THE REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor of the town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1895, together with the Auditor's appraisal of property at the almshouse made Jan. 1, 1896.
ALMSHOUSE.
The establishment has continued under the efficient management of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cummings, and the same compensa- tion has been given for their services as last year, viz .- $850.00
The premises, both indoors and out, have, when visited by the Overseers been uniformly found in a neat and satisfactory con- dition, and the inmates comfortably provided for.
The number of inmates has increased during the year, there being on Dec. 31 thirty-eight, including four soldiers and two widows of soldiers, as boarders under the provisions of Chap. 447.
There have been two deaths, the first, Josiah Thayer, a boarder, aged 77, who died April 30, and Ebenezer F. Colson, aged 61, who died June 6, and whose estate was sold after his death by the Overseers, and an amount realized therefrom, sufficient to reim- burse the town for their expense on his account.
There has been one birth during the year.
The expense to the town has been somewhat larger than last year, which is accounted for by the increased number in the house, and the loss to the farm of the school work of carting coal and supplying wood.
The number of tramps who have been provided with food and lodgings has been 1,854, a slight decrease from last year.
The cost of maintenance has been $2.38 + per week, an increase of .26 over last year.
ASSISTANCE RENDERED OUT OF THE ALMSHOUSE.
This department of poor aid has given much anxiety to the Board during the year, both on account of the increased number
136
of applications, and the fact that there are a number of cases re- quiring quite large amounts, and which there has seemed no way of carrying at a reduced cost. Among these are three cases of paralysis, each requiring an expenditure of from $3.50 to $7.00 per week, and a number of cases where the death of the husband has left the widow with four or five small children, depending principally upon charity for their support. None of these cases can, in the opinion of the Board, be handled with any more econ- omy at the almshouse.
