REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor submit herewith their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1893, together with the Auditor's appraisal of personal property at the Almshouse, made Jan. 1, 1894.
ALMSHOUSE.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cummings still continue in charge of the house and farm, and have conducted the management of the same in a manner very satisfactory to the overseers ; their salary was increased on April 1, to $850 per year. The number of in- mates, including boarders, is thirty-one, being somewhat less than the average for the year. There have been two deaths in the house during the year : viz., Nancy Nash and Charles Henry.
The cost for maintenance has been $2.84+ per week, being an increase over last year of eleven cents.
ASSISTANCE RENDERED OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
During the first nine months of the year the calls for assistance out of the house were less than usual, but since that time they have increased, and at the close of the year were increasing with the probability of continuing to do so through the winter. Pay- ments to cities and towns for aid rendered to our poor have been larger, while the cost of supporting our insane patients has been less than last year.
Drs. W. A. Drake and E. N. Mayberry are still serving as Town Physicians, their term of service expiring on the 24th of January, but it is probable that arrangements will be made with them to continue through the coming year.
The cost for the year for the maintenance of the Town's poor has been, $10,744.70, and there has been paid on account of the poor of the State, cities, and towns and for other purposes, the sum of
109
$2,097.47 making the total expenditure for the year on poor account, $12,842.17. The appropriation for the year, including the unexpended balance of 1892 of $1,444.23, was $15,444.23, leaving an unexpended balance of $2,602.06 to cover expenses of the poor department to April 1, 1894.
Respectfully submitted,
J. CLARENCE HOWE, HENRY A. NASH, , HIRAM E. RAYMOND, JOHN F. DWYER, FRANCIS H. COWING,
WEYMOUTH, Jan. 1, 1894.
