GRAND JURY VISITS
 MUNICIPAL HALL
Offer To Co., Operate With
 City, McLendon Says

Inspection of the city hall and city Jail was made Tuesday by the Jeffer- son county grand jury, or a committee from that body.
 Commissioner W. B. CIoe of the de- pertinent of public safety stated the jurymen expressed themselves as satis- fled with the way the jail is being handled, considering the archaic condi- tion of the place, and recommended, among other things that the plumbing be improved.
 President D. E. McLendon said the jurymen called on him and offered their services in any matter which they might attend to for the benefit of the commu- nity, also making a few suggestions regarding municipal affairs.
 ''It is the first time I ever heard of grand jury taking such an att titude," Mir. McLendon said, Instead of being surclarged with desire to de- nounce, they came with the idea of CO., operation in mind, and offered co-opera- tion. It was novelty, and I certainly appreciate it. What pity it is that, wherever possible, ali grand juries do not take hold of their work in that spirit"
 The jury spent about an hour at the city hall and interviewed several of ficials.

PREDICTS BONDS
 FOR COURT HOUSE
Edmundson Says Finan- cial Status Makes Move
 Imperative

Proposal for a bond issue of approxi- mately $1,000,OO0 to help finance Jefferson county's new $2,225, 900 ad- ministration building probably will be submitted to the people as part of the November elections, Captain Lacey Edmundson, reelected as a member of the board of revenue, predicted Tues day.
 i'The vote last Tuesday seems to i'm dicate that the people want to build a new court house on the site facing Woodrow Wilson park" he said, but, even if it is built there, it seems prac- tically an impossibility to construct it without the help of bond issue. We hardly expect to obtain more than $1 ,000,000 for the present site and building; and the plans that have been drawn for the new court house provide for structure costing well over $2,- 000,0 900. Our only recourse will be to a bond issue"
 Would Not Exceed Limit
 Edmundson pointed out that $1,- COG. 900 issue could be provided with out exceeding the debt limit of $2, 2,20O,- GOO fixed by law. Half a million for county schools, similar sum for im- provements to Hillman hospital, and $1, ,0O0,00 for a new court house, was the plan suggested, leaving margin of $200,000 for other purposes.
 An effort will be made to dispose of the present site as soon as possible so as to provide at least part of the funds required for the new structure, board members said, and it is planned to be- gin actual work on it before the pres ent board turns over county affairs to the incoming board.
 The suggestion, however, did not meet with the approval of other mem- bers of the present board, who pre- viously expressed themselves as beiiey- ing that the new county administration building could be erected without a bond issue.
 "I feel sure we can get at least $1 100000 for the present site" T. E. Huey said. "We can begin work, on the new building from the proceeds of this sale. and find additional funds from other sources before it is finish ed. At least IS months or two years will be required to complete the struc- ture." &
 "We can get enough money from our general and road funds to com pIete the iob," said W. B. Copeland. q have believed all the time that no bond issue would be needed, and l still believe so"
