As the Governors are the Ground

Landlord of all these Houses they have
<
lb

</
lb

a two-fold Interest therein' it would
<

</

therefore be Proper in the Statement to
<
lb

</

deduct what the Ground itself is worth
<

which would be a Produce independant

And which upon a rough calculation of the

Money expended in the Erections does not Produce

more than three quarters Per Cent

Upon the whole it appears by this Statement
<
lb

</
lb

that the Houses in the Occupation of Tenants
<
lb

</
lb

at Will are not so productive to the Hospital
<

as they ought to be

Under the Consideration of the means for

remedying of this Evil it may be proper to state
<
lb

</
lb

to the Governors the following Circumstances.

It appears that the Inhabitants of this Parish
<
lb

</
lb

have been for a Series of Years rather heavily
<
lb

</
lb

taxed and owing to the destruction of Habitations
<
lb

</
lb

to make room for Public Buildings and other
<
lb

</

Improvement the local Taxes which must still continue
<
lb

</

to be discharged by the remaining Inhabitants
<
lb

</

must of course fall more and more heavily
