done at the present time. The
papers and the files in the Office
are not protected in any way either
from loss by fire or loss by theft
and great damage and loss would
occur to the people who are hav-
ing estates pyobated as well as to
the County, if these papers, or any
of them, should be destroyed, or
stolen. We found the Probate
Judges Office too small for the
purpose for which it is used. We
are advised that at many times
there are large number of people
in this room in the trial of cases
and that the room is not sufficient
to accommodate them.
We examined the sheriff's Office
and found the books and accounts
OF the Sheriff we'll kept and every
thing in good order. The Sherif's
Office is too small for the work of
the Office, and. to do the work
properly and in the best interests of
the people Of the COUNT, there
should be two Offices where those
who are doing the work of the
office would not be interrupted or
their work delayed or examined by
those who visit the Office on busi-
ness. The vault in which the re-
cords of the SherifFs Office are
kept is not fire proof and is not
safe for keeping such records.
The safe in the Office is too small
to keep the records necessary to be
kept therein.
We examined the Assessors S
Office and found the books and re-
! cords of the Office neatly kept and
the assessment rolls complete, Of
derly, and arranged very system
atically. The Assessors Office is
too small for the work of the Office
and the vault in which the records
are kept is unsafe. The construct
, ion of the vault is defective in tha
wood is used in the shelves where
, iron should be used, and that fire
' originating in the interior of the
vault would destroy the books a
5 effectively as if originating from
the outside and destroying tn
e vault that way. The vault, con
structed as it is is adjoining a wood
: en- building renders it, in GU
2 opinion, unsafe. The vault, as
d is at the present time, is used bot
E by the Sheriff and the Assessor
: which, in Our judgement, is yer
e poor arrangement and unsafe 70
: the interests of the County.
O We examined the Office of tn
It School Superintendent and foun
l. the work we'll organized and care
a fully and neatly attended to. l
j. this Office there is one small safe
Is which to keep the records and it
is entirely insufficient in size to kee
n carefully the records as they are
q the present time. The books ar
n papers are kept on shelves IN tt
e. Office entirely without protectlo
e from fire or loss by theft. IL
2e office room is too small for the u
= of the County Superintendent.
20 The Treasurer's Office is kept o
is of the building, and, as far as
H. were capable of judging, the boo
it were kept in neat and order
IN manner and the interest OF Il
it County conserved in every partlc
lar.
he We examined the Jail and fou'
rk the iail too small for the number
.at inmates had therein at differe
ds times as shown by the recor'
he The Jail is not sufficiently lighte
~ particularly as regards the Gel
no There is no place where a fem'
no prisoner can be kept in an apa
,te ment separate flom the other. '
