Our committee reports that both
these officers display great efficien-
cy in the performance of their du-
ties.
The voluminous accounts of the
Supervisors Office prevented full
investigation of this officers books.
But the committee reports that
their investigation extended far
enough to satisfy them that their
books were in proper shape.
The Sheriff's office, as usual, is In
good shape. The condition of the
Jail. and of the Court House, was
reported on at the March term Of
Court.
The books and papers of the
Clerk of Courts office are as neatly
kept as is possible in the present
condition of the office. Several
Grand Juries, previous to the pres
ent, have recommended the pur-
chase of safe for the Clerks of
fee. This has not been done, and
we again recommend, and urge,
that this matter have immediate
attention and that safe be placed
in this office as early as possible.
The nature of the papers filed from
time to time in the Clerks office
are ftoo great value to be exposed
to the possibility of loss by theft or
fire.
