OVERSEERS OF POOR
We consider ourselves fortunate in still retaining the ser- vices of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham. The house is in first class condition. As you will see by the report on Page 76, a large proportion of the inmates are old people who require considerable attention. Mrs. Burnham seems specially adapted to care for the old ladies under her charge. Those unfortunate people seem happy and contented and look on Mrs. Burnham as their best friend. Under Mr. Burnham's management the farm still shows a marked improvement. The receipts of the farm are $2712.56. The State Inspec- tor's report classes the management and care of the inmates one of the best in the state. The inmates are well clothed and fed, and with Mr. Burnham's good management of the farm, the expense is only $1.63 per week for each inmate.
We invite the people of the town, both men and women, to visit the Almshouse and note its condition and the pro- vision made for the care and comfort of the inmates.
