Gentleman
Your Committee to whom was referred the

villages, respectfully report that we have COM
pleted the same and submit the same to your
favorable consideration.

towns is the amount of 81 ,502, 795
which is equalized by us to
the amount of 81, 49O ,067
The aggregate value OF the farming lands
as returned by the assessor is So, 1881, III
which as equaliZed by us is 5,559,063
The aggregate value of the City and village
lots as returned by the assessor is $l,l57 AGO

Adopted.
Mr.. Caspar, Chairman of commit
tee on county property, submitted
report
To the Board of Supervisors of Grant coun-
ty, Wisconsin. The undersigned, your Com
mittee on County Property, do respectfully
report:
That we have visited and carefully inspected
the County Poor House, and the County farm,
and we found the same-as to buildings
fences and culture, in good condition and CIV
ing evidences of great care and superior man
agement
We also found the apartments occupied by
the persons there confined meat Clearly, and
well provided with necessary furniture, and
well warmed and ventilated, we also Judge
from the appearance of the inmates that they
are well and abundantly fec, humanely treated,
and provided with all necessary attentions to
secure their health and comfort, and we un-
hesitatingy state that we deem Mr. Showalter
and his wife admirably fitted for the position
they occupy, and which for several years they
have 50 ably filed. We also respectfully rep
resent that the cellar to the house needs to be
s-ell cemented, not only to preserve its con-
tents in good condition, but to promote or
secure the health of the occupants of the
building. We therefore recommend that the
cellar be well cemented, and we estimate the
cost of doing it at sixty $4,000 dollars.
We further represent that some more fenc-
ing is needed, say about 1000 feet. The cost
OF which We estimate at thirty-six $4,000
dollars.
We further represent that a platform on
the North side of the house between the doors,
and plank walk from the platform TO the
pump, are much needed, the whole cost of
which we estimate at twenty-five (S25.0O)
dollars.
Your committee do further report, that
they. have visited the Jail, the Court Room
and the Keepers out houses, and we find
them al in good order, and neatly kept.
Wedo however, represent that we consider
the hanging lamrls la The Cnnrt Room insecure !
