institution wonld require, would respectfully
report that we have made the f)llOWlng
progress toward carrying out the work as
signed us.
Before entering upon this report we desire

err was the first important matter ana unClI
that had been obtained no safe estimates
could be made as to the power, pumps ana
other machinery which might become nee
essary for the purpose. An accident, oy
which drill became detached lnd stuck in
the we'll, caused loss of over eight months,
during which we could do dOth1ng. As
matter of fact it was not until about the nrSt
of July. 1902 that your committee was ape e., 70
make estimates based Oh the depth OF the
we'll and distance of water lift, as 20 Jne
power and kind of pumps required. ana since
that time the work has been pushed ylgor-
ously and is now near it's completion. IL mas
been estimated that our new court mousse
should be found in good order on January
first. A. d., 1902, and your committee mas en-
deavored to render the improvements now
being made on the home and asylum equally
serviceable and durable.
None but the best mach merry and materlal

structiOn has been thoroughly done. Onoer
