The committee on public property
presented the following report, which
was read and adopted.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Grant County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:-We, your committee on
public property, beg leave to report:
We have examined the report of the
committee on painting and decorating
of the interior of the Court House and
find that the same was correct in all
respects and recommend that the same
be adopted.
We have examined the report of the
Chairman and Clerk on all matters re-
ferred to in their report and we find
that the same is correct in all respects
and recommend it's adoption.
We visited the County Jail and sher-
ifs residence, and upon thorough in
Spection of the same we find that the
roof of the SheriffS residence is in a
leaky condition and will have to be
substituted by a new roof. We find
that the porch on the east side of the
sheriffs residence is practically rotted
away and a new porch should be con-
structed in it's place. We therefore
recommend that a new asbestos roof be
placed upon the residence and that a
new porch on the east side of the sher-
ifs residence be built, which porch
will be twenty-six (26) feet long,
twelve (12) feet wide and asbestos
roof, and we estimate the cost of the
same at One Thousand ($1,00O.0O) dol
lars including the asbestos roof on
the residence We also recommend
that the hall way on the second floor
of the sheriffs residence be repapered
and the southeast room on the first
floor be also repapered and both of
said rooms be painted And we also
recommend linOleum covering for two
floors in the Jail residence be purchas-
ed and placed, all at an estimated cost
of Seventy-f1ve ($75.00) Dollars.
We recommend that the Clerk of the
Court properly index all declarations
of intentions, petitions for naturaliza-
ton and certificates of naturalization
from June 20, 1906 to date, at an esti-
mated cost of Twenty-Five ($25) dol
Lars
We recommend that there be ap-
propriated the sum of One hundred
(S100.00) Dollars for the purpose of
properly repairing and installing the
telephone system in the Court House
and that a contract be entered into by
the Chairman and Clerk of the Board
so that the said system will be placed
in as good condition as it originally
when first installed and be MAIN
tanned in good condition by the COM
pany afterwards.
We find that the adding machine
which has been in the Court House for
a good many years is out of commits
sion and that it is absolutely neceS-
sary that a new machine be purchased.
We estimate the cost of a new ma
and we recommend that the Clerk of
the Board purchase one as cheaply as
possible and make such exchange with
the old one as he can.
We recommend that Fred Garner, the
present janitOr of the Court House
and Court House grounds, be reap
pointed as such janitor for the period
of one year from January LIST, 1914, at
a salary of seven hundred and eighty
($IS0.0O) dollars, the same to be paid
to him in monthly inStallmentS as other
county officers are paid. We recon-
mc nd that the work of said janitor be
under the supervision of the Chairman
and Clerk of this board, and should be
not give proper satisfaction to them
they shall have the right at any time
to discharge him and employ such
other person or persons as they deem
b, st.
we recommend that the Chairman
and Clerk enter into the usual contract
with the Farmers Telephone Company
for the service throughout the several
offices in the Court House for the sum
of Fifty ($50.00) Dollars per annum
and that they also enter into a contract
with the Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany for service throughout the sew
eraI offices at a cost not to exceed
Thirty ($30.00) Dollars, and also enter
into contract with the Farmers Tele
phone Company for service at the
sh"riffs residence at cost not to eX-
ceed Eighteen ($1S.00) Dollars per an
mum, all of the said sums to be paid in
monthly installments as heretofore.
We recommend that all of the
recommendations herein named for
which work or contract is to be made
or let, shall be under the supervision
and direction of the Chairman and
Clerk of this Board.
We have carefully read over the re-
port of Henry Kleinhammer to the
