OVERSEERS' REPORT. 1880.

OVERSEERS' REPORT.


The Board of Overseers of the Poor voted on Thursday to present the following Annual Report to the City Council : - To the Honorable the City Council of the City of Newton:


GENTLEMEN, - We herewith present the Annual Report of the department placed under our charge, for the year ending December 31, 1880.


During the year past there has been nothing unusual to record, or any special demand upon us for aid, with the ex- ception of an unusual amount of sickness in the prevalence of diphtheria and measles among the poor in some sections of the city, which has called for aid in some special cases.


Notwithstanding, we are pleased to be able to report that there has been a less number of applicants for relief, and a continued reduction of expenses.


There has been generally plenty of work for those who were willing to work, and as for those who would not work, we have said to them practically, in the language of one of old, "If any man will not work, neither shall he eat ;" cer- tainly not at the City's expense.


The general method adopted by the board in administer- ing the duties of the department has been the same as the past three years, save that the work of the board has been more systematized than in any previous year, the overseers of the several wards of the City have aided those coming for aid in their several localities, who were well known to be-


128


long to the City, in need of aid, to the extent judged proper and needful, on consultation with the Almoner, and referring all new cases to him at once for investigation and report.


By this system a very thorough knowledge of the poor throughout the City is attained, and the relief needed, given in a discriminating manner.


There has been the usual number of widows with large families of children, who have needed some assistance during the whole year, who, with the aged and the sick poor, have no other resource but the City's bounty.


To all such we have given aid to the extent that in our judgment their true interest demanded ; always remember- ing that a due regard to the laws of settlement and the in- terest of the taxpayers, as well as the demands of the poor, must be observed.


There is one class of the poor in our midst who often fail of receiving the help they need, from the fact that they, hav- ing no legal settlement in the city, are dependent on the State for the aid they receive, and this is dealt out to them with a most meagre hand by those who disburse it.


Many such cases come under our observation, which we should be glad to relieve did the statutes allow us so to do.


There is another large class in the City, that in our opinion is the most important part of the duty of the overseers, which has failed to receive that consideration in the past its impor- tance demands ; that is, the care and reclamation of the chil- dren of idle, dissolute or intemperate parents, and placing them in homes where they may be trained in habits of in- dustry and the practice of those virtues that will make then a blessing to the community. As it is, they are growing up with but little care and less training, except in habits of vice. They become our paupers and criminals to fill our alms-


· houses and jails.


129


The whole amount appropriated by the City Council for this department for the year 1880 was $12,000, divided as follows : Poor out of almshouse, $8500 ; for almshouse and repairs, $3500.


The whole number of persons receiving relief out of the Almshouse during the year was 431, of which 280 had legal settlements in Newton ; 21 in other cities and towns, and 130 had no settlement.


It will be noticed that the proportion of persons receiving aid, having a settlement here, is much larger in comparison to the whole than heretofore; the statute of 1879 giving a woman who has resided five years consecutively in one place in the State without receiving aid as a pauper, a settlement therein.


The whole amount expended for relief of poor out of Almshouse for the year is as follows : -


Cash payments,


$221 70


Groceries,


1,361 11

705 93

The receipts from the State, other cities and towns,


and friends of dependents amounted to 1,057 41


Making the net cost for poor out of Almshouse, $5,398 39


The Almshouse and Farm, under the management of Mr. N. D. Moody and wife, have been very profitably conducted, and the inmates, many of whom are aged and infirm, have been well cared for, under the kind and motherly charge of Mrs. Moody.


The labor upon the Farm has been done almost entirely by Mr. Moody and his son, who has been employed as an assistant, with the help of the inmates.


The whole number cared for at the Institution for


the whole or a part of the year was 41


Present number of inmates, 24


Average number for the year, 24


Number died during the year, 4


Of the twenty-four now in the institution, more than one half are over sixty years of age, two being between ninety and one hundred, four between eighty and ninety, three between seventy and eighty, and four between sixty and seventy.


The general health of the inmates has been excellent, when we consider the advanced age of so many of them and the infirmities incident thereto; and the Board desire to express their appreciation of the faithful care and attention they have received from Mrs. Moody, and their conviction that she is the right person in the right place.


The amount of appropriation for Almshouse and repairs has been exceeded by the sum of $70.83. This has been owing to the increased expense of painting the Almshouse


131


and out-buildings, together with repairs of the same, and also a renewal of some of the fences on the Farm. The Board feel that they have good reason to be satisfied with the whole management of the Institution by the Committee and Warden.


Amount appropriated for Almshouse and repairs, $3,500 00 Amount transferred from outside poor appropria-


tions, 70 83


Total,


$3,570 83 All of which sum was expended.


The amount received for the sale of produce, wood, board, etc., was $1,535.07, which being deducted from the whole amount expended, $3,570.83, leaves the net cost for Alms- house and repairs as $2,035.07, to which the cost of poor out of Almshouse being added, makes the total net cost to the City of the Poor Department for the year, $7,433.46.


All of which is respectfully submitted for the Overseers of the Poor.


JOHN WARNER, Clerk.


CITY MARSHAL'S REPORT. 1881.


135


REPORT OF CITY MARSHAL.


OFFICE OF THE CITY MARSHAL,


WEST NEWTON, Dec. 31, 1880.


To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council of Newton:


GENTLEMEN, - The seventh annual report of this depart- ment, covering the year ending December 31, 1880, is here- with respectfully presented. While its record exhibits no transactions of unusual interest or importance, the service rendered is believed to have been as faithfully performed as could reasonably be expected. With an increasing popula tion, and its accompanying development of public and private interests, all requiring a larger and larger measure of muni- cipal care and protection, the department has sought to maintain a corresponding degree of vigilance and efficiency. How far it may have succeeded is a matter more properly within the verdict of families and citizens of the several wards of the city.


The police force, as now established, embraces sixteen men, including, as heretofore, the City Marshal, whose headquarters are at the City Hall. In accordance with my recommendation to the City Council of 1880, the Sergeant of the force, a ranking officer, is now also stationed at the City Hall, instead of being mounted for patrol duty as before. The practical advantage of this arrangement has become so manifest during the year that a return to the former plan


136


would find few, if any, advocates, especially among those who realize the value of efficient police service and protection.


In connection with a recommendation submitted in my last report, and sanctioned by the city government, it may be proper to state that with two mounted men detailed for night service, one at Newton Centre and the other at Auburndale, the result has fully met what seemed to have become an important necessity. The service thus rendered has been effective in the better preservation of the public peace, and the manifest prevention of other more serious offences and crimes.


The compensation of the force and the contingent expenses of the department for the year ending December 31, 1880, have amounted to $16,777.94, and the receipts into the city treasury during the same period, from the fees of officers, &c., have amounted to $650, leaving the net expenditure $16,127.94.


In the matter of police stations duty again compels sugges- tions of change and improvement ; removal to a more suitable location of station 1, at Newton, seems especially necessary, because of serious disadvantages and inconveniences unavoid- able in its present connection. I most earnestly recommend its removal from the engine-house premises, not only for the convenience of the police and fire departments, but especially for the better promotion of public interest and protection. In regard to the police station at the City Hall, I cannot in justice to my position and the outspoken utterances of intel- ligent citizens and physicians, do less than reiterate my suggestions of two or three recent years ; viz., its notably inadequate, unsafe and unhealthy arrangement and condition. The other stations are in good condition and well suited for present use and demand.


The legislation of 1880, imposing severe restrictions and


137


penalties, designed for the suppression of vagrancy, has already produced salutary results. It may suffice to say, in this connection, that our City has thus been materially re- lieved from intrusion and annoyance from that source. The number of strolling vagrants or tramps has been largely reduced, while the number seeking lodging and other care at public expense, shows a reduction of over fifty per cent, with indications of continued decrease.


The following is a synopsis of the general work of the Department for the year ending December 31, 1880 :

The miscellaneous services of the department have not

Fornification,

differed materially from those of previous years. In this behalf I trust I shall be pardoned for a word of reference to a class of service which for three or four years has been del- egated to the police department ; viz., the distribution of tax bills and various requirements appertaining to the treasury and other departments. These have now become so extended as to cause serious interference with regular duties of police- men, and yet they would seem to belong more properly to some other branch of city service, or some special employé. They appear to have been placed upon this department under the impression that policemen have little or nothing to do. If so, the increased demand for police surveillance can hardly warrant the continuance of such impression. But these sug- gestions are by no means ventured in any spirit of complaint, or any fractious thought or purpose ; but simply and only from a desire for such distribution of service as will not im- pair police duty.


I desire, in conclusion, to tender my thanks to city offi- cials and all others whose co-operation and kindly words have aided and strengthened the department in the mainte- nance of its administration. With no desire to invite undue credit, it is nevertheless a pleasure to believe that no city or town, of equal extent and population, in the Commonwealth has been more exempt from disturbances and crimes affecting the peace and safety of citizens and homes. With facilities now available, and the release of the City Marshal from du- ties formerly imposed as health officer, and which required much of his time and attention, it is hoped that still greater efficiency may be imparted to the police service of this city.


Very respectfully submitted,


REVILO L. HINDS, City Marshal.

MAIN PIPE.


Before recommending the laying of any main a guaranty of an annual income equal to 5 % on the cost of the main is required from the petitioner therefor. The receipts in 1881 from extensions made during the last four years average about 72 % on cost of making them.

WATER PUMPED AND CONSUMED.


There were pumped during 1881, 163,163,824 gallons of water and there were used 164,610,549 gallons; during 1880, 170,993,762 gallons were pumped and 165,456,192 were used. During 1881 the average daily consumption ranged from the minimum, 354,168 gallons, in March, to the maximum, 550,974 gallons, in September ; the average daily consumption for the year was 450,987 gallons.


Following is the average daily consumption during the last four years :

CONDITION OF THE WORKS.


With the exception of the foundations of the pumping engine the works are in a very satisfactory condition ; contrary to expectation the concrete foundation placed under the engine in 1880 has not proved to be effective, and the engine has settled during the past year. The committee are now taking measures to have carried out a plan recommended by Mr. Worthen for alligning the engine in case of future settlements which, if successful, will obviate the necessity of taking the engine down and thus greatly reduce the expense hitherto attending such work. If the plan should not prove to be a success and the settlements continue as heretofore it will probably be found necessary to take action in the matter of placing the engine on a new foundation.
