The Grand Jury made their report as
follows The Grand Inquest inquiring in
and for the body of the county of Colum-
bia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
at February sessions A. d. 1884, respect
fully report to the Court of Quarter Ses,
sion of the Peace of said county, that in
discharge of their duty they have passed
upon all bills and matters submitted to
them by the District Attorney and said
Court; that they have examined the
county buildings and find the Register &
Recorders office in fair condition. The
casihgs in the vault of said Office IN order
for the proper preservation of the books
and papers ia their present condition are so
made as not to protect SAID papers and
books from dust; we would therefore rec
ommend that new casing and book cases
be built in said vault, and that they be 30
constructed that they can be closed with
glass sliding doors, and that the deed,
mortgage and will books not covered with
canvass be so covered in order to protect
and preserve them.
The Prothonotary's office needs no re-
pairs.
The Commissioners Office needs no re.
pairs.
We considered the suggestion made by
the Court and the members of the Bar in
reference to properly heating and ventlat.
ing the court room and offices in said
court house with steam; after careful
examination of the cellar under said build
ing we find that owing to the smallness
and darkness of said cellar, it would be
impractcable to place a steam heater there
in.
we would recommend that an addition
to the front of court house be built aftel
the plan recently adopted by the Commits
sioners of said County according to plan,
drawn by j. Ii. Brugler, and that upon tn,
addition being made and constructed,
steam heating apparatus be placed in til,
cellar under said addition, and the cour
room with all offices in said building b,
heated with steam, Upon an examination
OF the prison we find that said building
needs some repairs, viz; the roof is in
leaky condition and should be repaired a
once; locks to some of the cells do no
work and should be repaired; an iron ba
in one of the windows has been sawed of
the gate to the Jail yard will not close anC
lock; we therefore recommend that tn,
Commissioners employ competent work
men to remedy the defects in order tina
the county building and records may no
be destroyed and rendered useless. All o
which is respectfully submitted, February
y 1854. S. @. JAYNE,
Foreman.
