.mlS-STATEMENT MADE
BY JOHN f. COX

am called upon once more to de-
,end myself against Mr.. Cox's habit
OF trying to mislead the people by
only telling half the truth.

counts and unpaid bills, | meant just
exactly what | said. We have run
The city on a cash basis and have in
CARED no bills for running expenses
that have not been paid up. Below
! Will give from the auditors report
the two schedules which represent
the amount owing on current ac-
counts June 80, 1915, and which MI
Cox cites as evidence to disprove my
statement that the city has been
run on cash basis:

Junior boys and girls from nine to

IPRESENTMENTS OF
THE GRAND JURY

Ehe following are the present
ments made by the grand jury in

dicial circuit of the State of Flor
ida. in and for Polk county. fall
term, 1915:
To the Honorable F. A Whitney
and the Honorable O. X. Reeves.
Judges of Said Court:
VIC, the grand jury, empanelled a,
this term of court, having completed
our labors. be2 herewith to submit
our final report:
We have examined into and passed
upon total of fifty-two (52) Grim
inal cases as result of our investi-
cation. OF these cases we have re-
turned twenty-eight (2S) true bills,
! twenty-three (23) no bills, and have
referred one case to the county
court. We have completed investisa-
ton OF all matters brought to our at
teutlon.
+, We find that some of the justices
of the peace of the county bind over
cases to the grand jury without suf-
| fcient and thorough investigation
into their merits; that many cases
they have submitted are not accom-
panied with valuable papers which
are necessary to, and part of, the
evidence to come before this body.
Ne have INVESTIGATED the various
Offices of the county and find them
tic be in good shape and conducted
in an efficient manner. We wish to
especially commend the excellent
system installed by the present tax
collector, Hon. j. p. Murdaugh,
which enables any TAXPAYER to get
specific and definite information
within few minutes regarding any
matter which has to do with that Of
fee.
We have investigated the county
Jail and find it to be in sanitary
condition We wish to recommend
the installation of portable screens
in the county convict camps for the
Kitchens and dining rooms, thus pre-.
venting the possible spread of dis
ease carried by flies which exist in
great numbers about these places
: The ether sanitary conditions about
: the camps appear to be satisfactory
We wish to recommend to The
proper authorities that provision b,
made for the public in the way OF
toilet rooms in the court house, tn,
