The stock on hand in this department was valued Feb. 1, and found to amount to $65.73, - a shortage of $9.12, a portion of which has been used in the Almshouse and the remainder is ac- counted for by the goods delivered being figured on the orders a little below cost.
The amount ($178.08) of aid furnished by this department having been included in the preceding statement of "Outside Home Relief," amounting to $965.72, it has been deducted from that total, and the balance, $787.64, is shown as the expense of that item in the opening financial statement; and at the same time in that statement the total purchases for this department ($227.47) are included in the item " Expense of Poor at Alms-
125
house." It was necessary to treat the matter in this manner in order that the statement of "Outside Home Relief" might show the total amount of aid furnished each person in that class.
The goods furnished by this department comprised the following twelve staple articles from which applicants for aid could select : Flour, tea, sugar, beans, pork, fish, potatoes, oat meal, meal, rice, peas, soap.
