During the year fifty-four persons in all have been assisted by the Town, of whom eighteen were taken to the State Alms House. Since May last, when the Poor Farm was purchased, nineteen persons only belonging to the Town have been relieved, and the rest of the first num- ber were sources of expense from the close of the last fiscal year to May last. There are now but eight persons regularly assisted, four at the Farm, and four elsewhere, who are kept with a single exception at a cost of five shillings and one dollar per week each. We can trace this large decrease of applications for aid directly to the change produced in the charitable system of the Town by the purchase of the Farm. It not

only fixes the place of providing for the needy, rendering the giving of alms, to such as from our own midst, apply for rents, firewood, and like family supplies, unnecessary, but also establishes usually a standard price for supporting the poor, to the great pecuniary advantage of the Town. Comparing the items of the above account with other years, their nature and amounts, citizens will see a favorable contrast, being now less in number and amounts, and for different purposes, to a few of those who one year ago composed a large class. The present system is certainly the most economical the Town could adopt if prudently managed.
The past year has been broken, so that it would be difficult to separate items and calculate the exact expense of supporting each person on the Farm. In order to calculate the whole cost, the interest on the Poor Farm should be added to the amount of orders drawn, which from June 12th to February 1st, 1863, amounts to $160 94 Amount of orders drawn during the year as above, 2,525 54

According to the foregoing statement the cost of keeping each person on the Poor Farm per week is $1.34.
There may be some items in the list not properly belonging to the Farm account, which increases the terms proportionally ; but it is sub- stantially correct.
