The Auditors, in taking the valuation of the property at the Almshouse, would inform the citizens of the town that they have reduced the appraisal considerably from last year, the reduction amounting to $248.95.


We find that the Overseers have added new property to the amount of $228.25, which we think ought not to be charged to the cost of the poor the past year.


It will be seen, that, if we had not reduced the valuation, the cost of the poor would have appeared much less.


The whole place still shows evidence, outside and inside of the house, of the efficient industry of the Superintendent and his wife.


We noticed that the carriages and stock are quite up to last year, and believe that the inmates are quite happy and well cared for.
