That Arlington county is as free
from violations of the prohibition
law "as it has ever been" and that
the sheriff of the county is doing all
is the belief of the grand jury. which
recently made an investigation and
Su omitted its report to Samuel G.
Brant. presiding judge.
The report of the grand jury was
submitted to the court by Ashton c.
in its report showed it had made in
vestigations of other affairs of the
county Regarding the school con-
ditions. the report said: We have
examined conditions of school affairs
and find that law, in letter and spirit.
is being carried out"
Continuing. the report said, in part.
as follows:
I'VE find that no financial report of
county affairs has been published
during 1920. nor up to last week. and
We recommend that report be required
to be published twice year. as re-
quired by law
We have examined the expenditure
Of moneys by health department anil
believe that said department is doing
by it is being spent for best interest
of county
I'VE would recommend that salary
of health officer be fixed by your
board of supervisors: and that all
bills for equipment for his Office be
approved by said board, and said
health officer or other persons ham
ding county funds be required to
give bond.
We have investigated reports of
expenditure of county moneys by your
board of supervisors contrary to law;
and while this Is technically true it
has been done with view of getting
best results.
I'VE strongly recommend that all
road work done in the whole county
be done under supervision of the
county engineer and all bills paid out
fore payment.
I'VE further recommend that your
board of supervisors endeavor to work
together more harmoniously and do
business in more businesslike manner,
and eliminate wrangling SO prevalent
at past meetings.
We recommend that common
weaIth's attorney general of Virginia
see If board of supervisors has
authority to employ health officer and
pay him out of county funds"
