For the sake of uniformity this applies to all the inmates at Monson and Bridgewater, since the almshouses there were closed in 1872 as well as before. In the same way the poor and the neglected children in Boston are included among a mshouse cases, though not strictly in almshouses. None of the inmates at Monson and Bridgewater are here included, being given under the previous heading. NOTE. The "State poor partially supported are included in the "whole number partially supported of the city and town poor, in which also there are many duplications. Among the State poor partially supported there are but few duplications up to 1877,after that a great many, until 1880. Among the "State poor fully supported out of almshouses" since 1870, are included the children of the Massachusetts Infant Asylum, for whom the State pays. The cost of supervision by the State authorities and the overseers of the poor is not included in this table, although previous to 1874 the town almshouse expenses include, in part at least, the cost of supervision. |
