Below are the presentmeAs of the
grand jury:
The g,and jurors for the Novembe'
term, 1890, of Terrell Superior
court, make the following presen mems
We find the books OF the different
county officers correctly kept so ia" as
our limited time would enable us 20
examine them.
There is a cash balance on hand by the
treasurer Of S3,815.t5.
In many instances We find that
~ that property has been given in at 900
low a valuation, and recommend that in
future the tax receiver be more diligent
in having all property re nned at its
true value. We further recommend that
our senator and representative use their
best endeayors to have state law pass
ed for tax ass, sors in each county,
The public buildings are in good CON
dition and the Jail is neatly kept and
the prisone.s well cared for The jul
needs new roof and we recommend that
1t be covered with metal instead of shin
giles.
The poor farm is well managed and The
paupers well cared for. We recommend
that snuff, instead Of tobacco, be furnish
ed all paupers who desire it, We furth-
er recommend that Allen Gay be allowed
the usual amount prOportionate to other
paupers and that he be not required to
live on the farm.
We recommend that the jurors and
bailiffs be paid each 81 per day, the rid
ing bailtf 50 per day and the court house
porter 81 per day.
The roads and bridges in the county
are in fair order, but not up to the re-
quired standard We hope the road
commissioners will take warning and
keep the roads n good order.
We received the resignati ons of f B.
Bridges and VIM. Jennings as county
commissioners and elected S. K. Christie
and. VIM. Martin to fill the vacancies.
We are gratiied to know that our
county will build new court house,
which is very much needed, and we rec
ommend that the county commissioners
appropriate sufficient funds, to be paid
oul as recommended by the court house
commissioners, to have put in the Rut-
tan Smead system of heating, ventillat-
ing and dry closets, and that the county
commissioners notify the court house
commissioners of their action as early as
convenient SO that they may know how
to proceed We further recommend that
the county commissioners, in advertising
the lots for sale on the court house
square state that the purchasers, should
they desire it, pay one-third cash, one
third in Il months and one-third in "a
months, with per cent interest on de-
ferred payments, giving the purchaser
bond for title until the whole is paid.
We recommend that these present.
ments be published in the city papers.
In taking teaye of His Honor, J. II.
Query, and Solicitpr-General Griggs,
we extend thanks for courtesies shown
this body.
