REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor, of the town of Weymouth, respect- fully submit their annual report, with the Auditors' appraisal of almshouse property, and a detailed statement of the expenses of supporting the town poor for the year ending Dec. 31, 1886.
The almshouse property still continues in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cummings, and their management of the affairs con- nected therewith has been very satisfactory to the Overseers. The past year, their salary has been increased to $600, and the same sum has been voted them for the coming year. Considering the perplexities and annoyances of their position, the pay now received by them seems none too large.
No deaths have occurred among the inmates during the year, and their health has been remarkably good.
The receipts from the farm continue to be very satisfactory ; and with the increased revenue derived from the sale of wood, will go far towards the maintenance of the house. The cost of the sup- port of the inmates has increased somewhat over last year, which is accounted for by the increase of salary paid the Superintendent, by the premium paid for insurance on the property, and by the payment of additional help and necessary expenses required for the care of Mr. Gammon. The town, however, is the gainer in this case, as his removal to the house, which took place in May last, will lessen the cost of his support some $600 per annum.
The amount of assistance rendered to those out of the house has been reduced somewhat the present year, although the number aided has been larger, and this amount can be still more reduced in the future, without producing suffering or hardship, by further removals to the house. Claims of cities and other towns upon us for assistance rendered our poor have been reduced. Some bills on this account were not received in season for this report ; the total, however, will be considerably less than last year.
One patient has been removed from hospital to our almshouse, and one new name has been added to our list of patients at hospi-
112
tals. The expense for the maintenance of this department shows a slight increase over last year.
The total expense for the year for the support of poor has been $12,474.37 ; a reduction of $2,300 from last year, and $525.63 less than the sum appropriated for that purpose.
The extension to the almshouse has been completed as per con- tract, and for a sum of $56.36 less than the appropriation.
Considerable work is yet required, however, in the building of walls, and grading of land around the new part, and in the removal of outbuildings, and it is thought to be important for the improve- ment of the sanitary condition of the inmates, that bath-tubs should be set in the room already arranged for that purpose, for their use ; the Board would recommend an appropriation sufficient for these purposes.
Early in the spring, Messrs. Tower and Drake were appointed town physicians, their term of office expiring on the thirty-first day of December, 1886.
The patients confined in hospitals have not been visited by any member of our Board this year ; but, from the best information in our possession, none of them are in a condition that their removal to our almshouse would be prudent.
