GRAND JURY MAKE
THEIR PRESENTMENTS
AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTY ARE
REVIEWED, AND INTERESTING
INFORMATION is GIVEN.

To the honorable Superior Court of
Terrell county, Georgia:
We, the grand jurors drawn and
sworn for the November term of SUI
perior court of Terrell county, Ga,
1919, submit the following general
presentmentS:
We have carefully gone into the
duties that the law makes incumbent
upon this body, and we find as fol
lows:
Through committees appointed
from this body we have examined the
books of the county officers and make
the following reports:
Clerk of Superior Court Books.
We diligently looked over these
books and find them neatly kept, and
in accordance with law, and also find
that the clerk is now installing a new
system which will be materially help
full in getting records quickly on all
important matters in his department,
and commend his work to your body.
Tax Receiver and Collectors Books.
We have carefully gone over these
books and find them neatly kept, in
accordance with law. We find the tax
digest shows $5,042,571 returned as
advelorum tax, which is $70,719.OO
increase over last year. This, with
special tax, will bring the county in
approximately $4,000 in taxes for
this year.
Ordinary's Books.
These books are neatly kept from
every standpoint, and we find them
correct, in accordance with the re-
uuirements of law. We find this Off
Ger also is installing a new system
which will simplify his work and be
beneficial to the public.
Commissioners Books.
We find these books neatly kept,
in accordance with law, but recon-
mend that they keep book showing
the Indebtedness of the county, reg
istering each note and to whom pay
able, and when due. This is now be-.
ing done through the regular minutes,
which is commendable, but we feel
that a book showing the Indebtedness
in concrete form would expedite mat
tiers when looking over records. we
find the county owes the following
notes.
Dawson National Bank $5,145.83,
Jan. s, 1920; Dawson National Bank
S2,O22.73, Dec. II, 1919; Dawson
National Bank $10,116.G6, Jan. 9,

Notes due other parties, $4,000.
Grand total, $31, 086.22.
Money in bank Nov. Is, $6,465.57.
Money spent the past six months,
$42,126.40.
Treasurer's Books.
We checked these books, beginning
since last inspection by the grand
Jury, and find them neatly kept, in
accordance with the law, having
checked each voucher represented by
warrants drawn. 1t seems that we
are spending quite bunch of money;
however, it seems to take 1t to do
the work.
These books are kept in regular
form and every thing accounted for
in accordance with law.
School Commissioners Books.
These books are splendidly kept,
