REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
Requests for aid through the Public Welfare Department is largely dependent upon economic conditions. When times are good, employment plentiful such requests are usually less than when conditions are the opposite. In addition to straight welfare aid, we do administer under this department the old age assistance and aid to dependent children.
This past year there has been a slight decrease in the number of old age assistance cases, while aid to dependent children has remained about the same. We do warn, however, that there is no way to estimate exactly just what the situation is going to be over a period a year ahead so we deem it necessary to allow a little more than was spent the year previous to take care of unforeseen cases. The coming year we are reducing our budget for the Public Welfare Department by $500, and the Old Age Assistance by $1000, estimating that con- ditions will not change too much during 1945.
During the year we reduced the full time status of our Agent to part-time work on an hourly basis.
We wish to thank all persons who have assisted us in any way in the administration of assistance during the past year.
LAWRENCE R. STONE, Chairman EDWARD A. DeWITT JOHN H. PERKINS
REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The following report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1944 is respectfully submitted.
As high grade asphalt is still only available in a limited quantity the pro- gram of resurfacing the Town Highways was again carried along on a re- stricted schedule. However the Highway Department was able to secure ap- proximately 14,000 gallons and this was applied to the streets where it was most needed. About 2,000 gallons of asphalt mixed with sand and pea-stone was used in patching holes and shoulders.
The usual routine of patching and scraping gravel roads and making re- pairs on guard rails was carried out.
Drains and catch-basins were kept in order by periodical cleanings.
In closing I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Town Officials, all other departments and to the Citizens of the Town for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
LELAND D. THOMPSON,
Surveyor of Highways.

38 REPORT OF THE HAMILTON COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The Hamilton Committee on Public Safety herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1944.
As might be expected, last year was marked by a further decrease in all phases of Civilian Defense activities. Allied victories caused many people to think that the European struggle would be concluded during the past year. Although that end has not yet been realized, it appears to be just a question of time before Germany is faced with not only a military but economic collapse. As a result, the threat of our being attacked has practically disappeared.
In accordance with previous announcements, Civilian Defense is now on a "stand-by" basis. Its activities are suspended but not disbanded or discon- tinued. Its organization, although inactive, remains unaltered and if an emer- gency arises, its various units and services are on call and ready for action when mobilized.
Let us hope that the day will soon come when we can conscientiously dis- band Civilian Defense as a war agency. When that day arrives, responsible military and governmental leaders will officially demobilize us. Until that time we will be ready for duty when and if war-caused circumstances call for our services.
A financial account will appear elsewhere in this book.
This year your Committee is asking for a nominal amount to cover any bills that may result prior to closing our accounts.
Your Committee wishes to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Dr. George Sullivan, owner of the premises where our report centre was located, for his generosity and enthusiastic support throughout this emergency.
In closing, your Committee is most appreciative of the continued cooperation of those who cherish their town, its traditions, and its future.
Respectfully submitted,
Hamilton Committee on Public Safety,
JOHN H. PERKINS, Chairman.

GEORGE GIBNEY HARADEN
GEORGE GIBNEY HARADEN
George Gibney Haraden was born in Hamilton, Massachusetts, May 24, 1904, the son of George H. and Lydia (Lewis) Haraden, and died April 16, 1944. He was educated in the local schools and later took up special courses in accounting and finance at the Bentley School for Accounting and Boston University, which peculiarly fitted him for his work for the town.
In early manhood he evinced a deep interest in public and municipal affairs. In 1926 he was first elected to public office, being chosen a member of both the Park and Cemetery Commissions, which positions he held until 1932, when he was appointed Town Clerk and Town Accountant, and in March, 1933, he was elected and appointed to each office, continuing to fill each position down to the time of his death.
Between 1928 and 1931 he served with Troop A, 110th Cavalry, Massachu- setts National Guard, and from May, 1942, was a member of the local unit of the 15th Company of the 24th Regiment of the Massachusetts State Guard, serving as First Sergeant.
He was unusually well-versed in the laws of municipal finance, acquired in his constant service and his frequent contact with many municipal, county and state department officials and his membership in numerous state organizations formed to foster special knowledge of legislative laws relating to their branches of government. At the time of his death he was Vice-President of the Massa- chusetts Town Clerks' Association.
In addition to his multiple official duties he found opportunity to un- sparingly give his time and service whenever and however called upon in the interest of the Town and his fellow-townspeople, and was particularly active in fostering the work of the Red Cross, giving many courses in First-Aid in town and various adjoining localities. He had also been an active member of the Committee on Public Safety, Secretary and Treasurer of the State Police Benefit Association, and was ever prominent generally in community activities.
To everyone he was familiarly known as "Doc". Courteous to all, gifted with a sunny disposition and a winning personality, his friends were legion.
What more fittingly softens the sorrow of his early taking than the words of James Whitcomb Riley :-
"I cannot say and will not say That he is dead-he is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of his hand He has wandered into an unknown land And leaves us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there."
CHESTER A. FOSTER
Chester A. Foster was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts and died September 20th, 1944.
In early life he became a resident of Hamilton and took an active interest in local and municipal affairs. Between 1917 and 1923 he served at various times on the Board of Selectmen. In 1930 he was elected Town Tax Collector and served continuously down to 1940. During his later occupancy of that office he was appointed Town Collector. He was well-grounded in tax collection law and was complimented several times by the State Commissioner of Cor- porations for setting an extremely high percentage record in the collection of taxes. At all times he was deeply interested in improving school conditions. He was a moving spirit in the erection of the present high school. He served also several years ago on the School Committee, to fill an unexpired term.
ARTHUR SOUTHWICK
Arthur Southwick was born in Readville, Maine, August 23rd, 1875, son of Lakeman and Mary (Brewer) Southwick, and died December 3rd, 1944. His family settled here when he was only six years of age and he spent the remainder of his life in Hamilton.
As a young man he became connected with the Town Police Department and served thereon for nearly a quarter of a century, for several years being Chief, and really died in harness, having resigned from active work in the Department but a comparatively short period before his death.
During his Police service he always enjoyed unbounded popularity and the human element in him was very outstanding. His kindly nature and urbane disposition always softened the disagreeable duties he at times had to carry out. Many profited by his wise counsel and their future course was influenced thereby.
44 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The Selectmen feel that Hamilton is in excellent financial standing, and we are in hopes that the tax rate will remain approximately the same as last year, if this can possibly be done.
It is with regret that we note the passing of George Gibney Haraden, for . many years the Town Clerk and Accountant. A faithful and valued public official, he will be greatly missed by the townspeople and the other town offi- cials with whom he served.
The Town also lost two other esteemed public servants, Arthur Southwick, long a member of the Police Department, and Chester A. Foster, a former Selectman and Tax Collector.
The Town suffers a great loss in the passing of these outstanding citizens who gave many years of public service in the interest of the Town. A more extended account of the services of these men will be found elsewhere in the 1
Town Report.
Francis H. Whipple ably assisted the Town during the illness of the Town Clerk and was later appointed by the Board of Selectmen to fill the vacancy.
During the year, new names have been added to the Honor Roll, bringing up to date the names of those serving their country in the armed forces.
The Selectmen called a Public hearing to discuss the service and rates given to the Town of Hamilton, by the Beverly Gas and Electric Company, owing to numerous complaints received by the Selectmen from citizens of the Town. An agreement was reached with the Electric Company, whereby a slight decrease in rates was granted.
This year, the Selectmen's office, and the Town Clerk's office, were com- pletely renovated, there being enough money left in the Town Hall appropria- tion to do this badly needed work. During the coming year, some repairs must be made on the Town Hall steps.
We take this opportunity to thank the various departments for their fine co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD A. DEWITT

REPORT OF POST-WAR PLANNING COMMITTEE
December 30, 1944
The Board of Selectmen
Town of Hamilton
Hamilton, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
The Post-War Planning Committee submit the following report.
The committee has met from time to time and requested the various depart- ments of the town, which use labor, to submit a list of projects that would be desirable in a post-war program. From this list, which include highway, school, water and moth departments, the committee feels that when the war is over the various department heads are ready to provide employment with very little delay.
These projects include the following :
(a) Extension of the water mains, for which the sum of $60,000.00 has already been authorized by the town.
(b) Installation of permanent sidewalks throughout the settled area of the town.
(c) The School Department submitted quite a backlog of jobs all tending to improve the physical equipment of the schools.
(d) The Park and Cemetery Departments submitted no projects at this time, but the committee is under the impression that there is an opportunity to use considerable labor in these departments if the need arises.
(e) The Post-War Planning Committee suggests that the Town give serious consideration to the elimination and control of the mosquito by efficient survey- ing and drainage of swamp land in the town as a means of effective control of malaria after the war, while increasing the value of adjacent land and making our town a better one in which to live.
(f) Also that serious consideration be given to a project to place all electric power lines underground as a means of providing employment of labor as well as being of lasting benefit to the townspeople.
The Committee does not make any specific recommendation as to starting time or greater need on any of these projects due to the uncertainty of cost and actual need for any post-war employment relief.

It is the desire of the Board of Selectmen to have the Honor Roll up to date at all times, but as no official record of persons entering the Service is readily available, it is necessary to rely on the townspeople for the informa- tion.
If anyone knows of a person who is in the Service, and the name is not on the Honor Roll, the Board would greatly appreciate being so advised. Also let us know of new Inductees.
Your co-operation will be greatly appreciated.
