Informed by him that his special mes

character of the revision to be had.
President Taft said he should reiter.

You will also notice we have spent

PUBLIC ROADS.
As to public roads (Which includes

guards, etc, labor, provisions. clothing
and supplies for convicts, live stock and
equipment, horse shoeing and all re.

We have worked the conyicts about
seven months-working them grading,
cutting down and going around hills +:
or, in other words doing permane
road work in different parts of the
county.
We believe fifty convicts can be
worked at an average of rs cents apiece
per day, including all expenses, or a
hundred convicts at 80 cents a day, and
that you can get one-fourth or one
third more work out OF convicts than
you can hired labor. Therefore, truly
hope Cobb county will never abandon

1910. Your jury heard this with re-
greet, and in behalf OF the people OF
the county desire to thank Mr.. North
cult for the great service he has
rendered while on the Board. We
would express also due appreciation
for the service being given by the
several commissioners for. as is seen,
the monetary remuneration is not
equal to the value of services rendered.
Later in the week the Ordinary
having shown the resignation of Mr..
, Northcutt duly accepted by his ex.
excellency, the Governor, and his
honor the Judge, having instructed
us that the duty OF electing a success
sor to the vacancy rested upon us, we
set time and in due order chose Mr.
James 7. Anderson, who lives in
Marietta, and consider our county
fortunate in securing his services.
From the Commissioners report
and our knowledge OF the work done
by the convicts on the roads, we COM
mend che system of working our con-
victs on the roads of the county as al
ready success, with the prospect that
the system will prove more and more
satisfactory to the county as a whole.
We recommend that the proper au-
thority call an election to authorize
the issue of bonds to build good per-
manent roads and bridges throughout
the county.
1t having been reported to this
body that one James Blankenship is
proving to be nuisance around the
city council chamber and other Offices
at the courthouse, we recommend that
the Board of County Commissioners
send him back to the almshouse and
arrange to keep him there.
We recommend D. X. Lyle for No
tary Public for Howell's District.
Partly by having the officers come
before our body as a whole and partly
through our committees, we have
looked into the public records and
county's affairs as thoroughly as our
time would allow, and make reports
and recommendation as follows:
TAX RECEIVER.
We find the Tax Receivers books
models OF neatness and commend him
for his diligence in discharging his
duty in requiring the people to swear
to the correctness OF their returns. and
urge him to continue to call the peo-
plies attention TO giving in their prop
erty at reasonable values
The question Of our body going over
the digest and raising the values for
the receivers guidance next year,
would require much time. We find,
however, upon slight investigation
that there are goodly number Of tar
payers IN the county who are giving

found the Jail in the usual reasonably
clean, satisfactory condition. There
are some portions of the wood and also
some metal which should be repainted
and we recommend that this be done.
AS to the courthouse we cannot make
SO good report. We find dirt and
trash in the corners of the rooms and
halls. The water closet in the base
ment continues to be very unsanitary.
The stairway leading to the basement
is very dark. We agree with the
recommendation Of the Grand Jury of
last March that this stairway should
be lighted and that the wooden floor
in the closet should be taken up and
cement floor be put down instead.
Our committee who visited the aims
house and farm appeared we'll pleased
with the conditions they found there,
and commended the Superintendent.
They reported twelve inmates; five
white and seven colored; all we'll cared
for.
They report equipment, etc., as fol-
lows: mules, 8 mich COWS, year
lings, pork hogs, fine SOW, two
horse wagon, l one-horse wagon,
blacksmith tools and farming
tools plenty to run the farm,
400 bushels corn, $3.50 bundles fodder,
8 tons OF hay, 521S bushels wheat, so
bushels Of peas, rs bushels Irish pota-
toes, 521 bushels sweet potatoes, and
VI gallons syrup. Ten acres of land
are sowed in wheat and five in oats.
The buildings are In good order and
the farm in fine condition.
The books of the Sheriff's office were
examined and found that he has COL
lected on tax fifas, the amount of
$3, 264.l6, for which he holds Tax
Collectors receipts. Our committee
by making the calculations for Jail
inmates as shown by his books,
found that the Jail fees amount to
81, OS4.7O, exclusive OF expenses in
Cured in going off after prisoners.
We recommend that the sheriff in
each case, as the prisoner is released
from the Jail, enter the jail fees on his
record where there is blank for this
purpose.
A number of Justice OF the Peace
dockets were examined and passed as
satisfactory.
The records necessary to the Ordina-
rvs office are found to be kept in a
very neat manner and are believed to
be correct. We recommend that a new
book be provided for the list OF Con-
federate pensioners, but that the old
book be carefully preserved for
reference.
