ff8e geEefasa ffeseEtmeLts CT the
grand jury published in full in The
News yesterday merning deserve to
have the careful study Of the people
Of this acomhunity. The News de-
Sizes to compliment the members q
chat body for the thorough manner in
which they have placed before the
people the condition Of affairs in the
county. They have also made some
far reaching Recommendations which
are also entitled to serious considera-
ton.
The recommendations for instance
that the county issue bonds in the
sum OF $4,000. the proceeds to be
devoted to Improvement of the public
roads in the county is to our mind the
most important, the most sensible, en-
dorsement any grand jury has made
in Glynn county for many years. The
question of Improvement Of the pub
lie roads in Georgia is attracting the
attention Of county commissioners all
over the state. In fact, there is
general crusade in Georgia looking to
the best system Of public roads in the
south. and that the members OF the
G1vnn county grand jury have caught
this inspiration and have put it in
the shape of an endorsement is a
matter Of congraulation or the part
Of the people
The News suggests that the coanty
take ND this recomnen-
dalton at once and give the people oi
The county an opportunity to vote fo'
the issuance Of these bonds for the
purposes specified. 4 system 81 pub

The Recommendation calls for $500
per year TO be expended in that d'lee-
lon and The News believes &c w0ul5
be money well spent and is worthy Of
consideration By the commissioners.
The grand jury taking w the CUES
ion of a new city jail, also suggests

The recommendation for a eomglet@
survey OF the county IS also limeI
and is needed to enable the Count
ak officers to better ascertain tn
value Of lands, 10 be used in The dram
age of low lands and for agriculture
md other purposes.
That the grand jury believes 4
further improving our system OF eda
cation in Glynn county is evidenced
by the recommendation that the cit
Increase its appropriation 10 the pub
lie schools by at least $4,000 per year
The recommendation that the road
tax in Glynn county be reduced t.
200 per year is a rather serious prop

On the whole. the general presen,
ments are thorough and complete ana
indicate that TIE members Of th'
grand Jury have earned their per diem

of the people.
