EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY. Mercer street, between Spring snd Prince streets. WORK-HOUSE. Blackwell's Island. The establishment of a Work-House for the employment of the able bodied inmates of the Alms House, has long been deemed a very essential measure. The first effectual step taken for the accomplishment of the object, was at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen, June 26, 1848, when Ald. Clarkson Crolius presented a very able communication on the subject, which was referred to a special committee of that body, consisting of Aldermen Crolius, Stevens and Hatfield. The Board of Assistant Aldermen also appointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. Hibbard, Morgan and Miller, who acted in conjunction with the committee of the Board of Aldermen. The deliberations of this committee resulted in the presentation of an able and voluminous report to the Board of Aldermen, on the 12th of February, 1849, in favor of the establishment of a Work-House, and they submitted an act to be presented to the Legislature, to carry out the said object. The recommendations of the committee were adopted by the Common Council, and the Legislature subsequently passed the act referred to. The building is now being constructed under the direction of the Governors of the Alms House, on Blackwell's Island. On the 3d of October, 1850, the ground was surveyed for the building, and on the 2d of November following the corner stone was laid by Mayor Woodhull, and the work is progressing as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
