HOUSE OF REFUGE CoMMITTER.'s RE-
PORT,.
You emillnittee Deg to sninnit,
report of the business transaered b
y
bbt.nt tutee last eutAlle11 Inevtilig;
Your committee advertised for
tenders for the erection of a barn, as
per your instructions, and received
in all 12 tenders, the lowest being
Alexander Mel3eath, of Stanley, for
8821, who was awarded the eentract.
Before Mel3eath, signed the contraet,
he stated that he had made an error
in copying his estimated, cost of the
same to the amount of 880, and after
matters were explained the committee
think that if the council consider it
advisable, we would recommend the
amount be paid (if the contract is
otherwise satisfaetory) when the
contract is completed.
Your committee let the contract
for the windmill to Goold, Shipley &
Muir Co., for the sum of $95, and
pump to Jacob Miller for $20, and
a Parker eylinder for 88. The mill
and pump have been erected, and
your committee are informed that
they are giving good satisfaction
and would recommend the payment
of said contracts.
The architects, Fowler a Fowler,
on Mareh 29, gave an estimate to
the contractor of the 1101130 of
Refuge for the sum of 81,800, being
the per outage that he was entitled
to under the contract, the estimate
was signed by the chairman of this
committee and paid on the order of
the warden.
Your committee revised the rules
and regulations and proposed by-
laws submitted to them last January
and referred then: to Dr: Chamber-
lain, Inspector of Houses of Refuge
who, we are pleased, approved of
them (save the clause referring to
children, which was struck out, as
the Legislature has passed an act
during the last session, forbidding
the keeping of children in such
places.) Yoar committee had the
rules and regulations revised and ap-
proved of in ample time, that they
should have been in the hands of
every member of this council by lst
of May last. and are very sorry the
printer delayed the matter so long.
• Your committee wrote to all
similar institation, and find that all
the expenses of maintenance ot in-
mates are Nome by the county. In
view of the fact that the House of
Refuge will be completed before
another session of this council, and
that the same will have to be fur-
nished, your committee would ask
this council to grant them:
That a tablet lie placed in the hall-
way of the hone, and the eorri-
dere of the house doors be placed so
as to effectually separate the sexes.
The goal inspector having demand-
ed that bath rooms and closets be

for the same.

with the contractor of the barn to
