Another improvement is the reclaiming of an almost worth- less meadow, by filling with gravel and covering with loam. The meadow is about five acres in extent, and nearly two thirds of it has been made into good land. When it is finished it will be- come one of the best mowing pieces of land upon the farm. This work has also been performed by the inmates, under the supervi- sion of the Superintendent, the expense being only for the tools required for the work.
The greater number of inmates at the farm has necessitated greater lodging room and we have finished a large hall or room in the attic of the almshouse, that will accommodate twenty per- sons or more, if necessary. We have had a greater number of in- mates at the farm this year than in any previous year, the whole number being 82. The new iron bedsteads for which the town appropriated money have been a much needed addition. They are much more cleanly and comfortable, and present a much bet- ter appearance than the old rickety wooden ones.
In regard to the Electa Kimball estate, we will say that Geo. F. Birch, as her acting attorney, drew $43.70 from the bank,
19
and expended $20 for burial and $22 for a headstone, leaving a balance of $1.70, which sum he has paid to the Overseers of the Poor.
As Milford has been depressed, much the same as many other boot and shoe manufacturing towns as regards active business, it will be very plainly seen that it was impossible not to exceed the appropriation of the town, with the number of persons we have been obliged to aid.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Citizens and firemen, you will take notice that District No. 1 has been changed, and No. 8 district added to the list; the above change being, in the minds of the engineers, for the best inter- ests of town and department.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, we wish to state that the department is in very good condition, each company doing what it can to assist the engineers and working in unison with each other. It is ap- parently the aim of the members to make the Milford Fire De- partment second to none in any town in our state. We wish to express our sincere thanks to them for the generous way in which they have helped us, also to the citizens in general who have assisted us willingly, whenever called upon to do so. During the past year we have helped to perfeet our department by the addi- tion of a jumping.net, gun and chute, articles which were required by the state law to be had. We believe that the town should see that the Milford Water Co. live up to its contract, as a serious drawback that the department had to contend with, was occasioned by defective hydrants. We would deem it advisable to have Steamer Co. No. 2 reorganized and put in active service. The cost for maintaining said com- pany would be more than offset by the faithful services the mem- bers would perform at fires where it is essential to have two steamers in constant use.
Again thanking the members of the department and citizens for their many favors, we respectfully submit the above report.
