General Relief except in cases without legal settlement where the state reimburses 100 percent.

Report of the State Audit


THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS


Department of Corporations and Taxation


Division of Accounts State House, Boston 33


July 3, 1951


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Edric W. Cook, Chairman Leyden, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Leyden for the period from August 1, 1949 to May 21, 1951, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.


Very truly yours,


FRANCIS X. LANG,


Director of Accounts


31


FXL:ACD Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston


Sir:


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Leyden for the period from August 1, 1949, the date of the previous examination, to May 21, 1951, and submit the following report thereon:


The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing town funds or sending out bills for collection were examined and checked in detail.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examin- ed and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the records of the departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds, the cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on May 21, 1951 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the depository and by actual count of the cash on hand.


The securities and savings bank books representing the in- vestment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the treasurer were listed and checked. The income was proved and the amounts withdrawn were verified.


The payments on account of debt and interest were compar- ed with the amounts falling due during the period of the audit and with the cancelled securities on file.


The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes were examined and checked. The amounts credited to the em- ployees were listed from the treasurer's records and compared with the deductions as shown on the treasurer's books. The pay- ments to the Collector of Internal Revenue were verified, and the balance in the general treasury on May 21, 1951 was proved.


32


The appropriations were listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings and the amounts voted were compared with the aggregate appropriations raised by the assessors in the computa- tion of the 1950 tax rate.


The receipts from dog and sporting licenses issued by the town clerk were checked with the record of licenses granted. The payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash on hand on May 21, 1951 was proved by actual count.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitment lists of taxes were audited and reconciled with the assessors' warrants. The collections as recorded were checked, the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were com- pared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the out- standing accounts were listed and proved, and the cash balance on May 21, 1951 was verified.


Verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies re- ceived it appears that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of accounts receivable of the public welfare de- partment for aid to dependent children and old age assistance were analyzed, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.


The records of the sealer of weights and measures were ex- amined and checked, the receipts were compared with the record of fees charged, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.


The records of the librarian for receipts from fines were checked, and the cash on hand on May 21, 1951 was proved by actual count.


The records of charges for the use of town-owned highway equipment were compared with the payrolls of the highway de- partment. The collections, as recorded, were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.


33


The records of fees charged for slaughtering were analyzed, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding fees on May 21, 1951 were listed.


The surety bonds of the town officials required to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


Ledger accounts were compiled, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on May 21, 1951.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.


While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

Report of Superintendent of Schools


To the School Committee and Citizens of Leyden:


I am pleased herewith to present my fourth annual report as your Superintendent of Schools. This report covers the 180th year of public education in the Town of Leyden.


SCHOOL BUILDING


On September 10, 1951 the Leyden school pupils moved into the new Leyden Elementary School. The building contains two class rooms, lunch room, kitchen, teachers' room, toilet rooms and supply closets. It is one story, flat roof of the ranch type de- sign. It is well insulated and heated by steam made by an oil- fired boiler. The interior is modern in every respect and contains all the facilities necessary for modern educational programs. The building has not yet been accepted by the building committee, as a few items still remain to be finished.


The consolidation of the schools will bring together all the pupils in the town in each grade, thereby giving each pupil the full advantage of competition and working with fellow pupils. It will, also eliminate the duplication of work by teachers. The

bringing together of children from all parts of town has created problems that only living together and time will solve. Each day progress is being made and soon all the boys and girls will be able to take advantage of the splendid facilities and opportunities afforded by the new school. The Building Committee deserves many thanks for its untiring efforts in planning and overseeing this building to its completion.


Every day the children are served a hot, nutritious, and well balanced lunch for twenty cents. Each lunch complies with the- following standards:


1. One-half pint whole white milk


2. Three-quarters cup cooked or raw vegetable or fruit or three-eighths cup of each


3. One or more slices of whole grain or enriched bread or cereal


4. Two-ounce serving of meat, fish or cheese or four tablespoons of peanut butter or one whole egg


or one-half cup of cooked dried beans or peas


5. Two teaspoons butter or fortified margarine


Space does not permit the printing of the menus served. Copies of these menus may be obtained from the office of the Superintendent of Schools. The School Lunch Program is self- sustaining and is maintained by a revolving fund in the hands of the Town Treasurer. A glance at the financial statement will show that the first four months operations have been financially sound. Each day between 35 and 40 pupils enjoy these lunches. Since the opening of school to December 22, 1951, 2178 pupil lunches and 152 adult lunches or a total of 2,330 lunches were served. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Leta Wood and Mrs. Ruth Gerry for the outstanding success of the lunch pro- gram. The school is most fortunate to have on its staff two such splendid workers.
