SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
Report of the Ooverseers of the Poor
The Overseers of the Poor herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1907.
At the Almshouse, M. M. Sullivan and wife are in charge as Warden and Matron. The neatness, good order and general appearance of the House, speak in the highest terms of the qualifications of both Warden and Matron for their respective positions.
With the appropriations made this year, new floors have been laid, the house newly painted, the chimneys, walls and roof repaired, and the barn painted and shingled.
The majority of the bed rooms need new floors. We would recommend an appropriation for the same.
Average expense per week, per inmate, $2.26.
The following are the expenses in detail :
