We have examined the JsrtI and find the same to be in a very bad condition, indeed. We find that the walls should be white washed dr ralsminod and that the building needs scouring and a gregt deal of work along this line to put it in sanitary condition. We find th- bedding very scarce and the venti lation very, poor and we urge that this building be givep a thorougu renovation even if It has to be done by the inmates. Ouf: $orhier rec ommendation in regard .do this state of affairs was overlooked and we speeially nrge and recommend that this recommendation, he given nt ortce the attention that it de serves. We find that the ’ road leading from Bells to Lodge, near Mr. Cald well's pla^e to he in impassable con dition and as the same ran be re- naired at a small cost wf recommend that the same be-attended to at once and we make the same recommenda tion as to the road leading from Green Pond to Aene Hall. It has been called to'our attention that Mrs. Susan Walker, with her five small children, Is In destitute circumstances and I* entirely de pendent upon th? krndness'of a few neighbors and is a burden to the community and we rerommend that the Highway Convmlssioner and. his assistants take the necessary steps to relieve this distress by placing them 6n the poor farm or appro priating a sum sufficient each month to egpe for them until their condi- tiofiTs Improved.
