PRESENTMENTS OF
THE GRAND JURY
DIVORCE EVIL IS CONDEMNED
WHIPPING IN JAIL APPROVED
Recommend Separate Tax Assessors
For Each District In the
County

We, the Grand Jury chosen and sworn
for the second week of the November Term
of Cobb County Superior Court, beg to
make the following presentments and recon-
mendations:
The Committees appointed for the pur-
pose, have examined the books of the sew
eral County Officers, except those Of the
County Commissioners, who submitted their
report to the Grand Jury sitting last week.
We recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners continue the rule of having
all the county books and accounts Of county
officers thoroughly audited at least every
two years by competent parties. This is
due the officials as we'll as the county
After an examination, we think it only
necessary to state that we find the books of
each officer, Treasurer, Ordinary, Clerk,
Tax Receiver, Tax Collector. and County
School Commissioner, each and all kept in
legibe and business-like manner We
especially commend the plan of the County
Treasurer in making monthly balance, so
that at any time the condition of the countys
finances can be known. Also the complete
and systematic method of the County School
Commissioner fully justihes the commenda-
ton given him by the Audit Company.
In regard to the County Aims House,
we can report as did last weeks Grand
Jury We find the farm and buildings in
good condition.
The jail we find in good sanitary con-
ditiOn. Owing to the high price of pro-
visions, we recommend that the jaior be
paid fifty cents per day per prisoner.
We examined the Pension Roll and find
no one that we can say is not entitled to
the pension.
We have also taken up the Tax Digest
as recommended by the previous Jury, and
have given it all the time and attention we
could, but have not been able to make
complete and exhaustive examination and
return. 1t is the opinion OF the Jury that
each District should have Tax Assessors,
as it is the only fair way of getting at this
tax proposition. The Special Taxes we
have been able to go into more thoroughly,
with the result that we congratulate the Or
binary on the efficiency of his efforts. We
have called his attention to cases which we
think should be taken into notice.
We have examined the Justices of the
Peace books of the following Districts, and
find same in excellent condition.
