The condition of the property is good,
the roof and tank having been repaint-
ed during the year; also the heating ap-
paratus and machinery are in good or

still cost less; the contingent poor fund
will be drawn on more heavily this
year than the prior one, as there seems
to be great many more people desti-
tute now than in former years, yet your
committee have endeavored, as best tbey
could, to investigate all such thoroughly
before assisting. The report was placed
