REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
THE undersigned, Overseers of the Poor of the Town of Wey- mouth, respectfully submit the following Report, for the year ending February 1, 1871.
The death of Mrs. Aldrich, the Matron of the Almshouse, which occurred on the fifteenth day of September last, was a serious loss to the inmates, to the neighborhood, and to the town; but to her own family the loss was irreparable.
Her discharge of the public duties of her position was such as to secure her the respect and sincere regard of those under her charge, as well as of all those who had opportunities for acquaintance with her character, but in the relation of wife and mother, she had so endeared herself, as to render those thus bereaved by her death, the objects of our deepest sympathy.
But notwithstanding the death of his wife, Mr. Aldrich with the as- sistance of his daughter, who has qualifications unusual at her age, has continued in charge of the House.
The general management of the farm has been similar to that of the two previous years, and has been satisfactory to the Overseers, but the receipts from produce have been considerably less, on account of the protracted drought, which caused an increased consumption of hay, and a failure of the late crops. Owing also to the extreme heat and dryness of the two months following the haying season, coupled with the loss of the services of the Superintendent, on account of the sick- ness and death of Mrs. Aldrich, the receipts for labor upon roads have been somewhat less than we anticipated.
Although deprived for a large portion of the year of the assistance of the Matron, yet the house and its inmates have been well cared for, and the characteristics of her system of management have been con- spicuous throughout the year.
No other death has occurred in the house during the past year, but the amount of sickness among the inmates has been larger than
35
usual. During the year, Mrs. Hannah Joice and Mrs. Lucretia Derby have been discharged, at our request, from the Taunton Lunatic Hospital, and they are now supported among their friends at & consid- erable reduction of expense. Mrs. Abigaill Burrill died at that Hos- pital January 29, 1871, and Mrs. Eliza McCue and Mrs. Margaret Lonergan are now the only lunatics at that hospital, supported by the town.
The average numbers of paupers in the house during the year has been seventeen and three fourths, and the number at its close is eighteen.
Commencing with the year 1866, the auditors of the town have appraised the stock, produce, implements, etc., belonging to the Town Farm, with the exception of the appraisal of February 1, 1870, which was made by the Overseers of the Poor. The change of basis adopted in that appraisal, renders it difficult to determine accurately the cost of the support of the paupers during the past year ; but after making only such reduction as upon examination we are satisfied is required to bring the appraisal of the year 1870 to the same basis as that adopted by the auditors, we find that the apparent cost per week for each pauper,' has been two dollars and fifty-five cents.
