Heretofore a portion of th» alimshouse has been used for the confinement of petty offenders, convicted and sentenced by the Poltce Court, thus degrading the honest peor by immediate and constrained contact h criminals. This injustice is about to end by the transfer of all such convicts to the new Workhouse, constructed at a cost of about $22,000, which will be ready for oceupancy about ist February, and will accommodate about 100 inmates. “Additional room, however, will still he needed. This asylum, combining the features of local charity and correction, 1S of great social interest and importance to the people of this District. Involving, as it does, a necessary burden on their property, it is our duty to Inake the institution, as far as prac- Ucable, self-sustaining. This, we believe, can be accomplished in a much rT measure than isthe case at present, by utilizing the pauper and criminal labor at our disposal in the cultt- vation of land; thus furnishing to this un- fortunate class wholesome “and profit able employment without impairing discipline of the institution. We — th fore invite the earnest attention of Con- gress to the suggestions on this and oti subjects contained In the very int ting and important report of the commissioner of the asylum, herewith transinitted. He directs es fecial attention to the constant on it ard property involved in the present location o! the United States magazine within the Limits of the city and adjoining the srouads of tae asy- Yum. ‘The reservation on Which this wrzazin is now located, besides being wh y for the reasons mentioned, tor su lishment, would be a most the aecoram an estab able addition t tum and of the United States improvements now 0: the reservation would be linmed!. for workshops for the protitable employ ft the skilled labor of both institutions, and furniss facilities for the acquisition of useful trades b: the unskilled laborers, who would tien be qua ined and encouraged, when released from con- tinewnent, for a life of honest industry. Sui system of penal administration could not fail to be highly reformatory in its influence; while, at the same time, it would greatly diminish te cost of support both to the United States and the District ol Columbia. We again commend (6 the liberality of Con- gress the Industrial Home School of Georse- town. This charity, founded and chiefly sas- tained thus far by private benevolence, now oceuples, by permission, the Georgetown alin house, where a small number of District pau- pers are provided for by an arrangemeat be- tween the commissioner of the Washington Asylum and the managers of the Home School The benevolent ladies who have charge of this deserving charity have collected within the walls of this dilapidated buiiding about fitry indigent children of both sexes, whom they are educating in various industries, and for whom they provide homes so soon as they have at- tain sufliclent age aud qualifications. The workshop connected with the institution con- tributes largely to its maintenance, and exper ence thus far has demonstrated the wisdom aad beneticence of its plan. PAVEMENTS, The board present herewith a schedule of v: rious !mprovements which have been undert ken since the date of the last report. Although not strictly within the limit of the present report, the contracts entered into be- tween the Ist of July and the ist of October Isis, bave been added. Large additional con tracts, amounting in the aggregate to abou ‘$170,000, have also been given out since the latte date. The total amount of the paving contracts entered Into since July 1, 1875, is $259,000. Thi sum was fixed by the Commissioners as the limit of their operations during the present sea- son, and has been distributed uniformly through the several months beginning with the ist of August. In the ment of this work the board was at first to proceed with cau- See Sh of the bepimcier of ta: able property, and consequently the total rev- enues of the District for the current year, could hot be ascertained. The Commissioners have : also held that, bya judicious arrangement of the se Peuaitures of the District, the actual res- ident Pape aa may be constantly employed, and thus much suffering among the poorer classes be avolded.
