OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The number of paupers at the Almshouse is fifty-nine, or an increase of nearly one-fifth upon the number of last year and of more than one-fourth of that of 1874.
The Institution was visited and inspected by the Board of Overseers of the Poor, assisted by several of the past and present members of the City Government on Thursday, October 26th, and found to be in its usual good condition ; and the Superin- tendent and Matron were commended by the Visitors for the care and fidelity with which they have discharged their duties during the many years they have had the management of the place, and they, at that time, notified the Board that with the present year they should terminate their services ; as the increased duties by the continual enlargement of the family of the inmates, as well as the burden of years and infirmities, warned them that it was time that they should retire. The announcement was received with regret, and the city may be considered fortunate should the Board succeed in filling their positions with successors who remain as long and give as good satisfaction as they have done.
The buildings remain the same as last year ; all of them in first class condition, and the whole institution may be shown with pride as a model establishment of its kind.
The Farm shows the effect of the dressing it has received since the establishment of the Scavenger Department, the crops being materially increased, and the corn and hay being more than was . ever raised on the farm in any previous year.
On Wednesday, November 22nd, 1876, the several members of the Board of Overseers of the Poor, assisted by the Board of Assessors, met at the City Almshouse for the purpose of mak- ing the annual appraisal, and reported as follows :-
96 Acres of cleared land .
$7,680 00

During the year, the fences and wall upon the premises have been thoroughly repaired and a considerable amount of stone- wall rebuilt. The Curtis Lot, so-called, has been graded and cleared of stones, increasing considerably its value, not only for the larger amount of hay which will be produced, but also much improving it for the purpose for which it was purchased, as it is from this lot that the water supply for the use of the institution is obtained.
During the past year, a large well or reservoir has been exca- vated in the ledge at the highest part, at a cost of $380.00, thereby not only increasing the supply of water, but also storage capacity for any emergency that may arise in case of drought or fire. This is of much importance as several of the buildings are of wood, and as most of the inmates at the Farm could render but little service if called upon to aid in the extinction of a fire. As a further precaution, the location being so far from the city, we would suggest the expediency of extending the fire alarm to them, thereby providing an opportunity for calling upon the Fire Department, in case of a conflagration, before the whole of the buildings should be consumed.
A descriptive list of the persons provided for at the Institution during the year, with their age and place of birth, is annexed.
