Inspector of Animals.


SAUGUS, MASS., Jan. 1, 1907.


I have inspected at slaughter house two of beef cattle and eighty-six hogs and found them to be in good condition.


In making the annual inspection, I examined nine hundred and seventy-one head of cattle and two hundred and fifty-one hogs, all of which, upon physical examination appeared to be free from contagious disease.


For the year of nineteen hundred and six to nineteen hundred and, seven, ending in April, I have delivered twenty-eight licenses.


Respectfully,


A. W. SAWYER.

Total partially supported during year 75 ; 6 fully supported, 5 in Home and I in private house.


In presenting the above report, the Overseers of the Poor, regret that the farm has not made a better showing, but they have no special excuses to make. The home, however, is well kept,-clean and bright, and the inmates, mostly elderly men, one of them in his 96th year, are comfortable and happy, and are just what such an institution should make them. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Burnham, the warden and matron, are well adapted for the management of such an institution, and could care for many more than there are in our home.


228


OVERSEERS' REPORT.


Mr. Burnham, having resigned the wardenship, your overseers will do their best to supply the places made vacant by him and his wife.


As your overseers have kept inside of the appropriation of last year, they recommend that the sum of $3,000 be appropriated for the ensuing year.


Respectfully submitted,


JAMES A. HALLIDAY, GEORGE H. AMES, CHARLES W. BAILEY,


Overseers of Poor.
