The committee in their report say that
they have visited the grounds of said Asy-
lum, aud made personal inspection of the
present condition of the buildings, and are
happy to be able to report that, although
the destruction has been Immense, and the
loss to the State heavy, the permanent in
jury has not been as great as has been gem
orally apprehended.
gThe foHndations are not disturbed. The
walls, with the exception OF portions OF the
inner and division walls, can be easily re-
paired. The substantial portions of the
stone work remain undan1aged. The whole
building, with, the modern improvement OF
projecting and fre-proof root, can be re-
Constructed on che present foundation with
the existing walls, with few exceptions,
under economical management, at an ex-
psnditure not exceeding two hundred hou-
sand dollars. The out-buildings, engine
department, shrubbery, &C., have not been
affected by the fire. sCss
There Is necessarily great deal of rub
bish as the result of the confiagration
which should be removed. The standing
walls should be protected as far as possible
against the damaging effect of the weather.
The committee recommend that the Su-
perintehdent employ the hands not dis
charged, in the removal OF the rubbish; and
that suitable measures be immediately

While the fire was raging, the most COM
mendaole efforts were made by the officers
and employees of the said institution. to
save the buildings, rescue the inmates. and
alleviate the common distress. And promnt
action was had by the officers to disnose Fl
and provide for the inmates by pIacing q
them under the care and charge Of othas
Asyiums, and sending them to their appro-
pirate counties or friends.
The committee, on behalf of the State.
take great pleasure in acknowledging the E
prompt tender of services by the officers
of other institutions in the emergency
and their generous offer to receive the in
mates of the Central Asylum into their in
stieutions. They deserve the thanks of che
