460 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 13,

The Directors of the Institution are unanimously of the
opinion, that temporary relief should be immediately given,
and that it will be necessary in the course of a few years to
build a new Penitentiary.

They think that it is absolutely necessary that $75,000
should be immediately appropriated to build two wings for
sleeping accommodations for the prisoners.

Your Committee have taken into consideration, that as there
exists an absolute necessity for a new Penitentiary, the pro-
priety of an immediate expenditure of so large an amount as
$75,000 to add to the old, and respectfully submit it as their
opinion, that the amount of money required should be appro-
priated by the Legislature to build a new Penitentiary, that
will meet the demands of the growing condition of Maryland.

G. F. MADDOX, Ch'n.
F. DORSEY HERBERT,
VICTOR HOLMES,
JAMES PENTLAND.
