44 <br /> Report of the Veterans' Agent <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> Massachusetts <br /> Gentlemen: . <br /> The following is a report of the Department of Veterans' <br /> Services for the Town of Mashpee for the calendar year <br /> 1955. <br /> The original appropriation for the year 1955 was $4,500.00, <br /> and the total amount expended was $2,884.59. Of this amount <br /> expended, 50% of this will be reimbursed by the Common- <br /> wealth to the Town of Mashpee. <br /> The employment situation in this area reflects the ex- <br /> penditure of Veterans' Benefits particularly on veterans <br /> who are able to work. The only permanent recipients for <br /> the year were widows and totally disabled World War I <br /> veterans. Other recipients, as in the past, were aided from <br /> time to time due to illness or temporary unemployment. <br /> This also reflects as to the high type of veteran we have in <br /> this Town, for apparently every able-bodied veteran who was <br /> willing to work has found employment. <br /> I was able to secure Federal compensation for two World <br /> War II veterans who were totally disabled. These veterans <br /> were entitled to this compensation, but by receiving it they <br /> will not be a financial burden on the Town. <br /> j <br />
