H REPoRT OF H GRAND JURY.
The Grand Jury came into Court and
after making the usual preamble submit
ted the following report I:
We have examined the Court House
and Jail and the county property and the
condition of the prisoners found in the
County Jail.
We find the prisoners in as good condi-
ton as the crowded cells will permit.
They report they are well fed and cared
for.
We desire to make the following re-
concentrations with reference to the
county buildings:
First, The lot adjoining the Court
House on the West side should be purcha-
sed by the County Commissioners as soon
as practicable, provided it can be purchas-
ed for a fair price.
Second, That n new W story
jail be built without delay. The
first story of this Jail to be
used for male prisoners, and the second
story to be used for female prisoners and
boys. When such jail is completed we
recommend that the present jail be con-
verted into offices and vaults for the valu-
able records of the county.
luIu, lnul u new klIcHeu % DulL at
the rear of the present Sheriff. residence
and that n good cellar be put under the
same. This improvement is much needed,
as there is at present no cellar or similar
place to store supplies, and the kitchen is
entirely too small for the purpose.
Fourth, We find hat the vaults now in
use are entirely too small for the %county's
records, and in our opinion they are not
entirely safe in case of fire.
We call the especial attention of the
County Commissioners this fact, and
earnestly recommend that larger and
more substantial vaults be built at once.
Fifth, That new stone sidewalks be
built on the east and south sides of the
Court House.
In closing our labors we desire to ex-
tend to your Honor the thanks of the
Jury for the courteous treatment we have
received during our sessions, and we also
wish to express our appreciation of the
prompt and efficient aid given us by Hon.
J. c. Baird, County Attorney.
After the Jury had made the above re-
port it was discharged for the term.
The Court thereupon adjourned to $50
o'clock this morning.
