in company with our polite and efficient
Sheriff, which they found Clearly and secure.
In this connection they would draw the atten.
ton Of the County Commissioners TO the water
pipes in the wash room, they are so much on,
of order that they cannot be used, thereby
causing great Inconvenience; the water closet
also need repairs. The floor Of the Jail is at
various places decayed and torn away, also
much Of the plAstering has fallen of. The
Grand Jury would further state tina, there is
a vast amount Of old rubbish, coal ashes, &c.
in the Jail yard which has undoubtedly been
for years accumulating, presenting rather on
unsightly appearance.
We congratulate the people of our county
because Of the small number of prisoners now
confined in Jail. All Of which Is respectful,
| submitted.
