To the Hon. 4. !. Barker. President .JIf,Igc
~ The Court Gf Quarter Sessions Of
Cambria county,
We, the members of the grand iuTv of
March sessions, 1897, respectfully report
that we, having examined the county
home, report follows: We have found
the house very clean and in as sanitary
condition, as the crowded condition would
permit. We indorSe the addition to
the almshOuSe and improvements to water
works, aS previously recommended by the
grand jury of December term. 1896
We recommend the renovation of the
rooms and offices of the court house. and
do respectfully submit that we find floors
In most cases i'll kept and uncleanly. We
woUlC recommend good steel shutters To
be provided for the windows in the pro-
thOnOtary' and register and recorders de-
partmentS for the protection of the docu-
mentS, etc.
We recommend bath tub to be placed in
the jail, the present accommodations being
inadequate. We strongly recommend the
repair and repointing of the walls of the
Jail, and especially the outer walls. which
are in state of decay and not sufficfen;
quart against escaping prisoners: and we
Iurther recommend that steps be taken to
supply additional and proper ventilation
for the main corridor of the prison. as. in
our opinion, the present supply of pure air
is insufficient
Otherwise we find this public building in
good condition, being cleanIy and well
kept. JOHN II. Evans Foreman
