Townsend presiding Judge: Having discharged the duty devovlcd upon us by your honor for the March term of Court for Union County. We the (Jranu Jury of said County desire to make through our foreman the following presentment and recommendations. M u V A 11 I II I I K ' i lliv; i'ltlOUi O Willi u anil found it noatlv anil well kept in every particular ami the bond lbr $10,000. sale. We examined the School Commissioner's office anil found it not well kept and books improperly kept. The Commi.-sionor says lie had measles in his family and had not been in his office enough to get it in good condition but would have it in first class order by the July term; and we found bis bond for ftohOO safe. We examined the Judge of Probate's office and found it well kept and that lie needs a safe or a vault to keep the records in, as be lias none, if a vault is built it can be used by him and the Auditor and we recommend that it be done, also that lie or the proper authority be ordered to furnish iiim stationery for bis office. His bond is safe. We examined the Sheriff's office and books and find them well kept and his office neat and dean. His bond is good. Wo recommend that the window in the JSherilFs office bo cut down in order that it will be more comfortable to the Sheriff and the people with whom he has business and that some shelves be put in his office to hold his books, as many as are necessary. We examined the Jail carefully and find in needs considerable repairs. The window shutters should he taken off from the inside of the Jail and put on the outside. The blankets and beddi ng are insufficient for comfort. Also that the windows on the north side of the Jail be raised in middle to prevent water from running in when the wind blows. We also lvcomnu ml the heater be improved so as to furnish more beat. \\ e also recommend that the jail he enclosed by a plunk fence ton feet high. The preccedmg <Iran 1 Jury have nnnle the same sort id recommendation ami no attention has been paid to it. Also that a sewerage system he provided for the jail as it i> necessary for the health ol tli3 prisoners. We further recommend lit;.' the town conned < ! I nio:i 1> m i I: ? build a guard h 'ti e or ealah ? ?<? to |>11L their prisoners in instead of pn tii??? them in the County jail an 1 using the ('utility lied dm;;. We recommend that three more water closets he built near those a!reailv Imi!:. We examined the Auditor's oiiiee and found boohs ami oiiiee well Kept, and after examining the returns we i i 11 d ipiite a lot of projie:;, ..v.. ieturncd and a good deal more prop i: v tiot assesse I at its propel value ami we recommend the eipiali/.aiion j. v.id take the matter in hand an i rcctiiv it. U'~ .... .. ! I J ... 1 !./. 1 IS . equalization uive this mutter ti:i-:r attention si.s liny have passed it over heretofore. Most oflhodiserc ancv is in town. We examined the ''ierh s ??!".iv-t? and lin-1 it all ri^ht in every resncet. Weaxamiiio 1 the County Treasurer's oiiice and find it. well kept. Wccould not s^ot t(> the Sup'-n isor's oflice as he was out of town and we recommend that your honor auth > iv.c the tirand .lurv to appoint an export employee t > exatiiine hi- h.<>!<.? thoroughly aiid report i > its at the next term and to perform hi-: work as speedily as consistent witit his duty. The Supervisor knew we would he at his oflice this niorniuo and lie left. We wish voir honor won hi inipi.t'. into this matter and fuel out why lie absented himself. We. by a la rite committer. c.vuninoil the poor lions,, ami found things verv irregular. The Superintemleii' e >uM not ejivo any information as he sai<l Mr. Scott, the Supervisor kept til the hooks and we have not been ahh to eet Mr. Scott. We find beddirijj scarce, ami wc found ;i small lot ol < grinds in the County c<>iii:uian helon..'in/, t > the Superintendent flu sale The hotmev need sonic repair The paupers claim that they ^uinnn two meals per day and wished three . This is about all the information we j can give on account of not finding : Mr. JScott. There is one little orphan i there that should he attended to, and j \vc hope your honor will order it done. It eonics to our knowledge that the liiee bridge over fair forest between here ami (Jlenn Springs is in a bad fix, dangerous, and the roads generally over the County arc had. The flat at llodgors bridge is rotten and unsafe and the keeper or ferryman is frequently absent and people frequently go there and wait an hour or two and have to go awav without crossing. Several Trial .Justices have not brought their hooks ami we did not examine the few that were brought. \? e respectfully request an order ; from the court ;br authority to allow | the'man we may select t . examine i the books of ^Supervisor to :-eml for | persons ami papers, also to nay him a just remuneration lbr his services. We thank your honor for courtesies shown us! V.'o are especially pleased and proud that we have one of our own County men to preside in such an efficient and equitable manner, and we found our duties easy to be performed liom the explicit directions given in your charge. 1*.
