ment, and each department against
the treasurer.
We respectfully urge the city conf
missioners to require each department
of the city to account to the city
treasurer daily for the money col
lected.
The Court House.
We find that the janitor employed
at the court house is employed BY
the month at monthly salary, and
that only part of his time is consum-
ed in the performance Of his ordinary
'uties. During his spare time, with
the assistance of county prisoners, he
has painted part of the interior Of
the court house, which has done much
to improve it. The only expense to
the county has been the cost of the
paint used. The janitor is anxious to
finish the work and to paint the hall
and offices in use in the annex, if
the county commissioners will furnish
the paint and authorize the use of
county prisoners. We urge the coun-
ty commissioners to buy whatever
paint and material necessary for this
work, and to authorize the use of
county prisoners necessary to assist
the janitor for his willingness to serve
the county and his desire to earn his
salary.
Public Roads.
The roads leading to the bridges
across Bayous Texar Chico and
Grande, are in bad condition. One
reason, we believe, why these roads
are not better kept up is that they
are in county commissioners districts
in which the county commissioners live
long distances. from the roads. For
instance, the road leading to Bayou
Texar IS in Commissioner Barrineau's
district, who lives some thirty or
thirty-five miles from the road; the
roads leading to Bayous Chico and
Grande are in Commissioner Davis
district, who lives fifteen or sixteen
miles from the road. On the other
hand Commissioner White lives with
in mile or two of the road leading
Tracey lives within two or three miles
Of the roads leading to Bayous Chico
and Grande, and these roads are in
territory adjacent to the districts of
Commissioners White and Tracey, re-
spectively. In view of the fact that
these roads are among the roads IN
the county most in use, and Comnais-
sioners White and Tracey have no
roads within their districts, and that
they are in easy access to these roads,
we would respectfully recommend
that the county commissioners re-dis-
trict the county SO that these roads
may be included within the districts
of Commissioners White and Tracey,
respectively. The authority to fix the
territorial limits of the county COM
missioners districts is, by the consti-
tuition of this state, vested in the
board of county commissioners.
Pool Rooms.
| 1t appears to be common practice
for gambling to go on in the pool
rooms in the city under the name
of Kelly pool, and for young boys TO
frequent these places. The attention
of the police commissioner and the
city marshal is called to these places.
and they are respectfully urged to
eliminate these abuses.
A Request.
We respectfully request the court
to direct the clerk to transmit certi-
fed copies of this presentment to the
county solicitor, sheriff, board of COM
missioners of the city of Pensacola,
city marshal, and board of count
commissioners of this county.
We wish, in conclusion, to thank
the court and it's officers for the
courtesy shown US during our DELHI
erations, and we hope that our labors
will not fail to bear fruit.
Respectfully submitted,
