In pursuance of said vote, the Farm and property was sold, and a Contract made by the Overseers, with Mr. Richard Carter, to provide for the paupers then at the Farm, and such others as might need a full support any time during the year, and the meet- ing having dissolved without choosing a Board of Overseers, the further care of the poor devolved upon the undersigned.
