the "Waterworks," Home Aged and In

nected with this department.
Relow will be found report of the con
dition Of this department.
WATERwORKs.
The pumps and machinery at the Water
nected with the same require some re-
pairs, bus nothing of consequence to ne
cessltate immediate attention The rascr-
VOIr, as ls well known, is perfectly useless
through damage sustained. The water |
works throughout the city are in good
working order, and require nothing but
ordinary repairs. The fire wells, forty-two |
in number, were, with one exception, |
found in good order, only they cause some |
detention to the fire departmenU IN open |
ing, which will be remedied by furnishing
them with proper keys Tor same.
INSANE AsYLU3G,
This establishment should be removed |
speedily, as the building is unfit for the |
purpose for which it is used, and further, |
the United States authorities have requested |
the return OF the building to them. There |
are at present 100 inmates in the building; |
they are sufficiently clothed, but require |
shoes, which want l have supplied | |
would suggest that the Council paw visit |
to this establishment and see for themselves |
the necessity OF providing other quarters !
for those unfortunate beings, who are worse |
luartered than criminals.
HOME AGED AND IxFIRM.

ng In remarkable fine order, everv apart !
