    The cost of the new Buildings and alterations having much exceeded the estimated outlay, the Committee were necessitated to apply to the Justices of the County of Bedford for an addi¬ tional loan of £534. The repayment of this sum as well as that owing to the maintenance account will be provided for out of the proceeds of the Asylum estate. The cost of maintenance has not exceeded 7s. 6d. per head, per week, throughout the year. The Committee regret that some of the Unions have not advanced sufficient funds to meet their expenses for the quarter notwithstanding continued appli¬ cations in that behalf. The balances due to the Asylum from Unions on the 31st, Deer., 1849 amounted to £118 165. 8f d. The following documents are annexed to this Report, viz 1.
