The Grand jury made their final report as
follows:
COLUMBIA COUNTY IS -
The grand Inquest Of Pennsylvania in
qui'ingfo the body Of The county of Col
umbia, respectfully report:
That we endeavored to discharge our
duties in the matter of the presentment of
bills of indictment which were laid before
us, impar,ially and to the best of our abil-
ity.
That we have examined the public
buildings and we make the following rec
concentrations in the way of improvement
and good repair of the countys property:
1st. That the tin roof on the Jail build
ing be repainted and tnat the lamp posts
in front of Jail be kept in order for lighting,
and also that other lights be procured upon
the same street leading from the jail to
Main street.
2nd. That the Court House and Jail be
connected by telephone, and that the
Sheriff be remunerated the money expend-
ed by him for the telephone already at the
Jail.
3rd. That new town clock be procur-
ed to take place of the one now in use,
and that the steeple upon the Court House
be repaired, and that the grounds about
the Court House, and streets and alleys
leading thereto be kept neat and free from
rubbish.
4th. In our judgment we believe that
it would be matter of greater convent
ence to the citizens of the county, if our
September term of court should come at a
later period and would suggest a change
in this respect If practicable; and further
that the Court House and the public offices
are sufficiently large and commodious for
the wants of the public; also that the
Sanitary condition of the jail should meet
the attention of the commissioners, and
better drainage and sewerage be had
We will not say anything about the
nuisance in the rear Of the Court House
called IA water closet as we learn that
Grand juries have repeatedly called atten-
ton to this matter, and it is still there.
We are glad to learn however that .he
commissioners will not permit this to be
the subject of complaint hereafter.
