The building is in a good state of repair. The Electric Light in- 

 stallation was completed on December 13th last, and since that time has 

 been in full operation, very much to the advantage of everybody and 

 everything concerned. The irregularities of supply have been but slight, 

 and although the cost is at present considerably in advance of that of gas, 

 the Committee have no reason to regret having made the change. It is a 

 source of satisfaction to them that they have been able to pay for the 

 Electric Light, and also for the painting and cleaning of the whole 

 Institution, inside and out, without borrowing money, or in any way 

 impairing the usefulness of the Institution. The charges for painting 

 and bookbinding will undoubtedly be less in the future. 



The Committee's best thanks are due to those who have kindly 

 given books, periodicals, and other articles during the past year, and 

 they close this Report by placing on record their complete satisfaction 

 with the manner in which the staff discharge their duties, and they believe 

 that their feeling in this matter is shared by those residents who use the 

 Library. 



On behalf of the Committee, 



GEORGE BOTTOMLEY, 



Chairman.
