290 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Feb. 6, No. 5. The entrance door to this house is almost entirely gone, and the first floor much out of repair, and we find about one hundred broken joists throughout the building. The second floor also needs repairs, and we would suggest that as the auction room in this building is not used, and its space is needed for drying tobacco, that the partition be taken down and the space be devoted to the legitimate purposes of the warehouse. The spouting and pavement around the house also require repairing. In our examination of all the houses, we find every indica- tion of care and attention on the part of the Inspectors, with one exception, viz: the habit of emptying ashes in some part of the houses, which we consider dangerous, and we would recommend that a tank or receiver be at once constructed for the better security of the property. Your committee feeling convinced that some measures should at once be taken in regard to repairing the warehouses, would most respectfully suggest that a committee, composed of practical builders, be at once appointed to examine the warehouses, and report the amount, in their judgment, neces- sary to make the needed repairs. All of which ie most respectfully submitted. JOHN THOMAS BOND, FREDERICK SASSCER, R.JOHNSON COLTON, J. H. STEELE, GEO. A. FEIG. Committee. "Which was read and adopted.
