stroy or caused TO destroy, the building
at Snake Hill known as the Old Mems
Pavilion, as there is no further need of

Jersey Csty, April 16, 1896.
To the Honorable the Director and Mem
bers of the Board of Chosen Freeholders
of the County of Hudson
Gentlemen-I desire to call the atten-
ton of you honorable Board to the fact
that the condition of the old buildings
known as the Pavilions. which We're for
merly occupied by the old men Of the
AlmShouse, are in a worthless condition.
They lave outlived their usefulness and
in times passed have contained all kinds
of diseases. In my judgment they ere a
menac to public health. and should be
put to no other use than to be destroyed
by fire.
Very respectfully,
GEO. w. KING,
Medical Superintendent.
