/ spectfully report as follows. to wit:
We unanimously feel grateful to Dis

kindness manifested towards us, and also
/ think him deserving OF announcement
and praise for the manly and impartial
manner in which he conducted and dis
posed of his duties before us.
We also feel thankful fer the prompt
/ attention and order kept by the tipstatfs
! In attendance.
We also desire to state that, with two
exceptions, we find the county buildings,
! corridors and offices in a clean and neat
condition, which speaks exceedingly ia
vOrable for the interest taken in the
same by our board of commissioners.
We find the condition of the Jail to be
most excellent in all OF its departments,
{ and the food faultless.
We suggest that the words Coroner 8
/ office" be removed from the transom
over one of the doors in the clerk of the
courts office for the reason that 1t is
misleading to the general public. We also
recommend that the register of wills Of
| flee be supplied with an electric switch,
and the walls receive a coat OF bright
/ paint. Furthermore, we suggest that
| the prothonotary's Office be supplied with
one roll-top desk, che fiat topdesk, eight
| chairs, electric light burners and linoleum
! put or the floor. We also suggest that
! the recorders Office be furnished with
three new writing desks, three of the old
ones repaired and cne of the rooms TO
have a general cleaning, especially the
walls. Respectfully submitted
