BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
We quote from last year's report of this Board: ". .. sooner or later Norwell will have to have a salaried Health Agent as do many of the surrounding towns. It is hoped that this change can be put off for a number of years as it will add materially to the cost of the department. " The addition to the by-laws passed by the Town at a special Town Meeting on September 24, 1962, has forced this change upon us, effective as of January 1, 1963. The passing of this by-law made it impractical, if not impossible, for the Board to continue as it had in the past. It was necessary as of January 1, 1963 that the Board establish the position of "Health Agent" and find a com- petent person to fill this position on a part time basis at a salary we considered minimum yet adequate for the position. After due consideration the position was offered to, and accepted by, Loring L. Wadsworth, Board of Health Chairman. He resigned as a mem- ber of the Board and took over the duties as Health Agent as of January 1, 1963. He has carried out these duties effectively and ef- ficiently and we feel fortunate that he accepted this position.
The new State Sanitary Code, which affects all Boards of Health throughout the state, has also changed many aspects of the Board's duties. The standards set forth in this code must be met with and rigidly enforced. This not only adds to the responsibilities of the Board, but also makes more urgent the necessity of a competent part-time Health Agent. There is little doubt that in the years to come this position will become even more important and that all too soon a full-time agent will become a necessity.
TOWN DUMP: For the first time in years we can report that the town dump is no longer a headache for the Board or for the citizens of Norwell. The reasons for this are two-fold. The atten- dant that we have at the dump is doing his job and doing it well, and he has received cooperation from the townspeople. The dump may never be written up as one of America's beauty spots, how- ever, with effective rodent control programs, and good mainten- ance, we believe the dump may remain one of which the town may be justifiably proud.
FINANCIAL RETURN: As a town grows so grow its ex- penses. We believe this also has its bright side. Through money collected from sources such as clinics, licenses, permits, State re-
155
BOARD OF HEALTH
bates, etc., the Board of Health returned to the town treasury in excess of $6,000. We consider this an excellent return as it repre- sents about thirty per cent of our total budget.
In 1962, the Board met in the only space available, the cloak room. For those citizens who are not familiar with the layout, the Town Offices are on one side of this room, and the rest rooms on the other. It is hoped that before the end of 1963 a more suitable meeting place can be found, preferably one with chairs and a desk.
The Board performed its many functions in 1962 in its usual efficient manner. There seems no necessity for listing all these duties, as they have appeared in many previous reports. We would like, however, to call your attention to the successful polio clinics car- ried out during the year. In the words of that famous poet, Allan Sherman :
( to be sung to the tune of Aura Lee )
Every time you take vaccine, take it orally, As you know the other way is more painfully."
Respectfully submitted, KATHERINE R. FULLER PAUL W. KEEFE

POLICE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Board of Selectmen Town of Norwell
Gentlemen and ('itizens :
We have experienced another year of increased calls for service and responsibility. Because of this and the thousands of hours of con- struction and other private details, I requested an examination for the addition of a sergeant to be made from existing personnel. This ex- amination was given April 28, 1962. The Selectmen requested this ap- pointment deferred until after the first of the year due to lack of funds.
Until now, I have made every effort to use the older members of the department on an intermittent basis in recognition of their faithful years of service. However, I feel we have reached a point where it is no longer practical. It is not fair to ask a man to work from 8:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M. in the cruiser, with the possibility of a court case next morning, then go to his regular employment with little or no sleep. Therefore I am asking for the appointment of two regular men to supplant the part-time men doing regular patrol.
The Marshfield and Norwell Police departments, the last two in this area working 48 hours, are asking for a 40 hour -five day work week. We feel this is only fair and these hours are generally accepted in business. If this is voted, the police officer still will not be lucky enough to enjoy a weekend off, but must take the days the schedule will allow. This accounts for the appointment of one man.
Last year shows a contradiction of statistics. Our speeding com- plaints about doubled, but our automobile accidents went down from 70 in 1961 to 44 in 1962. ( We have not had a fatal accident since 1960. ) Our schedule of manpower now permits only one man in the car until 8:00 P.M., then two men until 4:00 A.M. As a result of these speeding complaints during commuter hours, I have requested another eight hours of patrol. This will put two men on the road at 4: 00 P.M. in separate cruisers, until after the busy traffic hours. Then the men will ride together during the most dangerous hours, dividing again for the early morning traffic rush. By virtue of our proximity to the Metropolitan areas and their increased crime rate, I think it unwise and dangerous to continue with only one man in our cruiser from 4:00 A.M. until 8:00 A.M.
164
POLICE DEPARTMENT
In summary, this proposal will add four men to the department. A 40 hour week will add one man. Using regular men instead of part-time men will add two more and increased coverage will add one more. Our budget of course, reflects these requests. It shows an in- crease of approximately $17,000. At last year's rate this increase re- presents a little over one dollar on the tax rate. We who are charged with your safety hope you will allow us to supply this additional protection.

BY-LAWS COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE BY-LAWS COMMITTEE
To the Selectment of the Town of Norwell :
Gentlemen :
The following is the report of the By-Laws Committee for the year ending December 31, 1962 :
The By-Laws Committee does not, at the present time, anticipate submitting to the town a "conflict of interest" by-law, because of the enactment of state legislation which should effectively cover Norwell's needs.
The By-Laws Committee wishes to thank the many town officials who have helped us.

PUBLIC WELFARE REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
The number of cases requiring assistance during 1962 was about the same fairly low average of the past few years. The requests under General Relief were very few and the payments small. Old Age As- sistance cases decreased somewhat in number due to some cases being transferred to Medical Assistance. There was a decrease in the number of Aid to Dependent Children cases. For the second year we have not had any cases in the Disability Assistance category. This was the sec- ond full year that Medical Assistance for the Aged has been operating, and as we expected, there was a slight increase in the number of cases. This increase will probably continue for some time.
An increase in hospital and nursing home rates added greatly to our expenses during the past year and will continue to do so.
Due to an increase in reimbursement on Federal categories of as- sistance, we have been able to keep the actual expense to the town at about 16% of the total expenditure. For full details see Town Ac- countant's report.
