At an early day in the year, the board visited the almshouse, and forthwith instructed their chairman to present to the city coun- cil their recommendation that a new house be immediately erected to meet the urgent wants of the establishment. But the council failed to respond to the recommendations of the board, owing, as it is understood, to a disagreement upon the question of building upon the farm, or of removing to some other locality. Such is the character and condition of the present house, that the board have been compelled to assist some persons at other places, whom the city could maintain with more economy in an almshouse, if the building were suitable for such purposes.
Mr. and Mrs. Knight, who had been for some time in charge of the farm and the almshouse, resigned their place and were succeeded on the first of April by Mr. and Mrs. Harrington, who have since conducted the establishment with assiduity and efficiency, and to the entire satisfaction of the board.
A condensed view of the operations of the overseers is presented in the following statement furnished by Edward Southwick, Esq., the clerk of the board.

The whole number of paupers who have received assistance from the city during the past year, is 893; of whom were natives of this State, 65; from other States in the Union, 49; from England, 34 ; Canada and British Provinces, 89; Scotland and Scotch descent, 17; Germany and German descent, 24; Ireland and Irish descent, 615.
There were at the almshouse, Jan. 1st, 1853, 30; admitted during the year, 130. Deaths at the almshouse, 6; births, 4; remaining there Jan. 1st, 1854, 29.
The number at the almshouse during the past year has varied from 17 to 42. There remains only four having a settlement in this city. One of whom is a lad aged 15 years, without any parents, who is subject to fits; considered incurable. Two are elderly ladies, 75 to 80 years of age, and the other a female, an incurable lunatic, aged 36 years.
There were 26 who have a settlement in this city, that have been assisted more or less during the year out of the almshouse, varying from 50 cents to $3 each per week; some for a short time, others through, the year.
In the hope that the city may soon have an almshouse that will meet the wants of its growing population, and enable future boards to adopt and carry out more systematic arrangements for the relief of the poor than the present board have had the facilities for doing, the overseers, now about to retire, close their labors as they com- menced them, with the expression of their conviction, that justice, humanity, and the honor of the city, demand a renovation of its pau- per establishment.

REPORT
OF THE
AQUEDUCT COMMISSIONERS.
THE Board of Aqueduct Commissioners for the year 1853, respect- fully present to the City Council the following report, in accordance with the City Ordinance, showing a statement of the condition of all the Water Works and other property connected therewith, and also an account of all the receipts and expenditures during the year.
The Commissioners would again congratulate the City Council upon the present good condition of the water works and their effi- ciency in accomplishing the great objects for which they were designed, they having continued to answer the most favorable anticipations.
The connection between the pond and reservoir is now in good working order, and is believed to convey all the water taken from the pond to the reservoir without waste.
Early in the season complaint was made that the water was impure as delivered in some parts of the city. In order to ascertain the cause, the reservoir was emptied and thoroughly cleansed; but nothing found to warrant the supposition that any impurity existed there, but on the contrary, it was found to be in good condition. The importance of being able to ascertain accurately the quantity of wa- ter used by some of the large water takers, has long been felt; and the Commissioners have the past season made use of Samuel Huse's Water Metre, by means of which the difficulty is entirely obviated, and the quantities used have been accurately determined, and in some instances the water rents have been materially increased.
99
Your Commissioners were of opinion that a list of Water Rates should be established by authority of the City Council, and they ac- cordingly collected such information as they were able to upon the subject, from the experience of other cities, and prepared a list of rates which seemed to them suited to the wants of our citizens ; and having presented the same for your consideration, they were adopted, and will form a basis of future action in regard to the subject.
There have been no new distributing pipes laid during the past year.
The number of Service Cocks put in during the past year is twen- ty-seven, making the whole number at the present time, one hundred and eight.
The number of new water takers, during the year, is twenty-two, making the total number one hundred and two, of which ninety-eight pay, and the remainder are for the use of the city, for engine houses, &c.
There have been no new Fire Hydrants established during the year. Fourteen have been altered in their position to accommodate the grading of the streets. The whole number of Fire Hydrants at pres- ent is one hundred and five. The stop cocks remain the same, and the whole number is twenty-five, and three Waste Gates.
There has as yet been no action in regard to the occupancy of the land belonging to the State Lunatic Hospital, through which the aqueduct is laid, and on which the reservoir is situated.
The Commissioners would recommend that an application be made to the State Legislature for permission to occupy the ground for the purpose, and also for leave to occupy additional ground sufficient for another reservoir, when desired.
The average daily consumption of water, as nearly as could be as- certained, has been 30,000 gallons.
The water rates for the year have beeen collected for only six months, in consequence of awaiting the decision of the City Council in regard to the new list of rates.

The amount received for Water Rents for the year 1852 is 169 00
