FINAL STATEMENT.
During the year 1906 the following payments will come due, which are to be included in the tax levy for that year by votes which the town has already passed, except water, which is paid from income of plant :

Appropriations since annual meeting,
·
16,332 00
Total,
. $41,382 00
In addition to above, there will be required about $33,000 to pay interest, but as there is an unexpended balance of $1,517.69, and as interest on sewer and water bonds will probably be appropriated from assesements and receipts of those departments, this will reduce the amount to be voted for interest to $13,000.00.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT W. FLINT,
WAKEFIELD, Feb. 6, 1906.

Report of the Overseers of the Poor
The Overseers of the Poor would make the following re- port :
At the annual town meeting Messrs. Cutter, Mason and Bowman were elected Overseers of the Poor. Mr. Cutter being at the time critically ill did not qualify and died March 29th, 1905. Mr. Cutter was first elected an Over- seer March 7, 1892, and with the exception of one year served the town continuously until his death. He was of a genial, generous disposition and made a large circle of friends.
At a joint meeting of the Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor, held April 13, Mr. Andrew G. Anderson was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Cutter's death.
The farm is in good condition, though the house needs considerable inside repairs, as does the barn also.
The farm has produced about 45 tons of hay, as well as the usual amount of other produce. The health of the in- mates has been good. The receipts of the Dept. have been $3,759.86; of this amount $1,827.78 was for milk, and $1,124.99 came from the guardian of Solon Green, an in- mate of Danvers Hospital. For this reason we did not ask for an appropriation at the the November meeting, thinking we could get along, but by not doing so we have run short of funds. We owe bills amounting to about one thousand dollars, while out of our annual appropriation of the March meeting we had to pay seven or eight hundred dollars' worth of last year's bills.
The tramp question has been settled by the new law passed last year, and the Board have discontinued the use of
237
the tramp house. Very few persons now apply to the po- lice for assistance. Last year no wood was cut upon the farm, so we had to buy wood for the outside poor. The Park department turned over to our Dept. about 70 cords of wood, mostly hard, which we had to haul from Hart's Hill and elsewhere ; this was mostly in long lengths and we had to cut it to use. About 50 cords of this is trash, 20 cleft wood. The Park Dept. have our thanks for the same and we will make good use of it.
We have paid out $31.50 which has been refunded and does not appear in our report.
