GET A ROAD ENGINEER

In its general presentments made
public today the Putnam county
grand jury very specifically calls on
the county commissioners to employ
a competent road engineer. Empha-
sis is added to the grand jury's rec
concentrations by the deplorable con-
dition of the county's dirt roads fol-
lowing the severe rain, and by the
fact that very soon it is expected
that the county will be constructing
several hundred thousands of dollars
worth of good roads, as well as a
new bridge over the st. Johns.
There has been persistent insist
ence by the largest taxpayers in the
county that the commissioners EN-
ploy an engineer, committees from
leading civic bodies, representing
unanimous sentiment, had made ap
peals and at a recent meeting the
commissioners agreed to appropriate
$4,000 for the employment of an en-
gineer. Later this amount was Gu
and the matter of employing com
petent man went glimmering.
Practically all of the progressive
counties of the state are employing
competent engineers to take charg
of their roads. The experience of al
is that thousands of dollars are say
ed and that untold benefits accru
from better supervision of the coun
tvs road system.

GRAND JURY pREsENTMENTs

In circuit court, Putnam county,
Florida:
General presentments of the grand
jury az the fall term of AID. 1922 in
and for Putnam county.
To the Honorable A. V. Long, Judge
of the Above Named Court:
We, the grand jury, wish to thank
your honor for the many courtesies
shown us and for your general
charge and other courtesies during
our deliberations. 4
We also desire to thank Hon. A. S.
Crews, the states attorney, for his
assistance in our deliberations and
enabling US to expedite our business.
eW find that the public roads of
Putnam county are in deplorable
condition; at the same time there is
a large sum of money spent each
year and it is the opinion of this
grand jury that the people of this
county are paying heavy road tax
and not getting better roads, and we
believe that this condition is mostly
caused by those having charge of the
road work of the county not being
acquainted with the best methods of
grading and working said road;
therefore, we recommend that those
in charge do hire a road engineer
who can get the proper grades and
enable better service to be rendered
for the taxes the people pay.
We further recommend that the
county commissioners of Putnam
county do drive piling and fix place
for the storing of supplies on the St
Johns river bridge and remove sale
supplies from the way of travel.
We further recommend that the
board of county commissioners Of
Putnam county do repair or put {
new roof on the courthouse anc
stop leaks.
We further recommend that the
board of county commissioners d.
join with some move or society fol
the preparation of ladies' rest room
in some convenient place in Palatka
Having completed our labors TO,
the term we respectfully ask to b.
discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
