REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Annual Report of Department of Veterans' Services
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the seventh annual report of the Depart- ment of Veterans' Services covering the calender year 1951.
The department is bound by law to furnish financial assistance to veterans of all wars and their legal dependents who qualify under the terms of Chapter 115, General Laws of Massachusetts, and to the de- pendents of service men and women during periods of war when pay and allotment checks are delayed for some reason or other. A thorough investigation must be made in each case. These types of aid are called Veterans' Benefits, War Allowance and Burial Aid. The enactment of Chapter 723 of the Acts of 1945 and subsequent amendments thereto have made it mandatory that this department furnish to veterans, their dependents and other kin such information, advice and assist- ance as may be necessary to enable them to procure the benefits to which they are or may be entitled relative to employment, vocational or other educational opportunities, hospitalization, medical care, pen- sions, compensation and other benefits. It also provides that the de- partment shall have on hand copies of current booklets and other print- ed matter pertaining to the statutory rights of war veterans provided under state and federal laws. The Dircetor must work in close co- ordination with the U. S. Veterans Administration, Army, Navy and Air Departments, the Selective Service Boards, the Department of La- bor and other federal agencis which have to do with service men, vet- erans and their dependents as well as with our various state depart- ments and the organizations of veterans. During the present war there have been almost as many calls from men in the service and their dependents at home for help in straightening out their pay, allotment, and other service problems, as there have been from the veterans now in civil life. All such activities come under the head of Veterans' Serv- ices, a tabulation of which follows:

A tabulation of administrative work connected with the disburse- ment of financial aid to nedy veterans and their dependents, the amounts disbursed under the various classifications and the sums re- captured and returned to the General Fund of the Town follows:
VETERANS' BENEFITS, WAR ALLOWANCE AND BURIAL AID
Office visits (Applications, interviews, investigations, etc.) 416

Disbursements to or on behalf of veterans and their dependents for the period January 1, 1951 to December 31, 1951, inclusive, were as follows:
Veterans' Benefits - (Needy cases. State participation 50% of authorized payments) $21,033.39
REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT 217
War Allowance - (Full reimbursement by State) . 193.30
Burial Aid-
Chapter 115, General Laws (Needy cases.
State participation 50% in Arlington settled cases and 100% otherwise) 0.00
Chapter 573, Acts of 1946 (Reimbursement of recognized organizations of veterans for expenses incurred in providing military honors at funerals of veterans who died overseas in World War Two and the Korean War.
State participation 100% of
authorized expenditures $ 37.00
Total disbursements
$21,263.69
Reimbursement received by Town Treasurer from the State Treasurer in 1951:
Veterans' Benefits $11,158.73
War Allowance 596.55
Burial Aid: Chapter 115 0.00
Chapter 573 0.00
Received from other municipalities
0.00
Refunds from beneficiaries
111.87
Total returned to Town Treasury
$11,867.15
Net Expenditures $ 9,396.54
As was the case in 1950, there has been a general increase in costs all along the line particularly in hospital costs which has caused the budget, on which allowances of financial aid to beneficiaries is based, to be adjusted upward. This adjustment amounted to about 25% in the cases of persons rooming and eating in restaurants, and to about 10% in other cases. Again in 1951, as in 1950, there was no unemploy- ment problem. During the past year, there was no employable per- son receiving aid except in one or two cases in which a layoff occurred.
In conclusion, may it be stated that the help and cooperation of the Board of Selectmen, their secretary. Mr. Nicksay, and the membeers of the Advisory Board of the Department of Veterans' Services and the faithful services of the employees of the Department is gratefully acknowledged.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES R. ARMOUR Director

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Report of the Arlington Housing Authority-1951
(Incorporating Report of Robert Hauser, the Executive Director)
The Arlington Housing Authority is pleased to submit, this, our third annual report of activities covering the year 1951.
Among the first actions of the Authority in 1951 was a joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen for the purpose of appointing until the next annual election, a successor to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Harold Magnuson. At this meeting, held on January 8, 1951 at the offices of the Selectmen, Mr. James C. Doyle was appointed.
At the Annual Town Election held in March, Mr. Myron D. Chace was re-elected for a term of five years, and Mr. Cornelius J. Brosnan was elected to a two year term.
At the annual meeting of the Arlington Housing Authority held on March 27, 1951, Mr. Myron D. Chace was elected Chairman, Mr. Joseph S. Vahey, Vice-Chairman, Mr. Cornelius J. Brosnan, Treasurer, and Mr. W. Dale Barker, Assistant Treasurer.
In May, Mr. Torsten Reenstierna resigned as an appointed member of the Arlington Housing Authority. Pursuant to this resignation, Mr. William C. Geary, Chairman of the State Housing Board, appointed Mr. John P. Kedian for a term of five years.
During the year 1951, Menotomy Manor was selected as the official name for the existing 126 veteran housing units.
During the year, 15 tenants moved out of the apartments, which apartments were, of course, promptly filled by other veteran families. There still remains a back log of some 450 veterans who are in need of housing and who have applied to the Arlington Housing Authority for relief of their situation.
The total rents collected for the year 1951 were about $61,350.00. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts contributed $34,500.00, making a total income of $95,850.00. This contribution of $34,500.00 by the Com- monwealth amounts to an average of about $22.00 per apartment per month. There will be, for the year 1951, a surplus of about $20,000.00, which surplus will be used to reduce the 1952 Annual Commonwealth Contribution.
Though the Housing Authority is exempt from taxation, it will pay to the Town in lieu of taxes, approximately $3,000.00 for the year 1951.
As well as managing the 126 apartments of Menotomy Manor, the Arlington Housing Authority has taken steps to provide 50 additional housing units under the Housing Authority law. In this regard, Mr. Robert Blaisdell of Arlington was retained as architect to design this new development.
219
HOUSING AUTHORITY
In July, the Authority borrowed, in its own name, $695,000.00 at a net interest rate of 1.267% for one year to supply the funds necessary for construction.
In October, the Authority advertised for construction bids and on November 1, 1951, publicly opened these bids. The Frankini Construc- tion Company of Medford submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $623,600.00. Subsequently, on November 13th, the contract for con- struction for these 50 additional units was signed with Frankini Con- struction Company, and on November 21st, official ground-breaking ceremonies were held, attended by several Town officials. By December 31st, 8% of the total job had been completed and construction is pro- ceeding satisfactorily.
The Authority wishes to extend its thanks and express its apprecia- tion to the various Town officials and departments for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
Arlington Housing Authority
