SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The undersigned, Selectmen of Quincy, herewith submit the seventy-sixth Annual Report of the receipts and expenditures of said town, and respectfully offer such explanations and sugges- tions as to them seem proper.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The Town, at the anuual meeting in March last, made the fol- lowing appropriations, viz. : Schools, teaching and fuel, $16,018. For all other expenses, $29,600; total amount $45,618. Sub- sequent to voting the appropriations, the Town voted and author- ized a committee to contract for a soldiers' monument, and also voted to light street lamps, making no appropriations therefor.
POOR IN ALMSHOUSE.
The expense of maintaining our poor in the Almshouse has been somewhat less than that of the previous year.
The establishment has continued under the management of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Morse, and we have occasion for much gratitude to them for their continued interest in those under their care. The present number of inmates is eight ; admitted during the year, six ; discharged two ; died two. The number of aged and female travelling paupers taken in for a night, sixty-six. Early in the spring the large number of traveling paupers applying for assist- ance induced us to make a change in the manner of providing for them ; accordingly, under our direction, the lock-up was thoroughly cleansed, whitewashed, and furnished with comfortable bedding, for the accommodation of that class of persons, except females and aged men, who are sent to the Almshouse. The number lodged at the lock-up is 169.
43
POOR OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
Notwithstanding the severity of the present winter, the ex- penditures under this head are less than that of the previous year. The number of persons supported in the Lunatic Hospital during the year is five. The amount of expenditures for these unfortunates we cannot control, as they cannot be provided for at our Almshouse. In April last, the city of Boston notified us that the price of board of the inmates of South Boston Hospital would be raised to seven dollars per week. We visited the State Hospital at Taunton, and were convinced by a careful inspection of the institution, that the inmates were equally if not better provided for than at the former place, and at one-half the expense ; accordingly the two inmates chargeable to this Town were removed to Taunton. We have assisted quite a number of our poor, believing that a little timely assistance will often prevent parties from becoming a public charge.
