Note. — The reason why the expenses of the Poor in the
House have been so great the past year, has been owing
entirely to the great increase of foreign paupers, and the
sickness they have brought with them. Independent of
those cases, the Selectmen believe that the expenses of the
House would have come within the appropriation.
