aud dilaptdated. under charge OF two or more
white. females. who informed them that the

lodgings onty were provided here for rs women
and children.
The monthly appropriations made by the
city for charitable institutions allows to this in
stitutlon $50 16 per month for 40 inmates, There
is evidently some mistake In this matter and
they call the attention OF the city authorities

aid from the city have the whole care Of feeding,
clothing and lodging their inmates. but In this
case lodging only is provided.

The sehOO-roOm are badly ventilated. and il
was observed that there was want of cleanliness
in that portion Of the building allotted to the
orphans, which is to be denlored. The poverty
Of this institution compels its being maintained
at the smallest possible expense. but the society
which has 1t In charge is said to be large and in
huentiai. and something should be done TO place
the premises in b tier condition, and to add
thereby to its usefulness.
