In the Report of the Board,— Page xxxi., first line, omit the third word, "that." In the Report of the Secretary, Page 11, last paragraph, for "industrious classes," read "industrial classes." Page 38, last paragraph, for "city prisons," read "city prison." Page 62, ninth line from the bottom, for "impress," read "impressed." Page 66, the third number in the column headed "Monson," should be 22 instead of 32. Page 80. In consequence of an erroneous return, $25 should be deducted from the amount of "salaries" at Lawrence Jail and House of Correction, and from the footing of the column, which last becomes $76,306.36. Similar corrections should be made in Tables XXIV. and XXV. Page 88, corrected returns make the number at the House of Industry, October 1, 1867, 408, and April 1, 1868, 372. "I.-The State Prisons," for "I." read "II."; later and more complete statements make the surplus income of the State Prison, $26,171.24, the total receipts being $135,164.54, and the expenses, $108,993.30. Page 91, State Workhouse, second paragraph, fourth word, should be "committed," the number received having been 256 as elsewhere stated, four persons returning who had eloped the previous year. The next sentence should read, "During the year 144 have escaped," etc. Page 100. The "Receipts" at Monson are differently classified in the printed report of that institution, which makes the amount from "Special Appropriations," $6,456.84, and from "Current Appropriations," $65,912.07. This later statement is adopted in Table XLII. Page 107, Table VII., "Probable Current Expenses." These estimates are subject to modification by subsequent information. Thus the amount for Tewksbury is more nearly $66,000, the increase in personal assets being overstated by reason of defective returns in 1867, and the amount for Monson becomes $64,000 by neglecting the apparent decrease in personal property. The resulting "Average Weekly Cost," at these institutions, is $1.73 and $1.90, respectively. Page 108,"Resources" at Worcester Hospital; according to the financial statement made to this office, $28,439, according to the printed report of the hospital, $26,317; the the latter sum, excluding the "reserved funds," ($2,122,) which seem not to be applicable to the payment of existing liabilities. Page 113. The statistics of the Worcester Hospital here given are taken from the printed hospital report, and vary slightly from the more correct figures used in the Appendix. Page 130. The figures here quoted from the Tewksbury Report are confessedly erroneous. The true number admitted was 116, and remaining September 30, 1868, 264. Table XLVII. has the correct figures. |
