Many of our citizens give consideration to public welfare costs main- ly from the viewpoint of the effect of assistance expenditures on the town tax rate. Because the reports of expenditures and departmental receipts appear in widely separated portions of our annual town reports I wish, in closing, to submit a condensed schedule showing not only ex- penditures but also the receipts which are the result of claims prepared by us and presented to the federal government, the commonwealth, other cities and towns, and in some cases to individuals or to estates.
The simplest and most direct way to show this is merely to say:
The total expenditures for all categories of relief furnished by this department in 1945, including the entire cost of administration, is, in round figures $160,000.00 The total received for reimbursement from all sources is .. $123,000.00
This leaves an actual net cost for the whole program of ... $ 37,000.00
This has effect on the local tax rate of approximately two dollars on the thousand, less than one-seventeenth of the total rate of thirty-
109
five dollars. For example, if your home is assessed on a valuation of $6,000.00 it costs you about twelve dollars a year to assist in maintaining a program of assistance and relief in your town which, while it has wid- ened in scope tremendously during the last decade, particularly as it af- fects the older people, has certainly been effective in caring for relief of the needy.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD E. HARNDEN, Welfare Agent Director of (). A. A

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading:
The School Committee submits its annual report.
During the years just passed it has been the single purpose of all Americans to do their share toward making our country and the world safe and desirable for future generations. We cannot be expected, in Reading, to determine all national and international affairs, but we can be expected to furnish our children with the mental and physical equip- ment, so that they may be better qualified to take their place in an ad- vancing age.
Our High School facilities in Reading are completely and definitely out-moded. They have not been developed in accordance with modern requirements. This situation has been called to the attention of the people in the School Committee reports of the past several years.
A study of school requirements has now been developed to the ex- tent where it is now ready to come before the voters for their final de- termination. After their selection of a site for a school building, there is considerable detail in arranging curricula requirements prior to re-
118
taining an architect to design a building to house its requirements. This has been done on two separate sites for the High School, and these sites will be submitted to the voters at the annual Town meeting for their selection. After the final selection has been made, the architect will then proceed with working drawings, so that the construction may ultimately b'e let out to contract.
There are several bills pending in Congress at the present time, rela- tive to certain grants of money to local subdivisions of government for the construction of public works. In the event that any of these are passed, it is advisable for the Town to be ready to take advantage of those grants. In other words, no harm can be done by being ready. Sub- stantial harm can be done by not being ready.
The Summer Avenue elementary school plans are nearing comple- tion, of an able, diligent, and conscientious worker. The School Commit- for an appropriation at the annual Town meeting, they will be shortly thereafter, and it is intended to call a special Town meeting for that purpose.
During the last year, the Chairman of the School Committee, Irving C. Austin, due to pressure in his business commitments, felt obliged to resign as a member of the School Committee. The Town, and more particularly, the School Committee loses the services, by his resigna- tion of an able, diligent, and conscientious worker. The School Commit- tee regrets exceedingly the conditions which caused Mr. Austin to make this decision.
The terms of Norman L. Duncan, and Gladys F. Milton expire this year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. WARREN KILLAM, Jr., Chairman NORMAN L. DUNCAN MARY E. EARLEY GLADYS F. MILTON GOULD B. RUGGLES MERLE W. WESCOTT
