OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1917 :-
During the year past, but little occurred outside the usual routine.
A part of the farm land was utilized by the Committee on Public Safety to provide gardens for those who desired to cul- tivate them, Superintendent Swanton aiding those who were not familiar with the raising of vegetables; but the results achieved, not only from these plots, but also from the rest of the farm were far from satisfactory, owing to the peculiar season.
When the fire was started in the heating plant, several of the tubes in the boiler were in such a condition, that it was necessary to replace five, and during the present year the boiler will prob- ably have to be entirely re-tubed. Other than this, with the usual painting and whitewashing, no repairs seem necessary.
The personnel of our inmates remains about the same as last year, those of advanced years and weakened systems. We can but feel that they are indeed fortunate in having such pleasant surroundings, with those who take pleasure in administering to their comfort and happiness.
For Almshouse expense we would ask that the sum of $4500.00 be appropriated, for repairs (re-tubing boiler), $400.00; to meet the requirements of Chap. 763, Acts of 1913, an act for suitably aiding mothers with dependent children, the sum of $500.00.
