OF the Special Laws of 1863 entitled, AN
Act TO confer certain powers OH the
city OF Portland''
The annual report OF the committee
or the State School for Boys, consist
ing of the Hon. George l.. Bisbee of
Rumford Falls. the Hon. Thurston :.
Burns of Weatbrook, the Hon. Walter
B. Clark of DamdriscOIta and Mrs.
Clark Fl. Barker Of Portland, filed
with the Governor and Council Satur-
day, states that during the past year
the boys have enjoyed unusual health
have manifested a deep interest in the
school work and the discipline has been
good.
The report says in part:
There is a balance Of between 5000
and 500 uneXpended from the appro-
prlatlon tor current expenses. The APP
preparation for remodelling the main
building has all been used, and there is
deficiency in round numbers right
around $l4OO. The trustees promptly
stopped the work soon as they
found the appropriation was not Suffi-
Gent to complete it. Some trouble
with the sewerage and some other
things not clearly understood at the
time the contract was made, caused an
extra outlay not contemplated in the
contract, and his accounts for the de-
ficiency. 1t would take approximately
upwards of $4,000 to complete the build :
ing according to the plans of the archi-
tect. OF course quite Il portion of this
work could be deferred and taken up
from time to time without extra eX-
pense. The fact is that since the cot
tage system was adopted there Is an
| over abundance Of room in the main
building. There are some expenditures
that i'll the opinion of the committee
should not be delayed, namely: There
| is apparently quite waste of steam,
owing to the fact that the steam pines
| have not been covered viii asbestos.
| The laundry should remodeled, q re-
| frigerator should be constructed and
steel cases should be provided for the
new vault. These are among the miner
| things that impressed the committee
| as to be absolutely necessary at TIL.
| present time.
''There is one of the largest rooms in
the main building unfinished. 1t needs
a new floor and Il new ceiling, and with
| these it would be a very useful rOOm
