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 December 31, 1900, together with the appraisal of property at the Almshouse, made By the Auditors January 1, 1901.
ALMSHOUSE.
Charles F. Atkinson and wife were in charge of the establish- ment at the beginning of the year, and continued until April first, when they tendered their resignation.
The Board visited the Almshouse in Hopkinton, which was then in charge of William T. Brown and wife, and after a careful ex- amination of the management there, we employed Mr. and Mrs. Brown to take charge of our house and farm at a salary of $1,100.00, they to hire and pay for whatever help was needed for the ordinary running of the place. As by reason of an increased number of inmates, some of whom needed constant care, the labor and responsibility of the position was largely increased soon after the coming of Mr. Brown, the salary was raised to $1,200.00.
They have completed the year at the house, and have proved themselves careful and energetic in the management of its affairs. The cost has been $2,757.12, an increase of $375.34 over that of last year ; this has resulted in part from the necessity of purchas- ing considerable quantities of hay, which became necessary by reason of the scarcity of forage crops on the farm, owing to the excessively dry seasons of 1899 and. 1900; and in part by the
130
expenditure of about $300.00 for permanent improvements, of which no separate account is made.
An unusual condition has existed by reason of the number who have been received during the year, who have no settlement in this town, a number of whom were taken to the house for care when sick.
As the bills for several of these cases had not been collected at the close of the year, their accounts have been credited to the cost of the house, and carried to the expense for other towns and cities, as it would otherwise make an erroneous showing for the cost of the house.
DEATHS.
Six deaths have occurred during the year, as follows :-
Charles E. Raymond, January 19, aged 50 years.
Timothy Duhig, (a state case) March 9, aged 46 years. John W. Gillion, May 14, aged 98 years.
James Vining, (a boarder) May 31, aged 75 years. Ferdinand Loud, (a boarder) July 15, aged 70 years. Jacob W. French, September 20, aged 64 years.
There have been forty-nine inmates during the year, of whom thirty-one were the town's poor; of these twenty-seven remain at the close of the year, of whom twenty-two are the town's poor.
The number of tramps lodged and fed, has been 588.
ASSISTANCE RENDERED OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
There has been a marked increase in the amount of aid rendered to this class, with no apparent reason why there should be more destitution than in the preceding year.
For the town's poor $8,125.85 has been expended, this being an increase of $970.18 over the cost of 1899.
The number of families and single persons so helped has been 110, comprising 225 individuals.
There has also been an increase in the aid and support of the state's poor, and those having settlements in other places ;
131
$2,458.65 being the amount so expended ; an advance of $618.23 over the year 1899.
The number of families and single persons has been thirty-two, · comprising eighty individuals.
HOSPITALS.
For the maintenance at hospitals and other institutions there has been no material change, the cost being $3,090.43.
The number so maintained for the whole or a portion of the year, at the cost of the town, has been twenty-five, of whom eighteen remained at the close of the year.
Three who were permanent inmates of insane hospitals have died, and one for whom the town has paid for many years has now been acknowledged as a state charge, and we expect to recover to the town the money which has been expended on his account.
TOWN PHYSICIANS.
The following physicians were employed for the care of the poor :- Dr. W. A. Drake, for Ward 1 and the almshouse, at a salary of $100; Dr. J. C. Fraser, for Ward 2, at a salary of $60 ; Dr. G. W. Tinkham, for Ward 3, at a salary of $50; Dr. K. H. Granger, for Ward 4, at a salary of $40, and Dr. E. N. Maberry, for Ward 5, at a salary of $50.
