518 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 17,. Archbishop Spalding and members of the Board of Man- agers, cordially welcomed the Committee to the institution, and extended every facility for a critical examination of the premises. The unimproved land is being gradually re- claimed, and it is hoped, in a few years, to make the whole of it a garden, when the institution will, to a great extent, be self-sustaining. Your Committee are fully convinced of the landable object of the President and Board of Managers, and earnestly recommend an appropriation of $25,000 for two years, one-half for each year of 1868 and 1869. ST. AGNES HOSPITAL. The committee in their tour of inspection visited this philanthropic institution, where they were met by the- founder of it, Charles M. Dougherty, Esq., and his estima- ble lady, whose name it bears, and whose private purse has supplied all deficiency, also, Sister Mary Ann, the mother of the institution, and were afforded the fullest opportunity for investigating the operations of the establishment. During the year 1867 there were 376 patients admitted, 176 of whom were males, and 200 females. Of these, 252 were- discharged, and 98 remain, 52 charity and 46 paying pa- tients. There were 270 charity patients among the whole number received for the year, and all who applied were always admitted, whether able to pay or not. The institu- tion is well managed, has done much towards alleviating the sufferings of the indigent sick, and the liberal efforts of the founder should receive, as we have no doubt they will, due consideration at the hands of the General Assembly. It is desirable to make some addition to the present accommo- dations ; and to aid them in this act, the committee would suggest an appropriation of $5,000 for two years. All of which is respectfully submitted for your favorable consideration. Z. POTEET, Chairman, J. R. BLAKE, A. S. PERCY, H. BECK, House Committee.. WASHINGTON A. SMITH, Ch'm. ISAAC M. DENSON, O. HAMMOND, Senate Committee, On motion by Mr. Denson, One thousand copies thereof were ordered to beprinted. |
