ON PUcLIo ROADS.
The Grand Jury beg leave to report in
regard to Public Roads, that they are gen
orally, IN all parts of the county. in bad
condition. Many of them have not been
worked for years and the County Court
has not appointed overseers for the roads
with any regularity, and when appointed,
notices have been served on the persons
! appointed as overseers in such an irregular
manner. that the County Court Clerk ca1
not tell who are legally appointed, or
whether notices have been legally served
or not. It appears to the Grand Jury that
the County Court as we'll as the County
Court Clerk, nave been remiss in theil
I. duties in regard to roads generally. The
condition of the roads are such and have
been run for SO long time that the matter
deserves notice.
