The main building is one of the finest Struc-
lures OF its kind in the country Unfortunate
ly. a large amount of the stone used in the
building has proved to beutterly worthless. 1
am informed that this stone was subjected to
all the ordinary tests whereby it's quality
could be determined but in spite of the reports
of experts. time has demonstrated its utter
untitness: Large quantities used for water
tables. window-SlllS. platforms. ETC.. are dis
integrating and falling TO pieces. SO rapidly
and to such an extent has this disintegration
in danger Expert architects and builders
have recently examined the structure with
view to determining what it will cost to remove
the rotten stone and replace 1t with sound ma
terial. One architect reports that this work of
repair will cost about $4,000: another places it
at under $1,000 while the contractor who erect
cd the building. an experienced and careful
man. estimates that these repairs can be made
for about $1,000 The absolute necessity, how
ever. of having the work done at once. and the
apparent wisdom of having it well done has
induced me to recommend an appropriation of
900. much thereof as NAV be necessary.

cient means. This asylum is also well con-
Quoted but the fact that it is a new institution,
and that it's sources of income are less than
those of the other aSyluGls. makes it for the
present somewhat more expensive to maintain.
