REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
To the Citizens of the Town of Acton :
We were called upon to care for a widow and children for a neighboring town for three months. We have received re- imbursements for this expense. We are now caring for a deserted mother and daughter and expect to obtain re-imburse- ment from another nearby town or from the state.
We had two hospital cases, both of which were expensive and one of our regular charges has had to have hospital treat- ment during the year. We have had two deaths.
After careful investigation, we assumed the care of three additional cases during the year.
We close the year caring for three people, all of whom are elderly and in need of frequent medical attendance, and for two people who do not have a settlement with us.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT R. JENKS, HARRY B. MORSE, MURRAY BROWN.
