REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor of the town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report with the Auditors' appraisal of alms- house property and a statement of the expenditures on account of the poor, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888.
ALMSHOUSE.
Mr. and Mrs. Cummings have continued in charge of the alms- house and farm the past year, and have conducted the same in a manner entirely satisfactory to the Overseers, but we regret to say that owing to the failing health of Mrs. Cummings, caused princi- pally by the increasing cares and responsibilities of the position she occupied, they have been obliged to tender their resignation to take effect on the 1st of February. In parting with Mr. and Mrs. Cummings the town loses the service of two very valuable assistants, who during their years of service have labored faithfully and hon- estly for the comfort and happiness of the inmates of the house, as well as for the best interest of the town.
The number of inmates has averaged about the same as in for- mer years, but the expense of maintenance has the present year been lessened.
The cost of help in the house is gradually increasing, and with the increasing infirmities of the older members of the household and the admission of new cases, which require constant care and attention, we can see no present probability of its being reduced Three deaths have occurred in the house during the year, viz. : Thomas Gammon, Hannah Pedman, and Nellie Beals, a boarder.
The receipts from the farm were more satisfactory than last year, notwithstanding the loss by rotting of some two hundred bushels of potatoes.
91
The amount of assistance rendered to the poor out of the house is a trifle less than last year, but the amount paid to cities and towns for assistance rendered to our poor shows quite a large in- crease.
Two of our insane patients at hospitals have died, and three new patients have been placed in hospitals during the year. The expense of maintenance of the insane shows an increase over last year.
