REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES.
To the Honorable the Dlrector-at-Large
aud Members of the Board Of Chosen
Freeholders of Hudson County:
- Your Committee ap-
pointed ut "a meeting of the Board. held
Thursday, November %, 1891, held to ex-
anime aud inquire into the amount of dry
goods furnished by contractors to the
County since October l, last. would most
respectfully report that they went to the
different institutions on Friday, Novem-
Der, 26, and examined the different
storeroOms. Your Committee would state
that they found no goods at the Pepiten-
tiary but what was needed for immediate
use.
We found a large supply of goods at
both the Almshouse and Lunatic Asy-
lum, a much larger supply than is needed
at the present time, but on looking over
the orders or acquisitions sent by the
Wardens. we find the goods were ordered
six weeks before our visit, but the con-
tractors failed to furnish the same until
the 2Othdof November. At the Smallpox
! Hospital we found a supply of dry goods
TO the amount of $685. 81 worth. said
amount or dry goods being largely in ex-
cess of the requirements OF that 1nStltu-
| ton for some Time to come.
Your Committee were also informed
that 1868 33 worth OF dry goods were re-
turned to the dry goods contractor on the
morning Of our visit. We also learned
that the heretofore named amount of dry
| foods were delivered at Smallpox Hospi-
| tai without a requisitlon being made for
same. S.
We find by thesbooks at the store room
that since October 3 there hiss been
So, 953. SO worth of dry goods delivered to
the institutions, OF which amount u, 1872 10
worth has been delivered on November
30. at the Almshouse and Smallpox Hos
pital.
tina all dry goods in excess OF the amount
necessary to supply the Smallpox Hospi-
tai for one month be ordered sent the
Storekeeper A.. J. Manning from said
Smallpox Hospital.
Your Committee Deems it to be In the
best in terest of the County to change the
suystem now IN vogue whereby Wardens
orders on rsquisition supplies for the diff
Committee would recommend the adop-
tiou of the following resolutions:
Resolved, That a Committee Of three
be appointed by the Director at-Large
for the purpose of devising u more eco
nomic and business-like mode of order,
ing goods and supplies to the different
County institutions than are in use at the
present.
