ABSOLUTELY PURE

and particularly specified be declared by
this Board as the appropriation for aid
fiscal year. and that such sum be fxea
as a limit of expenditures for county
urposes during said fiscal year, add
ing thereto such sums as may be received
from fines and costs from the county
courts and from the State for support
of lunatics. and also such small amounts
as may be received from all other mis-
celaneous sources.
In comparing these appropriations 1t
will be seen that the appropriation for
courts, public grounds, court house and
jail, penitentiary, almshouse, support of
l~unatice in State Asylum, salaries Of
officers of the boards, fees of coroners
and morgue keepers and undertakers,
stationery and reindexing, advertising,
printing and publishing, expenditures for
| repairs and maintenance of bridges north
| of and Including Newark avenue, remain
the same as last year, with the slight in
crease in the p~enitentiary, caused by the
transfer of the salaries, whose sal
| aries are to be paid hereafter upon the
pay Of the penitentiary in place of the
store room. and in like manner is the
increase of the alrnshouse, caused by
charging to that institution the salary of
| tAlC VIII d. liCIOlOlOlC ClidISCd
to and paid out of the storeroom ac-
count; we therefore lave concluded to
recommend them to remain the same,
although many reasons have been given
why they should be increased. 1t will
require great care to keep within these
appropriations.
The appropriation for the support of
lunatics at the County Asylum is in
creased $500 over that of last year.
said increase IS necessary, owing to the
increased number of patients about to
enter the new lunatic asylum building
on or before the commencement of the
coming fiscal year. Heretofore the ap-
| preparations for that institution were in
adequate to pay the expenses thereon,
and your Honorable Board in looking
over the records show that transfers of
MONIES had to be made continually to
meet the requirements of said institu-
tfon. We therefore deem it wise and pru-
dent to recommend the increase.
The appropriation for the maintenance
of the small pox hospital is increased
$500 ever that of last year; said increase
is necessary to pay for the care and
keep, as we'll as for repairs and improve
ments to said hospital.
The appropriations for elections is in
creased $1,000 over that of last year;
said increase is made necessary by the
ever changing laws compelling more pol
ling precincts to be made throughout the
county.
The appropriation Of principal of new
public road bonds we have increased
$1,000; said increase is placed in a sink
ing fund towards the redemption of new
public road bonds.
The appropriation fer the maintenance
of the new public road (and branch) is
a new appropriation and is based upon
the careful calculation of the chief en-
glneer and others. The appropriation is
necessitated to keep in prop repair the
new public road now approaching com
pletion and also for the lighting of SAID
road with electricity, the plant for which
IS at present under construction at Snake
Hill and Will be finished before the ccrn-
n1encement of the coming fiscal year.
We therefore recommend an appropria-
ton in the sum of $4,000 for said pur-
pose.
The appropriation is still further in
creased over that of last year $500 to
defray the expenses of the State census
just taken.
The appropriation for the Board of
Health and Vital Statistics in connection
with the Hospital for Contagious Dis
eases, is increased 81, 100 over that of
last year.; said increase is made neces-
sary for to furnish a horse and ambu-
lance for said hospital and also to meet
the expenses of said Board.
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.
The appropriations for permanent i'm
proyements of buildings has been fixed
at 1900. Certain improvements are
needed at Snake Hill of a permanent
character, and notably one for which
we recommend an preparation of
$1,000, it is for the erection and con-
struction of a pavilion for children now
in the aims house. The ladies of the
Children's State Aid Society, as well as
several Grand Juries, suggested to your
Committee on County Institutions the
need of such a building. We also rec
crnnend an appropriation of 1900 for
furnishing the new Lunatic Asylum, no
provision having been made heretofore
by law, or otherwise. to provide said in
stitution with beds, bedding, etc.; we
therefore deem it necessary and impera-
tive that the said sum should be ap-
propr.ated.
We also recommend an appropriation
~-'SoS - ~ poAAC an <aNiiiSiOSSes
$1,000 for an addition to the present
vault attached to the office of Board, as
the present vault is too small to hold all
the papers, maps, documents and books
that have to be placed on record.
We also appropriate the sum of $500
for the purpose of painting the outside
of the jail, a much needed Improvement.
On the recommendation of the County
Superintendent we have placed in the
appropriation the sum Of $500 for the
purpose of dredging the dock at Snake
Hill. All the heretofore named improve
raents are absolutely necessary, and the
amounts specified should, in our judg-
ment, be appropriated.
There Is appropriated also $500 for a
new steam roller for the County Road,
and $500 for the redemption of land sold
by the city under the Martin Act,
Resolved, That the aforesaid amounts
above specified, and the whole amount
thereof, be and the same is hereby orr
County purposes and expenditure of this
County for and during the fiscal year
commencing December /. 1896, and end

aforesaid sum of $3.50, 705, with sums aHs-
ing from all other miscellaneous sources
whatever, added thereto, be and the
same is hereby fixed as the limit Of ex-
