GRAND JURY REpo q J oRTs :


The Grand Jury which has been in
session for ne past few days, after
havine been receaaed TOR several days
from their first meeting, adjourned
Fridav morning after making their
report to The circuit clerk. Several
indictments ssvere returned which arc
mt VET ready for publication. The
members of the jury also visited tne
county jail, court house and county
home and recommended that repairs
be made On the buildings.
On their inspection they found that
the jail bililding was in very. poor
condition. + he foundation under the
addition on the residence part is set
lied to such degree as to materially
damage the walls Of the addition anc
making part of them to appear dan
eerous. The drainage in the base
ment of the residence part was also
found to be- very poor aRd also the
residence part was badly in need OF
paint and repairs. The corridor OF
the iail was found to be very unsafe
for the safekeepiHg Of prisoners and
the jury recommended that the IN.
terror be lined with kind OF sheet
metal in order to prevent the prisoil-
ers from digging out through the
brick walls. :.
The court house was found to be
in need Of some roof repairs and new
plumbing. Upon investigation OF the
attic Of the building several iron TUBS
were found to be placed in order that
the water which came through the
roof would be caught and thus pre-
vented from running on down int,
the offices through the plastering ana
damaging the building. The tubs
were found to be full of water and
BADLY. in need Of emptying." The
ianitor service was also found to DC
very inferior and change advised.
The visit to the county hone
proved that the building there was
well maintained and very. neat ana
that the inmates were well cared tor;
The building was in good shape ana
only one change at this place was
recommended. This was to do away
with TIC old frame building at tue
side OF the main building and build q
six room addition for the main build
ing OF brick and stone for the super
intensIent and family.
