Bills are due to the amount of $357.32 from state and other towns.
The management of the Town Farm by the Superintend- ent and Matron has been very satisfactory, and they have been retained for the coming year. The stock has been increased and a hen house added to the farm. We would again recom- mend the putting in of steam heat.
Owing to the increase in our insane and poor departments our bills have been much larger. and we would recommend an appropriation of $4,500 for the coming year.
