REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
ALMSHOUSE.
The almshouse continues under the care of Mr. E. J. Lunt as superintendent, and Mrs. E. J. Lunt as matron, and their manage ment has given good satisfaction to the Board of Overseers. One or more have visited the house every week, and in person looked after its management, thereby becoming personally acquainted with the inmates, who, for various causes, have been reduced to poverty, and consequently placed under their care and protection.
Great care has been taken in purchasing food and clothing used in the house. No extravagant prices have been paid, and all arti- cles purchased have been examined before bought.
All the vegetables raised on the city farm have been consumed in the house. An average number of 58 have resided in the house during the year, at a weekly cost of $1.37.
INSANE.
The increase of insanity in our city is remarkable, and not easy to account for. New cases are arising every few days to take the places of those deemed sufficiently recovered to be returned to their friends or to the almshouse.
