As a help to the citizens of our town I am incorporating in this report the quarantine requirements recommended by the Mass. Dept. of Public Health, which we have adopted. By keeping this report for reference the parents can more intelligently co-operate with the Health department in isolating these cases.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
In submitting this, our annual report, we wish to call the atten- tion of the voters to the following facts:
The number of names on the register have been steadily increas- ing, and has reached a total of 365, in our December Federal report. This was due to the delay in transferring ERA to WPA and should not happen again at least until June 30, 1936.
There has been a great deal of sickness and our bills for hos- pitalization have been larger than usual, also our bills for out of town cases with town settlements have increased.
We have made a special effort to collect from other towns which has necessitated more office work than usual.
At the present time we have 79 persons working on WPA who should not require aid from the Town.
There are 119 cases certified by government social service as eligible for relief, leaving 40 not provided for. These are all able to work! Besides this there are those unable, from various causes to labor but who must be provided for.
Of the $5,000.00 provided by the Town as unemployment $1,275.00 was set aside as a special fund for Chapman Street. This assisted the Highway Commissioners in securing an allotment from State and County Officials, of funds under Chapter 90 which, besides using $1,275.00 of labor from Welfare rolls, allowed the Highway Depart- ment to function during the months of November and December.
The financial statement is as follows:
Expenses as per Auditor's Report $ 12,923.75
Unemployment Fund 2,542.49
Transferred :
To Chapman St. 1,275.00
To WPA 475.00
To Tax Collector 500.00
