sPFCIAL STATF LIOUOR ~.

We have examined the books Of the Tax
Collector and find that Odt of $40 names regis
tered, 344 have paid. OF the remaining five
we are informed that two, although register
ed, did not commence business, namely, John
X. Meyer and E. Barnwell (c). We therefore
recommend that they be not required to pay
the tax.
The names of the other three have been
handed in to the Solicitor General for his
action, as also has the name Of one who is
paid the tax.

We have examined the building and find 1t
kept in a clearly and neat condition. We
find defect in the water works, and q leak
in the roof. We find also that it is necessary
for ventilators to be put in the closets, and re-
commend they be attended to at once. We
found the books kept in a very neat and sys-
tematic manner. AS for the new jail, we
have no opinion to express, as we nave not
been furnished with any of the details, but
be used for that purpose, We do not think the
space large enough.

from our knowledge of the ground that is to
BE- used for that purpose, We do not think the
space large enough.
CONVICT CAMP.
We have visited the convict camp, and
Cuyler swamp canal We found the camp
well located, and the buildings and grounds
clean and in perfect order; the food and
clothing of the cOnvicts as good as could be
desired; the conyIcts themselves apparently
very healthy, there being but two cases
of serious illness out of the
,nInety-One cOnvicts who were there at the
time of our visit. The physician visits the
camp twice a week. As the number of con-
vicls will probably increase, we recommend
that daily visits by him be made hereafter.
The small increase in cost would no doubt be
more than repaid in the increased efficiency
of the cOnvicts. The County Commissioners
deserve the thanks Of our citizens for the
good work they are doing, and, as the canal
viii soon be completed, we hope they viii be
authorized TO dig similar one west of the
White Bluff road, draining the lowlands south
and southwest of the city. The cost of the
whole Will be repaid in the near future by
the increased value OF the lands drained, in
crease OF taxable property and improved
health OF the city and its Surroundings.
MAGISTRATES.
The books of the different Magistrates and
NOtaries Public, eX-0fiiclO Justices, have been
examined and found correct, as far as we
could determine. Special mention Is made OF
the neat and thorough manner in which the
books of Magistrates NJ. F. Molina and war
ing Russell, Jr., are kept. They are the
models of neatness and correctness.
COURT HOUSE.
The committee appointed for the purpose of
lnspecting and reporting upon the general
condition of the court house, as well as the
practicability of securing increase ofroom and
facilities for tTansactlng the business OF the
various departments, beg to report that they
