The number of persons visiting the
office of Supt, made it necessary that there
should be good and comfortable rooms for
their reception; and the business of the office
required that its location should be eligible,
and convenient to the business portion of the
city. Locations of this character in this
city, where buildings are scarce, demand a
high rent, and cannot be procured at
figures which would appear low on the
Atlantic side. The house occupied by
me as an officer, would during the whole
time I occupied it have brought, certainly
as high, if not higher rent, than that which
I paid. There is an other important consid

of the building did all the office labor,
such as sweeping, cleaning etc, which was
a saving of not less than $50 pr month-
