District Attorney Jones was given q
vote Of commcndation for his careful
ana imnartial attention to duty. The
recommendation were as follows:
We suggest ana recommend that an
electric bell be placed i'm the district at,
turncyS office TO connect with the Grant
jury room, we also recommend that q
mirror, comb and brush be placed n
the grand jury room for the convenience
OF the grand jurors
\ CRITICISM.
We critcse the manner in which the
court house grounds are kept, viz, tn,
driveway from Linden street to Spruc,
street, which posses to ana through tht
court house; We find that grass ana weed,
are allowed To grow between the block,
OF the pavement and also that rubbish il
allowed to collect i'm the entrance To III,
basement of the court house on the Lin
den street side, Tho walks 10 and arouu,
the court house we find, are In badl!
settled condition. causing the water I,
stand on the walks and making it de
cidcdly annoying and unsafe to pcdcs
triaus.
The trees; We find they are ncgloCte,
by allowing dead limbs to remain and no
pruncd at the proper time,
We respectfully recommend that tn
above, as far as possibly can ne, be at
tended to at once and we also recon
mend that the dead trees be removed an,
young trees be placed in Their stead il
proper season: that the sidewalks b
properly graded with sufficient elevation
to carry off the water; that the space be
tween the walks ana curb be paved wit
brick; that the lawn be cut at least one
a week, ana oftcnCr If necessary; tina
the lawn will not be sprinkled while III
sun is shining.
Having Inspected the county Jail, W
fnd it neat and wholesome, except a pOT
ton Of the basement which is damp uw
ing to surface water finding it's wa
through tho walls; We recommend that
retaining wall be constructed at IN
south side of the east wing TO prevent tn
water from flowing on the basement foo
that the concrete floor I'm the basemen
be repaired; that the walls Of the ia
yard be gaincd, that the brick quite
pave and curb on New York street sid
of tho Jail yard be repaired ana reese
that a leak IN the valley on the north
west angle Of the roof he repaired; thl
a closet be provided for tho Clnau clothes
that a hand roller, weighing about q
