REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The report of the Overseers of the Poor for the year ending December 31, 1913, is hereby respectfully submitted :
TOWN HOME.
The result of the year's work at the Town Home and farm has been satisfactory. Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge were engaged for the year ending April 1, 1914, on the same terms as for the previous year, viz. : The pay to be $1,800, this to include whatever hired help is needed for the ordinary running of the house and farm. The work of renovating the rooms has been continued, also the northerly side of the roof of the house has been shingled.
There are still several rooms which should be renovated.
When this is done and some minor repairs completed, the house will be in as good condition as could be expected in so old a building.
The premises are found at all times scrupulously clean.
The condition of the inmates, so far as can be accomplished by the superintendent and matron, is fully as satisfactory as that in any other of the institutions of the kind with which we are acquainted. We believe it is the sincere desire and constant effort of the matron, upon whom more particularly the cares of the house devolve, to make it indeed a " Home " for the aged and destitute men and women who through adverse circumstances have no other home in which to spend their declining years.
Mr. Eldridge has worked to make permanent improvements upon the farm. The two acres of reclaimed land of which the last year's report spoke were put under cultivation and produced a satisfactory crop of potatoes.
Another rough piece of land of about three acres is now in process of reclaiming, calling for the removal of several hundred tons of stones and the grubbing out of much small growth of trees and bushes.
107
In view of the continued high price of milch cows and of grain the herd has not been kept up to the number of previous years, it being the opinion of the superintendent that the land can be more advantageously used for raising crops for sale.
We congratulate the superintendent and matron upon the general marked improvement of the house and grounds under their administration.
We have had at the home during the year fifty-eight different inmates, of whom forty-five were males and thirteen females. Of these, five were State cases, two had a settlement in another town and three were soldiers relief boarders.
The ages were as follows :

The number of inmates December 31, was 28.
The net cost for running the house was $5,082.20.
The cost per week for each inmate $3.64.
POOR OUT OF THE HOUSE.
Contrary to our expectations, there has been a decided increase in the cost of this department over that of the previous year.
This increase has for the greater part occurred in the case of our poor who have been aided in other towns and cities, and of the poor aided here who had a settlement elsewhere.
This increase in cost over the preceding year was $1,859.09.
We have aided of the town's poor, 193 individuals in 96 families of one or more, of whom 75 were males and 118 females.
We have also aided of those having a settlement elsewhere and State cases, 75 individuals in 24 families of one of more.

MOTHERS WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN.
Something of a revolution will be occasioned by the operation of the law enacted by the last Legislature (Chap. 763, Acts of 1913) in relation to mothers with dependent children, which pro- vides that :
" In every city and town the overseers of the poor shall, sub- ject to the provisions of the subsequent sections of this act, aid all mothers with dependent children under fourteen years of age, if such mothers are fit to bring up their children.
" The aid furnished shall be sufficient to enable the mothers to bring up their children properly in their own homes; and such mothers and their children shall not be deemed to be paupers by reason of receiving aid as aforesaid."
So far as this law applies to families now receiving aid in this town it will not call for so large an increase in the appropriation as in many places, as it has long been the custom to grant more liberal aid to this class than is the practice in most towns and cities.
There is, however, a large element of uncertainty, inasmuch as it may fairly be supposed that some mothers who would get along without applying for aid under the old law will take advantage of the new law to obtain public assistance in rearing their children.
It is inevitable but that there will be a demand for a largely increased appropriation for the outside poor by reason of the new law.
The physicians appointed to attend the poor are : William H. Drake, for Ward One and the Town Home; John C. Fraser, for Ward Two; Lewis Pease, for Ward Three ; Karl H. Granger, for Ward Four ; Edwin C. Mayberry, for Ward Five.
109
The overseers have permitted the Street Department to set up the stone crusher upon the Town Farm near the Broad street en- trance, there being an abundant supply of stone of a good quality to last for many years which can be delivered at the crusher at as reasonable a price as any location with which we are acquainted. This is a central location and it is hoped that arrangements can be made with the street railway company to transport the broken stone to the different parts of the town.
Five cents a ton is allowed for the raw material. Most of the product of the plant has been used upon the streets the past season, and the proceeds have been placed to the credit of the farm.
About fifty tons of broken stone are now at the plant.
