8. Encouragement to be held out to undertakers. It
might be of use I should have on paper what I
remember you threw out cursorily on that head, and
of which I have no precise recollection. Something
like the giving a pension for life to the amount of
the annual average of his savings, when supposing
success ascertained by for example a five-years
trial. Whatever it was, I suppose you would have
no objection to repeat it to me on paper, that in the
way of conversation I might make use of it; especially
in the form in which you mentioned which was nothing
more than your the opinion of the moment relative
to what ought to and probably would be done.
What is the standard you mean had in view from which the
savings should be computed? the present annual average expence
of maintai exclusive of that of the building? In
the article of felons for example I think you compu
mentioned in a loose way the expence as being
little short of £15 a head a 1 year. Say £15 for example Is it your
meaning that the contract shall be offered might be made at £15
15 a head, and that, for it so much saving is shall
be proved to be made out of that, the undertaker shall should
have his pension?
