ON HOSPITAL AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Your Committee on Hospital and
Public Buildings having performed
the duty assigned them, DO report as
follows: We founnd the County Hos
pital clean and comfortable and the
patients well satisfied. We are salts
fed that no improvement can be
made in this department.
We found that on January 5, 1885,
at about the hour of 3 o'clock A. NJ,
the county officers discovered the
Court House TO be on fire in the Office
of The County Recorder, and the fire
appeared to be coming principally
from pile OF chips in the open space
under The floor OF the northeast cor
ner of said Office. The officers used
every effort to extinguish the fire, but
failed To check it in any way and were
unable To get away any of the record
books out of the room and soon the
entire building was in flames. The
county records saved were those in
the Treasurer's safe, which relate
chiefly 10 the financial transactions
OF the county, and a few OF the Sher-
IFS books.
The County Commissioners have
ordered the Treasurer's records to be
copied into tue Authors books, rs
they are The only existing authority
showing the character and amount
OF the outstanding bonds and certiti-
Gates of Indebtedness against the
county. These records will protect
the county against fraudulent claims
in the form OF bonds or certificates Of
Indebtedness, winch might hereafter
be presented for payment.
Your Committee Is OF the opinion
that the Court House tire MAS the
work OF an lncenaiary, but tho mo
tivea that prompted the deed are To us
Il mystery. Until after the appropri-
ton from the State is received, we
have no suggestions 10 make In re-
gard TO permanent Court House, but
would refer this matter To a Commit
tee OF the Whole for careful consider
alton. The commissioners being
without funds or authority of law to
build at present, they need the
counsel of the Grand Jury i'll the
premises.

JOHN WEARNE,
ON TOLL ROADS AND PUBLIC HIGH
WAYS.
Your Committee appointed on Toll
Roads and Public Highways submit
the following We find there is only
one toll road In the county-that run
ming from Newark Valley 10 Eureka,
known as the Wadish Il Brehe toll
road. Upon examination of the rec
ords we lind that the owners of said
road have failed to render their state
ments according TO law, and we would
recommend that the County Commits
sioners notify said owners to comply
with the law i'll the premises.
We find the Supervisors for the
several road districts have qualified,
but owing TO the very limited amount
of money in the road district funds,
very little work can be accom- plished.
We recommend that steps be taken to
extend Road District No. 3, now run
ming from Duck Creek to the south
ern boundary of the town OF Cherry
Creek, further north to the boundary
line OF Elko county, and from said
road in Cherry Creek to point about
balfa mile above Vim. Burke's ranch
at Schellbourne.
