REVIEW OF PUBLIC
To A. Benson, Foreman Grand Jury;
Your Committee on Public Buildings beg
leave to report that we have carefully ex-
amined the Courthouse building, and
found one place over the courtroom leaky,
and recommend that 1t be repaired before
| further damage to the ceiling. Otherwise,
we find the building in good condition.
We visited the County Hospital, and
found it in good condition, with the ex-
ception of two rooms, the roof over each
being leaky; one room that requires new
| ceiling, and two rooms that need papering.
We recommend that they be put In order.
We further most earnestly recommend
| that the farther west room over the jail
(Which, by the way, We find In q very
filthy and unclean condition. be immedi
ately converted into two rooms by q parti
ton, and the windows grated or barred,
and all made strong enough 80 that the
rooms can be converted for the safe keep
ing of persons who may be insane; also,
for female prisoners. 1t has conn to GU
knowledge that both insane persons snd
female prisoners have been kept among the
worst criminals; we declare it TO be the
| united opinion OF your committee thai
| such treatment of that class of persons
| who must be kept confined is a disgrace to
our county. especially when a remedy car
be so easily and cheaply attained; for We
find the county has no use for the afore.
said room, nor has the county used 1t fol
any purpose for q long time.
We find the Jail damp and not cleanly'
kept.
We also visited the public school, and
find it in good condition, with the excep.
| ton OF the blackboards, which are in need
| of repairs, and the w~ater-pipes being
| frozen up. j. G. FORD,
Chairman of Committee.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
To A. Benson, Foreman Grand Jury,
| Your Committee on Fire and Water bog to
| report they have examined all fire plugs
| and find them in good order, except n al
| the corner of Main and CLARK streets was
| frozen (Mr. Bliss put men on and it is now
in order). The plug at the bridge, corner
Clark and Spring street, is not in order,
owing probably to the pipe being frozen
(Mr. Bliss already has men at work on
that. We find the engine and hose
houses all in apparent good order. We
would recommend a new plug and con.
nections at the corner of CLARK and Mum
