On Wednesday, 11th inst., the Grand Jury made the following presentment < to the Court of General Sessions and i was discharged : t To His Honor, Ernest Gary, Presiding i Judge : The Grand Jury begs to submit ita I presentment as follows : i We have passed on all bills turned over to us by the Solicitor except two, i where the witness failed to appear, and which we will return to the Solici tor. By committee we have examined the vari ?us offices of the county and lind them well kept and the books conven iently arranged and easy for intelligent public inspection. We And that only a few of the mag istrates are making monthly reports to the Auditor and Treasurer as is re quired by law. We made a caref ul investigation of the past indebtedness of the county and find it tobe $9,081.77, including Court House and Jail, and with no disaster to public buildings and bridges the entire indebtedness of the county will be wiped out this year. We find that a number of the town ships and 'school districts are carrying large balances into the succeeding scholastic year amounting to a total of $15,000. This has had the effect of shortening the Behool term in the townships, reserving these large bal ances. The committee examined the several dispensaries in the county and found the books well and correctly kept, and properly balanced. The request books are being kept nt each ci" the dispen saries. By committee the poor house and farm were inspected and a partial re port made. We find that the inmates are well cared for and contented, and the farm is in good condition. Tfi? following suggestions are made: That the barn be re-covered; that new pil lars be put under some of the houses; that th? steward keep an account of , all feed furnished the County Super visor for feeding county teams used in working the roads and other purposes, and also an account of whatever sales are made of any products of the poor bou?e farm. We are of the opinion that the steward does not give as much of his time to the care of the farm and inmates of the poor house as he should. Wewill probably make further sug gestions at the fall term of the court as to the keeping of the books and other things. The Court House and Jail were also visited by committee. The prisoners were found to be properly cared for. We recommend the following repairs on the jail: That the verandas be re paired and painted; that the coping around the ?aves and the valleys in the roof be repainted, and some small leaks be stopped; that the::: heater should have some repairs made on it before another winter. We find that the County Commissioners have neg lected to carry ont the suggestion made to them last year by the Grand Jury that certain leaks in the roofing or coping of the Court House, which are cansin 7 the outer walls to become stained and discolored. We ngain urge upon them the importance of at tending to this work. We suggest that the roof on the balcony over the front door of the Conrt House be re painted and a skeleton floor be laid I over it to protect the tin from wear caused by being walked on. We also suggest that the outside windows and door frames be repainted and the wainscoating in the offices be revar nished. . \ We are pleased to see that the Coun ty Commissioners continue to do per manent work on the public roads, but in some instances think they should have graded around the hills instead of doing so much work on old road beds op heavy grades. We recommend j that they have the loose rocks and other rubbish that is dragged into the middle of the road by the scrapes I thrown out and as far as ia in their power prevent people working land i along the roads dragging rocks, etc., into the roads. In conclusion wa desire to thank His Honor, the presiding Judfce, the Solici tor and other officials for their assist? ance to us in the discharge of our du ties. Respectfully submitted, J. B.
