NationaT Soldiers Home.

TIE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERA
The report OF the board OF managers OF the ma
tional home for disabled volunteer soldiers, which
was laid before the House to-day, states that the
members of the home have been well and
comfortably fed, clothed and housed and that there
have been no complaints on these subjects
from the inmates The board says there should
be more accommodations furnished, but are not
prepared to recommend the enlargement OF any OF
the existing branches unless 1t be the western,
which was built with view to very large expan-
sion. The average number OF inmates during the
last fiscal year was 946 against O50 for the pre-
ceding year-an increase OF ll;l3 per cent TINS
a decade to come. The3 report says the home is
gradually becoming great hospital and the ne
OesSity for additional hospital accommodations IL
more urgent every year. The expenditure during
the year was 81 60A 100 and the estimates for the
next year 81, 599,574
