Town Farms in Oxford County.

Following inspection Of conditions ct
the several town farms In Oxford County,
the State Board Of Charities and Correc.
tions has communicated the following
summary to the overseers concerned:
NORWAY TOWN FARM.
General conditions as to cleanliness
and care of food supplies, very good.
Repairs, good. A new ceiling is needed
In the kitchen. Several floors have been
painted since the previous inspection.
II Migrants are to be sent to the aims.
house It is recommended that quarters
entirely separate from those of the other
inmates be provided for them and that
they be required to work:
OXFORD TOWN FARM.
Tramps arc fed and lodged. Quarters
used for this purpose, one of the rooms
in the inmates part of the house. They
are required to work and are admitted
only on specific orders given by the over
seers OF the poor in each instance.
General conditions: Cleanliness, good
repair, the house is old and its entire in
terror needs repair, particularly new
floors, plastering and painting; furniture,
furniture is very old; beds and bedding,
clean. Bedsteads however, are old fash.
toned wooden affairs and infested with
vermin; care of food supplies, good.
Arrangements elsewhere have been
made for the care of the boy who was
here at the time of the previous inspec-
ton.
In order to get rid of the vermin with
which the old house appears to be in
tested 1t will very likely be necessary to
thoroughly repair, paint and paper the
entire interior, and replace the old wood
en- bedsteads with iron ones. With run
ming water in the house, If the supply is
sufficient, 1t should not be expensive to
install the flush closets and bath with
bot water connection, which are so neces-
sary for the proper care of this class of
inmates.
Whenever 1t can be avoided, Migrants
should not be sent to the almshouse.
When they mnst be, quarters separated
from those of the inmates ought to be
provided.
PARIS TOWN FARM.
General conditions: cleanliness, good ;
repair, fair. Floors are poor In nearly
ali of the rooms; furniture, sufficient;
beds and bedding, clean; sanitation,
good; care of food supplies, good; disci-
pline, one inmate objected to taking q
bath regularly. This should be insisted
upon.
Flush closets, running hot water and
bath are needed, and with running water
in the house, it would seem as If they
could be provided at very reasonable
cost.
If Migrants are to be sent to the aims
house it is recommended that special
quarters entirely separate from the 9th.
er inmates, be provided, and that they
be required to work.
The Superintendent of the Paris Town
Farm replies as follows:
81 am perfectly satisfied with your re-
port of general conditions and sugges-
tions."
