ours, considered the largest and the best in town, manag- ed by a man of practical experience in husbandy should be made to support all the Almshouse poor and yield a handsome surplus yearly for the town. Instead thereof it has proved otherwise, all for the want of proper hus- bandry. No one would be required to possess more than two eyes on visiting the premises to discover the want of a suitable interest in behalf of the town
We have secured the services of a young man and his wife at a salary of $200 a year who we have every reason to believe will be as faithful in duty and as profitable for the town as any of his predecessors. As we have failed for some years to see any improvement made, in any way on the farm we now confidently expect that with a better management better results will be realized.

ANNUAL REPORT.
The inmates of the Almshouse are
John Hall aged 76
John Westgate, 66
58
Mrs. Addie Robate 66 30
Mitchell Robate 66
123
Addie Ellen Robate 10
Reuben Austin Robate
Mary Lillian Robate 6
The above inmates are apparently in a healthy condi- tion and well cared for. To calculate the actual cost per week for each pauper is a problem which I cannot solve. I venture an estimate of $1.25 each per week. Amanda French an old inmate of the Almshouse died at the advanced age of 81 years on the 23d day of last Deceni- ber. There has been lodged during the year 12 tramps. Thomas Roberts whose settlement by military enlistment was made by that act in Berkley has been sent to the soldiers home in Maine.
,
We cannot let this report go to the voters and tax payers of Berkley without repeating what has already been recommended in regard to the improvement of the Almshouse. While the town has turned it attention and wisely, to the improvement of the Schoolhouses. making them places of comfort and attraction &giving all the scholars in all the schools all needed means for their moral and intellectual culture, let not the town forget that the unfortunate poor who are or may be inmates of the Almshouse should have a place of comfort and attrac- tion. Then while giving a beautiful home to the poor the town will give credit to itself as well as comfort and cheer to the unfortunate who may become inmates there- of. Your Selectmen have sold the oysters to Somerset parties for a term of ten years for $15,250 which equals $1.525 per year.
