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, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1889.
ALMSHOUSE:
Mr. and Mrs. Cummings remained in charge of the almshouse from the commencment of the year till February first, when they were succeeded by Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Fox, who continued there till the second day of December, at which date Mr. and Mrs. Cummings again assumed the charge at a salary of $1,000 per year for their services.
The number of inmates in the house has averaged somewhat larger than in years past, and there has been considerable more sickness than usual among them. Seven deaths have occurred, viz. : James Doran, Charles Spinks, Albert S. Vinton, Bridget O'Donnell, Mrs. Frank Drayton, Elizabeth Trafton and John O. Foye, the two last named being boarders.
The receipts from the farm, owing to the failure of crops and for other causes, has been very unsatisfactory, which with the increased expense natural to a change of management, together with the large amount paid for help both in the house and on the farm, will account for the increased cost for the maintenance of inmates the present year - the increase having been $851 over last year.
The amount of assistance rendered to the poor out of the house has been $713 less than last year, and that paid to cities and other towns for the support of our poor has been $570 less.
One new name has been added to our list of insane patients in
7
106
hospitals, and one patient has been removed. The cost for main- tenance of the insane in hospitals, has been $246 less than last year.
Edwin Maybury, M. D., has continued to serve as town physi- cian, at a salary of $248 per year.
The cost for the year for the maintenance of the towns' poor has been $12,162.39, and there has been expended on account of aid rendered to those having settlements in other places, for hospital bills (that have been refunded), and for other purposes, $2,950.56, making the total sum expended on poor account for the year, $15,112.91, leaving $1,321.39 of the sum appropriated for this purpose unexpended.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. A. CUSHING,
HENRY A. NASH, WILLIAM NASH, J. CLARENCE HOWE, JACOB F. DIZER, Overseers of the Poor.
