REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
Annual report of the Overseers of the Poor for the year end- ing December 31, 1913.
The entire expenditures of this department for the past year are, $11,738.92
Deducting the reimbursements from the various
sources, amounting to 3,018.29
Leaves as the net cost to the town the sum of $8,720.63
The appended report of the Town Accountant will show the subdivisions of the above figures.
The work of this department continues along the same lines as in former years, with the exception that with the growing foreign population the labor and difficulty of looking up the settlement of the applicant for aid is quite largely increased, and much time and care is required for the same.
Conditions at the Almshouse are much the same as in former years. A few necessary repairs to the exterior of the building have been made, and a new concrete floor in the basement, which has been needed for a long time, was laid, making a much cleaner laundry and smoking room for the male inmates, this, together with certain work in the line of painting and papering of the interior constitutes the work done to keep the building up to its standard of desirable neatness.
That it would be unwise to discontinue the Almshouse as was suggested last year by a certain few has been emphasised by some of the cases that have come to us for aid and support, and but for the house to place them in we should be at a loss to know
-153-
what to do with them. It might be possible to find a boarding place for the single person but where the case is a mother ac- companied by four children ranging in age from seven to two years of age, children whose mother is totally incompetent to- bring them up properly, and who may be described under that expressive slang phrase of 'terrors," comes into the office with no money and no place to go we certainly feel as if the Alms- house is a very good institution to have. We had one such case for a month.
Another that came to us was three children whose mother was here on trial for liquor selling, and who brought her children along, and when she was convicted and sentenced to jail the chil- dren were left in the hands of the court officers. They were taken to the house and remained there for six weeks before the mother was discharged and called for them.
After all it is not necessarily the saving of the difference in cost between keeping the Almshouse and the boarding out of those unfortunate enough to look to the Town to care for them that we should consider, but the fact that under the present con- ditions the money is spent to procure what comes as near a real home as is possible under the circumstances, and that we are doing our full duty by these people.
At the last annual meeting the Town authorized the purchase of the adjacent land owned by the late Samuel Bradford, and some improvements have been made on the property, such as the removal of the dilapitated fence and replacing with woven wire, and the partial ditching and covering with sand the lowest part of the lot next the pond. In our judgment this was a good pur- chase for the Town and as time goes on we hope to make such improvements on it as will be of considerable benefit to the de- partment.
Having no funds available for our use under Chapter 763, Acts of 1913, which was passed for the benefit of mothers with depend- ent children, and which requires overseers to aid such cases as come within the law and the rules laid down by the State Board
-154-
of Charity, the Selectmen set aside a sum for this purpose from the Contingent account. Of this amount we have spent but $32.85, having aided but one case as yet under the provisions of this act, but in all probability the next year, 1914, will see many more applicants, therefore we ask for an appropriation of $2,000.00 in order to be prepared for the anticipated work under this law.
Outside aid was given to 218 persons including those who were living and aided in some other town or city in the Common- wealth but whose settlement is here. Aid to persons in the Alms- house and other institutions are as follows :

A suitable number of drains to draw off water to prevent freezing. Also located and placed faucets to allow the use of water in caring for lots.
The 21/2 in. pipe we connected with the water main on Samoset street near the northwest boundary of Vine Hills Cemetery. At this point we have laid out an avenue 20 feet wide, running in a southerly direction from Samoset Street, having in mind the sale of lots in this section of Vine Hills Cemetery.
We would like to lay 660 feet more of 2 1/2 inch pipe making a connection with the present Summer Street supply, thus com- pleting what would be a fair water supply for both Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries.
For this, we recommend a special appropriation of $300.00.
