COUNTY CONVICTS.
The convicts under the management
of C. C. Lundy, 33 in number, we ind
in clean and healthy condition, well
fed and no complaints made oY them
as to treatment.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We recommend that the county
commissioners of roads and revenue
have a deep well sum- between the
court house and Jail for the benefit oil
1ail and general public. Some OF the
windows in the court house and also
of the Jail need repairs. We recon-
mend that the drainage on the west
side of the court house be so arranged
that the flow OF water run from the
court house instead of under 1T as at
present. In view of the fact that the
court house and it's furniture are ne
elected, and are not kept in a clean
condition, dust being allowed TO col
lect and remain on furHiture to It's ln'
Jury, and water closets continuing IN
a filthy condition, the fumes from the
same permeating every part OF the
building, the pure air rooms In base
ment not kept clean, emitting impure
air in the rooms instead of air that Is
pure and wholesome, it Is the sense OF
this body, after thorough investigation
that there is criminal neglect on the
part of some one whose business it is
to care for these matters.
We fud from the records that other
grand iuries have reported these facts
and still this neglect continues to the
injury of this building and to the de
