SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Overseers of the Poor
The Overseers of the Poor herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1910.
At the Almshouse certain repairs should be made, as recom- mended by the State Inspector of Institutions, the most important of which is to place new floors in the bed rooms and hall. We would recommend an appropriation of $300.
Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Sullivan continue as warden and matron, and as in the past years give good satisfaction, and leave nothing to be desired by the Overseers. The house is in good order and the inmates are well taken care of.
