In the hast Levy there was also included

built, and the whole amount exhausted in
judicious repairs and additions to the pro-
pcrty.
We respectfully recommend, that at least
one new furnace he put up in the Houses the
present ones being too expensive in the use
of coal, without sufficiently heating the
House. The amount Of coal consumed from
November 10th. 1851 to March 18th, 1863,
was 3St tons, which made the heating OF the
house much more costly than IT wood had
been used.
| Owing the unusually high price of provi-
sions and the large number Of inmates we
suggest the necessity Of increasing the an
| nual allowance for the support ot the poor.
