To the Honorable, the Grand Jury Of War

G~ESTLEMEN-I beg leave 10 submit the

it was impossible tOtrace 3 title from them.
| have tho same rebound, and numbered,
and although they are still impertect, the inn
provement Is such 81 10 commend to the pub

have conducted the finances Of the county,
by outstanding her means, and judiciously
guarding her treasury, etc. Much more
might be embodied in this report, and many
suggestions might be made, to improve
the office and its workings, but time will
remedy many Of the defects, and by the as.
sistAnce ofour honorable Board, l trust TO be
