session of said board, would respect
fully report, that we have made the
necessary investigation regarding the
best and most practical and economi-
cal method of building and conducting
said work house, and in our opinion
the best and most practical plan is to
use for the present the building form
erly used as poor house op the So
called county farm, and thada portion
of said farm be set apart and used ia
connection with said building, the por-
| ton of the farm so used to consist of
not less than one III nor more than
forty T401 acres of said land. and that
the superintendent of said poor farm,
be employed as superintendent of said
work house; provided that suitable ar
rangements can be made with the pre-
sent superintendent of said poor farm,
to act as such in connection with his
present position. We would further
report hat we have consulted ting on.

circuit and that the above plan meets
with his approval. We have also laid
the matter before the State Board of

proposed plan. From our estimates,

above described building into proper
condition to be used for the present as

pense of paying for the maintenance
of the prisoners confined therein and
the cost of superintendent salary,
