SUPERIOR COURT ADJ0URNs
Grand Jury Eend sr Their Report Routine
Becommen iations Made.

The Superior Court, Judge Bryan pre-
siding, finished up its docket yesterday
and adjourned. The grand jury rendered
the following report:
I'VE, the grand jury, very respectfully
submit the following report as to the
condition, both of the court house and
the Jail and county home. We found
the Jail clean and comfortable and
prisoners seemingly we'll cared for. The
kitchen in good shape, but much crowd
cd for want of room. In the court house
we found some repairs needed in plas
tering, both in hallway and in the
sheriff's office We would recommend
more floor for this office. In the clerk S
office we found the office in good shape.
We recommend for this office more bill
cases for both greater conveniences and
for better protection of valuable papers.
I'm the treasurer's office we found all
in best order, but new carpet is sadly
needed and we recommend a carpet be
supplied this office.
I'm the register of deeds office We
found all in an attractive and very con-
Venient arrangement and to make il
more so we recommend that an index be
made of real estate. (Real estate index.
From report of committee appointed
to inspect county home, etc, we find that
the inmates are kept clearly and COM
Portable and rooms in good shape, stock.
tools. etc, in good condition and plenty
of corn and dry feed to last until another
crop.
'The convicts appear to be in good
condition and kept usefully employed.
For economy We do earnestly recommend
that thirty heaters be purchased for use
at the home instead of the large fire
places now used, owing to the growing
scarcity of wood, it being estimated that
there is not more than enough wood to
last more than three years at present
rate of consumption. At this time the
home is using wood at rate of two (20O)
hundred cords per month 1t is estimated
that with use of these heaters there
would be not less than fifty 600 per cent.
