REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The Overseers of Poor in presenting their report for the year 1914 feel that they have performed their duties to the best of their judgment.
Many new laws are being enacted by the State which require much time and expense in order to carry out the law.
The law relating to mothers with dependent children under 14 years of age is at present costing the town a large amount, and later on will cost considerably more, as we have a number of applications on file.
Owing to the labor trouble that was prominent this past summer, and to the present business depression, the board is still the recipient of many applications for aid. Many neces. sary improvements and repairs have been made at the Farm the past year. There are twelve inmates at the almshouse at present, seven males and five females.
The Home is in good condition, and the inmates are well cared for by the superintendent and matron, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Hallowell.
HUGH CONNELL, Chairman, ALBERT D. CATE, Secretary, GEORGE E. ZWICKER.
