New ward building at Insane
asylum ....................... $1,000 90
This building is to replace
ward No. 2, built in 1866, the
first building ever erected on
the premises. A committee of
the Board personally inspected
this building and found same to
be a wooden building in the last
stages of decay and dilapidation
in spite of the efforts that have
been made to keep it together.
1t was condemned by the Su-
perintendent of Public Works,
Robert Sterling in 1875 Tine
Board are aware that the stron-
gest reasons and recommended
lions Tor q new DullCInR at tnls
place have been advanced by
previous committees OF this
Board and by the Territorial
Grand Jury, which ought to
insure the appropriation asked
for without further recommen-
dalton. We consider the struc-
ture unfit and dangerous to live
in and that the Government
assumes grave responsibilities
in placing asylum inmates
therein.
Steamer for Board of Health
service Observation-Disclosures. 5000 90
Running expenses of steamer -. $4,000 90
These two items are recommended to
the consideration of the Legislature on
the following grounds:
First-Grave inefficiency of the present
service.
Second-Great expense of the same. The
Board of Health freight and passage bills
amount to about $3.50 per month. while
the subsidy given for such service brings
the amount to about sl,150 per month.
Third-The losses through reckless
handling of cattle and freight, the re-
sponsibility for which the present car
riers absolutely refuse to assume, still
further increases this amount.
Fourth-The necessity. in view of the
condition of the tug Eleu, of having a
reliable vessel for towing garbage out
1t will cost approximately about $50 a
day to hire a boat for this service.
Fifth-Common carrier should not car
ry lepers.
The Board, through one of it's mem
bers, has had an estimate made and a
report submitted as to the cost of a boat
and running expenses, as follows:
"A steamer suitable for the purpose
should have a speed of not less than
eight knots per hour and should have
enough space forward to handle fifty
head of cattle. The type of steamer
most adapted for the business under
is the steam schooner hav-
ing large sail power At the speed al
ready stated such vessel would not con-
sumo more than six tons of coal in
twenty-four hours. The steamer Hawaii
is of type, but rather large for the pur-
pose. She cost, when bought, $4,000, and
was three years old. However, at that
time tonnage was much cheaper than
at present, and l have no doubt that you
can get a suitable vessel today from $685.
600 to $500 (say the latter figure), and
l don't think you will lind any difficulty
in finding a vessel, for the reason that
they are building nowadays much larger
vessels of that type"
The manning of the vessel requires
owing to the handling of
cattle The following list gives the
smallest possible crew to handle
steamer in that trade. viz: Two boats
crews of 1--WE men EACH donkey driver
l chief mate, l chief engineer. / assist
ant engineer. liremen. cook, l cabin
boy, l master. And the pay will be at
the very least as follows.
