REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


The Board of Overseers of the Poor of the Town of Wey- mouth respectfully submit the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1910 :


TOWN HOME AND FARM.


Joseph Cummings was re-elected Superintendent and Mrs. Cummings Matron of the Home for the term ending April 1, 1911, the salary remaining the same as heretofore, viz., $1,000.00.


To those of our citizens who have visited the Home - and we are sorry that the number of such is so small - it is hardly nec- essary to say that the place is always found in a neat condition and all reasonable needs of the inmates are supplied. To care for the number of inmates who are received, of whom the greater part require constant watch care and oversight, calls for qualities in the Superintendent and Matron that are combined in compara- tively few married couples, but which Mr. and Mrs. Cummings possess in an eminent degree.


There have been, for the whole or a portion of the year, fifty- four inmates, nine of whom were boarders or chargeable to other towns or cities or to the State.


Of the above number there remain at the close of the year thirty-seven, of whom thirty are males and seven females.


The ages of those who have been inmates during the year are as follows :


Between 20 and 30 years of age

DEATHS.


Only two deaths have occurred; one of these was a male, sixty-four years of age, and the other a female, eighty-seven years of age, both of whom had been at the Home for several years.


COST.


The net cost as per accountant's report was $5,559.14, being $3.77 per week for each inmate.
