The board has appropriated, per vote of the Town, the old dwel-
ling house, on the Almshouse lot, for the accommodation of the
children of the establishment.
The necessary repairs at the Almshouse (including slating roof,
copper gutters, &.c.) have amounted to about $1,400 more than
ordinary.
The whole amount of Expenditures (including repairs) have been
about 12,2S2 45, that is : $9,282 45 paid, and about $3,000 out-
standing claims.
There are collectable accounts against towns and individuals
amounting to about $600, and $1,432 15 in the hands of the
Chairman, so that there will be a deficiency of about $1,000,
Respectfully Submitted,
SAMUEL POOR, Chairman,
