Wash house part of Which have been accomplished
at a small Expence & which they trust will cause
a considerable Diminution in the Article of Coals
that they have made a Survey through all the
lower Apartments of the House where the material
Expence in Fuel arises - that they have visited
the Workhouse of Mary le bone - St. George Hanover
Square St. Giles in the fields - St. Andrew Holborn
Kensington & other Parishes in order to Collect
Information & also the Foundling & Christs Hospitals

That they do Recommend to Order the
immediate Sale of the Articles belonging to the
Brewery - as also the Copper lately Pulled down
in the Washhouse which was esteemed unnecessary
not having been used for upwards of 4 Months

That they also Recommend to continue to
Contract for their Bread as they have no doubt
from the short experience they have had that it is
a considerable Saving & with the Discount Allowed
is much Cheaper than Baking it in the house

They also Recommend to direct the
discontinuance of Buying Old Clothes for the use
of the Poor in the house being found of little use to
them & very likely to impose on the Officers who
Purchase them.

That they also Recommend to Order the
Election of the Master and Mistress of the House to be
Annual on the usual day of Election of other Officers

That they also Recommend an Annual
Account of the Receipts & Disbursements of the Overseers
