ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
To the Citizens of Hillsborough County :
The statutes of New Hampshire require of the commissioners of each county to present a statement annually of all the ex- penses of the county over which they have supervision.
Therefore in obedience to the laws we present the following report for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1886.
Also the report of the superintendent of the almshouse, treasurer, clerk of court, solicitor, sheriff, jailer, physician, chap- lain and auditors.
COUNTY FARM AND ALMSHOUSE.
During the year just past the management of our almshouse and farm has been one of prosperity, no epidemic or contagious disease has visited the institution.
A large per cent of the inmates are old people and those of weak minds and feeble constitutions ; most of these require con- stant nursing and medical treatment ; only a very small number of the pauper inmates, comparatively, are capable of perform- ing much, if any manual labor ; generally the prisoners are able-
4
bodied and most of them are willing to work, although when taken outside the yard-as the men are made to work upon the farm-they require constant watching, as some of them at the first opportunity would leave without orders.
The farm has been greatly improved under the management of the present superintendent. Having produced nearly fifty tons more hay the last year than it did fifteen years ago.
In the various apartments neatness prevails, the rooms are kept clean, the inmates tidy and well fed ; of course there is ex- ceptionable cases when it is almost impossible to keep them tidy, but they are kept as clean as possible under the circum- stances.
There is without doubt people in the county who think that the inmates at the county almshouse are not as well cared for or kept as comfortable as they would be elsewhere. Generally the people entertaining such ideas are those who have never visited the institution and therefore are not acquainted with the internal workings of the same.
We earnestly invite all such to visit the institution, make a close, thorough examination and investigation inside and o utside do not notify the superintendent that you are coming on some particular day, but drop in unawares. We believe that all who make the visit will go home satisfied that the unfortunate ones are well cared for.
A large number of the children coming to the almshouse have no homes or parents to provide or care for them.
All such ought to be placed in good families where they can have paternal love and discipline.
The family is the best place to rear the child, to instruct it and make it familiar with the duties pertaining to its future life.
It is our duty to watch and tenderly care for these little ones while they come under our supervision.
Charles A. Stiles, Esq., superintendent, and Mrs. Stiles, matron, have had the management of this institution for six years, and for several years previous to their coming here had charge of similar ones in Massachusetts. Their long period in
-

public service entitles them to our highest encouragement and confidence.
They now enter upon their seventh year of service at our county farm. We will briefly say that for the six years that they have been with us the duties devolving upon them have been sat- isfactorily performed.
Mr. O. J. Blodgett, assistant superintendent, is proving him- self a worthy and trusty officer,
Mrs. Cora R. Blodgett, school teacher, earnest and persever- ing in her efforts for the benefit of the scholars ; a good disci- plinarian.
Mrs. Sarah D. Daniels who has had charge of the cook room and other apartments for several years, has been a most valuable and much respected assistant.
Robert H. Martin, engineer, faithfully performs the duties of his office.
Mrs. Martin has the care and overseeing of the sewing room ; the making of new garments and the mending of worn ones.
Mrs. Minnie Clough cares for the insane women, which she does in a pleasant and quiet way. Several of the inmates in this ward require a great deal of watchfulness and patience.
Dr. George W. Hatch makes three visits each week to the almshouse and oftener if necessary. The sanitary condition of the almshouse will compare favorably with that of former years as the doctor's report will show.
The boisterous winds of February last made a complete wreck of the large wheel and upper gearing of, the windmill, so that the mill was not in operation for several weeks, the hydraulic rams furnishing the water in the meantime.
The four horse power engine which was put into the wash- room in the fall of 1884 was not of sufficient power to run the washing machines and seperator. Last fall it was removed and one of ten horse power put in its place Another rotrary wash- ing machine has been placed in the room, making the large washings much easier.
During the fall a new building 32x50 feet was built, two
6
stories high with basement under the entire building. This will be occupied by feeble and insane men. Sleeping rooms are arranged on either side of the building with a large sitting room and dining hall in the centre.
The basement is used by the men as a smoking and sitting- room, cobbler's shop, &c .; a good well of water in which is a pump with sink is at one end of the room.
The upper stories are supplied with water closets, bath rooms, &c. The roof is slated and the rooms well ventilated.
The room in the basement of the women's insane ward is used as a play room for the boys. And a room in the basement of the school building a play room for the girls.
The new building has given us ample room for the present. A new fire escape has been put upon the main pauper building as reccommended by the legislative committee when at the farm last June. .
The crops on the farm the past year were good ; 130 tons of hay was mown and stored in the barn, 230 tons of ensilage was raised and put into the silo, 2400 bushels of potatoes were dug, a large quantity of barley, vegetables and roots were grown upon the farm.
The horse barn has been remodelled inside. A new slaughter house built on the west side of the horse stable. A large refrig- erator has been built adjoining the kitchen which will save a great many steps in going to and from the cellar.
The superintendent and matron have our most hearty thanks for the good management discipline and respect shown us during all our visits, and to all the employees for their many kindnesses.
We again invite the citizens of Hillsborough county to visit the institution.
JAIL.
The expenses at the jail for the board of prisoners, repairing and incidental charges amount to $7,950 83, an increase over
7
that of last year of $313.72, which is more than accounted for by the increase of inmates during the year.
Of Capt. David Wadsworth, jailer, and Mrs. Wadsworth, matron, we can only reiterate what we said last year that they are well fitted for the position they fill so acceptably to us, hav- ing at all our visits to the jail found it neat and clean and the prisoners well cared for.
