OFFICE OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR, POLICE BUILDING, Bow St., January 31, 1894.
To the Honorable, the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Somerville.
GENTLEMEN :- The annual report of the Overseers of the Poor, with the annexed tables, is herewith submitted :
MEMBERSHIP.
Mr. Charles G. Brett, who had served on the Board for eight years-the last four years as its president-declined a re-election. His uniform courtesy and fairness as a presiding officer, and his punctual attendance rendered him a very valuable member. Ex-alderman Albert W. Edmands was elected in Mr. Brett's place. The other members of the board are the same as in 1892.
Miss Cora F. Lewis was elected secretary of the Board, the first of the year, and has proved efficient and correct in her work.
IN-DOOR POOR, OR FULL SUPPORT.
Our full support cases have increased during the year. In January 1893, we had 39 insane persons for whose support we were paying ; in December 1893, there were 49, an increase of 10. 44 of these are in State Hospitals, and 5 are in private families. We receive re-imbursement for 2. ,
The insane are increasing to that extent that it will soon become a serious question whether we had not better have suitable accom-
406
ANNUAL REPORTS.
modations for them in our own city ; especially as a majority of them are mildly insane and could be cared for as well or better at home than where they are.
The number of 'sane persons wholly supported has not increased during the year. We have 11 in out-of-town alms houses and 11 in private families, and are also paying for the support of 2 children at the Mass. School for Feeble-minded, and 2 at the House of the Angel Guardian.
OUT-DOOR POOR, OR PARTIAL SUPPORT.
We have aided this year, 894 persons-an increase of 155 over 1892. The number of families we have helped is 238- an increase of 54. The increase is due largely to the fact that so many are out of work. Quite a number of young men in the early part of the summer deserted their families. We are at a loss to know why this should be so this year more than any other, unless these men wished to attend the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, and did not feel able to take their families and left them for the city to support. We are responsible for 13 rents, -a slight decrease during the year. We have assisted in the burial expenses of 16 persons, and have given 5 permits to the Tewksbury Almshouse.
TRAMPS.
Owing to the fact that some of the neighboring cities and towns have neglected to provide lodgings for tramps, we have had a very large increase during the latter part of the year. Previous to 1893 the tramps were lodged in the cells of the police station ; but owing to the fact that all of the cell-room was needed for prisoners, we have caused to be fitted up in the basement of the police station a room exclusively for tramps, at a cost of $249.90. 20 to 30 can be accommodated here, but owing to the above reason, and to the fact that many are out of work and are travelling from one town to another, we have been over-run since the cold weather set in.
In November and December 1892, only 133 applied for lodg- ings ; in November and December last year 1,622 tramps were
407
REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
lodged in this building. If this increase continues we shall feel obliged to ask the City Council for a suitable room in which to lodge this vast army of travellers. We believe there is a remedy for this state of affairs, and if we had suitable accommodation, we have no doubt but that this number could be reduced at least one half. Our remedy would be a good bath room and a large wood pile. All this could be arranged if we had an
ALMSHOUSE.
During the early part of the year, permission was given this. Board to hire a house for use in the boarding of paupers, as it was very hard to secure places for some of them ; but owing to the fact that it was hard to find a suitable house, and that objections were- made by owners and neighbors, we gave up the idea, hoping the city would soon build one. We would earnestly recommend that the city procure a suitable lot, at least, this year, so that in the very near future, we may have a house to accommodate our worthy poor and not be obliged to ask our neighbors to board our paupers for us ; then the tramps could be lodged or worked, and we believe the number would be very much less. For additional facts and figures- we refer to the annexed tables.
