locations and names Of the proprietors OF all
the Hotels in the City, and of the progress thus
far made in ascertaining facts; arriving at tde

Judgment and discretion of the committee, with
Instructions to prosecute as rapidly rs possible
the supply of those hotels the proprietors of

furnished, and at the same time to cooperate
with the society as proposed in the original
resolution.

sponsible party, donation of thirty medium

of the Belt family, but for upwards Of forty
years she has resided in the house in which
she was burnt. Her recovery, on account Of
her age, is doubtful.
