This leaves fifty-eight hundred dollars to be provided for. We are aware that the coming tax is Ukely to bo unusually large, and we do not wish to increase it by an excessive demand. Yet we also expect some increase in our own expenses, arising from our smaller crops of wheat, potatoeB and vegetables, which for the ñrst time in eight years will make it needful for us to buy breadstuffs. We respectfuliy ask, therefore, that you give us five thousand dollars, and wesiall hope not to be in debt at the year s end. Our new heating and ventilating apparatus promises to be a complete success. Most of you have had opportunitv to inspect it, but you have not as much proof of lts need as some of us whom duty oftener calis to the House. We believe it will pay in saving of fuel ; in a great reduction of fire hazard ; in ecuriiig perfect ventilation, in which all previous plans have failed : and in Ereatly increased comfort to the inmates by a uniform sufficient heating of every part of the House. Buch results realized are very gratifvingto us who are more immediately responsible for the care of the House and inmates. And we wish to express our sense of obligations to you for your prompt and liberal action in this ter. We wish also especially to commend your able Committee, under whose supervisión the work has been done, for their intelligent and painstaking care in this matter ; for they have neither neglected, nor made play of the duties assigned them, as results clearly show. We are also happy to say that the contractor seems rather to have sought credit for the thoroughness of his work than profit by slighting it. We believe the taxpayers have their money's worth and more, and will be more than satisfied. For ourselves, we have done our best to meet expenses with the moderate means at our disposal last year. That we have not quite succeeded, isperhaps no surprise. We shall still try to secure good results in our official work, with as little tax upon the public as possible. Respectfully submitted. D. B.

Therefore, in view of the same, I would in behalf of the cominittee move that the thanks of this Board be tendered to Mr. and Mrs. McDowell for the yery able manner in which they have diBcharged the duties intrusted to them. We also made a thorough and complete examination of the work done in the way of steam heating and ventilation ; and although it ia not quite completed, we feel satiefied that the work has been well done in a Bubstantial and workmanlike manner, and that the ventilation, which was much needed, will without a doubt prove a grand success. And although the cost may seem extravagant, we feel confiilent that it will be a saving to the County in the end, and that now the people of Washtenaw County may well feel proud of their County Poor House. Therefore, we deem it ourduty to thank the members of the committee on Public Buildings and Prof. M. E. Cooley, under whose supervisión the work was carried on. On motion of Mr. Gilbert, the report was adopted. Mr. Kress, from Committee on Criminal Claims No. 1, reported the following bilis and recommended their allowance at sums stated, to-wit: Clalmed.
