Daily national Democrat., 1861-05-24

Through our committees we find that the coun
ty offices are all In very good condition also
that the books papers and accounts IN the diner
ent departments as far as we could judge, in tn
| short time allotted us for examination, appear U
| he kent in a very systematic and neat manner
| From our committee to examine the county build
| inps county hospi tai and Feather river bridges
| 6c we learn that the school houses, county hos
ptal, and Feather river bridges are all in goo'
| condition. and are particularly glad to note IN
construction of good and substantial brldg
across Feather river in the place OF the one OF lat
year Our committee visited the county Jail, hat
did not find 1t in as good condition as we De,
| lleve it should be kept, and would recommhu
that iron bedsteads be procured for the prlsonTs,
| which we think would be a saving to the couity,
and would also contribute to the comfort of the
prisoners as the bedding appears to rot and spoil
from the effects of the iron rust from the foo. on
which the beds and bedding now lay.
| We find in the Jail at this time thirteen rison-
ers. held as follows. to wit: 2 for murder for
grand larceny; for assault and battery for
vagrancy. .,. A.,
We find that some repairs are nee.ed to the
iail yard, but they need no Recommendation from
ms as we learn the Board of Supervisors nave
contracted with the Sheriff of the c,unty for the
necessary repairs.
COURT HOUSE SUPPLEMENT on ENAhlNArloN OF THE
| COUNTY CoURT HOUSE.
We would recommerdo the hoh' boaTd Oh gu
peryisors that the Cort House be generally over
bouled and renairedI We find that a number OF
the fues are in badfder and especially those in
the lower rooms Hich smoke at times very bad
ly 50 much so aTo render the County Judges
room unfit for equation. We find also that the
roof is n YER leaky condition, so much so as
~ damage andinjure the ceiling and carpets in
tho pper rooms, especially in the County Court
,nI We gould also recommend that the wood
TX of the building throughout be well painted,
nd that the walls and ceilings of some of the
rooms, that particularly need it, be whitened
also, that the pavements through the building
need attention. We think twoud be ajudcous
expenditure of money to make the above improve
further and continual injury and destruction of
property.
We are much pleased to be able to report so
We find them in very aourishng condition and
most excellently conducted, with an average at
tendance at this time of two hundred pupils. We
DESIRE however, to call attention to the condition
of the school room under the Methodist Church,
and We would recommend that either the room be
well repaired-the walls whtened etc.-or else
that it be abandoned, and the pupils transferred
to the public school house, where there is at pres
ent plenty of room for them,, and where they can
remain till larger accommodations are necessary,
when suitable room-clean, well lighted, and
with large and enclosed play-yard for the pu-
pills could be secured.
The Grand Jury would return their thanks to
the Sheriff and District Attorney for kind atten-
tions and valuable assistance during our labors.
All OF which is most respectfully submitted.
S. SPENCER, Foreman.
L. G. FOWLER, Secretary.
