10' <br /> i <br /> Report of Board of Public Welfare <br /> To the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br /> A complete report of Welfare activity in the Town of <br /> Mashpee for the year ending December 31, 1956 will be found <br /> in the Annual Report as submitted by Mr. John P. Grant, <br /> Chapter 283 Welfare Agent for the Town of Mashpee. This <br /> report gives the townspeople a candid picture of the depart- <br /> ment expenditures. However, the Board of Selectmen wishes <br /> to thank Mr. Grant publicly for his sincere endeavor to <br /> subdue our welfare rolls. <br /> As you compare the 1956 and 1957 budget, you will notice <br /> that Old Age Assistance has been decreased $1,000.00; Aid <br /> to Dependent Children has been decreased $600.00 and Dis- <br /> ability Assistance has been decreased $500.00. Although <br /> General Relief has been increased $1,500.00 over the 1956 <br /> budget, it should be brought to your attention that the above <br /> amount and possibly more will be reimbursed to the Town of <br /> Mashpee by other towns who have residents living here and <br /> receiving general relief. <br /> As an overall picture, the Welfare budget has been de- <br /> creased $600.00, which is a decided step in the right direction <br /> and with the continued cooperation of the residents of <br /> Mashpee, the results of Mr. Grant's endeavor will be more <br /> gratifying during the forthcoming year. <br /> I <br /> Respectfully, <br /> CLARA L. PETERS,Chmn. <br /> FRANK E. HICKS <br /> LeROY M. AIKEN <br /> Board of Public Welfare <br /> 1 <br /> 1' <br /> 1. <br />
