Greenville, Miss, Dec. g 1904
R. V, Garner, Esq, Foreman Grand
Jury:
Dear Sir-As a committee apoint-
ed by you to perform certain du-
ties, we beg to report as follows:
We have examined the books OF
the sheriffs Office and found them
apparently well kept. We have veri-
fled the balance as called for by his
cash book, with the balances due him
by the several banks in which he
keeps his accounts and find the mon
eys as claimed by him to be to his
credit with the several banks.
We have examined the treasurer of
the Levee Board books and find ther'
a model of neatness and the balances
as called for by his cash book on de
posit in bank. We especially CON-
mend to your consideration the neat
and business-like manner in which
these books are kept.
We f;ve found the county srea>-
rIer'o hooks also well kept and bal
anccS as per his cash book on deposit
in bank. Mr.. Kellner's books ar"
worthy cf especial commentator,
We have examined the vouchers
in the Chancery clerk,s Office and tind
the same to be correct and the books
we'll kept
We have examined the Circuit
clerks books and find the n'rncys
collected by him duly accounted for
with the sheriff.
We have examined the Cowan Ho-
tel and find they have complied with
the laws as regards to fire escapes,
except there are no ropes in the
rooms. There are, however, iron fire
escapes at the end of the halls and
each floor we find hose attached to
fire plugs all of which seemed to be
in good order. We did not test these
hose however, but they are there.
We find no fire escapes at the
Greenvlle Inn, but there are three
stairwaps.
We would suggest that Mrs. Viii
son be notified of the requirements OF
the law in regard to ropes in the
rooms of the third story.
The Opera House has endeavored
to comply with the law as regards
to exits and fire escapes which seem
to be all the law requires. They
have recently enlarged the main en-
trance and have added additional fire
exits.
We have examined the dockets OF
M. Gensburger, William Hokin, 1.
w. Crouch and Sam Wilmington and
find them correct as far as fines re-
ported are concerned and we find
the cost bills also reported itemlzed
in each case as required by law
We have examined the dockets OF
]. S. Vaughn, H. B. Robinson. John
Carter and D. w. Lee and find same
apparently correct as to the amount
of fines collected, but all cost bills are
not itemized as required by law and
in some instances no costs are shown
The rero-t of J. J JOHNSON, J. +"
is on file in Chancery clerks otflce
but his docket has not been sent IN
for examination,
We find the docket of S. B. Weems
correct and well kept, except as to
one fine of $40 in case No 70 on his
docket, which was apparently over
