At the annual meeting OF the trustees
in December, it was voted to make a
reduction in the rate Of board of 20 cents
per week, to go into effect March !, 1897.
From this reduction our earnings have
been reduced $1,000, and our financial
statement shows a decrease OF S1,l92,
which is accounted for by the reduction
Of our income and the increased cost OF
supplies, which is fully 10 per cent more
than last year.
The farm and garden as earning depart
ments, show a reduced profit of nearly
$1,000, due largely to the season. Crops
were light and poor; potatoes an entire
failure.
The new boiler house and heating ap-
paratus have been sufficiently tested to
justify the large expenditure. The steam
chimney Of 1870 feet.ip height attracts the
attention of the public who visit Angus
In, and, while it is ornamental, it fulflls
by it's purpose in an economical sense; for
Its mechanism, all combustible gases and
materials are consumed; and in conse-
quence of its height tine inmates of the
hospital are not disturbed by any debris
that usually passes through the chimney.
We arc proud OF our work, and consider
it enc of the best monuments of good
judgment that has entered into our offic-
ial administration. The report is signed
by Frederick Robbie, president, r. B.
Shepherd, Mrs. A r. Smith, j. S.

are burning doors and window frames.
