y rUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
I have not been advised Of N
% needs of the Deseret University
and can therefore 90 no more tina
lie bespeak for it your favorable COZ
Il sideration.
The Boari Of Directors OF the In
Is sane Asylum. the Trustees Of tn
C Reform SchcOl and Of the Agricul
e tuml College, and the Board Q
Commissioners Of The CapitO
Grounds, will submit detailed re
y ports to the Legislative Assembly
from which you viii learn wha
1 has been done by them respectively
q during the past two yeaR. / shall
only refer TO them in a general way.
The condition OF the insane
Asylum isdeplOmble. The inmates,
afflicted with the saddest type OF
r human suffering, are crowded to-
. gether in the rooms, halls, ante
rooms and by-ways OF the institu-
ton. The officers aud attendants
are compelled TO perform their
duties, iliy provided for the purpose.
1 urge immediate action looking 10
the enlargement OF the present
building. The asylum should be
made the foremost Institution Of the
Territory.
The Agricultural College is an
institution that ought TO prove valu-
able 10 the agricultural class. This
important class of our population has
derived but little benefit from public
appropriations, and IL the college
can be made Of use aud benefit to
them, IL shOrld be done. You are
tile Immediate representatives Of
the people and will have TO decide
how far you al 60 in supporting
this fmportant institution.
The Reform School has been for
mally opened and is now in active
operation. The necessary appro-
priatiOns should lie made TO ehnble
II to be successfully conducted
during the next two years.
The board OF Capitol Commission
cps have improved the grounds do
mated by the City Of salt Lake 10
the Territory, upon which TO erect
the pioPOsed Capitol building. l be-
iieve il would be wise aud prudent
to appropriate n sufficient sum TO
erect a wing that will supply the
present needs of the Territory, and
shall be glad to nave the opportunity
20 Cooperate with you in this mat
ter.
The action Of the last Legislative
Assembly, with reference 10 the Sc
lection OF the directors o. the Desc
ret Agricultural L Manufacturing
Society. has virtually made the As
ISOLATION a Territorial institution.
During the years 1855 and 1883 sue
cessful fairs were held, and the ex-
hibits made were in the highest de
gree c~rediiable. Considering the
limited means at the disposal Of the
directors these falls lave been re-
markably successful.
These annual fairs 10 much 10
bring the people together and en-
couragea friendly rivalry among
the industrial classes. The expert
ence Of the past two years has shown
that the present building is entirely
too small for the purpose. The
building should he completed &C
cording to the original plans
adopted by the board OF directo :.
and 2-hould be supplemented by
other buildings which are much
needed - exhibitors.
L submit for your consideration
the idea OF establishing in the Ex-
position Building n Territorial
museum, where the many objects Of
interest which annually come to our
notice in the Territory may be pre-
served, and where may be gathered
4 museum that will grow in Interest
with zach succeeding year. /
The Territorial Library rs at pres i

central part Of the city, and sufficient ,
appropriation be made for its main {
.enance aud support, including the !
publishing OF annual reports for ,
purposes Of exchange with other q
states and Territories. a
