In order to make the required appraisal of the property the Auditors visited the Almshouse and found it in the same neat, orderly, and comfortable condition as it has always been under the management of the present keepers Mrs. and Mr. C. H. Potter, nor did the orderly and neat appearance seem to be put on for the occasion, but to be the usual condition of things.
