No death has ever occurred among
the inmates since the school was first
established.
On the 10th of January, 1866, the
nam building was destroyed by fire.
The Legislature, then In session, APP
propriated $50, 10000 for the erection
of new buildings. In addition to this
sum, 1910 have been realized from in
surance, giving the managers build
ing fund of S39, $1,000. BY the failure
of the Morris Insurance Company, the
State lost the sum of 81, 10000 addi-
tional insurance. Instead of the one
burned, the managers have erected
three smaller buildings, at cost of
aboutl$41, 100000. They have purchased
120 acres of land for farming purposes
at a cost of 81, 10000 The current ex-
penses for the past year amounted TO S24
026 IA. For the current expenses of
this year, and for the completion of the
buildings and purchase of furniture,
they ask an appropriation of $2S. 900. 90.
1t scarcely necessary to urge upon you
the wisdom of encouraging this school
by proper legislation. Aftording as it
does the most efficient means for rescn-
ing vagabond children from lives of
crime aud leading them to lives of in
dustry aud usefulness, humanity and
wise public economy alike dictate that
we should extend to its able managers
every facility for carrying on the good
work.
