Annual Returns Of Overseers Of the
Poor
1, is found that many Overseers
wait until the end of the year before
entering upon the blank forms fur
nished by the State Board Of Charities
and Corrections the names and other
data in relation to the persons assist
ed. 1t is believed that this work can
be much more easily and accurately
done by entering the facts as soon as
the assistance begins. leaving only the
date when the assistance terminates to
be filed in when it has been ascer-
tanned The blank forms are furnished
in advance for that purpose.
Ruling has been made by the de-
partment that Overseers should enter
upon the blank only the names of per-
sons assisted by them and not names
Of legal residents Of their town assist
ed in other towns. On the other hand
the names Of all persons assisted in a
given town should be entered whether
residents Of that town or not.
It is also requested that care be
taken by the Overseers to give the
names and other data in relation to
all persons, whether assisted directly,
or only incidentally as members Of
the family, otherwise the report as to
numbers assisted and other statistical
data in relation to their town will be
incorrect.
1t beirg apparent to the Board that
some definition Of the meaning Of the
term "paupers fully supported" ap-
Fearing in Section s of Chapter 1876
OF the Public Laws Of 1913. the fol :
lowing ruling has been made. viz,
ha
Board as applying to those persons
who were fully supported throughout
the year. i. e.. such as might be re-
garded as requiring continuous and
full support: that those who receive
support for only a part Of the year.
even though it be full support for that
part, be regarded as partially sup
ported u;thin the meaning Of the act
above cited.
AImshouse Visitors
The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections, in December. designated
as special almshouse visitors in vari
GUS parts Of the state, to work under
the direction Of the Board and its
Secretary: Mrs. Lydia ". Rice, Saco;
Mrs Mary S. Burnham, Portland; Mrs.
Ada F. Hunt, Augusta: Miss Marion
Porter. Bangor.
The Board has not definitely dis
tricted the state for this work. nor will
these visitors do all Of the almshouse
inspecting, but as persons with expe-
rience in social work they have been
selected to make the required visits
to the almshouses in their respective
sections. in those cases where pres
sure Of other and more important
work prevents the Secretary from
making the inspection in person at the
proper time.
