CHARLES B. CUSHING,
Town Accountant.
REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The report of the Overseers of the Poor for the year ending December 31, 1912, is respectfully submitted as follows :-
TOWN HOME AND FARM.
In the latter part of the month of March the board received from Henry F. Cater his' resignation as superintendent of the home, the same to take effect on April first. The resignation of Mr. Cater was accepted and we at once opened negotiations with- James W. Eldridge, then in Winchendon, to take charge of the home. Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge were under consideration for the position in the spring of 1911, but at that time did not see fit to change their location. An agreement was entered into with them whereby they were to fulfil the duties of superintendent and matron of the home and employ all needed help for the ordinary running of the establishment for $1,800 for the year, and they entered upon their duties the second week in April.
Our experience with Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge thus far bas justi- fied our opinion that they are peculiarly adapted to the position. Before coming to us they had served six years at the Winchendon Almshouse, previous to which Mr. Eldridge was for several years engaged at the State Farm in Bridgewater.
The conditions at the home were found to be such as to de- mand a quite general renovation of many of the rooms and the relaying of some of the floors.
A beginning was made on this work and six of the rooms which were in the worst condition were thoroughly renovated, but with- out a special appropriation we did not feel at liberty to do all that should be done. We recommend that the work be continued the coming year until all of the rooms are put in proper condition.
We have visited the house at frequent intervals during the sea- son and are convinced that good conscientious work is being done and that the management is such as to promote the well-being of the inmates and the interests of the town. The work upon the
104
farm has been handled with intelligence and with satisfactory re- sults. All of the inmates who are fit for manual labor are re- quired to work according to their several abilities. The fence rows have been cleared of brush, thereby adding much to the ap- pearance of the farm; also a tract of about two acres of the rough land is now under process of reclaiming and is expected to be available for tillage purposes the coming season.
With the great majority of the inmates men, many of whom are addicted to the use of intoxicants, it has been true in the past that liquors have been brought upon the premises to a consider- able extent.
When Mr. Eldridge assumed the duties of his office he was cautioned to give special attention to the regulation concerning this offence, and he has, we believe, faithfully enforced the regu- lation. Every person who comes to the house as an inmate, if suspicion exists in this respect, is examined, and if liquor is found on him it is confiscated.
INMATES.
The whole number of those who have been inmates of the home for the whole or a portion of the year is 67, 53 of whom were males and 14 females. Number remaining Dec. 31-34. These were in age as follows :
Under 20 years of age

DEATHS.
The number of deaths which have occurred is 6.
RECOMMENDATION.
It will be necessary to shingle the north side of the house the coming season, which together with the needed interior improve- ments, will call for an outlay of about $1,000.
The net cost of running the home has been $5,643 27
The cost per week for each inmate . 3 83
105
POOR OUT OF THE HOUSE.
We are glad to be able to report a somewhat improved condition in regard to expenditures for the outside poor. It has been our endeavor to keep the account as low as possible without injustice to the worthy poor whom by misfortune or the death of the wage earner have been forced to apply for public relief.
The amount expended in this department has been $1,237 less than for the-previous year.
We hope this is an indication of a permanent improvement in the showing of this account.
The whole number aided was as follows :- Of the town's poor 194 individuals, in 123 families of one or more, of whom 55 were males and 98 females. In addition to the above we have aided 41 individuals in 26 familes of one or more who have no settle- ment in this town.
The cost for the department has been as follows :-
For the town's poor
$6,549 16
In city hospitals
278 36
For those having no settlement here 1,538 86
Total
$8,366 38
The physicians appointed to attend the poor were as follows : For Ward One and the Town Home, William A. Drake; Ward Two, John C. Fraser; Ward Three, Franklin P. Virgin; Ward Four, Karl H. Granger ; Ward Five, Edward N. Mayberry.
In our opinion the time has arrived when the town should con- sider seriously the erection of a new building for our Town Home.
The present building has for several years been subject to criti- cism by the State Board of Charity. It has served its purpose for about seventy-five years, but is entirely inadequate to meet the present day requirements for a building of this character. Wo do not expect that any action will be taken in regard to the matter at the coming town meeting further than possibly to choose a committee to take it under consideration and report at a future . meeting.
We learned recently that two small lots of land on the easterly side of Essex Street, belonging to Martin Killoury, were upon the market. This land is immediately opposite the town farm, and it seemed to us that it would be very objectionable to have it
106
built upon, perhaps by parties who might prove objectionable neighbors.
We obtained a price from Mr. Killoury, which seemed reason- 1 able to us, viz. : $125, and have purchased the land. We trust this action will meet the approval of the town.
