REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The Board of Public Welfare submits the report of the Welfare Department for the year ending December 31, 1958.
The administration of General Relief, Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance is under the supervision of the Board of Public Welfare. The increased costs for hospitalization, nursing home care and drugs has raised the expenditure for medical care to approximately one third of the total budget.
Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance expenditures increased due to recipients in need of hospital care and new recipients being added to the rolls. General Relief and Aid to Dependent children expenditures decreased during the year.
This Board appreciates the assistance rendered by the Community Emergency Aid Committee to the needy in Town, the local Doctors and the Visiting Nurse Association.
A recovery of $2657.30 was received from the release of a lien on the estate of a recipient of Old Age Assistance and this amount will be allocated according to the Federal, State and Local share of contributions to this recipient.
The following figures show the expenditures, breakdown of the amount of reimbursements and the net cost to the Town in each category for 1958.

REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Civil Defense received consideration on the Federal level this year with the passing of a bill which became Public Law 606. Immediately, Civil Defense activity by Federal, State and on to local agencies increased in intensity. The Town of Hamilton has, for the most part, kept pace with other cities and towns in activity and interest.
In the past year the Auxiliary Police put in a total of six hundred sixty four (664) man hours, augmenting the regular Police Force. They also gave instruction to Senior Boy Scouts in the use and handling of firearms. Along with the regular police most of the auxiliary force took a Red Cross First Aid Course. The Welfare section of Civil Defense was very active in training of persons interested in this phase of Civil Defense during 1958. There will be more courses in 1959 and we will have a very efficient group of workers in Welfare as soon as this training is com- pleted. We are in the process of setting up courses on Heavy Rescue and Radiological Monitaring which should prove interesting. and Radiological Monitoring which should prove interesting.
The Town of Hamilton participated in the purchase of Surplus Materials at a considerable saving to the Town Departments. We also used the Matching Fund program to good advantage.
At the present time the local agency is working on a local Plan of Operation to tie in with the State and Federal plans. This is part of the requirements of Public Law 606, and when completed will entitle us to Federal Aid as provided by that law.
In the coming year it is our earnest endeavor to continue training and participating in State activities as we have during the past.
Respectfully submitted,
HARVEY E. BARNES
Civil Defense Director

During the month of May it became necessary to borrow $100,000. in anticipation of revenue in order to meet town expenses until sufficient revenue had been received by the payment of taxes. The loan was obtained from the Beverly Trust Company at a remarkably low interest rate of .685 per cent. During August the $500,000 school construction bonds were sold to the Beverly Trust Company who submitted the most favorable bid at 2.90% interest.
It was determined that the entire $500,000 bond issue would not be immediately needed for school construction cost, therefore I arranged with Mr. Coy of the Merchants National Bank of Boston to invest $300,000 in short term Treasury Bills. These Bills became due in November, and the Town received $1,776.00 interest in the investment. It then appeared that the entire amount on hand would not be immediately needed for school construction costs, so I again arranged for the investment of $198,582.00 in Treasury Bills maturing in March, at which time the Town will receive interest of $1,418.00, making a total of $3,194.00 on the investment for a six month period.
I extend my appreciation to Mr. Reid Corning of the Beverly Trust Company, Mr. William Coy and Mr. Richard Clark of the Merchants Na- tional Bank of Boston for the assistance they have rendered me and the interest taken in the Town in the matter of borrowing money. We are all indebted to Mr. John H. Perkins, our Moderator, for his sincere interest in the Town and for "keeping his eye" on the bond market for an opportune time to sell our school bonds. The very favorable rate of interest received is excellent proof of his sound judgment.
I express my sincere appreciation to all town officials, all the towns- people and any others who have assisted me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, EVERETT F. HALEY,
Town Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE HAMILTON SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
During the past year, the School Building Needs Committee, as appointed by the Town Moderator, has met a number of times in order to fulfill its function of keeping abreast with the trends of population growth within the Town of Hamilton and thus, keeping abreast of the need for school facilities in light of these growth trends.
The completion of the new elementary school, which is now in the process of construction under the direction of the School Building Com- mittee, should help to provide the needed physical space for our ele- mentary school children.
At the secondary school level, it seems that the town must provide additional space to meet the needs of our growing high school population. To this end, the Regional School Planning Committee, as appointed by the Town Moderator, has been investigating the advisability and feasi- bility of establishing a Regional School District with neighboring towns and, in so doing, is investigating also the possible advantages and disad- vantages, if any, of building a Regional High School.
The recommendation for or against the establishment of a Regional School District and the building of a Regional High School rests with the appointed Regional School Planning Committee whose report will be found elsewhere in this bulletin. In this regard, your School Building Needs Committee acts as a cooperating body in determining the physical school needs of our town.
Additional high school space is needed in the near future. The recommendations of the Regional School Planning Committee certainly warrant your serious consideration.
The suggestions of the citizens of the Town of Hamilton would be appreciated sincerely.
Respectfully submitted,
HAMILTON SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS COMMITTEE RICHARD M. EMERY, Chairman FREDERICK J. CALDWELL GEORGE C. CUTLER HENRY GOURDEAU JAMES E. HALL ALLAN MACCURRACH JOHN H. LAWSON JOHN NEARY

REPORT OF THE REGIONAL SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The School Building Needs Committee recognizing that the "bulg- ing" situation in our elementary grades will, in the early 1960's, extend to the High School recommended to the town that a Regional School Planning Committee be formed. This was approved at a special Town Meeting on September 9, 1957. The Committee was appointed shortly thereafter and held meetings with the Wenham Regional School Planning Committee, representatives of the Manchester School Building Needs Committee, and with the Ipswich Regional School Planning Committee.
After due deliberation the Hamilton Committee decided that the best interests of the Town of Hamilton would be served by joining with the Wenham Committee to form a Hamilton-Wenham Regional School Dis- trict Planning Board. This Board concluded that a Hamilton-Wenham Regional School, grades 9 to 12, would be the best solution to the problem of providing facilities for a high standard of secondary education for the young people of both towns. The Board is now in the process of drawing up an agreement covering the establishment of such a Regional High School and hopes to complete its report in April 1959. This report will recommend to the two towns that a Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School District be formed.
The Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School would give our youth the best possible high school education because it would be a "Good- Sized" school. In ten to twelve years the High School population of Hamilton and Wenham will be 800 to 1,000. In Hamilton at the present time there are 201 students in grades 9 through 12. In five years (1963) this figure will double and in ten years will triple (607). The Wenham figures are approximately one-third that of Hamilton. Dr. James Bryant Conant, President Emeritus of Harvard University, in his recent well- publicized study of high schools states, "That a high school with a graduating class of less than one hundred cannot provide a satisfactory education." Thus a high school of 800 to 1,000 would meet this require- ment of providing a "Satisfactory education" because :
1. It would provide adequate physical facilities to permit a compre- hensive high school program being established.
2. It would be large enough for a good selection and range of sub- jects.
3. It would enable teachers to be specialists in their field and not be called upon to teach a variety of courses other than their specialty.
4. It is of the size to be both efficient and economical to operate. A larger than 800 to 1,000 pupil school requires an increase in ad- ministrative staff, cafeteria, gymnasium, etc., causing duplication of general areas which are very expensive to build.
51
5. It would be less costly to the Town of Hamilton than building and operating its own school as the State favors regional schools and thus gives more aid as follows :
a. 42% (approximately) State assistance on original building compared to 35% if Town of Hamilton builds its own High School.
b. 15% greater reimbursements on yearly operating expenses, if school is a regional school.
c. Complete transportation expenses.
During the next few months your Committee expects to present to you information about the operation and organization of the school, estimated construction and operating costs, division of costs between the towns, and suggested school curriculum. It is our desire that all of the citizens be fully informed on this very important subject.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES E. HALL, Chairman JOE Y. JACKSON RICHARD PRESTON
FINAL REPORT OF HAMILTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
FOR ADDITION NUMBER TWO TO THE MANASSEH CUTLER SCHOOL
April 15, 1958
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The Hamilton School Building Committee for Addition Number Two to the Manasseh Cutler School wishes to report the completion of the project of adding a second two-room addition to the Manasseh Cutler School assigned to it on January 4, 1956 at a Special Town Meeting.
The addition, occupied since September of 1956, was constructed by the Ames Shovel and Tool Company of North Easton, Massachusetts and has proved satisfactory, except for a minor ventilation problem. A pre- liminary claim for reimbursement has been sent to the School Building Assistant Commission and one payment already received. Final papers are in the process of completion so that final approval can be expected this year.
52
The Committee is happy to report that $3,456.46 of the total amount appropriated is being returned to the Town as an unexpended balance. The final cost breakdown for the two-room addition follows :

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE FOR THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The report of the School Building Committee, published in the Town Report for the year 1957, estimated that the finished plans for the new ele- mentary school should be ready to send out for bids early in March, and the contractors should submit their bids early in April. These dates were optimistic as the finished plans were not ready for bids until sometime in April. Shortly thereafter, the School Building Assistance Commission gave its approval of these plans, and on April 29th they were sent out for bids. The bids of the sub-contractor were opened on May 21, 1958, and those of the general contractor a week later. The winning general contractor was Frasca Construction Company of Lynn, Mass. in the amount of $454,646.00.
