It will be seen that the amount paid for support out of the almshouse is large, owing to the expense for board at the hos-
16
pital, of Lydia Gunderway and Patrick Monahon, and from what information we have obtained the expense will not be likely to cease at present.
In May last, Mr. Healey and wife gave up their situation as Superintendents, and Stephen Benson and wife were engaged to fill the situation, which we believe they have done to the sat- isfaction of the town.
