The Treasurer's Report. which will be eominu.
nicaied in obedience TO law TO the Executive, will
exhibit the financial condition of the Institute.
Though the Government OF The Institute has
been deeply anxious TO keep the disbursements at
ell times within their actual means, they have been !
compelled TO anticipate TO some uncomfortable er-
tent the revenue OF the coming year. IL will, how
ever, be perceived that the end Of the year Is43
there viii exis, only small liability, faoy.
This STATE Of things has been the necessary and
inevitable consequence Of the Institutes getting
into operation without any spec fc appropriation for
rs outfit and from the fact, tina, the Institution was
forced 1910 large and uneK pectsd psndturss from
the limited accommodations Of the buildings and
the dlIaptdsied condition in which the barracks
were surrendered.
No Other appropriation has been made for build |
ngs Than that provided by the Of the 9th day Of
Msrch, 1910, for the erection of Mess Hall, and
iot conducting water TO the institute TO which pur-
pose II has been applied IN full
Yet there has been constructed, besides, eona- |
modious three story brick building for the Super
IDtendeht, with oil the necessary outhouses and
enclosures; an additional story lis feet by I5 has
been rafed over the old barracks with on entirely
new tin covered roof; extensive repairs have been
made to the old barracks, including renewal Of ils
lower dtcnyed floors, and the house in which the
public arms are deposi,edi and the grounds, which
were in a rude state, have been improved and en-
closed in a neat and substantial manner.
Moreover, there has been added, by purchase, at
cost Of 5000, two lots OF contiguous land essen
ta 20 the wants end purpose Of the Institute, con
Veyed by deeds 70 the commonwealth and the mot
urgent outfit Of furniture, books, drawing materials
models, instruments, &c, required for large an
es,ablisbme nj; all Of which has greatly ADDED 10
our burthen.
To 10 all this, and eondue, the Institution With
distinguished usefulness TO the country, the Board
has no other means than the annual appropriation
which used to be expended by the public guard,
and the slender pltance derived from the low TUT
ton fees required Of the psy CsdeiG
Exposed bs IL has been to numerous and txtraor-
dnary but dispensable Expenses in the first three
years Of It's existence, the Institution would have
aied Of us object, and It's very existence been en-
dnrgtrcd, II the above enumerated indspensab lo
expenditures had been postponed. This state Of
embarrassment has not allowed the Board 20 extend
the sphere Of usefulness Of the Institute os much
Us they would have desired; but they believe that
after they shall be relieved from their present in
debtedness, they will be able TO enlarge It 10 some
extent IL is matter Of great regret with them
that nearly two years VII enpto before the extern.
sion can take place. Bot, believing also, that u
was not the intention Of The General Assembly 10
impose upon them the permanent repairs, Which
they were constrained TO make 70 the old barracks
and which the commonwealth would have had L
provide for, " the Military institute had not gon,
into operation soon, the Board Of Visitors re-
pecfUlly submit 10 the Executive and tie Genera
Assembly whether, in justice, this expenditure
amounting 10 S575, ought not TO be refunded them
The purchase Of additional ground, now vest,c
IN The commonwealth, the actual money value o
which has increased since iu acquisition, presents
another claim upon the liberaty OF the Geners
Assembly. n these two subjects Of expendiiur
were refunded, the Institution would be freed .
once from even the appearance &C embarrassment
and lie future operations conducted more efeetual
20 the patriotic objects contemplated by lie sstsb
