Tho following report of the Commit?

received as in formation:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the city
of Columbia?Gentlemen: The Commit?
tee on Alms House and Hospital brg
leave to report that we have visited the
Alma Honae, and find therein nineteen
inmates, one steward, one stewardess
and one cook. We find the condition
of the institution not as good as might
bo; for instance, we find the bedding
very scanty; eo much so, that the in?
mates are really not comfortablo. Tho
buildings have Bomewhat an unbecom?
ing appearance, from a want of white?
wash, both inside and outside; whioti,
iu our opinion, if done, woutd add not
only to ttio appearance, but to tho health
of the institution. The fencing around
tho institution is in a rotten and bad
condition, a great many of the posts be?
ing decayed and broken off, and tho
gales in a broken condition. Wo hod,
also, upon tho grounds the new Alms
Uouh9 and Hospital building, partly
constructed. The said building is ut
present in a condilion to be very mate?
rially damaged by tho weather, there
being no roof upon the same. We
would, therefore, recommend that the
Council take some steps to have tbe
building covered, so as to protcot it.
We further report that we have visited
tho Hospital, and find therein twenty
patients, some of which are apparently
iu a very bad state, while others, (seem?
ingly, there is very little tho matter
with. We find tbe building in a very
uncomfortable condition, tbe mattresses
having very little straw in them, and
sheets and blankets very scarce. We
thick, therefore, that something should
be done iu that direction, in order to
relieve the necessity of tho poor und
unfortunate wbo fall within the bounds
of those institutions. All of which we
respectfully submit.
S. D. SWYGERT, Chairman.

CoLUiiniA, April 28, 1874.
To Mayor Alexander and Council of the
city of Columbia?Gentlemen: Uaviug
contemplated and carried into execution
a business direotory for tho city of Co?
lumbia, 1 have found that there is u
general desire amongst the merchants
for a complete city directory, giving the
names of all tho voters or heads of fami?
lies, and name of street and number of
house, tho names to be arranged iu
alphabetical order. They also desire to
know tbe entire population, with a divi?
sion of race, marked "W" aud "C," so
as to know tbe standard of the city.
Now, gentlemen, I have a great deal of
experience io this line of business, and
I will make a thorough canvass, take
tho names of all voters aud bends of
families, the outire number of residents
in each bouse, also classify them, all be?
tween the ages of five and twenty-one.
I will attend and canvass in person tho
outire city, if Council will authorize tho
same for a consideration merely suffi?
cient to bear tbe net expense. I will
then have it printed iu combination
with the business directory, iu which I
will give the officials of city, Connty and
State, looatu the public buildings, all
th 5 fire departments, police force, rail?
road depots, churches of all denomina?
tions, etc. I would respectfully suggest
that Council fix tho amount in bulk or
by per cent., allowing so much for the
work, to be paid only when the work is
completed. I am, gentlemen, yours,
etc , P, F. MADDEN.
The above was, on motion of Alder?
man Carroll, received as information.
Columiha, S.O., April 28, 1871.
To his Honor the Mayor and Aldermen
of the city of Columbia?Gentlemen: Io
accordance with notice, given at previ?
ous meeting of Oounoil, that I should
introduce an ordinance amending an
ordinance, creating tho office of Orer
seer ot tbe Streets, I have, after a dili?
gent search, found no ordinance of
Council, or uuy Act of the Legislature,
creating auy such office. The only
ordinance bearing on tbo mutter is one
passed by the Council during tbe year
1873, regulating tbo duties of such an
officer, but no authorized Act exists
establishing such an office; and since
such is the case, 1 oiler tbo following
resolution:
Jtesohed, That tho work to be done
by tho city, on tbo publio streets of the
city of Columbia, bo given out by con?
tract to the lowest bidder, tho party re?
ceiving said contract to eutor into bond
I to tho amount of -dollars for tbo
faithful performauoo of said contract?
said contract to refer especially to the
keeping of all streets iu good order, and
not tbe opeuing of now streetj or the i
building of drains, all of which is done,
by petition to Oounoil, by the citizens
so desiring tbo above improvement:', I
which, if granted, also to bo given out
by contract to the lowest bidder. Very
respectfully,
(Signed) H. W. PURVIS.
Ou being put to u voto, tbo resolution
