Report of the Overseers of the Poor.
The Overseers submit the following report for 1911 and 1912 : Owing to the drought for the last four years the products of the Farm have not been as much as they would have been had there been rain, the same thing prevailing everywhere, the potato crop being al- most a failure and obliging us to buy 100 bushels. There has been considerable sickness at the Farm, making the expenses larger. The call for aid has increased, and the present outlook is not favor- able for any less amount than what was raised last year. We would recommend for the coming year :

Cemetery Commissioners' Report.
In submitting their annual report, the Cemetery Commission- ers would call attention to the improvements made in the ceme- teries the past year and the future needs of this department.
The old fence enclosing the cemetery at Three Rivers has been replaced by a new one, the grounds have been graded and the stones in this ancient burial ground straightened and reset. At Four Corners, the burned fence has given way to another, extending around three sides of the enclosure, which greatly improves its ap- pearance. A new fence is needed in front, the old one having been damaged by fire. A metal fence is needed here because of frequent fires. Gates that can be closed to exclude the stray cattle that fre- quent this area are also needed. The unused hillside at Oak Knoll has been cleared of stumps and the accumulated rubbish of years and will be graded and seeded in the spring. The division fence here is in bad shape and needs repairs. On the side fronting Thorn- dike street the old fence should be taken away permanently or re- placed by a new one that shall extend the entire length of the grounds. The Commission hope that some friends may be prompted to give two entrances that shall be worthy this beautiful spot.
We deeply regret the death of Henry M. Bliss, who for fifteen years was in the employ of the town in its cemeteries. Mr. Bliss was an honest and faithful servant of the town, deeply interested in the development of our cemeteries and loyal to his employers.
We appreciate the interest in our burial grounds exhibited by the members of the Woman's Relief Corps and wish to express our thanks for the gifts from them for the improvement of Oak Knoll cemetery .
