REPORT
OF THE
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
ALMSHOUSE AND FARM.
The whole amount of orders drawn for the support of the poor at the almshouse, repairs of buildings and outside poor is $5, 49928. For the almshouse, $2,088 against $2,225 last year. The whole number of inmates during the year was 23, with an average of 17 all the year. The net cost with full support was $1.50 per week, which includes services of superintendent and matron, all hired labor and services of physician. The invento- ry of personal property is $3,366, a gain of $65 over last year. The expenditures have been kept within the appropriation with balances to the credit of each account. The superintendent and matron, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Northup, as in former years, have given satisfaction in the discharge of their duties both in regard to care of inmates and farm property, and have been en- gaged for another year, which will make their eleventh year of continuous service. For the support of poor at the almshouse we recommend for the ensuing year $2,000, for outside poor $2,500, repairs of buildings $ 100.
