Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty-Fifth Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Farm at Bridgewater, Including the Reports of the Superintendent and Medical Director, for the Year Ending September 30, 1898 The farm is under the usual state of cultivation. The hay crop has been unusually large and harvested in good condition. The vegetable and other products which usually contribute materially to the support Of the institution have not been as satisfactory as in previous years, owing to the unfavorable season. In the workshops a large number of inmates who are able to perform labor have been employed as formerly in chair seating others, to a limited extent, are engaged in sewing, tailoring and cobbling on work connected with the institution. The institution buildings are in good condition and will require no large outlay for repairs the coming year. The annual inventory, as required under section 7, chapter 79 Of the Public Statutes, has been taken, and an appraisal made Of the real and personal property connected with the institution and belonging to the Commonwealth, by Messrs. David Gr. Pratt and George E. Doane, Of Middleborough, whose report is hereto annexed. Within the past year the number of women committed to the State Farm has largely increased over previous years, so that it has become an important question what provision shall be made so as to entirely separate them from the departments occupied by men. After careful consideration by the trustees and superintendent, it is recommended that an appropriation be made for the erection of a suitable building, on land belong ing to the State, for said purpose.
