read 1t is as follows:
For ten months salary as Agents. GG7 %
Boarding average monthly 81 in
mates and miscellaneous expenses 500 "a
Clothing purchased. ~ ~
Clothing received from II. Murray. lj9 ~
Total. Us
Taking the above as q basis for es.
timating the total annual expenses of
the institution for the year ending April
lst 1871, it will amount to S3,3O9.24.
The foregoing statement is believed
to be far below the average OF the an
nual expenditures of the institution in
CURED prior to the election of an agent,
but being unable to find an itemizcd
or aggregate report OF expenditures, he
can only refer to the records for com
PARSONS of bills and expenses.
The health of the inmates has been
remarkably good, and the services Of
the physician have not been often re-
quired. At present there are forty
four persons enjoying the charity
of the county, under the charge Of the
agent-twenty-eight males and sixteen
females; but it is quite probable that this
unusually large number will soon he
reduced and the present expenses Iii
minished
In the discharge OF his duties as
