the maintenance and education OF the deaf

respectfully ask your careful attention
TO this branch OF the question and due
consideration 70 the suggestions made by
the contractor in his report 20 the auditor.
The number OF deaf and dumb persons In
the territory entitled to the benefit OF this
institution is estimated 10 be from ninety
10 one hundred. This estimate IS made
from reports made by county clerks 20 the.
territorial auditor. though several Of TIE
clerks failed to make any report.
It has not been found practicable 20 es-
tabnsh the plant necessary 20 combine the
care and education OF the blind until very

contract for this class Of patients and /
made now contract with Charles A. Gun
blind, the contract being upon like terms
and conditions as that above reported for
the deaf and dumb

the benefits OF this contract. as shown by
county clerks reports 70 the auditor. T.

law under the supervision and care OF the
board OF regents OF the territorial univer-

your consideration whether Il would not be
wise to create board OF charities and
corrections. to which general supervision
might be given over the administration %
the affairs OF these schools, together with
that Of the care and discipline Of tncor-
rigible youth and youthful criminals.
