As to the Jail the Grand Jury say ::
The lock of the iron door needs repair
ing The lock of the outside door is
insufficient, and should be replaced with
a new one. The lock of the room now
occupied by prisoners is defective. The
cells all need white washing.
As to the new building on the north
east corner of the Court House lot,
which was erected about a year ago for
the use of the county Offices while the
Court House was being built, and which
is now occupied as a dwelling house,
the Jury are unanimously Of the opin-
ion that, as the purpose Of the erection
of said building has been served and
the same is no longer needed, the said
building is nuisance, and they earn
estly recommend that the Commission
ers proceed 10 remove the same.
The Jury examined the heaters in
the court House, and report that they
are entirely insufficient; at any rate,
they do not furnish sufficient hea: to
make the court room and jury rooms
comfortable.
The Jury desire to express their en-
tire satisfaction with the general ap-
pearance and arrangement Of the Court
House, and that they regard it as a
credit to the county Of Juniata, and a
source of proper pride to our citizens
and taxpayers.
