on the subject of his letter to the Trustees resigning
the office of Superintendent, also to consider the expedi-
ency of building a house for the superintendent, have
attended to the duty assigned them & submit the fol-
lowing report,

They have conferred with Mr. Howe, and
he has consented to withdraw his letter of resigna-
tion, and continue to discharge the duties of Super-
intendent occupying the same house & enjoying the
same privileges as heretofor with a salary of Eight
hundred dollars ($800) per year, - subject however to
such additional consideration of the Trustees at
the termination of the year may consider just; in
consequence of the increased cost of boarding the men.
And that the Trustees proceed as soon as practicable
to build a house for the Superintendent's use on
the lot of land belonging to the Corporation ad-
joining Mt. Auburn. All which is respectfully sub-
mited. -
