Your committee appointed to investi- gate the county surveyors ofice finds everything kept in 6 neat, orderly man - her. A single book represents all sur yeys and field notes taken or made by the surveyor. Maps of the roads recent ly completed in various parts of the county were shown 10 the committee, and are certainly good in appearances but on inquirisg if the surveyor had ever seen or been over these roads since their completion, VIC were informed 10 the contrary. We therefore hsvsto pre- sume that these roads are run according to the survey made, but can zee no par ticular good of thsss maps, since they gre not known to be correct. The sur veyor we think, e . competent judge, should have gone over thsss rosds or been made an inspector, with others, to see that these roads were right. The question being ssksd if the county pos sessed map of Pima county, the com mittee was usLered into the supervisors
 office to behold . miserable little outline called e map, bearing data 1881, and from which one would naturally get sn idea that this county was 6 vast desert. A line representing g railroad hurryins through few small dots representing two or three of the towns, but nothing that would show the county ss if really is. In consideration of the fact, the numerous places which have been settled since the map vas made, the many little farms and ranches springing uP in every part of Pima county. the committs urges she necessity of . proper nap, shovin 6 the fertile sections, that which is culti- ysted, the various roads, etc. The benefit of such can be readily sesn e an aid to sn county officers having business

in the country, guide to visitors and credit to this the foremost county of the teEitory. By the kind permission of the surveyor we were allowed the privilege of inspecting 8 large map which is par tially completed and which is certainly fine piece Of skill, and from personal ac- qusintance with certain parts of the county found it to be minutely correct. This map is the personal property of the surveyor aud thouyh, if we are informed correctly, it has been kindly placed at the convenience of certain county off cers and found to be very great benefit to them; we therefore recommend the completion of said msp,st expense of the county, winch would be a mere sum in comparison with the benefit derived therefrom. The map could be litho- graphed at small expense, and it reas = onable figure any one could procure a complete map of their county. To the assessor 8 map of this kind, We think, would be invaluable, and would greatly aid him in the discharge Of his duties.

Your committee appointed to examine the assessors office find the following: The books and papers kept in very neat and legibls manner. A list of the bonds given by persons possessing con- siderable personal property but with no real estate was examined. The bonds are few, and hence most sll have paid their taxes that possess only personal property. The committee are informed that there exists no official map of Pima county that the deputy assessor knows of-hss simply . plat or map which is very deficient and which has been pick ed up by some one of that office and bsars no official reference. A noticeable feature of this ofhce is the amount of poll taxes collected, which by the pres ent system enables them to collect from q great many that have heretofore been able to escape.

 Report that as far as the time permit ted, and the occasion in their judgment seeming to justify the time expended, they found affairs in a satisfactory con- dition. The clerical work is neatly dons, the books well kept, the expenses of run ming the different departments rsasons- ble, with exception of amount paid for clerk hire, the law allows sl50.00 per month for that service, and we would ask why the board pays s250.O0. The clerk of the county court is clerk of the board of supervlsors.
 If he cannot perform that duty, why should he not pay his own substitute, out of bis pocket! Why should the board draw 6 warrant in full for work not done and draw another for the man that does the work!

In regard to the jail, we find it contains twelve U. s. prisoners. As to condition of jail we deem it very insecure, and would respect fully recommend that screens be placed upon eight windows, two of same on al ley back of jail, two on east side of jail facing courthouse yard, and four on the court house facing jail yard; also that the wall of jail yard be built up at an angle where the same joins to main wall of court house and jail. We also re commend that the lower oells of jail be replaced by 6 set of same that would be secure, and deem the change should be made ss early 0 possible.

NOT WORTHY.

 Dinner was not quite ready. The col. onel's wife was tacking down a carpet. The colonel said that he would help her She looked at him suspiciously. It hurs his feelings. He got down on his knees and went to work. His words were the words of sobriety-he thought. Pretty soon his wife, in attempting to aiise, ut- tered a shriek. He had tackled her skirts to the floor. Then he began to blubber It was no use, he said, for man to try to be anybody. Everybody was work ing against him. He would go away and never come back again. His wife kissed him and he blubbered afresh. The col- onel, like many another man. is a brute.
