REPORT:

The act passed in 1832, entitled "An act relative to the Capitol, and the grounds connected therewith and belonging to the people of this State," appropriated the sum of $8,000, and required the Trustees to "cause the park and grounds in front of and adjoining the Capitol to be pitched, reduced, levelled, and enclosed with a permanent and durable fence, of such pattern and description as they shall think most suitable and proper, taking into consideration the location and situation of the grounds, the objects for which those grounds are reserved and intended, and the necessary economy of expenditure in the construction of the fence."

In the report of the Trustees which was presented to the Legislature in 1833, (Assembly Documents, No. 150,) it was shewn that there had been expended previous to the date of that report, for the wall and coping on which the fence stands, and for excavating and levelling the grounds, and in payments upon the contract for the fence, and for other charges which are detailed in that report, the sum of.... $7,299 46

Carried forward,
