tlzed by his fellow-trustees of the home to
present the property of the home to the
municipality. The trustees wished to per-
petuate the home, which had been in ex-

been decided that there was no better way
to do so than to place 1t in the hands of the
| City Government.

| City the lot ON the northeast corner of
| Stockton and Chestnut streets, with the
| building thereon and its contents, fitted up
| Tor the purpose of treating those who are

Bank.
| A condition in the deed is that the pres
ent trustees shall remain on the board of
managers until the end of the corporations
| life, about eighteen years. but that when
i one of the trOStpps rptlrpS Or naSSaS aWaV
the vacancy shall be filled by a member of
the City Government, and that the Super
vlsors shall allow monthly sum, not ex-
ceedlng $500, to be used in connection with
| what donations are received at the home
| to maintain it for the care of the dipso-
manlacs, those who have acquired the
opium or cocaine habit, and those who are
to be temporarily detained pending ex-
animation for insanity. The trustees who
are to remain in the management, he said
would serve without pay.
