CONCLUSION.

The majority of the residents have co-operated with the management towards the harmonious conduct of the institution, by strict observance of the few rules necessary to conserve the best interests of all.

During the year 87 residents have been admitted, 27 deaths occurred, 61 vacated, and 5 were expelled.

In closing I wish to thank President Lynch and Secretary Hays and Ex-Secretary Bramwood, who, on behalf of the board of trustees, have given prompt and courteous attention to all correspondence. I also wish to express my appreciation of the co-operation of Resident Trustee McCaffery, who has given liberally of his time and attention when Home affairs demanded his consideration. Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES DEACON, Superintendent.

In presenting the foregoing report the board of trustees of the Home has endeavored to fully comply with the laws requiring that conventions of the International Typographical Union shall be furnished with a complete account of the transactions of those intrusted with the management of the institution. We also desire to assure the delegates to the St. Joseph session and the membership in general that it has been our aim to fully carry out the terms of the trust reposed and to administer the affairs of the Home in such a manner would prove creditable to the International Typographical Union and beneficial to those enjoying the privileges of the institution.
