I would also suggest, in the way of permanent improve- 

 ments for the building, that the front steps should be re-set, 

 and the front pavement raised and levelled. There should 

 also be a sidewalk elevator put in the cellar, for the purpose 

 of raising ashes and other heavy matter. 



Respectfully submitted,
