REPORT ON THE HOME.
THE COMMITTEE SAYS 1T is BADLY
MANAGED.
II In Bcttcr Condition for
the Veterans.

Austin, Texas, March 24.-The committee
appointed to investigate the Confederate
Home has at last made its report The re-
port. which has created somewhat of a
sensation. is as follows:
Hon. l.. T. Dashiell, Speaker Of the
House:
Committee Room. Austin. Texas, March
% Your special committee appointed to
visit the Confederate Home and investigate
the condition and management of the .ame
aud report thereon, beg leave to submit the
following report and recommendations:
I'VE made several visits to the home and
IL spected the institution in all of its de-
partments-bed rooms. hospital and other
buildings. We also investigated. as best we
could with the means at our command, the
mans cement for the past two years, and
We regret to say that there is much dissat-
isfaotlon among the inmates and a want of
confidence in the management. and we be-
lieNe justly so to considerable extent.
While your committee entertains the high
est respect for the present superintendent
and fully appreciates his sterling worth
and great public service we think that he is
not able tn perform the responsible duties
OF his position by reason Of age and physi-
cal infirmities. and that the discharge OF
his duties has often been cast upon those
who are incapable and negligent.
I'VE made thorough inspection of the
dining room and kitchen at meal time and
found that they were not clearly or prop
erly kept. We also found the food plenti-
full and OF fair quality but very badly pre-
pared. Complaint among the inmates in
regard to the preparation OF their food was
almost universal.
I'VE visited the sleeping rooms and
found they We're not kept clean and in good
condition.
I'VE also visited the hospital and found
II in bad condition, having a filthy appear
ance. with very dirty floors. and pressing
demand for disinfectants: the hospital room
was crowded with patients to such an ex-
tent as to be uncomfortable. some of whom
ought not to be there.
I'VE found the so-called laundry very
deficient in all the ordinary facilities Tor
good and efficient work-some old half
barrels and worn-out washbOards AND an
old woman TO do the washing. on half -pay,
for nearly 200 people
Submitting the foregoing findings we
beg to submit the fcllowing suggestions
and recommendations We believe that
a good and efficient man can be obtained
to take charge NJ the home as superin-
tendent and keep ~ OF the necessary
books at a salary Of $1,000 per year. as
his board and many other expenses are
paid 10y the state, and we suggest that
the board NJ directors take action on this
line as soon as possible we recommend

and suitable ex-Confederate soldier at Q
