careful examination OF the following
buildings and beg leave to submit the fol-

We find the Courtroom Of the County
Courthouse in very bad condition. The
ceiling needs plastering and the side walls
kalsomining. We also urgently recon-
mend the kalsomining Of all the offices in
the Courthouse, Is they each and all look
dirty and dingy. We also recommend the
mating OF the floor Of the District Attor-
ney and Superintendent OF Schools Office.
The County Hospital is In fair condi-
ton. with the exception that some more
windows should be put In to admit a fur
Their supply Of light and air. The instisu-
ton itself is well conducted.
The county schoolhouse in every respect
ia excsllently kept and in fine condition.
The Rescue Hose C~ompany's house
needs repairs on the south side of the
building, where the foundation has been
damaged by water running from adjacent
Chinese houses; also. several lights should
be put in the windows.
The Mob Hill h~osehouse we find in very
good condition.
We find the outer walls OF the Hooks

Of decay; in fact, the south and front walls
are dangerous to pedestrians, being liable
