The report continues with recommendation that
the Committee open correspondence with the Gov
errors of the Western states to ascertain from then
what encouragement their respective States woulu
offer to have established in them depots Tor the ds-
trbutou of the surplus labor of the East and adds

lie report offers a suggestion that the Commits
sioners make more careful survey and analysis OIL
the population of Manhattan Island, advancing the
following:
The cellar population and the inhabitants of the sums
aud pureus OF the city, should be carefully ex.
amed aud the causes Of poverty crime deformlty and
sickness should form subjects OF careful Investigations
and exhaustive inquiry All these conditions OF exist,
ece have their corresponding causes In the homes and
surroundings OF our cellar population
IL will be found far cheaper to nothing OF the d
ties OF humanity and Christianity, To the evil,
tharto support the ougrowh Of paupers aud criminals
All efforts at relief should be based upon The SINGLE idea
orenabg persons 10 help themselves 10 deretop The spirit
or independence and Of manhood, and 10 make every
man. woman, and child scorn To be pauper, public
burden Remove poverty and want, and crime will be-
reduced at least twothlrds
In closing the Committee state that the admirable
condition of the institutions examined, under the
care and supervision Of the Commissioners of Chair
ties aud Correction, chow the Commissioners 10 be
gentlemen of enlarged views with superior executive
ability foresight, aud business capacity; and think
the important trusts reposed in them and the public
moneys appropriated TO be expended nnder Their
direction, are In safe hands, and that the Commits
sioners are admirably qualified to marguerite those
great reforms in the treatment of pauperism and
crime demanded by the advanced spirit Of civilization
and Christianity.
