The (iraiul Jury respectfully| make the following report. ^ e | (?}i have investigated and passed; upon all bills of indictments sub-1 mitted to us and have reported un oui finding thereon to the court.

II is now really in a j1(J dangerous condition. | The jail is well kept and is in . fairly good condition, but we recommend that some different ar- ou rangement he made for supplying heat to the jail without cndan : c|u goring the building. The stove y now in the jail is just above the wooden stairway connecting the second lloor where the prisoners I):l are confined. In case of lire breaking out the stair way would ter most certainly catch and the only jn communication to second story we would be cut off. An iron stairway in place of the present one would be better. f?r We commend the County Hoard wil of Commissioners for the at ten- (jr( tion they are giving the public nj roads of the county.
