males, ); colored females, 5. The live
stock consisted oi ! horses, and one
mule, 20 head OF cattle, u head OF hogs
all i'll good condition. 1 he conditions
OF the buildings, sanitary and other
wise, was found to be good. The build
ings were we'll heated and comfortably
furnished The inmates OF the white
male department OF the Aims House
were not sufficiently clothed, having
had no new clothing ior over year
and their attire was i'll a ragged con-
ditiOn. a fire escape is needed on the
buildings.
1t has been suggested to us that a
public solicitation be extended to all
citizens that they send any surplus
reading matter, in the way of pcriodi-
Gals and other illustrated matter, to the
OvcrSecr OF the Aims House, ior the
entertainment Oi the inmates.
We visited the Jail in body and
found II inmates. white male CON
victs; black male convicts. aud 3 sick
dodgers, who are not crnvcts. We
found the prisoners we'll cared ior and
the sanitary condition fair. Some re-
pairs are badly needed on the premises
and we urgently recommend that the
Spouting be repaired at once, as it is in
very dclapidated condition, and the
drlppingS from the roof are injurng the
foundations and causing damp cellar,
which ii not corrected, will soon i'm
pair the health OF ali the occupants OF
the building. The wall enclosing the
yard needs some repairs in the way OF
repointing, and the stable connected
with the premises is badly in need of
repair, otherwise one oi the walls is
liable to fall apart.
We lind that the sanitary conditions
about the Court House are badly in
need OF attention, and aside from the
disgraccful accommodations for the
male attendance at Court there are alb
solutcly no accommodation for fc-
males. We would respectfully request
tl.at the Court bring this matter to the
attention OF the County Commission
crS. and urge that they take immediate
steps to better the existing conditions.
We desire to direct the attention OF
the County Commissioners to the dan
gcrous condition OF the railroad cross
ingS at Providence Mills, also at Gar
rctt'S Mills and ChildS. Their atten-
ton is further called to the dangerous
conditions which exist about the Perry.
vile Station. the steps leading to the
subway under the tracks being men
ace to the travelling public.
The conditions which exist about the
premises OF the ElktOn Fire Company
were brought to Our attention. and we
callc dthc same to the notice OF the
officials OF the Company, and received
from them assurances that they would
use their utmost cndeavorS tn bring
about bettermcnt of affairs on the
premises.
We recommend that all keepers Of
pool tables and owners OF stations who
have not taken out license, be notified
by the Clerk Of the Court.
We respectfully ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
AMOS r. BROWN, Foreman.
