plete cash hook be supplied TIE Tax
Collector-One ruled to conform with
the recent tax law. We find all .hc
books we'll kept.
The Tax Collector has called our
attention to the Fact that great many
subject to the special taxes have rot
paid for 1911. We presume that
great many of these delilquents are
not aware of these taxes and in view
of this. we suggest that the Tax Col
lector he supplied with a bailiff so
that personal service may be had on
all these special tax delinquen's AID
that a request be made that same he
paid at once.
We would also suggest that a bail
iff be supplied by the County Com
sioners to assist the Tax Collector for
thirty days after beginning of each
year so that personal service can be
had on all firms, corporations and in
dividuals subject to the special state
and county taxes, and request that
they register with the ordinary at once
and pay their taxes, and that a list
of all delinquents shall be supplied
by Tax Collector to the May grand
| jury for action
We recommend that the Receiver
of Tax Returns be supplied with an
other file for holding tax return
| sheets.
We have examined the books of the
various justices of the peace and have
found all of them to be well kept We
received letter from j. J. Smith, 9th
district. Brookman, Ga, advising that
he has not as yet organized his court.
Mr.. Smith was recently appointed. I.
J. Lang, justice of the 1899 district,
Bladen, Ga, has not sent in his books.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We have made an inspection of the
county Jail and found it in good con-
dition, clean and sanitary We find
that former grand jury upon inspec-
ton found that the specifications for
the class of material to be used in the
construction of lower cells was not
complied with by the builders. The
matter was called to the attention of
the County Commissioners and they
have failed to take steps to project
the county's interest
We find that the Courthouse needs
some repairs, as there are several
bad leaks and these ought to be stop
ped at once, also some breaks in the
thing of the lower floor and some of
the plumbing Is out of order and
should have proper attention. The
High School building is in good con
dition except one small leak in water
pine that should be stopped at ono
The Grammar School building is in
/ bad condition and it needs a new roof
and the lower floor should be renewed
as the decayed flooring and the tim
Der make the building very unsani-
tary.
The Purvis School building is in
good condition, tut should be repaint-
ed at once to protect the outside wood
work. A proper fence should be built
around this school
The Risley School building needs
some repairs to the roof but we find
a good many window lights broken out
which should be replaced before the
fall term hegins.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners should beautify the
Courthouse Square at once. or, at
least, keep same clean, presentable.
and in decent condition.
FISH AND GAME. ,,
we find the fish and game con-
ditions to be about the same as report-
ed on last two sessions of the grand
jury. These laws are doubtless In our
! minds being broken every day. Our
oysters and fish are not what they
ought to be. Our game is fast dis.
appearing with no distinct laws we
are helpless. We have no power,
therefore, We especially recommend
and request our representative, Hon.
j.. A. Butts, to endeavor to so amend
the law, or have such measures passed
as Will give the County Commission
ers the authority to hire and pay a
man a salary to see that these laws
are enforced.
We recommend the appointment OF
deputy game wardens in the militia
districts, as follows:
