The Honorable Mayor and Administrators:
gentte,nen- Upon the communication OF Hon
James d. Edwards, Administrator ct Waterworki
for the Aged and tnhrm, your committee have
the honor to report that they have made a care
ful examination of the manner In which said in
atitntion is carried on, and OF the expediency o.
transferring its inmates to some other aeylum
THAT there are at present SO men, ii womef
and children in that institution, who are al
either bhnd crippled or In some manner incapaci
tated from doing any work, and therefore unable
TO earn living, and must be cared for by thu
that the amount spent for the maintenance
az the inmateA OF that institution has beer
largely reduced by the able and prudent
mana cement Of the Administrator OF Water

salary of s40 per mosth, which che well deserves
for the good management OF the place, and he
good care OF the inmates.
As to the transfer of the inmates Of the HON
TO the Asylum under the direction OF the Ltti
Sisters OF the Poor, we find that 1t is impossibl
to make any arrangement with them, az this
Asylum is fully occupied.
Therefore, considering the small amount Q,
,'ended by the city for the support and maintei
ance OF the inmates OF the Home OF tne Age
and Infrm. we recommend that said institut,o
be carried on az heretofore, instead OF bein
abolished.
