The Brunswick times-call., 1901-07-07
Resolutions.

1t being the opinion of this grand jury that
the expense OF maintaining the city court Of
Brunswick is too great for the benefits derived
therefron, we would recommend that our rep
resent alive in the legislature be requested TO
introduce bills abolishing said court and re-
establishing the county court of Glynn.
Deeming it to be to the interest of the county
and for the protection OF the various officers
we would recommend that the commissioners
OF roads and revenue be requested to employ
from time TO time an expert accountant, not a
resident OF this county, to examine and audit
the books and accounts Of all officers who have
any connection with the finances of the county,
and sworn report of such findings be filed
with the chairman OF commissioners of roads
and revenue.
That in behalf Of the people OF the county we
desire 10 express our appreciation Of the Board
OF County Commissioners Cor their zeal land
untiring efforts for the county's interests, and
especially ~ chairman, Mr.. c. ID, Ogg, for the
manner in which he guards the county's inter-
ests

effective system OF working the public roads in
this, the county of Glynn, should be inaugur-
ated;

1t having come to our knowledge that certain
places Of business particularly dealers in fresh
meats are, with the tacit assent Of the city
authorities, kept open on Sundays, and believ-
ing that the keepers of such places are not in
tentionally violating the law, we have deemed
it best in this manner to call the attention Of

that in future ignorance cannot be plead.
