Ts the Police Jury:
,l,l:..
| that alter u careful examination OF the root
I Of the cuui thOuse, assisted by Messrs. COuOn
and Seeiy, they find it to be in a much better
condition than it was repOrteh to be; that
during the many aud hard rains that have
lately fallen there has beun little or no leak
age. That the recementins OF the tiles Oh the
| root, Tho replacing ui y lew states, and the
placing Vi y strip uf zinc Or copper around the
foot OF the dome will, iu the.r opinion, stop
all leakages.
i The, hnd that the plank covering that has
bEeu placed over the CATERS has becOne rot
ten and should be replaced by new planks.
They believe that two new Openlugs for the
water tU escape from the cutters ON each side
|, would be advantageous, MS it is evident that
Ill y heavy rainfall the cutters OverohOw be-
cause the water cannut escape with sufhcieL
rapiLity. Your committee also recommend
that the cOlnice and tire wells he recememtet
| where the cement has crunbled, and that
new colul lug OF tho eutre building would b,
advantageous.

! be reculOrell, and that the new fence ar0uns
the Jail yard be painted.

lowing resolution tor the consideration of th
