Gen Averell has been detailed also toiuspect

report of the Soldiers Home in Vermont at
Bennington:
There has been steady improvement
with marked results in this home since
my last inspection. but the great and ur-
gent need, a hospital, has not been supplied.
Its construction was to be considered at the
next meeting of Of the board of trustees.
a one-story pavilion for go beds and ser
vice room would be sufficient No Legisia
ture has met since last inspection and there
fore there has been no change in apprOprta-
tons.
The economy is very rigid. There is APP
parently no waste whatever The clothing of
the members is mended by by using up old
clothing; each man has two suits. The
dormtories are rooms holding generally two
members and are comfortably and even
| elegantly furnished. The large and well
managed farm adds to the comforts OF this
1 home. not the least Of which is an oppor-
| tunitv for the members to work.
The average age Of the members was
! ffy-nine years and eleven months, and the
average age of those who had died sixty SIX
years. There was no insane, but two
| partially demented The cost Of medical
supplies per annum 500. Record and &c

The advanced age of the members Of TIL
home should admonish its management O
the imperative necessity Of a hospital. III,
presence of the sick IN the same building

The semi.annual payment Of the Dow

be safely affirmed there is not city Of

not fully double the number the official
record shows to exist in Delaware, and
that but for the tax there would be three
times the number, there can be no ques-
