OF these, two are from the city court serv-
ing out sentences OF six months and the
other from the superior court serving out
sentence OF twelve months.
For unacy there are two conhGed, which,
we learn, will be sent to the asylum in few
days.
i From the mayors court serving out SEN
fences from five to thirty days, b. This
Imprisonment of parties convicted in the
MAYORS court In the common Jail without
labor we consider hardship, as well as con-
4 siderable expense TO the county, and would
suggest that 10 future the mayor in his
sentence would include imprisonment with
IA labor.
81 We End that the ration given is the regu>
lar United States army ration. and is ordi-
pariy sufficient, but we recommend in
cases Of United States court prisoners, as
81 well as prisoners sent for safe custody from
RI adjacent counties, that the sheriff provide
Z them with little variation in addition to
Il the regular ration. since those who are con-
& fined from our courts usually have friends
ri who furnish them delicacies occasionally.
Ell The public schools in tho city have been
examined, those In the country. owing to
lack Of opportunity, will have to be dele
q gated to the succeeding grand jury.
The academy was very clean and well
q ventilated In every department. We would
suggest to the board Of education that the
boys play ground be bricked, asphalted or
else watered regularly to alay the dust.
The Cathedral school was fairly clean,
q some Of the rooms badly ventilated and
very small for the number Of children
placed in them.
y We suggest to the board OF education that
the sanitary arrangements of this school
house be changed from their present Ioca-
ton and some other more sanitary arrange
ment be made in this particular.
The East Broad Street school Is clean and
well ventilated, more space ia
required for teachers and scholars, and as
there Is ample Dom for further buildings,
we suggest such improvements as soon as
they can be practically made.
The Barnard Street school was very
much crowded, and some of tho rooms
badly ventilated and entirely too small for
the classes present at the time of the visit.
The ST. Patrick school was very clean and
81 well ventilated, and a decided contrast to
that of the Cathedral school.
The board Of education is having erected
Fl On henry street a very commodious build
Ing for public school purposes, which, when
completed, will in a great measure pro-
q vide for the proper room for scholars and
thus relieve the crowding at the other
schools This building will be ready
probably for the fell term of the schools.
As to public buildings, the court house
Is In good order; it is to be regretted that G
slrlnkage of the building has caused some
Of the plastering to crack.
The jail Is in good order with the excep-
tlon OF the steam pipes, which leak at the
d JOINTS and can be easily repaired, and
further, some OF them need refastening TO
the walls.
4ue OReecnee. LOUISVILLE and Augusta
roads, as well as the cross roads in their
Vlcnities, and the Dean Forest road are in
good order.
Augustine bridge is in bad order and
needs attention. Work is progressing on
fpemaker's bridge. The Sabine Field
road is in bad condition and the attention
OF the road commissioners is especially
sailed to it.
ms White Bluff road is In fair condition,
'ae bitches need cleaning out and the middle
u Tue roadbed to be raised In places. The
srldges on this road need few new plank,
IN them.
nh The Montgomery road. leading from
"nlte Bluff road to Camp Walker. is in
eood condition. The Waters road and
Iosas dlverging from same are in fair con.
The Thunderbolt road is In good con.
Ut'ion; Wheaton street up TO the
sne toll-gate, that is from Bilbo canal, need:
working.
