Gentlemen:- The undersigned trustees

House, beg leave to call your attention
to the matter of needed regars at said
institution in the near future.
LIST. The boilers and furnaces if they

a general overhauling as soon as warm
weather comes in the spring to put them
in proper condition for another winter.
The superintendent, Mr.. Killam has
called our attention to statement made
by Mr.. Davies, the boiler inspector for
the insurance companies at the last time
he inspected our boilers that the fur
naces were defective; that the insurance
on the boilers does not cover the fur
naces and that if loss occurs from de-
fects in the furnaces no insurance could
be collected"

We place the above matters before

danger. Final action on this matter
ought not to be delayed beyond the spec
ial meeting in the spring.
