Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
MELROSE, MASS., January 31, 1905.
To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR AND THE HONORABLE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Gentlemen :- The Overseers of the Poor respectfully submit their fifth annual report, it being for the year ending January 31, 1905. A large item of expense in our department last year was for the care of the insane. Under Chapter 451 of the Acts of 1900 provision was made that on and after January 1, 1904, the Commonwealth should assume the expense of caring for the insane poor thus relieving municipalities from that burden and the attending cost, the same to be apportioned in the state tax instead of a direct charge upon the municipalities.
By the death of our matron at the Pratt Farm, Mrs. C. L. Chandler, in November 1904, the city as well as our department lost a faithful and zealous employee, one always looking after the city's best interests and the welfare of those under her care.
On account of our loss the board was compelled to look for a new matron of the institution and superintendent of the farm, and after carefully considering the applications, we decided on the election of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Worth to fill the vacancy, and can safely say that from the time they took office the work has been satisfactory.
Last year in our report we called the attention of your honor- able board to the need of a city physician. This year we ask your honorable board to examine the figures given below for medi- cal attendance and medicines for the fiscal year of 1904 and see whether our demands are justified in calling for a city physi- cian for the City of Melrose.
The amount paid this year was rising 10% of the total amount spent by the department. The expenditure was $1,152.27, divided as follows: $789.86 for physicians' services and $362.41 for medicines. Should we be given a city physician the reimbursements from cities and towns for medical aid would nearly if not quite reimburse the city of Melrose the salary they would have to pay such a physician, thus giving Melrose the care of the sick with little or no expense.
