President’s Report.

To the Trustees of the Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts, —

G e n t l e m e n : — I have the honor to submit my Third Annual report, for the year ending July 25, 1885. At no time during the year have we had a vacant bed in the Home, besides having a large number of applications for admission on file with our Secretary ; but thanks to the Loyal people of our State, our call for help was heard and answered through the Car­ nival Committee, giving us funds sufficient to erect a hospital, thereby enabling us to better provide for our sick comrades, and giving us additional rooms in the main building for the dis­ abled. The experience of the past year has shown me that our organ­ ization is defective to some extent, and I desire to recommend a few changes : — 1st. Our year closes July 25, yet our annual meeting is not held until the first Thursday in November. In my opinion this should be changed, and the annual meeting occur not later than September 1st. 2d. By our act of incorporation, fifteen of the eighteen mem­ bers of our board must be comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, and any vacancy among said fifteen must be filled from the Council of Administration of that organization. The work of the Grand Army has become so great that it requires all the time a comrade can spare to attend to Department duties, there­ fore we find it difficult to select men who can give time and atten­ tion to our work, among the small number from which we are compelled to select. I recommened that we petition the Legisla­ ture to so amend our act of incorporation that any comrade in good standing in the Grand Army of the Republic may be eligible to election as a Trustee. 'Phe past year lias been the most successful in every respect of any since the Home opened. The fact that the Home now shelters 4 one hundred and eleven men, with more than twenty applications on tile for admission, proves that our beloved associate, Gen. Horace Binnev Sargent, was right when lie urged so strongly that it be established. That the people of our State are in full sym­ pathy with our work is proved by the generous response to every call, and the unamimous vote by which funds are annually appropri­ ated by their representatives in the Legislature. In closing, 1 thank you, my associates, for the support you ha\e given me, and urge you to continue faithful and steadfast as you have ever been. I again thank our Treasurer, Capt. George 4\ . Creasev, for his faithful services. IN e realize that on his shoul­ ders rests the largest share of the burden ; to discharge the duties of his office is no easy task, and I urge the Auditing Committee and all others to render him all assistance possible, by promptly attending to duties assigned them. While it is impossible to mention all that have contributed to the support of the Home, we should especially thank the Ladies’ Aid Association for many generous contributions, among which was the erection of the substantial steps which now make accession to the Home much more safe and easy. The total expense of the steps, amounting to $406.45 was borne by the Association. Also the Woman’s Relief Corps of Massachusetts, who have done so much towards furnishing the rooms, and giving entertainment to the men. To Major Lucius Slade, Major Charles G. Davis, and the marketmen of Boston, we are grateful for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and to all others who have in any way contrib­ uted to the happiness and comfort of the men. To General and Mrs. Cunningham, Superintendent and Matron, who, since the Home opened, have never become “ weary in well doing,” we extend our sincere thanks. I herewith submit for your consideration the reports of the Super­ intendent and Treasurer of the Home, which contain valuable information, and which are worthy of your careful perusal.

Respectfully submitted,

The receipts for the past year were from the following sources ;— $15,000, appropriated by the State; $1,784.85, interest on bonds; $86.76, increased value of bonds sold; $200, bequest of Mrs. Elvira Hawes of South Boston ; $100, the annual donation of Mr. Geo. Draper of Hopedale ; $62,312. 17, from Hon. Henry B. Peirce, Treasurer of the Carnival Committee, the result of the Carnival held in Boston in May last; and $601.76, from various other sources. The expenditures for the year just ended have been less than for any year since the opening of the Home in 1881, and is attributa- 47

ble to the fact that but few repairs have been needed, and no ex­ tended or costly improvements have been made during the year. The average expense per man has not materially changed from that of former years, but with the increased capacity of the new Hospital that has already been determined upon, and by the time the annual report is circulated, will be in process of erection, the aggregate expense for the year upon which we have now entered must necessarily be considerably larger than any previous year. The present capacity of the Home is one hundred and eleven, with accommodations for twenty-four in Hospital, not quite one- fourth of the whole number. W ith the addition that is to be made, it is expected that in the aggregate one hundred and sixty can be provided for, and nearly one-half the number, seventy, will be hos­ pital patients. With this additional expense of Hospital, we should endeavor to impress upon all who are charitably disposed, the importance of our Home, and the great good it is accomplishing. That in no institution in our State would a donation or legacy be more grate­ fully appreciated than by those who are dependent upon the Sol­ diers’ Home for support. At the commencement of the present financial year, I had in cash $74,328.02, for which the banks were paying but 2% interest, By direction of the Trustees and with the advice of the Finance Committee, I invested $50,051.25 in the following sureties : —
