SOLDIERS HOME FUND
BALANCE, $3,42S,2O0
Conditions at the Institution
Reported to Be Highly
Satisfactory.

Affairs at the Soldiers Home in this
city are in a highly satisfactory condi-
tion. according to reports made to the
War Department by Gen. Young. gov
ernor of the home, and Gen. Darlington
inspector general Of the army. Since
October I. 1904, the home has received
from the United States Treasury, on ac-
count of the permanent fund, the sum of
$7,61s,447. After deducting all the ex-
penditures on account of the home during
the past fiscal year there is balance to
the credit of the institution in the
Treasury of 3,42S, 900.
The buildings at the home, including
the large mess hall just completed. have
cost In the aggregate 81. 1856, 453.
The expenditures during the past fiscal
year for all purposes, except permanent
improvements. amounted to 1891, 76O The
average cost per man per month was
$27.41, Of which amount $1O37 was for
subsistence.
Cost Of Maintenance.
The per capita cost for maintenance Of
the home during the past fiscal year was
1888. %, or 92.9 cents per capita per day,
as against $337.4 for the preceding year,
or 92.5 cents per capita per day. The per
cent of the cost Of administration to to-
tai amount expended, exclusive of cost
of construction. was Al per cent, being
slightly in excess of the percentage for
the previous year.
The improvements In contemplation are
the tearing down Of the old library build
ing, the conversion of the old mess hall
into pool and billiard room and library,
and the erection of new quarters for the
dairymen.
Inspector General Darlington says the
home and grounds and all pertaining to
them are in excellent condition. Gov.
Young says the new mess hall with dor
mitories Is credit to the home and to
the country. He adds that Aie original
mansion of Woods farm is RAM
shackle and insanitary building, and will
be removed as soon as other provision
is made for the occupants. Extensive
improvements have been made in the
water supply system. and a dry cleaning
system has been installed in the central
power plant for cleaning blankets and
the clothing Of the inmates.
Gov. Young reports that the general
sanitary condition of the home and
grounds has been excellent throughout
the year, and that there has been no pre-
valent or epidemic disease among the in
mates. The accounts of the farm and
dairy show that their maintenance has
been beneficial to the home. and that they
have produced early and late vegetables
and a better quality of milk than could
have been obtained by contract.
