ton of affairs, every one of which
we trust will receive the considera-
tion we feel is due, and further
that we hope the County Commits
sioners will carry into effect every
recommendation set forth.
On account of the enormous ex-
pcnse attached to the carrying Of
prisoners to and from other cOun-
ties and the unprotected condi-
ton of the records of the county.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners do proceed at once
to build substantial Court House
and Jail for said County.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners do proceed to take
the necessary steps to issue bonds,
payable in 500 thirty years and
bearing interest at 5 per cent, in
the sum of $3.50, OOO) Eighty
Thousand Dollars or so much
thereof as may be necessary for

ments to all bridges as well as all

at once to ha re IN election held

further rec Jmmcnd that said cleo
ton for issuance of bonds, be held

The Grand Jury at the last term
! of this court recommended the
adoption of the Alternative Road
Law as provided Sections 573 to
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-10-29

vided by section SIG of the Code
We recommend that the County
Commissioners as soon as practic-
able, establish and work a chain
gang ON the public roads of the
County.
We recommend that all county
officials, lessees, and contractors
give good and sufficient surety
bonds.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners employ an expert
auditor to audit all books of coun-
ty officers, once each year, and
make a report which shall be sub
mitted to the Grand Jury of the
Spring Term each year. We further
recommend that such auditor shall
be employed and that heshall sub
NIT a report to the next Spring
Term, through M. w. Garbutt
and L J. Clark, a committee here
by appointed to receive same.
We recommend that the Sheriff
keep a suitable book in which he is
required to list all property sold at
tax sales, giving description of
property sold, date of sale, name
Of purchaser and amount received
from such sale and increase Of re-
demption mark same on record,
giving the date and owner.
Further that he keep on file in his
office, a file of the official paper of
Ben Hill County, in which said
tax sales and other legal matters
are advertised.
We recommend that in criminal
cases where witnesses arc sum
mOned that such list be carefully
investigated to see if they live in
the county, and if any such wit
nesses are non residents to see that
they are important witnesses.
We have through a committee
Of this body examined the books
of the Justices Of the Peace and
NOtaries Public and Elk. Off. Just
ices of the Peace of the various dis
tricts of the county and find their
books correctly kept except the
matter of itemizing of costs. We
recommend that all costs be ite-
mized in proper place.
Resolved that we the grand jury
most heartily endorse the passage
of a bill known as "The Torrense
Land Title Registration, " and that
we recommend that our Senator
and representative use their
efforts to have such a bill passed at
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-10-29

5S3 OF the Code and the amended
acts thereto.
To properly carry said law into
effect, we recommend that the
County Commissioners appointed
q Superintendent of Public Roads
who shall be practical Civil En-
gineer and who shall be appointed
upon his qualifications and in ap-
pointing said superintendent, we
recommend that he be appoint
subject to the control of the Com
missioners and to be removed at
any time for any inefficiency and
that another superintendent be APP
pointed in his place. We recon-
mend that said superintendent I'M
der the direction of the County
Commissioners be required to lay
out all the public roads Of the
county and that the same be work
ed in compliance with said law.
That the Communication tax collect
ed for each district, together with
the proportional part of the prop
erty tax be applied exclusively to
the working of the roads in the
district in which the Communication
tax is paid, and that a separate
account be kept of the commuta-
ton tax paid by each person sub
ject to road duty in each district.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners have a full and COM
pletc alphabetical list, made as
soon sss practicable, of all persons
between the ages of twenty one
and fifty years, subject to road
duty and that blank summons in
duplicate form be furnished to the
superintendent in which the date
that each summons is issued shall
be entered at the time each person,
subject to road duty, is summoned
if he does not desire to work the
full four days, he pay Immediately
to the superintendent the commu-
tation tax of $500 We further
recommend that blank receipts in
duplicate form be furnished the
superintendent for use in receipt
f! ing for Communication tax. We re-
commend that all of the roads in
/ the county be classified as provid-
ed by section 512 of the Code. The
; first class reads to be (30) thirty
feet wide. second class (20) TWEEN
ty feet wide and third class (16)
sixteen feet wide, and that all
roads in the County be entered on
the public roads register as pro-
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-10-29

the next session of the Genera
| Assembly.
Resolved that we favor the pas
sage of an Act requiring all private
corporations doing business in the
state of Georgia to file on or before
the first day of January in each
year with the Ordinary Of said
county list of their officers and
stockholders, the amount incorpo-
rated for and the amount actually
paid in, and the assets and liabil-
titles, and the par value Of the
stock. Said report shall be sworn
to by the secretary and president
or public manager of said cOrpo-
ration. When said report is filed
the Ordinary shall record the same
in a book to be kept for that
purpose, which Shall be open for
general inspection. Resolved fur
Their that said bill fix a suitable
penalty and liability for not MAX
ing true and correct report as re-
quircd by said bill and to pay the
Ordinary a reasonable fee for his
services, and we invite grand jurics
in all our sister counties to make
recommendations so that we may
have these important laws incorpo-
rated in our statutes.
Whereas on account Of having
no Jail in the county, it is very ex-
pcnsiyc to carry prisoners to and
from the ,jails of other counties;
we recommend that the County
Commissioners hire suitable
guard, and contract for teams for
the purpose Of carrying prisoners
to and fr0m the different jaiIS. BY
doing this they can save the county
a great deal of expense. We rec
Ommend Furthermore that the coun-
-ty authorities contract with asuit-
able physician living at or near the
county Jail to which they send the
convicts to be confined and also
one in the city of Fitzgerald, Ga,
to render to the prisoners necessary
attention when called upon to do
so by the sheriff and that no other
physician except the ones contract.
ed with by the county shall be
called to See a prisoner except
when it is absolutely necessary.
We learn that some of the COM
mitment courts are issuing sub
pOenas to witnesses to appear in
their courts and then subpoenaing
them to the city court and charg-
ing for same We respectfully Il !
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-10-29

vite their attention to Section i
of the code which does not prOvis
for paying the Justice of the Pea
or Notary Public for issuing 81
poenas in any criminal case brOu
before them. We also call atte
ton of these officers to Section 81
of the code which requires the
when any person accused of
crime is brought before court
inquiry and is bound over or cor
mitted for trial, the officer holdin
the trial, shall at the time of hold
ing the preliminary trial give
subpoena to all the material wi
nesses examined for the state, Ga
appear and testify before the grand
jury. 1t is important that this
be carried out as there is no pro
vision of law to pay the officers Oh
the court for subponeaing witnesses
before the grand jury.
The Committee appointed to ex
anime and inspect the Tax Re-
ceivers books after careful in
spectiOn of the books make Their
report, which is approved by The
grand jury. The committee found
that a large part Of the lands and
city property is returned for much
less than its real value; and the1
have corr ected the properts
undervalued as far as they Wer
able to do in the limited time the
had, and assessed the same and re-
turned the assessment to the Taz
Receiver. Therefore, we, the Grand
Jury make the following recomen
dation: We most earnestly call

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 1.-THE leg
islative inquiry into the new state capitol
contracts and accounts was begun here to-
day. The investigation grew out of allie
cations made during the last state cam
paign that there was gross extravaganza,
overcharges and duplication of items in the
characterization and equipment of the build
ing. The capitol was built under the di-
rection of capitol building commission at
cost of $4,000,O00. 1t was furnished and
equipped by the board of public grounds

ed by w. H. Berry democrat, year ago.
Mr.. Berry. who probably will be one of the
most important witnesses. claims the over
charges in the furnishings exceed $4,000
600. Berry has refused to pay several bills
contracted by the board before he became a
member on the ground that they are ex-
orbitant and excessive.

Joseph H. Huston of Philadelphia was
architect of the capitol. which was built
by George F. Payne & Co. of Philadelphia.
The furnishings and fittings, except the
metallic fling cases, were furnished by
