IN ASSEMBLY,

THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEW YORK ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS.

To the Legislature of the State of New York:

Agreeably to the provisions of the act establishing this institution, the undersigned trustees respectfully submit this their Thirty-third Annual Report.

RESOURCES FOR THE YEAR.

CLASSIFIED SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES.

On current expense account of the New York Asylum for Idiots, for year ending September 30, 1883.

From an examination of the books of the asylum we are able to report that on the 30th day of September, 1883, there were outstanding obligations and cash assets, in the following amounts:

OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS, SEPTEMBER 30, 1883.

ASSETS, SEPTEMBER 30, 1883.

There are enough supplies on hand to balance the excess of liabilities over assets.

The appropriation required for support for the coming year will be $63,000, the number of pupils accommodated being increased over those cared for heretofore. For the same reason, the appropriation for the custodial department should be $18,000. The number now under care requiring these amounts based upon the expenditure of this year.

The loss sustained by this institution in the death of Dr. Wilbur is well known to the public. A part of this report has been devoted to his memory, to which all interested in good works are referred.

The duty of securing a competent physician of experience, as successor to our lamented superintendent, was of the highest importance. Extensive correspondence was had with those specially interested in this great charity, and a committee visited several asylums for the purpose of obtaining larger knowledge of those in charge.
