The sixth annual report of the super
intendent of the workhouse was SUBJ
mltted and referred to the committee
on workhouse. The report is as fol-
lows: Total number of inmates during
the year. 1856; total outlay. sd. SSs. 81.
Following his statistical report Supt.
Gross makes the following suggestions
i'll his report. These are as follows:
desire to make few suggestions
relative to the efficient conduct of the
workhouse. The officers should be
sworn in at once. and susplied with
some badge or uniform. that they may
be clothed with special police powers,
as far as IL pertains to the WOrkhouSe
and its inmates. | have made some
changes, and, with your permission,
will make more when necessary to do
so. Old men are not proper material
from which to make guards for prison.
The very foolish notion is abroad that
any one will do for guard at the work
house, when, as matter Of fact, we
need young, active and robust men of
good judgment, and not decrepIt, sickly
men, who are unfit for any other occu-
patton or labor.
Commissioner Cloutier. chairman of
the retiring committee on workhouSe.
reported the resignation of l.. j. Howe
as guard, and the appointment of j.
Farrell to succeed him. The appoint
iHtHI was approved. OH fnOllOn OF CON-
missioner Martin Deputy Superintend-
ent Whalen was allowed the difference
between his pay and that of the super
intendent for the month of December,
during which time Capt. Whalen was
acting superintendent, and a warrant
was ordered drawn in Capt. VIVA ems
name in the sum OF $40, the amount of
the difference.
Attorney Briggs presented a petition
on behalf of the recently deposed work
house employees protesting against Their
removal on the ground that it was with
out sufficient cause, and the matter was
referred to the committee Oil wOrkhouse.
The committee will meet on Friday at
4 p. III. 10 consider this question, and
viii at that time grant a hearing to the
petitioners.
DR.. Chase submitted a communica-
ton recommending DR.. P. f. Hall for
the newly created Office OF second as
sistant city physician, which was re-
ferred to committee to report at the
next meeting.
