IN AAAoBSNNAOlA VI viz ObNAk AANADO w.
would like to make the following re-
concentrations:
: The present Jail is inadequate; eel
room at best for only 80 prisoners.
We would highly recommend the con-
struction of another story to the pres
ent Jail.
Also that some provision be made to
keep women and insane patients separ-
ate from the rest of the prisoners.
We find that a Jail yard is an improve
ment much needed to keep outsiders
from approaching the Jail windows and
passing prohibited articles to prisoners.
Also that the chimnies are not work
ing properly and should be built higher
or hooded.
Also that the floors should be pro-
tected by linoleum or mats to ave
wear.
We find on inspecting the vault floors
in the County Recorders Office hat the
cement is crumbling and that the same
should be repaired Immediately.
We also recommend the erection of a
storeroom for the storing of county
property, such as ballot boxes and other
material which are affected by the
weather.
A safe should be put in the Sheriff's
office to keep his books and public mon
les safely.
We would also recommend the max
ing of a cabinet for plats in the Assess
or's office, as we find they deteriorate
by being kept loosely.
Also that a clock should be put in
each office.
Also that an urinal be put in the lava
tory, to save wasting Of water.
VIZ would heartily recommend that a
f time-lock safe be installed in the Treas
!, urer's office for the better protection
of his records and public moneys. We
f find the present safe an old style affair,
+ and totally inadequate for the uses de-
sired.
We would recommend that provision
| be made for enlarging the present Re-
corder's office, as we find an overcrowd-
ed condition of the working force en-
ployed there.
. We also recommend that the addition
! to the present Recorders office be made
+ in the nature of a two-story building.
The lower floor to be used by the Re-
corder and the upper floor to be used
as a jury room, as now, if the Grand
| Jury and Petty Jury should meet at one
and the same time one or the other of
them would have to retire from the
Court House.
. We would also recommend that a suit
{ able Jail be erected at Manhattan and
. that the same be constructed of stone
and made safe for the keeping of pris-
. oners, and should also be made fire.
> proof. We think this is badly needed.
A waste water pipe is needed on the
east side of the Court House to keeI
| water from damaging the foundation
II We have been investigating the city
{ Jail and find that conditions there are
in a deplorable state from a sanitary
point of view, as well as in the faulty
construction of the building.
In the matter of the hospital; w,
asked DR.. Cunningham to personally
n appear before the Grand Jury so that
better understanding may be had as t
the needs of this institution. On exam
e ination of the old Hounty Hospital We
V found the same in a wretched condition
O and totally unfit for the care of patients
At the present time there are three o.
g the patients being cared for by private
q institutions.
Q We find the new school house to be il
good condition.
We would rechmmend that the county
take immediate possession of the ole
q school house and make some use of tn,
q same.
9 That the Grand Jury recommend tina
the care of prisoners and the feeding
e and supplying of the same be left to thu
O Sheriff, also the care of all county
$ property and the purchasing of county
S supplies, stationery, printing, &c.
That action be taken at the mex
y meeting of the Board of County Com
m%issioners to let a contract for tn,
Q building of a level masonry wall il
n front of the Court house, so that tn,
+ grounds can be ~excavated and filled &C
. cording to this level.
