Chapin: <br /> "The Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town Hall <br /> Lexington, Mass . <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> Again I find it necessary to request a <br /> transfer from available funds to meet the expenses <br /> ofVeterans ' Benefits and Services Department for <br /> the balance of 1951. <br /> Total expenditures through August amounted <br /> to $5,517.16 which leaves a balance in the fund of <br /> w982.84. Expense for the balance of the year, es- <br /> timated by the first eight months average, will be <br /> $2, 758.56 which would leave a deficit of :”l, 766. 72. <br /> In order to allow for further increases <br /> and eliminate the possibility of having to request <br /> another transfer I believe it advisable to request <br /> that a transfer of r2,500.00 be made. <br /> y <br /> The need for this request is due to the fact <br /> that there has been several new cases and the expense <br /> for Medical Benefits on some of the old cases has been <br /> unusually heavy. <br /> Respectfully yours , <br /> Edward F. Chapin /s <br /> Veterans ' Arent & Director of <br /> Veterans ' Services <br />
