Bv Alderman Marshall:
The Special Committee appointed by Councn

full and thorough examination on the ioth
instant, and found as inmates on that Gay,
twenty eight males, forty-one females, al anu
twelve children-a total of eiehty-one. Inc
number of out door pensioners amounted 10
sixteen hundred and seven.
The general condition of the house was as
we'll conducted as could be expected; your
committee, however, would suggest that the
Citv Registrar be instructed to direct one Oh
the city physicians to attend once day at q
stated hour, thereby avoiding the necessity OF
being sent for. They also recommend that the
same quality of bread be given to the outdoor
pensioners as is given 10 the ln-ioor ones, as
The same price is charged for both; also
recommend that his Honor the Mayor use mis-
good offices to procure from the military au-
thorities clean and proper bedding Tor the IN
mates, rs what is there now furnished is NOT
fit for any one to use; also recommend that tne
children now at the Aims House be sent to the
Orphan House as soon as they can be admitted,
as the present place is not the proper one for
them: also recommend that the commissioners
elected will try and visit the institution ottener,
and not leave their noble work to be performed
by those who live near the house.
