Barnstable County Health Department
January 1, 1946
The regular work of the Barnstable County Health Department was carried on as usual for the year 1945.
The regular meetings of the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association and the Cape Cod Health Council were held twice during the year, in the spring and in the fall. The fall meeting was held at the Cape Cod Inn, as the Hyannis Inn was unable to do the work. The meetings were both very well attended by the boards of health of the county and others. At the meeting at the Cape Cod Inn, an unusual number were present, as a good many attended from the Southeastern District in general. The speakers at both meetings were very interesting, and it is believed that the meetings were enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will be in May, 1946.
All of the nurses on the Cape have been very active during the year, and all of the regular clinics have been held, including cancer, eye, ear and throat, crippled chil- dren, diphtheria, tuberculosis and well child conferences. The regular meetings of the nurses have been held during the year as always.
There has been a considerable amount of anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) in the country during the year, and there were some cases in Barnstable County, but on the whole, we were fortunate in this matter. One case, an adult, died on the way to the hospital. Otherwise, the usual communicable diseases, only, have been found in the county.
78
-
The private water supplies appear to be in good con- dition at present, and no diseases resulted from the effects of the hurricane of last year as before stated.
The regular work of the department has been carried on. This includes, of course, the laboratory work, sanitary inspections, all investigations regarding conditions reported as insanitary, etc. The work has been assisted in every way at all times by all State, County and Town officials, and we extend our thanks to these officials for their constant support and cooperation.
Respectfully,
A. P. GOFF, M. D.
County Health Officer.

Report of Eastham Advisory Committee
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Veteran's Rehabilitation and Re-employment Committee
In the 1944 Year Book there was incorporated a com- prehensive report of the history and purpose of this Committee, created in support of a State plan whereby veterans could obtain information and counsel which might help them in their efforts toward adjustment to civilian life.
During the past year the various federal State bureaus have compiled and issued to cities and towns substantial editions of literature and information-all designed to further aid men and women returned from service. Copies of this valuable and informative data on file at the Eastham Town Hall and are available to any and all interested persons.
Furthermore, the advisory committee, as established in accordance with the plan set forth in the 1944 book of reports continues ready to lend all guidance possible to Eastham men and women veterans.

Report of Trustees, Timothy Smith Fund
The Trustees of the Timothy Smith Trust Fund are pleased to report that several young ladies have paid their loans back and others are paying theirs off. Also one young man has met his obligation.
They all expressed their gratitude in being able to borrow from such a fund and surely showed their gratitude by paying it back so that others may profit by it.
We wish several others felt the same way.
The following letter is from a young lady :
"Dear Sirs :
Enclosed please find a check for $138.00 which is, I believe, the balance of my debt to the fund. I wish to express again my sincere gratitude for the loan which made it possible to get my degree and is leading to more interest- ing things. On the 26th of November I shall be a civilian again. Yesterday I started my terminal leave.
Sincerely yours"
The past year $11,000.00 in War Bonds was purchased. Besides helping the country the Fund receives a higher rate of interest.

Auditor's Report
September 13, 1945
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Maurice W. Wiley, Chairman Eastham, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Eastham for the period from October 1, 1944, to July 23, 1945, 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, THEODORE N. WADDELL Director of Accounts
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston
Sir :
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Eastham for the period from October 1, 1944, the date of the previous audit, to July 23, 1945, the following report being submitted thereon:
The financial transactions, as shown on the books and records of the several departments receiving or disbursing
82
money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the records in the offices of the town treasurer and the town accountant.
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's books and with the books and records of the several departments in which charges originated or money was collected for the town. The recorded payments were checked with the treas- ury warrants and with the disbursements as shown by the books of the town treasurer. The appropriations and trans- fers as recorded on the accountant's books were checked and verified by comparison with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town meeting and with the finance committee's authorization of transfers from the re- serve fund.
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, and after the necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, a balance sheet, which is appended to this re- port, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on July 23, 1945. This balance sheet indicates that the financial condition of the town is very good.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records in the several de- partments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the books of the town accountant. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the accountant's books. The cash balance on July 23, 1945, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnish- ed by the bank of deposit.
83
The payments on account of debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were listed, the income and transfers to the town being verified.
