To petition your honorable body for
Az rpefopria ten sufficient to build ..
st.i.ab.Q building for the u gent needs
Of the Institution
WA have secured lo0 acrss Of land
nicely located in the city Of fGlaft and
We think that we can safely say that
he land Il worth a great deal more
than Inc $1,000 paid for the land and
all improvements on the same, Al
present we haze on the grounds OF
the institution, one dilapidated frame
building, wholly inadequate, unsafe
and unsantary, with 56 inmates
housed therein. The applications
a, G more than so, who are very anxi-
ous to be admitted, have been refused
within she last six days II Is abso-
lutely impossible for us to receive
one.fourth Of the unfortunate citizens
Of the state who are entitled TO adj
mission in the ins .itution and il Is
impossible under present conditions
TO properly care Tor those That we
have We cannot separate the sexes
and preserve the refinement and de
cency that ought 10 be maintained In
our present crowded condition. The
building we have II fire trap and
not a safe or suitable building, espe-
cially for The blind and deaf We
have no water supply or fire protec-
tion. We have no detention ward or
hospital. + ON the information we
have gained, we feel quite sure that
this institution eught to have 500 in
mates in the next few years. The in
stitution as now stands does not
meet the object for which it was Gre
ated by the state We therefore re-
spectfulIy urge that YOU make an APP
preparation Oh. Of the public building

hlilding may be erected sufficient in
size and conveniently arranged to
macf the needs and requirements OF
the institution. We respectfully call
your a5. snion to the fact THAI this
institute combines three schools, that
of the deaf, the blind and the orphans
OF the colored race And that ii the
appropriation is not made now, Il will
necessiate delay OF at least year
and deprive some Of our unfo tunatc
fellow citizens Of the training and
care that they 50 much need in this
