We find I hogs to kill this fall, 9 shoats
a months old. 3 cows, giving milk, with
calves, 3 yearlings, II years old, 2 farm
mules, all in good condition.
There is blacksmith shop sufficient to
do farm work, one two.horse wagon and
gear and pillow stock for another year.
We fnd the lot buildings in bad condition
and recommend that new barn be built.
There is ebout thousand feet OF lumber
fer yard and garden fence.
We find the Court House needing con-
siderable repairs. The roof is in bad con-
dition and will have to be replaced with
new one. The cutters and valleys are
all rusted out, and the cornices and caves
rotten and needing to be replaced with
new ones.
Seine OF the floors need repairing, and
the overhead plastering in court room
should be taken off ard new ceiling put on,
the walls need overhauling, ETC., all OF
which would cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
We believe the vaults to be unsafe and in
adequate to the necessary demands for
safety room and convenience. We think
the Court House too small, and inadequate
to the demands of the county. not q suffi,
cheney OF safety room, nor convenience.
We find that the public privy in the
back yard cannot be kept clean. and that
something should be done 80 that the
privy ard Jail filth could be removed and
they kept clean
Upon conclusion of the whole, we be-
lieVe that an addition OF probably so
feet should be built 70 the east end of the
present court house building, thereby
making more room and convenience for
the courts, the officers and the public;
that the vaults should be made new and
enlarged, new roof put on building, and
the whole building put in neat and sub
stantial condition, about in accordance

Sheriff's books are neatly and correctly
kept, We find some little repairs needed
IN the Jail and recommend that they be
attended to at once. The guttering
should be changed SO as to discharge the
water on.:he east side. The plasterinp
needs repairing very much, and a-leak in
