A previous Grand Jury (the Grand Jury. of 1902,) made a timely recommendation calling upon the County Commissioners to have re paired or copied the index books in the office of the Clerk of Court, and we observe that no action has been taken in pursuance thereof and the said books are fast coming to pieces and will soon be beyond repair. We recommend that this matter be at. tended to at once. V. We recommend also that the County- Commissioners provide the office of Probate Judge with better and more ample facilities for the pro. servation of the records of that office. We appreciate the marked courte sy of Your Honor and the patience with which our requests for instrue. tion as to our duties has been given, and we desire, also, to express our thanks to the Solicitor and other Court officials.
