OVERSEERS' REPORT.
Your Board of Overseers of this department was very fortunate, on the Ist of April last when Mr. Burnham retired from the Wardenship of the Town Home, by securing the services of Carl F. Koch, a successful farmer, who had resided in the Town over eleven years, as Warden of the Home, and also, his estimable and capable wife as Matron, which was a guarantee that the Home would be well managed, and with fair conditions, successful, which has proved to be the case. The house, stables and out-buildings are kept in excellent condition and show the care and labor expended.
We recommend that the sum of $2,800 be appropriated for use of the Board for the ensuing year.
JAMES A. HALLIDAY, GEORGE H. AMES, CHARLES W. BAILEY, Overseers of the Poor.
