The system of testing and sealing at their places of business gives general satisfaction. Many, however, object to the charges, and send their scales, etc., to this office, and in this way the following work has been done, which is included in the "operations of the department," and for which no fees are allowed.

Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Melrose :
GENTLEMEN: The overseers of the poor respectfully sub- mit the following report of the year ending Jan. 31, 1901:
There have been aided by the charity department during the year 286 persons, 243 receiving partial support, and 43 full support; there were 62 families, consisting of 98 adults and 145 children ; of the fully supported 23 were insane, 19 sane, and one feeble minded; 199 have settlement in Mel- rose, 87 are settled elsewhere; of these 23 were in insane hos- pitals, one at the Baldwinsville hospital for children, 14 at the Pratt farm, and five in private families.
The expenses of the department have increased largely this year, on account of the lack of work throughout the city, the temporary shut down of the rubber factory, and the quarantining of families where there were cases of conta- gious disease, thus depriving those who were able, of the opportunity to work.

339
REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR.
her death on March 31st, 1900. The overseers of the poor desire to place on record their appreciation of the very effi- cient service she rendered to the town and city while acting as matron at the farm, and we recognize that those who were under her care lost a faithful friend. The position of matron is always difficult to fill, but after several efforts and disap- pointments, we at last succeeded in securing the services of Mrs. Christie Chandler, who has proved herself exceedingly capable in performing the duties assigned to her, and every part of the farm shows her efficient management, and the in- mates find in her a true and kind hearted friend.
The house has been greatly improved, and there has been added a new dining room for the inmates, a much needed pantry and large ice-chest; on the second story over the new dining room, three bed rooms have been fitted up and furnished. There should be added in the immediate future, a suitable room for men's sitting room on the first floor, and also provision made to better accommodate those who may be sick, and who are not eligible to the care of the Melrose hospital.
The farm has been cultivated to produce the most at the least expense, we have added during the year a horse and four cows, making seven cows now at the farm, the demand for milk is increasing, and we are able to sell all we can pro- duce besides furnishing the home with all it can use. Those who are in constant touch with the workings of the Pratt faim are more and more convinced of the wisdom of the town in establishing this home for our worthy poor, and the board cordially and earnestly invite our citizens to carefully look into the work accomplished, the manner in which it is done and the results obtained.
There have been raised on the farm, from June, 1900, to Feb. 1, 1901:
6,977 1/2 quarts of milk. 7 tons hay. 4 tons fodder. II bushels apples. 6 pecks peas. 158 squashes.

MELROSE, MASS., April 1, 1901.
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
GENTLEMEN :- The overseers of the poor having in charge the disbursement of the Eleanor Brown Toothaker fund, re- spectfully submit the following report.
341
REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR.
A clause in the will of Eleanor Brown Toothaker, who died at Melrose, March 2, 1893, reads as follows:
"The remainder I give and bequeath to the Town of Melrose, for the needy poor of the Town, to be distributed in small sums from time to time as the
proper officers may deem expedient therefor."
At an adjourned town meeting of the voters of Melrose held March 26, 1896, the following vote was passed:
Voted, That the town express its appreciation of the bequest of Eleanor Brown Toothaker, by rising, and that the thousand dollars ($1,000) received, and all money which shall be hereafter received under her will, constitute and be named "The Eleanor Brown Toothaker Fund," to be kept separate from the poor department appropriation, and that the same be expended, with any income which may be re- ceived on the same, for the needy poor of this town by the overseers of the poor, as provided in her will. In accordance with the terms of the will and the above vote, the overseers of the poor have dispensed aid to eleven families, in sums amounting to $149.67.
The condition of the fund at present is as follows.

Twenty-two lots have been sold and one hundred and forty-six interments made during the year. Nearly one third of the amount expended has been for permanent im- provements, filling in and making lots, building streets, etc., which has added to the general appearance and improve- ment of the cemetery, and also furnished about forty desir- able lots now for sale.
The water pipe has been extended eight hundred feet to the southerly portion, and the street signs have been re- painted and replaced.
The office building, erected last year, has been furnished, and is of great convenience as a waiting-room and for the use of the superintendent.
PERPETUAL CARE OF LOTS.
In compliance with a vote of the town and with city ordinance, the sum of $6,462.50, has been deposited by owners of lots with the treasurer for the perpetual care of sixty-five lots.
In many cemeteries lots are sold at a price sufficiently high to enable the municipality to guarantee perpetual care,
345
CEMETERY COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
a certain portion being reserved for single graves at a less price. Your committee have not considered it wise to pro- pose new rules or regulations regarding the matter, as the time is not far distant when it will become necessary to enter upon the Pratt farm, which was purchased by the town for cemetery purposes. We now have about seventy-five lots for sale, more than that number cannot be economically prepared for use.
We have endeavored to utilize all the land contained in the original purchase of land, realizing that the entrance upon the Pratt farm would entail considerable expense for streets, grading, etc.
