REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor of the Town of Weymouth respectfully submit the following Report for the year ending Dec. 31, A. D. 1875 : -
Mr. Wilbur C. Austin and wife have been retained in charge of the Almshouse and Town Farm during the last year, at the salary of $500, and have discharged their respective duties to the entire satisfaction of the Overseers. The inmates have been made as comfortable as the circumstances of their condition would permit, and their general health has been good.
The committee of ladies chosen at the last annual meeting of the town to visit the Almshouse, and especially to care for its female inmates, has faithfully discharged its duty, and by their counsel and sympathy materially assisted the matron in the performance of her perplexing and responsible task.
The whole number of paupers in the Almshouse during the year has been twenty-five, exclusive of transient inmates ; the average number has been nineteen, and the number at its close is nineteen. The cost of support for each pauper has been $2.21 per week. The number of applicants for outside relief has largely increased during the year, and the amount necessarily expended for their assistance very much exceeds the sum ordinarily required for that purpose, but we felt confident that the town would not be willing that any of the poor who had just claims upon it for aid should be permitted by its officers to suffer for the lack of necessary food or fuel.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT OVERSEERS.
The ladies who were chosen for the purpose of visiting the Alms- house submit the following report : During the year ending Dec. 31st, the Chairman, Mrs. Burrill, has been able to attend but three meet- ings. Mrs. Balch has also made three visits. Mrs. Payne, seven. Mrs. Holbrook and Mrs. Holmes, eight. At these visits we have endeavored as far as possible to ascertain what treatment the woman receive at the hands of the keepers. We have had opportunities to examine their rooms and question them, and all say they have plenty of good wholesome food, comfortable rooms and clothes, and are personally well treated. We have, therefore, no hesitation in saying we believe Mr. and Mrs. Austin to be conscientious in the discharge of their duties.
ELEANOR F. HOLMES,
Secretary.
