Court House and Jail.
We submit herewith the report OF
our committee appointed to investi-
gate the condition Of the Court House
and Jail:
To the Grand Jury:
We, your committee appointed to
examine the Court House and Jail,
beg leave to submit the following:
We find the jail in fairly good con-
dition, with the exception that the
coping around the roof needs atten-
ton: the jail fence we find almost
rotted down and should be replaced
with new work. We find the furnace
room in bad shape, allowing water to
enter when it rains; the furnace has
been out of commission several
months. We also find paint in some
of the cells feaking badly.
We find that the Court House is in
very good condition, but is in need Of
paint; the steps leading from the f1rst
floor to the toilet should be looked
after and repaired.
