To the Hon. Mayor and Common Conn
Gil OF the City OF Ken0sh0, Vas:
GENTLEMEN:-As your honorable
body evidently knows, our poor house
is in very bad condition and an i'm
provement will have to be put into ex-
ecution in the near future. We would
suggest to put up new building for
the following reasons: In the first
place the present quarters are too
small, and secondly, to put the old
place in repairs would cost in the neigh
borhood of 5000, and to our ideas this
money would be thrown away Taking
these points into consideration, we
think you will agree with us that in the
end a new building would be the
cheapest.
