| This afternoon in the district cour
Foreman Andrew Maute of the Orms
by County grand jury presented {
Ipartial report of the inuusitOria; bod,
and further time was granted for the
other committees to complete theil
labors, and their reports will be rea.
dy to present to the court right after
the first of the year.
! The committee composed of P
Henrichs, G. w. Taeile and James
Larson reported on the county roads
, and bridges. They approved of the
work performed by the commission
ers on the Lakeview and Empire
roads and state that while the cost is
highest grade and will last long
after the cost is forgotten"
This committee recommends re
pairing the Kings Canyon road, it
having been washed out considerable
by the recent storms. Clear Creek
road is in good condition but recon-
mends cleaning out willows in several
places and minor repairs. In regard
to bridges recommended several i'm
provements to the McTarnahan
bridge such as raising 1t above the
height of the flood waters and replac
ing good lumber where second growth
timber has been used. Lloyd's bridge
was 1ound to be in poor condition
and the committee recommends tlaA
it be abandoned as it is unsafe ani
not enough traffic over it to warrant
the necessary repairs.
Brunswick bridge was found to be
in excellent condition but recon-
mends that cables be used TO brace
the bridge which may mean the saw
ing of the structure should serious
floods come in the spring of the year.
sign boards be placed in several
places for the guidance of the trav-
ellers through this city.
The committee on the Poor Farm
reported eight men and two women
al that place. An investigation
showed the place to be in perfect
in every respect, and the
pays great compliment
to John McGiilis and wife for the
manner in which that branch of the
government is maintained and
also TO the commissioners for their
selection of these people to the pO-
sitiOn. In fact the committee found
nothing requiring the least censure
but approve in every way of the
of the home for Orms-
by's poor. This committee was COM
posed of Joseph Castle, H. A. Wood
and Ira l.. Winters

the capitol to give them the needed

Tie public schools were found to

The arrangement of the heating ami

ee and they ask that the same be
emedied.
AS regards the county building the /
committee states that it is hardly !
possible to repair the building for /
what it is worth Even under these |
conditions the committee recon-
nends that the interior at least be
tilted up to look like something that
lew furniture be installed and that !
