    Trustees’ and Treasurer’s accounts. They have at various times visited and thoroughly examined the Asylum at West Roxbury, and have found it in excellent order and admirably fitted to fulfil the pur¬ poses for which it is intended. Since the last report an additional piece of land has been acquired, giving an increase of frontage on the street and space which can be made available for the erection of build¬ ings, should the Asylum need to be enlarged at some future day. The building for the nurses has been completed and occupied recently, and is well adapted to its uses. In the rear of the estate land has been disposed of to the city of Boston which could hardly have been made available for the purposes of the Asylum. The number of applications for admission this year has been three hundred and seventy-one, the number of patients admitted seventy-six, remaining from last year twenty-nine; the whole number under treatment during the year one hundred and five. Thirty-seven have been discharged as recovered, twenty-seven as relieved, and sixteen as not relieved. The average number under treatment has been twenty-seven and 9-100. May 9, 1883. A. L.
