Puryis School: Bases to columns in

paired. The front and back entrance
doors should be hung to swing out

Glynn Academy: Boys toilet needs

Risley School Building: Toilets need
repairing. The roof is i'm bad condi-

II is matter of regret to this grand
jury that reference should have to
be again made to the rehanging of
the doors at these school buildings so
that they will swing outward, and not
inward as at present. AS concerns
this recommendation, 1t is a matter
of small expense TO the county, but in
the case of fire, or disaster. and pos
sible loss Of innocent and young lives
it would be source of great shame
and humiliation to the community,
we're the blame chargeabie to the non
action on this and previous recon-
mendations of the grand jury.
Public Works and convTcts.
We have duly inspected the county
farm. We find fourteen convicts there,
apparently in good health. Quarters
are in good condition. There are about
one hundred and forty u40) acres of
land under cultivation. The crops
seem to be in excellent condition
There is a sufficiency of foodstuffs of
all kinds on hand to last until another
harvest. We find on the farm the fol-
lowing live stock: four (4) mules, one
% horse, seventy-seven CID head of
hogs of various sizes. This live stock
seems to be all in good condition. The
farming implements. tools, and mchin-
cry at the farm is in good condition,
and well cared for.
We also inspected the road gang
now working near Thalman. There
are forty-nine (49) convicts in this
road gang, all reported to us in good
health except two CD who are ill with
chills and fever. We find the quarters
provided for this road gang 10 be COM
Portable and ample. Used in connec-
ton with this road gang are five (5)
mules. and one % horse, together
with road working machinery. includ-
ing one new Federal truck, all of
which we find to be in good condition.
We think the county is to be con-
graduated in having most efficient
men in charge of the convicts and the
farm, and We commend these men for
the good work they are doing.
Game and Fish.
The condition of the county as re-
CARDS game and fish is much better
now than in previous years. The pres
ent laws of the state of Georgia for
the protection of game and fish seem
to be adequate in the main, though
there are certain weaknesses which
1t is confidently supposed the author
tiles will correct as brought to their
attention. We are informed that there
has been little or no violation of the
laws as relating to game and fish.
We find that game generally has
greatly increased under the present
protection of the laws. with the excep-
ton however of quail, which, due to
an extremely wet breeding season,
have not shown any increase.
The shrimp industry seems to be
growing, and we understand has prov.
en- profitable to the factories and fish
ermen. This industry gives employ
ment, in season, 20 several hundred OF
our population.
We particularly commend the faith
IA! performers OF the duties OF the
office of the present game warden.
Roads.
Something like seventy.five G75l
miles of Glynn county roads have been
traversed and inspected, this being
practically all of the mainland high
ways of the county. We find them,
with certain small exceptions, to be
in fine condition.
We find the shell surfaced road lead.
ing from Brunswick to the G. c. & p,
Auto Transfer tDarien Trestle). to be
in splendid condition with the excep-
ton of three-fifths (S-5's) of a mile
near Freedman's Rest. which is still
unshelled, and in bad condition. This
short gap is of very deep sand un.
slightly. and is considered dangerous
TO automobiles, especially to cars when
approaching another and requiring
turning out to pass each other. We
recommend, earnestly and urgently
that the county commissioners have
this gap shell'surfaced just as soon
AS il is expediently possible for them
to do so.
The Everett City road from Ever
ett's store to Fraxier's Crossing, about
two miles, is OF heavy sand. and we
recommend that this stretch be re.
