CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 39.
The crowded condition of the Almshouse and the consequent necessity of enlargement, and many other matters pertaining to the interests of the institution, as well as the best possible method of managing the same, were informally considered at that time ; and the satisfactory showing of the appraisal as compared with that of 1883 was referred to in evidence of the fact of the very efficient management of the establishment at the hands of the Superintendent and Matron.
At the request of Overseer Leonard, the Board inspected the interior of the small brick building occupied by the old men as an assembly room during inclement weather, and as it was not con- sidered sufficiently commodious for that purpose, it was voted that the partitions in the lower story be removed and the whole be refitted without any unnecessary delay.
The health of the inmates of the Almshouse generally has been as good during the past year as usual, and no epidemic has prevailed for which we have been called upon to make special provision, but the City Physician has called our attention to the need of some further provision being made for the proper care of cases of small-pox, should it come, and recommends an exten- sion of about thirty feet to the rear side of the pest house for an attendant's room, and an additional ward and the construction of a water closet there, at a probable expense of about $600, which sum will be asked for that purpose in the annual appro- priations for the coming year.
With the exceptions just referred to, the buildings at the farm are all in first-class condition, but as several of them are of wood, it is necessary to have them well painted outside in order to keep them so, and the Board desiring to have it done the coming season, the Superintendent of Public Buildings has been called upon for an estimate of the cost, and an appropriation sufficient to cover the same will be asked for.
The small second-hand upright steam boiler which was put in to facilitate the cooking arrangements of the Almshouse a year since, having proved insufficient and dangerous, it has been removed, and a horizontal steel boiler similar in size and con- struction to the two used for heating purposes, has been substi-

tuted, thereby insuring greater efficiency and safety, as also an economy in the amount of fuel required to operate it.
The telephone service at the Almshouse, as arranged in refer- ence to giving an alarm at the Police Station, and from there to the Fire Department headquarters, in case of fire, having proved unsatisfactory in its operations, the fire alarm box number 81 has during the past year been removed from the Police Station to the City Farm and connected with the regular City service, thereby avoiding what might prove of serious consequence in case of a fire there.
This has been done at the expense of the Fire Department, and to them are due the thanks of this Board for the considera- tion and interest shown by them in the precaution taken for the protection of the public property there.

SCAVENGER OR HOUSE OFFAL DEPARTMENT.
This department has, during the past year, as in years before, been severely criticised by many persons : probably by most of them for want of correct information on their part in reference to their own duties, as also of the duties of those intrusted with carrying out the requirements of the Board concerning it, and many complaints have been made of the lack of efficiency on the part of the officials, which although borne in silence, were entirely undeserved.
