ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF Selectmen and Overseers of Poor of Town of Berkley,
For the Fiscal Year Ending Feb. 14, 1902.
Soon after the election of your Board last March, they visited the Town Farm, and they found a very sad condi- tion of things. The roof of the house was leaky, water running through into the rooms below ; on the gutters the front side rotten, allowing what water got into them to run down into the house. The windows and window casings in the back part of the house were in very bad shape, and the house very much in need of paint. Crossing the road to the barn, we found no fence to the barnyard, conse- quently the cattle had not been let out from the barn all winter. The walls of the barn cellar were in dangerous condition, having started westward and apparently ready to fall in. The stock in the barn was in very bad condi- tion, they not having had the privilege of getting out to exercise and rub themselves and get fresh air, and were in a poor and scabby condition.
We have shingled the front part of the house : put new gutters on ; placed new windows and window frames in the back part of the house, and we also painted, papered and white-washed four rooms, and patched up and painted the whole of the house. We have built a barnyard fence, and have repaired the barn cellar wall on the west side and put it in first class condition. A board fence also has been placed on the northwest side of the lower barnyard, and

ANNUAL REPORT.
the enclosure under the barn has been boarded up, making the barn much warmer. The cows now have the privi- lege of being let out into the sun and air every day, and present a much better appearance than they did a year ago.
The total repairs at the Town Farm for the current year, up to the present time have amounted to $297.06. There is still much room for improvement in that direction.
We are sorry to say that this institution has not been self supporting for the current year. Mr. Brightman, the Keeper, has expended for supplies the sum of $974.75. He has received for milk and other goods sold, the sum of $839.91, leaving a balance of $134.84 due him. This is about the same balance due Mr. Brightman last year that there was a year ago, being about $1.50 less.
We have labored under some disadvantages at the Town Farm this year, namely, the price of grain has been about 33 per cent. higher than it was last year. That has very seriously interfered with our net results, the price of milk being the same as it has been for the past few years. It is a question in the minds of your Board whether it is profitable for the Town to carry on milk business at its Farm. Mr. Brightman, the keeper, is an honest man, but perhaps there might be some improvement made in regard to a keeper who might be a little more progressive. Who- ever serves another year on the Board,we think should ad- vertise for some one to take charge of the Poor Farm, and perhaps it would be well to change our mode of running the Farm. At any rate, there seems to be a chance for a great improvement, financially speaking.
We have at present but one pauper at the Town Farm, Mr. Andrew Caswell. He seems to be in good health, but is feeble and not able to do anything. We find that there has been lodged at the Farm seventy-eight tramps up to the present time of the current year. We are still sup- porting, outside of the Almshouse, Frederick H. French at the Taunton Lunatic Asylum, at a cost of $3.25 per week,

of which the State pays one half ; Elias Macomber and wife $2.00 per week, one-half paid by the State ; Mrs. Mary Wilbur, $1.50 per week, Mrs. Jason Pittsley, $1.50 per week ; Mrs. Salient and family $2.50 per week ; we are also aiding Andrew J. Briggs. We herewith submit the appraisal taken February 13th, 1902, showing a total of $1248.00 value.
The oyster beds, with the privilege to catch oysters, belonging to the Town of Berkley, has not been sold, and an article has been placed in the warrant to see what ac- tion the town will take in the matter-whether to fish them ourselves or to sell them as usual.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Board of Health has to report one case of Diph- theria and three cases of Scarlet Fever. The Diphtheria case was at Berkley Bridge ; one case of Scarlet Fever was at Assonet Neck and two at Myricks. They appeared in a mild form and have not been very expensive to the Town, only in the matter of fumigating, as the books, etc., in the school houses were not burned, as in some cases in former years.

REPAIRS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
New steps have been built at No. 2 and No. 4.
A new wood-shed has been built at No. 6. Also general repairs have been attended to.
We would recommend that the buildings at No. 1, 3 and 4 be painted this coming year.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The Committee in making out their annual report for the schools, submit the following for consideration :
The schools in number are the same as last year and have been kept the usual number of weeks.
The scarlet fever broke out again this year in No. 7 and the committee thought it advisable to close the school for three weeks. There was a similar case in No. 4 school but it was not thought advisable to close the school.
The Committee have used all necessary precautions against the spread of the disease. Would advise the Town purchas- ing a fumigating machine to use in case of contagious diseases, as other towns are doing.
The enrollment of scholars in town is about the same as last year ; while some schools were small, No. 2 was over- crowded, necessitating the transportation of thirteen pupils from No. 2 to No. 1 school:
ANNUAL REPORT.
The Committee at one time thought perhaps it would be best to enlarge the schoolhouse at No. 2, but at the time of writing we think it not advisable to do so, because of the un- certainty of the number of pupils.
We do not think our schools are in retrogression but pro- gressive, for two of our scholars entered High Schools from our schools.
We consider our teachers are doing good work. Most of them are experienced teachers and have been retained this year and we consider them competent to qualify our scholars for the High School.
