REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


The Overseers of the Poor of the town of Weymouth present herewith their annual report, together with the Auditors' appraisal of personal property at the Almshouse, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1890.


ALMSHOUSE.


Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cummings have continued in charge of the Almshouse and farm during the past year, and their management has been very satisfactory to the Overseers. By referring to the accompanying statement, it will be seen that the cost of maintain- ing this branch of the Poor department has been $1,036.79 less than for the year 1889. This reduction in the cost of maintenance is due largely to the prudence, economy, and good judgment shown by our superintendent and matron in their method of conducting the affairs of the institution. The number of inmates has been somewhat less than the average of the past five years, but there has been more sickness than usual among them. Five deaths have occurred during the year, viz., Elbridge Colson, Abner Cushing, John Collopy, Mrs. William Ryan, and William H. Stetson, the last named having been a boarder. The receipts from the sale of farm produce have been small, owing to the partial failure of crops, but from other sources, and particularly from the sale of wood, they have been larger than usual.


The amount of assistance rendered to the poor, out of the Alms- house, has been less than last year, but payments to cities and other towns have increased, as has also the cost of supporting our insane patients. The cost of this class of paupers will be still further increased during the coming year, as several new cases have recently been removed to hospitals.


The term of Dr. Edwin Mayberry, who has served during the


102


past three years as Town Physician, expires early in January, and, as he declines to serve another year, Dr. William A. Drake and Dr. Edwin N. Mayberry have been appointed, the former to have charge of Wards One, Two, and Three, and of the Alms- house, at a salary of $175 per year, and the latter of Wards Four and Five, at a salary of $75.


As the old shed which stood in the Almshouse yard was not considered worth repairing, it was torn down, and a new one ninety by thirty feet was built in a more convenient location near the street. This building will be used for the storage of wagons and wood, and will give our inmates, as well as numerous tramps that we have to accommodate, a sheltered place for work in bad weather. The old henhouse was also torn down, and a new one built in the rear of the barn. The other building, which is used as a work- shop and tramp house, has been moved back about fifteen feet, thereby giving better yard room. Another room has been fin- ished off in this building, for the use of inmates of the house. The cost of all the above-mentioned improvements has been $895.73, and this amount is carried to " Improvement Account."


We are much in need of more barn room, as the present barn will not hold the hay that grows on the farm. Last fall it was necessary to store fifteen tons of hay in the new shed, and the year before ten tons were stacked outside. The Board would recommend the appropriation of $1,000 for the purpose of build- ing a new barn or adding to the present one.


The cost for the year of maintaining the poor of the town has been $10,500.31, and there has been expended for the State, cities, and towns, and for other purposes, the sum of $3,344.26, making the total expenditure on Poor Account $13,844.57, leaving unexpended $2,976.82 of the sum appropriated, to cover expenses to April 1, 1891.


Respectfully submitted,


J. CLARENCE HOWE, HENRY A. NASH, JACOB F. DIZER, LEONARD V. TIRRELL, E. ATHERTON HUNT,


Overseers of the Poor.
