We the Special Committee appointed by
your Charmsn to examine the Grant County
Sherf's residence and to consider the FEAST
bility of building a residence on the east end
Of the jail building etc., would respectfully
report 10 your Honorable Board that we
have examined the building now occupied by
our Sheriff and find it as comfortable home
as the majority of the tax payers OF the CO. I'M
ty occupy and the building in good repair ,ex-
cept the roof, which is old and little leaky,
but with an appropriation sufficient to put on
single roof will be tenable and pleasant.
Therefore we do report that in our judg
ment in view of the stringency of the times,
to defer to until some future time the building
oil house for our Sheriff. We are aware that
II ID only question of time when structure
or addition will be put up for a residence to
the Jail. We deem IT a great inconvenience
TO the sheriff 10 be obliged TO carry the meals
from the house to the prisoners in the Jail, we
deem it less burdensome 20 him than TO the
tax payers TO build at this time.
