Forty-three meetings of the trustees
have been held during the year, besides
many conferences.
The attention OF the board of trustees
has been devoted very largely to the la

their wives and families. have been
brought from Porto Rico. besides the in
PRODUCTION of nineteen negroes from the
Southern States, seventy-six Italians and
1O5 Portuguese. and number OF negroes
have also been obtained By one of the
local frmG
The experiment of bringing such negro
laborers did not prove successful. and no
further attempts in that direction were
made.
The Italians. though few In number.
have thus far proven satisfactory

year ending September 30. 1901, have
yielded well, amounting in all to 56o.Oss
tons.

ter understanding among the managers
