We recommend that steps be taken

The Committee appointed to in
spect the books of the various County
officers submitted the following re-
port, which we as body adopt and
recommend
Exhibit B
To the Hon. Grand Jury:
We your committee appointed to
examine the books and records of
the various county offices wish to re-
port that we find the books and rec
ordS OF all the County offices well
kept and in proper form with the ex-
ception OF the office OF the County
Commissioners,
In this office we find according to
our limited time for examination a
lack of system in keeping a record OF
receipts and disbursements of the
County's affairs. We must also rec
ommend that the County Commits
sionerS hire clerk that will keep
these records and will keep them in
the office of the County Commission
ers, We suggest that they hire a
man who can give sufficient of his
time to this job.
We also recommend that the
Tax Collector Mr.. F. M. Graham buy
such books as are necessary to keep
his records correct and complete and
that the County Commissioners re-
imburse Mr.. Graham for said books.

the same be kept as clean as possible
We also recommend that the tile
walks in front of and around the
