REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
THE Overseers of the Poor respectfully submit their annual report, together with the Auditors' appraisal of almshouse prop- erty, and a statement in detail of expenses for support of the poor for the year ending Dec. 31, 1885.
The almshouse still continues in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cummings, who have performed their varied duties in a manner highly satisfactory to the Overseers.
Their labors during the past year have been unusually arduous and perplexing, and the town were fortunate in having the man- agement of affairs there in such able hands.
Four deaths have occurred in the house during the year, three of which were persons well advanced in years ; otherwise the health of the inmates has been good.
The receipts of the farm are gradually increasing, and we can see no reason why, with the present management, they should not continue, to increase still more in the future.
It will be noticed by our memorandum that the sale of wood con- stitutes a large percentage of the receipts, showing that the pur- chase of the wood lot a few years since, together with the pur- chase of several hundred cords of standing wood more recently, has proved a valuable investment for the town, not only as a source of profit, but as a means of giving employment to such of the inmates as are able to perform light labor, and who otherwise might be inclined to be mischievous and troublesome. The wood- pile also gives employment to the hundreds of tramps that we are obliged to furnish with lodging and breakfast, and who are usually required to perform a given amount of labor before leaving the place.
And the Board would here suggest that the town instruct its dif- ferent departments which require wood to purchase the same at the
92
almshouse, provided the price shall be no higher than wood as well prepared can be obtained for elsewhere.
The expense of maintaining the almshouse has been considerably in excess of last year, owing principally to the increased number of inmates. The cost per week, however, has been reduced, being $1.752 per week for each inmate, against $1.88 in 1884. The amount of assistance rendered the poor in town out of the house shows an increase of about one hundred and fifty dollars over last year. The number of persons assisted has also increased. Our most expensive case is that of Mr. Thos. Gammon, in Ward 1, who required the constant attention of a nurse both day and night. The matter of his removal to the almshouse has been considered, but owing to its crowded state, no room suitable for a person in his condition could be provided. But as soon as rooms in the new building can be prepared, the Overseers would recommend his re- moval to them at once.
Claims upon us from cities and other towns have been unusually large, covering some expensive cases. That of Geo. F. Groves, an inmate of Taunton Lunatic Hospital, has been in dispute be- tween our town and Cohasset for the past two years, but we were finally obliged to acknowledge the settlement, it having been gained through the military settlement of the father, who served as a soldier in the quota of this town. Michael Donovan also had a military settlement in this town. At the time that notice of his sickness was received by the Board he was too ill to be removed ; we were therefore obliged to let him remain with his family at Winchester, where, after a sickness of a few months' duration, he died, leaving a large number of children, who fortunately are now being provided for by relatives, and it is hoped that no further aid will be required by them. The case of Prince Mckenzie should have gone into the report of last year, but the bills were not re- ceived in season.
Four new names have been added to our list of patients at luna- tic hospitals. One has been discharged and is now self-support- ing, and a committee of our Board who has recently visited Taun- ton reports that the attending physician thinks that one other now there can with safety be removed to the almshouse, and the
93
Board would recommend that it be done as soon as room can be provided.
Two attempts were made during the fall to destroy the almshouse property by fire, and had not the Superintendent and Matron exer- cised great coolness and judgment in handling the fire the attempt would doubtless have proved successful. The inmates are also enti- tled to credit for valuable assistance rendered. Opinions are divided as to by whom the attempt to destroy the property was made, but the Overseers are inclined to the belief that had there been fewer professionals engaged in working up the case the guilty party might have been discovered.
Considering the frequent attempts that were being made to destroy the property, the Overseers thought it advisable to insure, which they did to the amount of $4,550. A mechanic's risk for $5,000 had previously been placed upon the house to cover during the building of the extension, making a total of, now on the prop- erty, $9,550. By the burning of the Pest House, upon which there was no insurance, the town suffered a loss of from $1,000 to $1,200.
Early in the spring proposals were solicited for building the extension to the almshouse, but as no satisfactory bids were re- ceived. the matter rested until September, when a contract was made with Mr. W. P. Marlow, for doing the work above the under- pinning in accordance with plans and specifications, for the sum of $3,300. The building is now nearly completed, but the basement is in an unfinished state, and a further appropriation will be neces- sary to complete it, and also to furnish the new rooms, change the boiler and range, and to extend the heating apparatus. The Board are of the opinion that $3,000 will accomplish all of this work, and would recommend the appropriation of that sum for these pur- poses. We would also recommend that an appropriation be made for the purpose of supplying the house and stable with Great Pond water, not only as a means of protection against fire, but for domes- tic uses. The water in the well near the house has been unfit for months, and all that is used for drinking has to be brought from the well across the street. The cistern, which is of wood, is much out of repair, and nearly useless.

Considerable dissatisfaction having been manifested by the med- ical fraternity of the town regarding the method pursued by the Overseers, during the past two years, of letting out the medical attendance required by the pauper poor to the lowest bidder, it has been thought advisable to adopt the plan of cities and the larger towns of appointing physicians at a fixed salary. The salary estab- lished by the Board is as follows : Two hundred dollars per year for attendance required in Wards 1, 2, and 3, including the almshouse, and one hundred dollars per year for Wards 4 and 5, the salary in both cases to include the furnishing of all medicines and medical appliances required. Two physicians have been appointed, but as yet no notice of their acceptance of the position has been received.
As will be seen from our statement, the total expenditures for the maintenance of the town's poor the past year has been $14,747.68. The expenses the coming year can, no doubt, be somewhat reduced ; but the Overseers, after a careful consideration of the matter, are of the opinion that $13,000 will be required for that purpose, and would therefore recommend the raising and appropriation of that sum.
