recommend that the interior OF the jail
be AGAIN thoroughly cleaned, otter hav-
ing It's p~lastering scrapedoM, and paint-
ed white. This will CONFORM to the re-
quirement of the Sanitary Code and be-
sides presenting a neat appearance, will
be conducive to the health and comfort
Of the d. isoners. We find several leaks
in me building, due to defective sew
age pipes, and also leaks in the roof,
and recommend that the leaks receive
imalet.iate attention.
The Clerk of Coui IS Office we also
lind requires attention at once, there
being several serious lealss anu broken
cutters there. A p1ft Oh the ceiling in
Mr.. w. B. Roberts office has fallen out
and should be fixed without delay,
otherwise eiamaIe to important books
and records will ensue.
In conclusion we respectfully submit

along sanitary lines, we ATE Of the opin-
ion tnat there is no JUSTIFICATION lol' .he
