The following report of the Lady Visi-
tors to the Almshouse and Jail was receiv-
ed and accepted:
To the Honorable, the County Com
miSsioners of Hartford County.
GENTLEMEN:-"In the effort to dis
charge the duties specified by the appoint
ment of Il Board OF Lady Visitors to the
AImshouse and Jail, we visited these in
stitutions this eighth month, eleventh,
1902, and hear we call your attention to
the condition of the public road leading
from the toll-gate to the alnshouse, Il
grea ter part of which is exceedingly rough
and in some places almost dangerous.
AT this season OF the year the county
home and farm surrounding it presents
an attractive appearance, and we note
with satisfaction the well kept yard with
its flowers, in which the inmates seem to
be interested, the trees laden with fine
apples, and the fertile farm yielding
promise of good crops. which give evil |
dence that labor, care and attention are
not wanting.
1--WE were much interested in the large. !
thrifty truck patch, which affords good |
supply of fresh veget ables, and it was
gratifying to learn that the proceeds ut
the farm does much toward supporting |
the institution in various ways. General |
conditions are good, inmates healthy. |
Sanitary regulations observed while in |
all departments of the several buildings |
the care of oversight of the matron is APP |
parent and the air of comfort which per-
vades the clean apartments lSgratltying. |
I'VE are pleased to note the tultillment |
of some early suggestions by this Board |
in the line of improvements and repairs, |
particularly the porch on the back OF the |
dwelling and the banisters and stairs on
the main building, which, with some
other repairing, enables the feeble inmates
to get in and out more comfortably; we |
encourage the apparent increasing inter
est in the place.
"Thc Jail building compares very poor
lv with the alnshOuse. and we hope be-
fore many years the present one may be
greatly improved or give place to new
one, but we acknowledge the great adj
vantage of the present system OF lighting
with the darkness of few
years ago.
1--WE found six prisoners there as COM
fortably cared for as the accommodation
admit of, but again we ask YOU to serl-
ously consider the pr"priety of at least
one chair i'll each cell.
"Here too sanitary regulations are OBJ
served, and we believe that their care
takers endeavor to do the best they can
for the poor unfortunates in their charge.
1T was with satisfaction that we learn
that the pastor of NJ. L. Church frequent
" visits this place of confinement and
labors for the spiritual betterment OF the
prisoners, and we hope that the time is
not far distant when some systematic re-
ligious services may be held at both of
these institutions.
Deeply sympathizing with the Presi-
dent of your Board i'll his atiiction. we
are very cordially your friends,
