In making this statement and estimate, your Committee must be understood, to comprehend only, the whole cost of the build- ing, and establishment, complete for occupation. - The powers and authorities of the present committee, in their apprehension, extend no farther. But in the present advanced stage of the undertaking, they deem it their duty and within the scope of their instructions to recall the attention of their fellow citizens to its original design, and to those arrangements, which have now become necessary, in order to put the Institution into a train of prosperous activity, in relation to the objects, for which it was originally designed ; for the purpose [469] of bringing before their fellow citizens, the powers and authorities, which ought now be given and exercised for these purposes.
This Institution had its foundation in two petitions, brought forward by Thomas Howe and others, and by Joseph May and others. - The objects as specified in the former petition, were ; " for the establishment of a House of Industry, Work House, or Penitentiary, where means might be afforded for the employment, instruction, and reformation of the idle or vicious poor, and of those capable of doing any thing towards their own support, and yet claim public charity." The objects, proposed by the latter, were the establishment of " a Workhouse, in some secluded situ- ation, as a receptacle for the idle, the dissolute, and intemperate, where; under a strong and vigilant government, they may be employed and kept secluded from a mischievious intercourse with the town, their labour made to contribute to their own support, their habits improved, if not reformed, their number diminished, and the growth of the alarming evil of pauperism checked, and the public burthens ultimately lightened."
These objects, thus developed, have been the basis of two dis- tinet reports to the Town made by the Committee, charged with the consideration of those petitions, and afterwards with the erec-
271
BOSTON TOWN RECORDS, 1822.
tion of the House of Industry, and have [470] been strictly kept in view, in all their plans and arrangements made upon the subject.
The great, primary objects of the Institution, your Committee have always deemed to be, moral effect, upon the idle and vicious poor.
1st. By restraining them. - 2ª. By compelling them to work. - 3ª. By secluding them from their old haunts and giving them new habits. 4th. By affording them moral and religious instruction suited to their age or condition. 5th. Relief to society from open drunkenness and street beggary, and the petty pilfering carried on under the forms of poverty by children of the idle and vicious poor on our wharves, in our streets, and in our Market places.
The secondary objects of this institution, in the apprehension of your committee has always been the diminution of the expenses of the town and of the burthen at present sustained, in supporting the idle and the vicious, and that part of the poor capable of labor. This object, however, your Committee consider not only as secondary, but as incidental ; and though a certain consequence of a well arranged and well conducted system of management, of this establishment, yet not as the test either of the importance of the original design, or the success of the institution.
Your Committee apprehend that, altho' the institution should not by [any] possibility effect [41] an immediate or early reduction of the expenses of the Town, in this relation, yet that a good to society, greatly surpassing a pecuniary benefit, will result ; -- not to be estimated by money and superior to all con- siderations of that nature.
Without pressing general reflections of this kind farther on the attention of their fellow citizens, already sufficiently satisfied and sensible of them, as the origin and the present progress of this Institution abundantly evidences, your committee restrict them- selves on the present occasion simply to remark, that in the present stage of the establishment, it is proper that a system of management, conduct, and discipline should be in train of prepa- ration - that the land connected with it should be put under the control of some superintendence, having reference to the general design of the Institution, - that measures should be adopted, and authorities given for the selection of a suitable Overseer, so that as soon as it is capable of receiving its inmates it may be in a condition to begin its work of restraint, labor and discipline. Whether these objects will be better to be entrusted forthwith to any special committee, or be referred to those authorities, which under a City organization are about to be invested with
272
CITY DOCUMENT NO. 128.
the care and management of the [472] concerns of the Town - your Committee refer to the wisdom of their fellow citizens ; only remarking, that upon the vigor of the management, the wisdom of the system, and on the qualifications of the superintending officer, its economical, if not its moral effect, must obviously, in a great measure depend.
All the committee apprehend at this time necessary to be done, is to authorize such a sum of money to be put at their disposition as will enable them to complete the Institution at the time con- templated ; and that they should be authorized to make such gen- eral arrangements of a temporary nature, relative to the manage- ment and preparations of the land, as the present season may require, leaving to the new authorities the power of selecting the superintendent and arranging the general system of discipline and conduct.
As, however, in the opinion of your Committee, it may be pos- sible that some modifications of the laws may be useful in form- ing such a system, and a consequent resort to the Legislature at their ensuing session, necessary, and as waiting for the organiza- tion of the city authorities may occasion an inexpedient and dis- advantageous delay in commencing the operations of the system, your committee respectfully suggest, that authority should be invested in and instructions given to this or some committee to prepare such a system of [473] conduct and discipline, and to lay the same before the city authorities, as soon after their organ- ization as may be practicable by way of report, with such elucida- tions as may be deemed expedient ; and that the town should recommend to the city authorities, to take early measures, for the consideration of the subject matter of such report, and for the adoption of an efficient system of discipline and management ; and for the putting the Institution into effective operation. In conformity with these views, they present to their fellow citizens, for their consideration and adoption, the following resolutions. -
