pital often at large expense. In this connection
MIR. Gale clerk of department. makes the following
statement and suggestlOn which have received the
hearty approval of the special agent of the board of
state charities for the sick poor Only part of this
sum was charged TO the commonwealth, and not all
of that has been allowed, although our claims have
been urgently presented, and would not have been
disputed had they been against any other city or
town, but the case OF the state provision is only
made for the pauper himself personally and, in his
case only from the date of notice. although large
expense may have been previously incurred.
Your attention has in former reports been called
to tue defects of the law providing for the sick sae
poor, and it is now earnestly recommended that
you instruct the representatives of this city in the
next legislature to their influence in secOnding
any efforts that may be made by the agent of the
board Of charities having charge of this department
to extend the aid to the families of the sick, to
certain amount, in similar manner to those pro-
vided for by cities and towns where persons have
legal settlement
-Four hundred and forty-one heads of families
having legal settlements have been aided. Two
hundred and nInety-nine resided in this city and
one hundred and tortytwo resided in other cities
and towns. SXty-seven of the persons aided-forty-
niue males ana eighteen females-were confirmed
inebriates and could not safely be trusted with any
thing eXchangable for liquor In addition to the
above food and lodgings have been provided at the
station house for 1916 persons.
