FryAycIAL CONDITION.
The income Of the Commissioners since they were
established from communication penalties compro-
miees &c has enabled them 10 meet all the ordinary
and e1traoro insry claims upon them, to make the
regular quarterly reimburse ment 10 the couu,es IN
full for oil bills and demands then audited and alio Sei
Getting the county bills in fall 10 October l. lo9ij
and also 10 lay out S27 973 o. in the erection OF per-
naDent hospital eoifces, and the procuring release
in fee for the land and building Yards Island for
merry held by them at a rent under Lessee.
II wac mentioned in last year report tbs. 600
had been repaid on account OF the principal OF the
loan on mortgage of $50 600 from the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, uuder the express understand
ing that should the possible necessities OF the winter
require II, the sum would be returned ana Inc mort
gage ed 70 its origin amount.
The unexpected necessities OF the winter, az tins
when an ordinary income was nearly ,enced, CON-
PEELED the Commissioners relu taniy 10 svau them-
selves Of this arrange meD and the $50 600 was draw
in february 1854 and spoiled to the current expen-
diures They were also obliged 10 resort TO tempo
rary overdraft on he Mechanics Bank, where their
few accounts are kept.
The later was made good at the first return of the
spring income and in October the cum of $40 900 was
paid 10 the Mutual Life Insurance in reduction of the
prir cipal Of their mortgage But in view OF the pos
sible exigepces Of the approaching winter, II was
deemed advisable 10 produce TIE same stipulation as
tho ihare lu
assented.
The money has not yet been required, and probably
will Lot be at least the whole amount. IL IS hoped
that the debt mortgage is los IN drain OF perna-
pent reduction II arose merely from the purchase Of
lands and the erection of buildings now held and
used BY the Commission, in which alone $500, 900
were expended prior 10 1852.

Quoting cash in bank, was e2Ol All 20.
