REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor submit herewith their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1899, together with the audi- tor's appraisal of property at the Almshouse made January 1, 1900.
ALMSHOUSE.
The institution has remained under the careful and economical administration of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Atkinson, and their services have been secured for the ensuing year.
Notwithstanding the extremely dry season, by reason of which the farm crops were reduced by the value of several hundred dol- lars, the receipts on account of the house and farm have been almost exactly the same as they were for 1898, viz., $2,815.16. The shortage of the hay crop will, however, show against the ac- count for 1900 by about $200.00, as it will be necessary to pur- chase that amount to carry the stock through the winter.
The cost at the house for ordinary expenses has been $2,381.78, being $96.59 less than for last year.
The per capita cost has been $2.13 a week.
We have carried out some long contemplated improvements, by which the well-being of the inmates has been promoted and the danger from fire materially reduced.
The house has heretofore had but one bathroom, for men only, and that located in the basement, where, although it answered passably well in the summer, it seemed an unreasonable hardship to compel its use in the winter, there being no facilities for heat- ing it. We have now had two bathrooms furnished on the upper floor, one for men and one for women.
