GRAND JURY REPORT.
The Grand Jury reports that they have
acted upon one bill of ofindictment, which
was found true bill. They beg leave
further to report: That we have visited
and inspected the County buildings and
find that they are generally in good re-
pair, the jail being in fair condition and
the prisoners comfortably cared for. We
also find the Court House and the differ
ent offices in good condition. The records
neatly and correctly kept ard everything
clean and in good order. We also find
the County Home in good condition, the
inmates contented and comfortably cared
for, the home and rooms neat and clean
and the house in good repair and farm
under good state of cultivation. We
would recommend however that the
creamery be suitably heated for winter
purposes and that the hay barn be re-
paired by new stills, and roof and stone
pillars repaired.
