REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
We have endeavored, while in the discharge of our duties as overseers of the poor during the past year, to inform our- selves, so far as possible, as to the actual condition of all applicants for public charity. And while trying to properly relieve all worthy cases, to also do justice to the claims of the professional beggar.
Mr. Calvin Sanford and wife, for the previous twelve years superintendent and matron of the almshouse at Milton, and who came very highly recommended, have had charge of the almshouse and town farm since May 1, when the resignation of Mr. Pike took effect.
We are satisfied that their former experience has been of much use to them in the discharge of their duties, and has materially served the interests of the town. Mr. Sanford was engaged at a salary of four hundred dollars per year, with the understanding that he was to devote his entire time to the almshouse and farm, and the latter has been much improved under his care, and large quantities of vegetables have been raised. Mrs. Sanford, in our opinion, is a superior woman for the position which she occupies as matron. The former neat and well-kept appearance of the house has been maintained, and the inmates properly cared for.
The town teams have been employed on repairs of streets as usual, and during the past season have earned the sum of $357.71, besides doing a large amount of work on the farm.

ADDITION TO ALMSHOUSE.
The contract for the new addition to the almshouse was awarded to H. H. Francis, who was the lowest bidder. It contains ten rooms suitable for the use of inmates, also store room, bath room, wash room with set tubs, and a large and commodious kitchen. In building this addition, it was found necessary to make important improvements in the old part, which was built seventeen years ago. The heating appara- tus has been thoroughly repaired, requiring a large outlay for new pipe. It will be necessary to shingle the main house the coming year, after which, we think, no further repairs will be needed for some time.
The whole number supported at the almshouse during the year was twenty-three. Average number, sixteen and one- half.
