THE REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor submit herewith their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1898, together with the Audi- tor's appraisal of property at the almshouse, made January 2. 1899 :-
ALMSHOUSE.
At the beginning of the year Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Atkinson succeeded Mr. and Mrs. George B. Rolfe in the management of the insitution. They have continued in control to the date of this report and their services have been secured for the ensuing year.
One or more of the board have visited the house without an- nouncement every week, or oftener and have found at all times the discipline to be good and the house to be in a cleanly and comfortable condition. The inmates appear to be well cared for and as contented as could be expected of them under any manage- ment which had the interests of the town as well as their comfort under proper consideration. We have found the food always of good quality, and of sufficient amount.
The farming operations have been well conducted and several acres of new land brought under cultivation, and the superinten- dent has shown himself a man who strives to drive his work rather than have his work drive him.
. No expenses of an extraordinary nature have been incurred on account of the house or farm. An extension has been built upon the sheds for the accommodation of the road machines at a cost of $157.47. which has been paid for from this account, though not properly chargeable to it.
157
We are glad to show an unusually low cost for the establish- ment, as will appear in the following detailed account, viz. : $2,478.37, the per capita being $1.75.+
The number who have been inmates for the whole or a portion of the year, not including boarders, and those having no settle- ment in this town and pay for whose support has been in part received, and placed to the credit of the house, is thirty-seven.
There have been four deaths during the year, as follows :
Robert Corthell, aged 75 years, who died January 17; Seth C. Blackwell, aged 76 years, who died May 4: Michael McCarty, aged 58 years, who died June 29 ; and Henry Carr, aged 74 years, who died December 19.
By the operation of chap. 425, sec. 2, of the acts of 1898, four of the inmates become state charges. and the state anthorities have been notified accordingly.
The number of tramps who have been provided with food and lodgings has been 1182. a decrease of 255 from the report of last voar.
HOSPITALS, ETC.
The cost at hospitals and other institutions has been $3, 109.47, an increase of $538.88 over that of 1897.
The number of these cases has been 23. two greater than that of last year, one of these is a case which has heretofore been paid by relatives but which the town now has to assume.
All of the inmates of asylums, for whose support the town pays, have been visited by us during the year and their conditions found to be as favorable as the circumstances of their respective cases would warrant ns to expect.
POOR OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
We regret to be obliged to report this class of aid as still con- tinuing very heavy. After visiting all the cases at the beginning of the year the whole list was revised and in most instances the amounts were reduced from those of last year and we hoped to
158
make a material improvement in the showing of this department ; but with the new cases which it became necessary to take on this hope has not been realized, and the close of the year shows but $50.96 improvement over the report of last year, the cost for the town's poor out of the house being $7,282.02.
This is the only division of the poor department which is sus- ceptible of any reduction' and it is not easy to see, if the present, calls continue, how a smaller amount can be made to serve the purpose.
The method has been adopted in some places of supplying the outside poor from the almshouse with their groceries, and by pur- chasing at wholesale prices and charging an advance on this suf- ficient to cover the cost of distribution, a considerable saving is said to be effected. We offer this suggestion as worthy of con- sideration, and perhaps of trial.
There has been a decided increase in the cost for the State poor and for those having settlements in other places, the amount being $1,588.43; that of 1897 was $854.95.
TOWN PHYSICIANS.
The following physicians were appointed for one year from June 6 :
Dr. W. A. Drake, for Ward 1 and the Almshouse, at a salary of $100; Dr. J. C. Fraser, for Ward 2, at $60; Dr. F. P. Virgin, for Ward 3, at $50; Dr. K. H. Granger, for Ward 4, at $40 ; and Dr. E. N. Mayberry, for Ward 5, at $50.
The appropriations at the last annual meeting were $16,895.84.
There has been expended $15,746, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,149.10.
