SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The Selectmen of the Town of Berkley herewith submit their annual report for 1882-3.
When the present board of Selectmen came into office, they found the Almshouse and Farm belonging to the town provided with a superintendent for the then coming current year, and all the property in the appraisal schedule upon the farm turned over to him for his supervision and management, at a salary of $180.00. The appraisal of 1882 was taken by our predecessors on the 13th day of March, the aggregate of which was $1095.32. The schedule this year (1883) made by the present board on the 5th of February, summed up $957.73, (see schedule 1883), mak- ing a deficiency in the property on the farm from last year of $135.59. Taking the two appraisals, (March 13th, 1882 and February 5th, 1883) on a cash basis, the superinten- dent alone has cost the town this current year $135.59, salary, $180.00-$315.59 ; and more, by an examination of this book, we find he has charged the Almshouse with articles bought for himself and inmates $570.50, and given credit for sales of produce from the farm $458.82; then it is plainly seen that the concern has become indebted to the superintendent $111.68. This gives an aggregate of cost to the town to run the establishment during this current year of $427.27; then by adding $200.00 interest on the farm and buildings, say nothing of the increase or dimuni- tion in the value of the property, there is a still greater aggregate of cost, which is $627.27. When we look at
4
ANNUAL REPORT.
this aggregate, we are bound to consider the inmates as more than doubled since the twenty-sixth of last April. On that day five were added to the poor family. Last year the inmates to be supplied with food and clothing, to say nothing of an additional fraction, were only 33; this current year eight inmates will have been supplied. Last year the supplies, as shown by the book of the superinten- dent, were a cost to the town of $345.28, with only 33 inmates to provide for; this year the provisions for eight inmates has cost the town only $570.50. Thus, it is evident that with more than double the inmates, and not- withstanding the unfavorable season for farm produce, the cost to the town has not doubled by $120.06. The super- intendent has sold from the farm $91.40 more than was sold last year.

The above-named paupers enjoy a good share of health, and are well cared for, at a cost to the town of about $1.50 per week each.
When we consider the increase of inmates in our Alms- hsuse ; the unfavorable season for producing supplies from the farm, and the advance in price of many articles which
6
ANNUAL REPORT.
must be had, no reasonable person will be at all surprised at the cost of supporting the poor at the Almshouse this current year.
During the current year there has been three tramps or travellers entertained at the Almshouse.
The support of the poor this year out of, as well as at the Almshouse, has been considerable during the year, and seems likely to be no less for years to come.
The time has fully come in which the good sense and wise sentiment of the town should furnish suitable accom- modations, and cause all " permanent paupers" to be cared for or supported at the Almshouse, unless a sufficient reason is given to the contrary. Our Almshouse, say nothing of its outside ancient look, is destitute of proper arrangements for convenience and accommodation, even for the present number of inmates. We sincerely hope the town will take this matter into consideration, and not have our Almshouse reflect dishonor on the charities of the Town of Berkley. Let the noble-minded and generous-hearted people of Berk- ley advocate a worthy cause. The good sense of the town demands it as an economical measure; the honor and charity of the town demand it, and all that is lovely and kind in our nature demand it. If this demand is met by the be- nevolence of the town, the present cost, which is about one thousand dollars a year, outside of the Almshouse, will be greatly reduced and the credit of the town greatly increas- ed ;- and the dependents of to-day and of coming days and years will pronounce on this benignant act of the town a lasting benison.
