REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL OF NEWTON.


IN accordance with the provisions of the city ordinances, the Board of Overseers of the Poor present their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1887.


The ancient saying, " The poor ye have always with you," being apparently established by existing facts, the more modern one, " What are you going to do about it?" is fill- ing the minds of those set to the solution of the conundrum. In this, appearances would sometimes seem to indicate that little more was done than to keep the question from getting the better of the disputants.


Overseers of the poor everywhere are laboring to find the line on which work ought to be done, and there is a sub- stantial agreement among them in these matters; at the same time they quite disagree with many who ask for aid, and with not a few citizens of large sympathies for the unfortunate but necessarily limited knowledge of the work- ings and results of given plans of action. Newton, being one of the smaller cities in population, is able to carry these interests thus far without serious friction in administration. It is believed that the needy unfortunate are properly pro- vided for, and that those having charge of the work share the confidence of the community.


6


The present economical management of the affairs of the department has been secured by the attention given by His Honor the Mayor and the members of the Board to its regular meetings and business. The appropriations for the department have remained substantially the same for several years. In some cases the account has been slightly over- drawn, in others a balance has remained in its favor.


The question of out-door relief is at present receiving unusual attention, and in some important instances it has been wholly discontinued. Where this action has been taken, the expected result of over-crowded almshouses and over-burdened charitable societies has not appeared. Some other way out of the difficulty was evidently found by those whose supplies were thus cut off.


The use of intoxicating liquors is still, more or less directly, a great cause of pauperism. But for this, the occupation of overseers of the poor would to a great extent be gone. The attendant expense is not the most serious evil in the case. More important than this is the fact that by this cause many children are deprived of good homes, and almost necessarily follow in the wake of their parents to lives of pauperism if not of crime. The question is yet unanswered, whether such children should not be gathered in a home provided at public expense for their support and proper education. The law very properly does not permit their detention in alms- houses. As it is, they are robbed in childhood of their birthright to a true character with which to meet the emer- gencies of life. .


The prosperous condition of business has permitted those willing and physically able to maintain themselves, to do so. This has also brought into the city a larger number than


7


usual of young men and women for business purposes. Many of these have no homes other than boarding-houses or families where employed. Accident or sickness has made it necessary for a considerable number of these to seek aid from the city. In cases where removal was necessary, this aid has been given at the Newton Cottage Hospital. The ex- penses of the Board have thus been increased, while at the same time it has been able to render such assistance as it could not but for the hospital have given. The hospital has been doing a most efficient, humane, and beneficent work, in the advantages of which this department has shared.


The number of persons applying for and receiving aid has been somewhat larger than last year. But for constant vigilance it would be still greater. It is the intention to give relief to every destitute person in the city who is not able to secure it by his own diligent, self-respecting efforts.


The cost by population of maintaining the poor in 16 cities of the State in 1886 varies from $1.42 down to $0.46; Newton standing at $0.62 in the list, being the fourth from the lowest.


The whole number of families out of the almshouse re- ceiving partial support during any part of the year was 170. The whole number of persons, 434. Of these there were, males, 191; females, 243; under 16 years of age, 196; hav- ing settlement in Newton, 260; having settlement in other cities and towns in the State, 49; having no settlement, 125.

State Industrial School, Lancaster 1


Northampton Lunatic Hospital 1


Danvers Lunatic Hospital 1

Worcester Insane Asylum ·


2 Worcester Lunatic Hospital . 7

The expense of feeding tramps and travellers, which in 1879 reached $200, has steadily decreased until 1887, when it was $19.61. The whole number of persons was 910.

ALMSHOUSE DEPARTMENT.


The year in the almshouse department may be considered a prosperous one. The number of inmates, which for two or three years has been below the average, has slightly in- creased with an increase of expense. The receipts have materially advanced beyond last year, although they were then large. The farm is of such a character that good treatment and constant fertilization are required to produce good results. It has had good management, and its condi- tion is kept up by the manure from all the city stables, purchased from the highway department, and utilized here with apparently paying returns. Standing wood has been purchased, brought to the almshouse, sawed and split in the winter, and sold to all who order, with increased receipts.


The almshouse and outbuildings are in all respects com- fortable. But little is being expended in permanent repairs until the future of Waban and the almshouse takes more definite and settled form. The inmates have enjoyed as good a degree of health as would have been looked for anywhere among an equal number of equal age. The whole number who have received aid for any part of the year is six in advance of last year. Three have died, one of whom has been confidently believed to be more than one hundred years of age.


The services of the Matron, now many years continued, are valuable and appreciated by the Board. The Warden has performed faithful and efficient service in the interests intrusted to him, and the Board takes pleasure in commend- ing the satisfactory manner in which the affairs of this department have been managed.


10


It is the custom at the almshouse to give to the in- mates occasional recreation as is practicable; such as a picnic party in the woods in summer for those able to go out, a celebration of the Fourth of July at the house, and a Christ- mas celebration, making life as homelike as possible to those whose only home is here.


The number of persons who have been supported at the almshouse for all or any part of the year is 40; average number for the year, 28; present number, 26; died during the year, 3.


The amount appropriated by the City Council


for almshouse expense and repairs . $4,000 00 Whole amount expended . 3,852 33 Balance transferred to poor out of almshouse 147 67 . Amount received from sale of produce, wood, board, etc. . 2,604 03 ·


Almshouse expense and repairs (net) 1,248 30 ·


Expense for each person in almshouse per


month (net) 3 715


With such provision as the city has made at the alms- house for the comfort of those who have occasion to make- it a home, it is worthy of consideration whether more of those seeking aid should not receive it at this place.


The Board desires to express its pleasure at the uniform interest and courtesy of His Honor the Mayor, in the busi- ness of the Board during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


For the Overseers of the Poor,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.


CITY HALL, WEST NEWTON, Feb. 14, 1888.


To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR, AND THE CITY COUNCIL.


"The statutes impose upon boards of health the duty of protecting the people from those causes and influences which may injuriously affect their health." - Manual of the State Board of Health.


THE Board has had an active year in its work, without matters of special interest or importance.


The work of the agent has been continued on the usual basis, the Board making visits and inspections whenever his reports showed such visits to be necessary.


The efforts toward making Newton a clean city have met with a fair degree of success. The desired results have been accomplished only by continued effort in weeding from the thickly settled sections such things as, though tolerated in the past, are now cause of discomfort and constant com- plaint by citizens suffering from their presence. In the pro- cess of securing conditions of comfort and safety for the many, the Board has sometimes come in contact with indi- viduals whose convenience has been temporarily disturbed thereby.


The continued action of the Board in relation to the keep- ing of swine in open pens has resulted in their removal from thickly settled sections.


16


Cows in large numbers are still kept in some localities where they prevent clean and desirable surroundings. These are a constant menace to the comfort and health of their immediate neighbors, and will cause discontent so long as permitted to remain.


The disposition of sewage and night-soil, in a manner not to cause complaint, has been a difficult matter for the Board to adjust. Progress has been made, and it is hoped that this in the future may be managed satisfactorily to all con- cerned.


The attention given to privy-vaults and cesspools by pro- prietors is far from what it should be. A privy-vault prop- erly constructed, kept dry, and disinfected with dry earth, need be no more objectionable than the house-offal tub, stable, or dog-kennel. The sanitary condition of the city might be greatly improved by a more general and thorough use of the odorless excavators.


The privilege of dumping ashes and other material in low lands has in some cases been abused by adding decaying and filthy material to such an extent as to cause a nuisance and become a source of danger. Properly used, it is a con- venience and an improvement to the locality.


The work in relation to dwellings concentrates largely on cheap tenements. These comprise the modern small house built for renting, and the larger houses of the past which have deteriorated into the cheap grade of tenements. The systematic inspection and care necessary to keep these places in an approximately safe condition involves a large amount of labor. Sufficient time and attention can make a great improvement in this direction.


The experience of the Board has given prominence to the


17


necessity of a house or ward connected with the Newton Cottage Hospital or with the almshouse for the treatment of contagious diseases other than small-pox. In many cases there is no opportunity for adequate isolation in the house where disease has appeared, and almost of necessity it spreads through the family. This state of things exists especially in the small tenements.


Among contagious diseases scarlet-fever has been more than usually prevalent, but in a mild form, one hundred and eight cases being reported, with fatal termination to but one. The total reported of the three - scarlet-fever, diphtheria, and typhoid fever - is one hundred and fifty-five.


Malaria appeared in various parts of the city during the summer, and in some cases with severity. The disease was not confined to any locality, but appeared in different, widely separated sections of the city, and where local conditions were the same as for past years. The climatic conditions in the summer of 1887 were unusual. The month of July was of an uncommonly high temperature ; August of a low tem- perature with frequent rain-fall, not large in amount, but distributed through the month, keeping the earth constantly moist, and accompanied by a great growth of vegetation. Malaria continued into the autumn, and gradually passed away.

The following statement has appeared in the American public prints : "In our cities and towns the mortuary returns show a death-rate 20 to 25 per cent higher than in the large cities and towns of England." Official reports give the following statistics in opposition to this statement. Mortality rate per 1,000 of population for Europe for 19 years to 1883 28.1


Mortality rate per 1,000 of population for England


for 48 years to 1885 21.8


Mortality rate per 1,000 of population for 28 great towns of England and Wales for 1887 20.9

The census of 1885 is used, with estimated increase in calculating mortality rates for 1887.


With the sanitary condition of the city far from perfect, and being still without sewers, Newton shows the lowest mortality rate that can be gleaned from the public reports.


Respectfully submitted,


For the Board.
