State of Mississippi, Grenada county.
Hon. Geo. A. Mclean, Judge:
We, the grand jury of the county of
Grenada, duly empaneled, having fin
ished our business, beg leave to submit
this our final report. We have been in
session for period of ten days and
have examined 215 witnesses and have
returned into open court q indictments.
We have examined the county Jail and
found same in a sanitary condition and
neatly kept, and recommend that the
board OF supervisors place a good SUBJ
stantlal fence around same. We have
also examined the books of the sheriff
treasurer and county auditor and find
, the same neatly and correctly kept.
We find no irregularities in the dock
cts OF the justices of the peace but
suggest more rigid enforcement of
the law by them.
We have made an investieatio, of
the proceedings of the board OF super
viSors, and while they are to be CON-
mended for many things, we wish to
urge the absolute necessity of their
requiring road contractors to comply
with their contracts to the letter. this
is doubly important just now, due to
the fact that the present contracts are
nearing termination, and new contracts
can be let at saving of many thous-
ands OF dollars to taxpayers of the
county. Further, We would beg to sug-
gest that the board let their records
show the number of the section of the
law authorizing each and every allow
ance from public funds.
We wish to call the good citizens
attention to the fact that "bucket

"CITEEN" GIVES
THE FIGURES
That Would Tend to Prove
Mlsmanagement at the
Grenada Water and
Light Plant.

Editor Sentinel: l:-Your remarks in
last weeks paper in regard to the "Wat.
er and Light Plant" are very timely
and thorough discussion of this mat
ter. at this time may serve to better
conditions in regard to the manage
ment of it.
II this plant belongd to private cor
poration. the first step they would
take, would be to appoint a manager
for it, and to hold him strictly account
able for every thing in connection with
it.
II 1t was not on a paying basis, the
f1rst thing he would do would be to find
out what departments were being run
at loss, and why. The next stem
would be either to advance rates or tn
stop the leaks and losses in these de-
parments. Why can't the city do the
same thing?
There are enough leaks and losses in
our plant here which if stopped would
pay handsome profit on the business.
For instance the annual report of the
city shows $1993. II expended for coal
for the year. This coal costs the citv
aqout 5000 per ton and would represent
something over 1000 tons of coal con-
sumed during the year. Dividing this
coal equally between pumping water
and generating current would give each
department 1000 tons for the year. A
compound engine such as we have for
generating current, requires 1-2 6 of
coal per H. P. per hour. 65 H for
"A hours per day would equire 198S51Os
o. 999 tons for 365 days 65 HIP. S eqr al
to AZ l-2 K w. and at so. 10 per K. w.
would amount to s1O6.4O per day or
S38, 836. % per year.
Taking the water end of the plant in
the same manner it would require 80 H.
T. to operate one of the 75O gallon
pumps. This pump if operated "a hours
per day it would require, at 7s of coal
per hour, 504G lbs of coal per day or
9l9 tons per year and would pump
100000 gallons per day, which at $50
per M would be 5000. 90 per day or s73,
900, 90 for the year.
The total collections for light and
water would to $111,8 $500 while the
annual report only shows collections of
S1S,04l.74 or Offence of over $50, 900.
Now, are we pumping this water and
generating this amount of current and
not getting paid for it, or are we get
the results we should at the plant, The
tact OF che matter is that the manage
ment of this plant is divided and there
is no one person responsible for con-
dltlons as they are and no one that can
or will assume the responsibility of
having these things corrected. Until
such times as the management is con-
centrated, that one man is responsible
for every thing in connection with the
plant, conditions will be but little bet
ter than they are the present time.
This has been demonstrated time and
time again in similar plants. 1t would
be very easy matter for the board to
keep up with one man management,
oy requiring detailed reports from him
weekly or as often as necess-
ary, but as long as he is giving salts
faction and making good, they should
Keep hands off and let him have full

after reas. Enable length of time, you
lave got the wrong man and should get
mi Ether as soon as possible.
