The number of boys and ^irls now in the house is three hundred and thirty-four. In their care and education, twenty- three officers, instructors and assistants are employed. Making the entire resident white population of the household, three hundred and fifty-seven. The government of the institution is committed to a Board of twelve Commissioners, elected annually by the City Council. The current expenses of the establishment are defrayed in part out of the public endowment fund of the institution, held by Trustees, and which amounts to $168,489 60. The excess of the expenditures over the income thus derived, is provided for by annual appropriations of the Municipal Council from the general treasury of the city. A private fund, amounting to $76,775 98, is placed by ordinapce of the city, under th-e imme- diate control of the Board of Commissioners. The income of this fund is appropriated by the said Board to the personal comfort and advancement of the children, and to the* benefit of other members of the household. The appraised value of the real estate of the Institution, embracing the buildings and grounds north of Calhoun street, is $420,000. Since 1854, extensive additions and impi-ovements have been made, which involved changes in the economy of the Injtitu- tion, and rendered tlie written regulations previously adopted, in many respects, inapplicable and insufficient. To remedy this, the following codification of the Municipal and State laws appertaining to .the present organization^of the Institution, and of the standing rules of the house, now offeree, has been prepared and adopted by the Board of Commissioners, and api^roved by the City Council.
