We have examined several charges of

we have found great deal of talk, bat
no evidence.
Charges against Fl. G. WiDgate,
Justice of the Peace of Lake Township.
for mutilating the records of his court;
dismissed.
Charges were preferred against R W.
Wood, County Commissioners, for mis-
demeanor 10 Office. The evidence es-
tabllshed the fact that he furnished
material and labor for county uses; the
charge was dismissed.
We have examined the Clerks
records carefully, aud find that M.
Meador, Justice of the Peace of Col
conda. and James Elliott, J. p. of
Paradise Township. have not made any
statement of fees for the last six
months. II. G. Wingste. Justice of
the Peace. has neglected to make a
statement of fees since Oct. 10th, 1877.
G. b. Woods. j. P. has not make a
statement since he has been in Office.
Several ConStables have neglected to
file statements of fees since they have
been in Office.
We would suggest that the attention
of the several Justices and Constables
be called to sections 1852, 1853 and
2754, of vol. 2, G. L.
County Surveyor and Coroner have
made no report.
We would also suggest that the at
tention of the Board of County Com
missioners be directed to section 3O9l,
Vol. 2, G.. l..
The ceiling of the Court. room is in
great need of repairs, and we would sug-
gest that a new ceiling be pat about
four feet below the present one, and
that it be made of lumber.
We also consider that the vault in
the Recorders Office is insecure ia case
of fire. and that danger 10 such case
might be prevented by an inner door.
The Sheriff's Office is clean and suff.
Gent for present purposes. but we
think that the supply of water is in
sufficient, and would suggest that the
County Commissioners take steps to
remedy the evil.
The cash in the County Treasury
corresponds with the Auditors state
ment of money on hand, which is
$7,ll3 Al.

are entirely satisfactory.
