That we have pursuant to our
required duties, investigated all bills
of indictment presented for our con-
sideration, and have passed upon
them according to their respective
merits. We have also examined the
public buildings and find that the
Office Of the Register and Recorder
should have new furniture, such as
chairs, &c. That the counter in the
Sheriff7s office should be moved and
new table put back Of it that his bust
ness might be transacted with more
privacy, and the floor of his Office be
covered with figured cork mating
That the water closet on first floor be
removed and the floor on first hall re-
paired. That on examining the county
prison, we find the floors in some of
the cells need repairing and spouting
on same should be put in repair at
once, as the drips are defacing the
walls. That the kitchen floor of the
same be covered with figured cork
mating. That blow off pipe be
attached to the boiler in said build
ing to carry off waste water outside

that these recommendations be
carried out.
