REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The expenditure for relief of the poor during the year has decreased to some extent. The Overseers, carly in May of the past year, visited each family receiving assistance, mak- ing a thorough investigation, reducing the greater portion to a less amount of aid, and causing others to become self-sup- porting at a saving to the town of one thousand dollars for poor out of the Almshouse, and two hundred dollars for poor belonging to Randolph and Holbrook, notwithstanding the cost for necessaries of life has increased ; and with the exception of a few large families of fatherless children, we believe that the coming year a still larger reduction may be made in the expense of this class of poor. We removed in the latter part of June from the State Almshouse in Tewks- bury, Catharine Heney, and she is now an inmate of our Almshouse. Mr. Martin P. Pike and wife have adminis- tered the duties as Superintendent and Matron of our Alms- house during the year with the same intelligence, integrity and diligence as in the past. The Board renews its testi- mony to the general good appearance, order and tidiness which pervade the establishment, and the many comforts that are afforded to the inmates. The Farm has been well managed the past season ; its products have been an import- ant contribution toward reducing the expense of the institu- tion. The hay raised upon the farm has been ample for the stock, and the potato and root crop large and valuable for table and cattle use. The fact has been recognized for many
24
years past by the Overseers, that the barn and shed room at the Almshouse were of insufficient capacity for the proper housing and protection of the town property, and this year, owing to the increased farming and road machinery, the Board were compelled to erect a suitable shed for that pur- pose, making provision for the stabling of the town horses in same building. The cost incurred for building shed, six hundred and thirty-four dollars and fifteen cents, which we have charged as a separate account. The road-scraper we have charged to the Almshouse and Town Farm account, and find that, with this bill and an increase of inmates, the net expense for this institution is less than for the pre- vious year. Mr. Pike raised and paid into the treasury of the town for labor, six hundred and eighty-three dollars and eighty-five cents, in addition to twenty-eight dollars and sixty-two cents for produce, &c., sold from April 1, 1882, to March 1, 1883. The whole number supported at the Alms- house during the year, twenty-six ; average number, twenty, and one half an increase of one and one half for a full year.
