Recommendations.
1t being heing reported to this
body by a member thereof from the
Sasser district that the roads in that
district are in bad condition, we rec
ommend that the county commission
ers have same worked and put in
good order.
We recommend that the road near
Bronwood crossing two branches,
which the commissioners contemplate
Strengthening, be not Strengthened at
this time, on account of the work in
volved in same, and that this work
be applied in improving other roads
now needing work.
We recommend that reward of
twenty-five dollars be paid any Off
Ger or police of the county captur-
ing persons guilty of violating the
prohibition law.
We recommend that the county
commissioners reimburse the parties
who paid the reward in the Dan Ea-
ton case of 500.
The health of our people is one Of
the most important assets of our
county, ana every effort should be
made to protect and preserve the
same. We note with regret that the
Board of Health of Terrell county
has not yet been legally organized
with the proper rules, regulations,
powers and functions to efficiently
discharge its duties and protect the
health and morals of our citizens.
We suggest that the Board of
Health organize with the proper rules
and regulations at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, so that it WILL when
necessary, have the power to enforce
efficient quarantine regulations to
prevent the spread of infectious, con-
tagious and communicable diseases.
with power also to require the prop
er registration of births and deaths,
and with such other powers as may
,be advisable to further efficiently pro-
tcet the health and morals of our cit
liens.
This we deem to be highly import
ant and urgently necessary, and we
sincerely trust that the Board of
Health will proceed without unnec-
essary delay to carry out the rec
concentrations herein made.
The term of the physician to the
Board of Health for Terrell county
having expired, we have reelected
DR.. w. Fl. Gardner to succeed him.
self for the next term of four years.
The committee on public buildings
find the Jail in good condition, but
some bedding needed. The court
house needs the roof repaired, as
there are several leaks in same. The
public buildings are well kept.
We recommend that riding bailiffs
be paid a per. diem of four dollars
per day fer serving at this term of
court.
The solicitor general of the Pa
taula circuit having been changed
from the fee system to a salaried
basis in the middle of his term of
Office we recommend that our rep
resentative in the general assembly
introduce and use his best efforts to
have passed \ bill repeating this law
in so far as the present term of the
solicitor general is concerned. After
which time the salaried system can
again go into effect if this is consid-
cred best, and let the incoming solicit
tor general be elected knowing what
his compensation will be, as we do
not advocate a change in method of
payment during any incumbent's
term of Office.
We recommend that these present
ments be printed in The Dawson
News.
We wish to thank his honor, Judge
VIM. c. Worrill, and Solicitor General
B. 7. Castellow for the courtesies ex-
tended to us during our deliberations.
Respectfully submitted,
F. M. McNULTY, Foreman.
