The conclusions drawn .bythe Com-
mittee tom theirinvegeigations are,
.1. That, scefeeas 'could be ascer-
tained, the people of ,theie counties
were satisfied with the result of the
•open/Mon of these Houses of Industry
and the .opposition atlhe time of
their erection 'had .w died out.
2. That their erection appears to
have obviated,,exeept in the smallest
degree, grants .to indigents by the
smaller municipalities; and materi.,
ally lessened the number of tramps
and vagabonds.
8. That,frora the information -eb.
twined by your Committee, the erec-
tion of a house of industry would
appear ao be an act of economy as
well as-ene of humanity. From the
report of your committee furnished at
theeIsamary session, the amount grant-
ed to indigents in 1887 was $5,864.
The animal meet of maintaining an
inmate in a House of Industry may
