REPORT OF TOWN CLERK.
TO PARENTS AND HOUSEHOLDERS.
TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE, Franklin, February, 1887.
The attention of parents and householders is hereby called to the provisions of the Public Statutes of Massachusetts, with reference to the duty of their making returns of births and deaths which occur in their families.
" Parents shall give notice to the Clerk of their city or town, of the births and deaths of their children. Every householder shall give like notice of every birth or death happening in his house. The eldest person next of kin shall give such notice of the death of his kindred.
" Whoever neglects to give such ,notice for the space of six months after a birth or death shall forfeit a sum not exceeding five dollars."-Public Statutes of Massachusetts, Chapter 32, Seetion 2.
These returns should be made as promptly as possible, and in all cases on or before the first day of January of each year. The proper blanks for the purpose can be had free at the Clerk's office.
CLARENCE E. GRIFFIN, Town Clerk.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
In accordance with former customs we present our annual report for the year 1886.
We are of the opinion that indiscriminate giving of alms, without investigation, encourages pauperism, and great care is taken in this department that no worthy applicant goes un- aided, as each individual case is carefully examined. Money is seldom given, but the worthy are provided with the neces- saries of life, as in the best of our judgment the necessities of their case require.
ALMSHOUSE.
To this department we have given our closest attention. With the aid of the present keeper and matron the results have been very satisfactory to the present board. The keeper has not only taken the best of care of the inmates, but has made many repairs to the buildings and farm without any extra ex- pense to the town. The present number of inmates is seven.
OUTSIDE AID.
The number to which the town has been obliged to render outside aid was 56 ; of these 7 are State paupers and 19 have a residence in other towns.
During the year Mrs. Patrick McQue has been sent to the Worcester Insane Hospital. Also, the Overseers of the Poor were notified that Mrs. Tobin was not capable of taking care of her property and upon calling upon her found that it was her request that her bank book, which amounted to $326.66, be made over to the Overseers of the Poor, which was done and the same paid into the town treasury from which she is now drawing $10 per month for her support.
TRAMPS.
The number of tramps provided for at the station house during the year has been 69 to the expense of $9.75.

REPORT OF ENGINEERS OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The following report is respectfully submitted : Fires the past year have been few in number but great in loss of prop- erty. The department have responded promptly to all alarms and rendered all aid in their power.
The alarms were as follows: May 27th, alarm sounded for what proved to be the most destructive fire that ever occurred in Franklin, destroying the old straw shop, hotel, Daniels block, stable, skating rink, dwelling house and Grace church ; loss about $100.000 ; cause, unknown.
Aug. 15. Fire at Unionville, destroying barn and contents owned by L. W. Daniels ; loss, $3,000 ; cause, incendiary ..
13
Oct. 21. House of Joseph Loyd, on Loyd avenue, leading from the Wrentham road ; loss, unknown ; no alarm.
Your Fire Department consists of Chief and four Assistant Engineers, two Engine Companies, two Hose Companies, one Hook and Ladder Company. Your department is in good condition. Your Engineers would recommend the purchase of more hose ; also to paint the engine houses, which need it very much ; also to sell the old hook and ladder truck and the old rubber hose, which are worthless for fire purposes. For other appropriations for Fire Department would refer to rec- ommendations of your Selectmen.
