Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
MELROSE, February 1, 1903.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Board of Aldermen, City of Melrose :
GENTLEMEN : The Overseers of the Poor respectfully sub- mit the following report of the doings of their department for the year ending January 31, 1903. There have been aided by the department 345 persons, 296 of whom were partially supported and 49 wholly supported. Of the 296 partially supported, 62 were state cases, consisting of 33 males and 29 females ; 30 adults, 30 children under 16, and 2 over 16 years ; 164 had a settlement in our city, 73 males and 91 females ; 63 adults, 91 children under 16, and 10 over 16 years of age ; 70 had a settlement in other cities or towns, 37 males and 33 females ; 27 adults, 39 children under 16, and 4 over 16 years, making a total of 143 males, 153 females, of whom 130 were adults, 160 children under 16 years of age and 16 minors over 16.
Four of the above-named number received only medical aid. This does not include the large number of patients who were admitted to the Melrose hospital upon request of physicians and were cared for without expense to them- selves.
Of the 49 wholly supported, 15 were cared for at our city farm, 24 were supported in insane hospitals, (including 5 for whom individuals repay the city) I in the Massachusetts Hospital for Dipsomaniacs, and I in the Baldwinville Hos- pital Cottages for children. Eight were boarded in private families.

CITY OF MELROSE
The number of applicants is in excess of last year, owing to the severity of the winter and the dearth of work. It has been a hard year in every respect and our expenses have increased accordingly. The reasons are obvious. The scarcity of fuel, the high prices of foods of all kinds, and the immense amount of sickness we have had to deal with, together with a greater number of applicants, seems in itself sufficient excuse for the increase in expenditures. The Board has endeavored to deal justly and fairly with its poor, and now feels with satisfaction that it has not "scrimped and iced" but has kept the needy unfortunates warm and comfortable as far as it has been in their power to do, through the unusual winter.
The great amount of sickness among the poor this year has brought before us forcibly the need of a city physician, and we would recommend that such a person is the chief requirement of our Board, who could be employed in con- junction with the Board of Health and who would be of infinite service to both boards.
In December we were obliged to accept the resignation of our honored chairman, Mr. S. H. Buttrick to become mayor of the city. The void he has left is already realized keenly, but we feel that he has not abandoned all interest in the department, but is ready at all times to give sugges-' tions and advice, valuable because of his intimate knowledge of the poor and keen perception of the methods and business of poor departments. The expressions of regret on the part of the poor themselves, showed beyond question the sorrow they felt at the loss of so kind and wise an overseer.
PRATT FARM.
The inmates of the farm have been fortunate enough to experience another year under the friendly supervision of Mrs. C. L. Chandler, as matron, who has retained her usual admirable record in the care of the house and the comfort of those under her care. We have been many times com- plimented on the neat appearance and management of the

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
house by inspectors and visitors, and if it were not for the name "Poor Farm" it would not be so persistently shunned by aged and helpless people, who doubtless ignorantly asso- ciate the place with the traditional "workhouse" of Dickens fame. We do not see however why these people should be upheld in their protestations by educated people of this city, who, looking at the matter fairly, must see only a com- fortable home for lone destitute people, whom we cannot aid outside.
We have improved the farm this year with the addition of a silo, which, while it has put us to considerable expense, we feel will prove a necessary and exceedingly useful "white elephant." A new floor has been laid in the old ladies' sitting room, and a new room added for a wash room. We have had an unusual amount of sickness at the farm this year, and one of the inmates has died. Two other deaths have occurred there of persons who were not properly com- mitted.

Report of the Board of Health.
Feb. 1, 1903.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Board of Alder- men, City of Melrose, Mass.
GENTLEMEN: We have the honor to make our report of the Health Department for the year 1902.
During the year we have held 48 meetings, including several special meetings, necessary to consider urgent mat- ters which constantly arose. We met in a different environ- ment, having held our meetings in a properly equipped office. Our improvements included a typewriter, telephone, new furniture and furnishings, and with a few more altera- tions and additions during the coming year we shall feel that the Board of Health, an excressence on the city government, has arisen from the oblivion of the dusty ages and has come forth as a useful body of educated men, who are entitled to a properly equipped place, where their work can be done in a business-like manner, and where their efforts will remain as substantial and reliable city records.
MORTALITY IN MELROSE.
In compiling the return of deaths for 1902, we find an increase of 23 over last year, including still births. The usual difficulty presents itself in that we were obliged to strike out eight inaccurately stated causes of death. These have been placed under the head of ill-defined causes. The
218
CITY OF MELROSE
Board hopes that more autopsies will be done, as in this way the actual cause of death is often seen. If the attending physician does not wish to perform the autopsy, there are other physicians interested in that work, who would be will- ing to aid him in ascertaining the actual condition.
We have tabulated the deaths which have occurred by months from 1850 to the present date. This work was made more laborious because some of the records were incorrect. We were unable to find the population for certain years, so were obliged to estimate it. We hope next year to have a similar table which will give the number of deaths from 12 principal causes.
