To the City Council of New Orleans:
A resolution passed the Council on the |
fifth of March, 1872, authorizing me to /
make such repairs to the Marine Hospital |
as might make it serve the purpose of an /
insane asylum. In keeping with said reso-
luton, caused the City Surveyor to make
a survey of the structure referred to, with |
a view of ascertaining the cost of making
the repairs necessary to carrying out said
resolution, and his report placed the prob
able cost of the work at S4l95 25. After
the receipt of the report of the Surveyor,
and before the completion of the work
deemed by him necessary, the su-
perlntendent of the Insane ASYLUM,
with myself, visited the hospital |
and found that further alterations
were absolutely required for the safe keep
ing otIthe insane, which alterations, the sur
veyOr reports, will entail an additional ex-
pense of $3.50, making the total cost of re-
modelling SlO,754 25. l would respectfully
ask the Council if it be it's desire that the
additional expense be incurred. I decline
making recommendation in the case, as / |
have regarded unfavOrab1y from the first
'he project OF the removal of the insane to
5he hospital
