The committee cannot present this report, without expressing its high
appreciation of the services of Mr. Davis, the Vestry Clerk, and of Dr.
Barnes, the Medical Officer, which have been most cheerfully and ably
rendered. The committee consider that those services are deserving
not only of public recognition, but merit pecuniary compensation. The
committee have not thought it expedient to suggest any sum for adoption,
but recommend the question to the consideration of the Vestry.
