REPORT OF THE Board of Public Welfare


The board as usual held its regular meetings in the Welfare Building on the first and third Thursdays of each month. The separate division set up in this department in accordance with the law and known as The Bureau of Old Age Assistance consists of :


JERRY CAVANAUGH, Chairman OSCAR T. BARKER ROSAIRE J. COUTURE


We have tried at all times to conduct the three branches Welfare, Old Age Assistance and Aid to De- pendent Children in as efficient a manner as possible.


Respectfully submitted, OSCAR T. BARKER JEREMIAH J. CAVANAUGH FRANK W. KELLOGG

REPORT OF THE AGENT OF The Welfare Department


This department in addition to general relief has had charge of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children.


The case load has remained almost the same during the past year, in spite of the fact that conditions have im- proved. This is due in part to the fact that many of our recipients are unable to find work on account of age or physical handicaps, some are kept from old age assistance or W. P. A. by requirements of citizenship, and must be taken care of on welfare.
