The management of the Almshouse by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Burnham has been very satisfactory to the Overseers. The inmates have been well cared for, and we note an increase in the receipts from the farm.

Cemetery Committee
The Cemetery Committee herewith submit ther annual report, with a statement of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending January 1, 1895.
New stones have been erected at the graves in the Potter's Field and about two acres of underbrush cleared. As the demand for lots increases a new plan of the unplatted portion of the cemetery will be necessary to prepare it for burial pur- poses. The grounds have been well cared for and the com- mittee are of the opinion that they never were in better con- dition than during the past year. As it is necessary to clear the walks and drives and cut the grass several times during the season, we would ask for $300 in addition to the sale of lots, thereby giving the committe an opportunity to purchase a horse lawn mower.
