ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE BOARD OF


OVERSEERS OF THE POOR,


FOR THE YEAR 1882.


At the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Board of Overseers of the Poor, held January 5th, 1883, the following Report was adopted, and the Clerk instructed to present the same to the City Council with the request that when printed they be furnished with 500 copies for their use and distribution.


Also that the accompanying Reports of the Committee on the Truant School and of the City Physician may be printed with them as has been customary for several years past.


By order of the Board.


GEORGE W. GALE, Clerk.


ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE BOARD OF


OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


Gentlemen of the City Council :


IN accordance with the requirements of the Ordinance, we herewith present you a report of the operations of this Board for another year, during which it has probably been brought more prominently before the public and your honorable body than ever previously, as its action has been investigated and discussed without limit.


But the problem of how we can best provide for the poor appears no nearer a solution than heretofore, and the probabili- ties are that it never will be until some way is devised to prevent intemperance, which is the source from which the greater portion of our paupers are furnished, and probably the direct cause of more suffering and misery than all other agencies combined.


No radical change or alteration has been made in the Pauper Laws during the past year, but the operations of former changes become every year more apparent in the increased number of those who were formerly State Paupers, whom we are now called to provide for as city or town charges; and Chapter 242, Acts of 1879, comes most prominently forward in its workings as a species of drag-net to catch all who could not be turned over to the care of the towns by the operations of former enactments.


We have been requested to suggest some remedy for the com- plaints made against the State Board, in reference to compensa- tion for aid to State Paupers, and, as there are now so few who


241


OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


cannot by some law be settled on a city or town, we see no reason why the same laws that are in force governing the action between cities and towns should not be made applicable to the State Board, and they be required, either to remove State Paupers, provide for them themselves, or reimburse all reasona- ble expenditures made on their account by the municipalities where they may for the time being reside.


At the regular monthly meeting held on Friday, Oct. 6th, the following communication was read before the Board of Over- seers of the Poor :-


"The Committee on Relief, would call the attention of the Board to the fact that although there has been no unusual depression of business or scarcity of work or other particular cause of destitution or distress amongst the poor of the city during the present year, and that an additional thousand dollars was made to this year's appropriation for City Relief;


Yet, owing to the persistent and continued agitation and discussion of the workings of this department, and the pressing demands brought to bear for obtaining aid during the summer months from unaccustomed sources, the entire appropriation for the whole year is already more than exhausted and there is not sufficient funds to pay all the bills for the past month, and there are still two more months to be provided for. The bills for the month of October, 1881, were $500.01, and those for November, $847.47, making a total of $1,347.48 ; and, judging from the disbursements that have been called for during the past ten months, the next two will probably not be less than last year, and indicates a deficit of at least $1,500.00 in the accounts for the present year.


The attention of the Board is called to this subject in order that such action as is necessary, may be taken to provide for the same."


The report was accepted by the Board and referred to the City Auditor with the request that it be presented to the City Council; and in response to the same, an appropriation of seventeen hundred dollars was made, all of which has been disbursed, making the largest sum ever expended for City Relief in any year by this department.


Our expenditures on account of the Insane Paupers continue steadily to increase, and an application from this Board to the Authorities in charge of the Hospital for a transfer of those who are classed as harmless insane to our almshouse, has, during the past year been made ; but permission for the change was refused

by the Trustees; although their annual report represents their Institution as being over-crowded.


CITY RELIEF DEPARTMENT.


The total number of families having applied for and received aid during the year is five hundred and ninety-two; comprising seven hundred and ninety-one males, and eight hundred and twenty-eight females, or sixteen hundred and nineteen persons.


Of these, four hundred and thirty-seven families, consisting of five hundred and seventy-seven males, and six hundred and twenty-eight females, or twelve hundred and five persons, have legal pauper settlements in this city or elsewhere; and one hundred and fifty-five families, consisting of two hundred and fourteen males, and two hundred females, or four hundred and fourteen persons were State Paupers, or had no known settlement.


The whole number having a legal pauper settlement who have received full support for the whole or part of the year, is one hundred and eighty-five-one hundred and one males and eighty-four females.


The number provided for at the several Insane Hospitals, during the year, has been fifty-five-twenty-eight males and twenty-seven females.


Seventy-eight State Paupers have been sent to the State Almshouse at Tewksbury after having been aided here to a greater or less extent.


Eighty-eight families, consisting of one hundred and eighty- one males, and one hundred and eighty-five females, or three hundred and sixty-six persons having a legal settlement in other cities and towns, but living here, have been aided here during the year in accordance with the wishes or instructions of the Overseers of the Poor of the several places where they have their settlement.


In providing for the cases above mentioned, by the Depart- ment for Temporary Aid, at the office of the Clerk of the Board,

CITY ALMSHOUSE DEPARTMENT.


During the past year, the steam-heating apparatus which was in an unfinished condition at the time of our last report has been completed and is now in operation in an entirely satisfactory manner.


The ventilating flues which were thought to be unsafe for use as chimneys, to which your attention was then called, have been . entirely cased with a coating of brick, from cellar to attic, and all danger from fire from that source is thereby avoided.


The steam-work for clothes drying and laundry purposes generally, has been completed in a satisfactory manner and proves a great convenience which has long been needed.


The steam appliances for the kitchen are yet incomplete, but we hope they may soon be added.


The enclosure where the demented and partially insane inmates may have out-door exercise in good weather, without the proba- bility of their absconding, has not yet been made, but we hope the work will not be much longer delayed.


The fire-escape has been put in position and gives promise of answering well the purpose for which it was intended.


On Thursday, Nov. 16th, the Board of Overseers of the Poor, together with the Board of Assessors and Assistants assembled at the City Almshouse as per agreement and proceeded at once to the duties assigned them, and when their labors were com- pleted, made the following returns :-
