The roads generally, except PAGES Ferry
! road have been worked, but from the in
cessant rains are not in as good condition as
should be- and request that the commission
ers see to il that they are, as soon as con
veuient and admissible, more thoroughly
worked. We would call the attention OF
the city authorities to the Atlanta street,
more especially nj Taylor's hill.
The bridge over Gothard creek is in Il
bad condition and very unsafe, in fact u
neM bridge is needed, The bridge over
SNeetw alter known MS Miler's bridge, is
also in bad condition and very unsafe.
The new bridge over Noses creek, known
as Hunters bridge, is also considered un.
safe. The bridge over Willeo creek, on the
old Marietta road known as Hicks bridge,
has fallen in and needs the attention of the
commissioners.
As we find that the tax ON Wild Lands is
unequal and unjust to other tax payers.
We request that our members to the next
Legislature see to it that the present be re-
pealed. and that owners of wild lands be
required to return in each county in which
these lands are, as other tax payers do, these
lands ad vaiorem in the county where they
are situated.
We recommend that tax of one hun
dred per cent. on the State,tax, for all cOun-
ty purposes, and also an extra tax of one.
tenth of one per cent for payment of the
bonded debt. be levied for the present year.
The Jury recommend that the amaant
per diem, 81 90, for services rendered The
county by Jurors and bailiils in the past year,
be the amount which shall govern the rem
dering of services by jurors and bailitis for
the present year, 1882. n
As there has been created vacancy in
the S46th District, G. NJ. ,.of Cobb County,
in N p and eNpfilcio Justice ofthe Peace,
by the removal Nom the District Of r. Ba-
Der, we recommend the nanie of Uriah Mat
thews to be appointed 70 fill the vacancy
We would respectfully and earnestly call
the attention of the next Representatives
from this county to the. necessity of law
prohibiting the dealing~in fictitious com
modities known as futures, and especially
those on agricultural products, as cotton,
corn, wheat, oats bacon, etc We believe
that they have very .pernicious effect on
the price of such products, and are demon
alizing in their tendencies, and subversive
of the best interests of the country.
We tender our thanks to His Honor Judge
Brown, for his able charge to the Jury for
guidance in our efforts for the enforce
ment of the laws, as we feel that it has been
of material assistance in our investigations.
His efforts in the rapid dispath of the bust
ness of the Court, his impartial, just and
courteous manner, entitle him to the thanks
of all concerned in the administration OF
Justice. Our thanks are also due to Solicitor
General G. f. Gober for his prompt and
courteous attention and valuable assistance
in our labors and to all the officers Of
Court for their promptness and efficiency
in the discharge of their duties
We request that these our Presentments,
be published in the MARIETTA JOURNAL.
All which is respectfully submitted
