Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Governors of the Alms-House, New York: For the Year 1852 At the Penitentiary, the attention of the Board is called to the crowded condition of that prison. This will soon, to some extent, be obviated by the completion of the New work-house building, and transferring to it all the able bodied male vagrants usually sent to the Penitentiary. At the Nurseries on Randall's Island the buildings have all been painted, and placed in good order for the comfort able occupation by the children. A large store-house has been erected on the dock at the ferry, and the general con dition of the inmates is of a satisfactory nature.
