west Of the Ruby Hill railroad. Also, we
recommend that he fire tanks to the west

To George W. Cassidy, Foreman
Your Committee on Public Buildings
beg leave to submit the following report (;
In the opinion OF your committee the
property lately purchased south OF the
town Of Eureka, by the Board of County
Commissioners, acting under the advice OF
and in pursuance OF the valuation placed
thereon by the Board OF Appraisers APP
pointed by His Honor the District Judge,
Is, and was at the time of purchase insult
able for such Hospital purposes; and we
are further OF the opinion that the price
paid wa unreasonably high, constituting
an extravagant and unwarrantable expendi-
| ture of the public money! The buildings
| will require the outlay Of . large sum to
| place them in proper order for use, in add
| tion TO the amount which has been lavished
| upon them.
We found the County Jail In a most dis
| gushing condition, and Q positive disgrace
| TO any civilized community, notwithstand-
| ing the efforts OF the Sheriff to keep the
same In proper order. The Jail has been
| condemned BY previous Grand Juries. IT
| cannot be too severely condemned now.
II il cramped and almost wholly without
ventilation. We earnestly urge upon the
| Board OF County Commissioners the i'm
portance OF placing 1t in habitable shape
| without further delay. We recommend
| that the entire first floor Of the Jail build.
| ing be devoted to improved iron cells and
properly ventilated.
The Courthouse and offices located
| therein are all new and bright and in most
| excellent condition. The Court-house as q
whole is q credit to the county. b.,
The same may be said Of the new school
house.
The engine and hose houses and the fire
apparatus generally were found to be In q
satisfactory condition.
All OF which Is respectfully submitted.
