1t has come to the knowledge of this Grand

furnishes food to the county prisoners, does
not give them what he should; on many
occasions the food being stale and unoook-
ed. The Grand Jury recommend that the
requirements of theeoEtract be enforced, so
as to ensure the county prisoners clean,
wholesome and substantial food. The

made an examination Of the affairs of the
county Offices, the present Grand Jury did
not deem it necessary to make any further
examination n of the same.

We also examined into the condition of
the finances Of the County under the
management of the present County Treas
urer, 1. S. Ingalls,, and find his books plainly
kept and well directed, and show that since
his last settlement with the Board of Super

sum of Sl094. OF and has disbursed g704.0l,
showing cash on hand to the amount of
$4,000, which was counted in our presence

Your committee recommend that suita

Supervisors for the use of the County
Treasurer, as that officer now has no proper
place to keep the County funds and papers
in, the present safe being worthless; and |
further recommend that the total cost of
said .afe do not exceed the amount of $500. |
