REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE OF THE MARIA L. H. PIERCE FUND FOR INMATES OF THE TOWN FARM
To the Board of Selectmen :
The first report of the Trustee of the Maria L. H. Pierce Fund, for inmates of the Town Farm, is herewith presented :
The appointment of a Trustee to have charge of the fund and expend the income of the same, was made by the Selectmen April 1st, 1923. The following month some changes were made in the men's bathroom for their added comfort and convenience; their tobacco and pipes are now paid from this fund. The women have each received a small rocker for use in their rooms, or on the porch in the summer. Illustrated magazines have been sent, also a half dozen records for the Victrola. Ice cream and confection- ary have been furnished at intervals during the year.
At Christmas an entertainment was given the inmates, followed by refreshments of cake and ice cream. Each member of the household received oranges and a pound box of soft candies. The will of Maria L. H. Pierce speci- fied that this income should be used for "simple luxuries." It has been the aim to follow on those lines as closely as possible.
