PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The committee on Public Buildings
submitted the following report:
We examined the Court House and
find the same in good condition in
the various departments. On the in
side we find one or two Of the offices
need renovating. The Jail needs
some repairs. In the District Judges
chamber we find shortage of book
cases and would recommend the ad-
dition of some new sections.
We examined the school house and
find the same in fair condition.
While there are many improvements
needed in the inside, we will only call
the attention of the trustees to the
condition of the out-houses, which
we find in bad condition and should
be attended to Immediately.
After an examination of all the de-
partments of the County'Hospital we
find the same in good condition and
neatly and well kept. With the excep-
ton of new linoleum for two rooms
and new bath tub, we find every
thing 0. X. (Signed) d. E. Nos

COUNTY BOOKS
The Committee on County Books
submitted the following report:
We have examined the statement
of the Expert Accountant heretofore
appointed and employed by the Board
of County Commissioners and dated
December 31st, 1915, and as the said
statement and report showed that
very thorough examination of said
books and finances of said County
have been made, therefore we do not
think it necessary to make further
examination.
We find that on March 1st. 1916,
the Auditor and Treasurer balances
in the amount of $33, ,266.59 as cash
on hand, and this amount is reported
by the Board of County Commission
ers as correct.

several County officers are neatly
and we'll kept.

ant is hereto attached for your in
spection. (Signed) JOHN WHITE,

When AL Spekenhier OF Bogaloosa,
La. former postmaster of Richmond,
read the dispatches concerning the
munition explosion in New York, he
probably thought the news services
had made a mistake in locating the
source of the detonation. He prob
ably thought it was caused by the ar
rival of j. Bennett Gordon, a former
Ricmond newspaper man, at New Or
leans where he has accepted a posi-
tion on the New Orleans Item
Supposition of this nature would not
be accredited to Mr.. Spekenhier if it
had not been for the tone of letter
which Lawrence Handley has just re-

Gordon's visit to Bogaloosa.
