REPORT OF THE CHARLTON POOR FARM ASSOC'N For the year ending December 31, 1917.
In presenting this annual report, the Management of the Association feel gratified that in spite of the fact that every necessity of life costs more than last year, the cost per week has been brought down considerably. The Association is for- tunate in being able to retain the services of Mr. and Mrs. Carl M. Wheeler as Warden and Matron for another year, beginning April 1, 1918.
The Town of Charlton has repainted the entire interior of the house and installed a large refrigerator. The refrigerator is large enough to hold supplies of meats and vegetables in sufficient quantities, so that they can be bought at wholesale, thereby making quite a saving.
The officers of the Association are :-
President,
William H. Parkman, Oakham, Mass.
Vice-President,
Aaron L. Potter, Holden, Mass.
Secretary and Treasurer, Louis M. Hanff, Rutland, Mass. Auditors, Horace P. Jacobs, Auburn, Mass., and A. Fred Put- nam, Charlton, Mass.
