It will be seen in the report that the balance against the farm is larger than usual. During the past year the Overseers have paid Faim bills contracted prior to the set- tlement of Feb. 1, 1881 to the amount of $1332. At the present settling of faim accounts, they have taken especial pains to collect and pay all the bills against the farm. The whole amount of bills against the farm, Feb. 1, 1852, was $500, mostly due the Supt. and for labor at the farm, making a difference of debts due between Feb. 1, 1881 and Feb. 1. 1882, cf #772.
There is also included in the payment of the bills the past year #634, expen'ed for a well, a permanent improvement, and one which promises to be of material value to the farm. This amount ought not to be included in the running expense of the farm for the year. Deduct- ing the above amcunts ($634 and $772) from the balance against the farm ($3657) leaves (#2251.) Other items of expense. which do not appear to the credit of the farm would still further reduce this amount.
The Overseers would report that the Farm, stock and buildings. are in good condition, and they would also rec- ommend that in the future every bill against the farm shall be collected and paid, or the amount unpaid reported at the close of the financial year.
The Overseers feel that the town has been fortunate in securing the services of the present Superintendent of the fan and express the hope that his services may be retained for another year.
The whole number of inmates at the farm the past year was 12; the average number, 10; the present num- ber is 9.
Respectfully submitted.
