GRAND JURY
PRESENTM
Of Jurors Drawn For November
Term, 1928, of Cobb Su-
perior Court
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Cobb County.


Cobb County.
To the Honorable D. w. Blair, Judge
Superior Court, of Said County:
We, the Grand Jury for the No
vember 1923 Term, of Cobb Superior
Court, beg to submit the following
general presentments:
We have received reports from
each of the county officials who han
die funds, showing cash receipts and
disbursements for the period from
July to November, this year.
Through committees we have ex-
amined the books and records of
these officials and the Justices of the
Peace, also the physical properties of
the county, consisting of Court House,
Jail. aims house and convict camps.
The statements from the officials
and the reports of the committees
from this body are attached hereto,
and fled in the office of the Clerk
of Superior Court.
We have also appointed a special
committee to examine the uncollect-
ed tax fl fas., which are now on file
in the office of the County Commits
sioners, for the years 1916 to 1922,
inclusive. The report of this COM
mittee is also hereto attached and
filed with the Clerk.
Our comment and recommends
tions with reference to these reports
and the findings of these committees,
follow:
Financial Condition of the County
An approximately correct state
ment of the present financial condi-
ton of the county may be had from
the reports of the county officials.
taken together with the findings re-
ported by firm of certified public
accountants, who audited the books
and records of all county officials for
the period beginning January 10,
1922, and ending Feb. Is. 1923. This
audit shows that on Feb. Il 5, 1928 the
current liabilities of the county ex-
ceeded the current assets by $73,-
4O5.55. The outstanding warrants
on that date amounted to $145,411.-
AZ Balanced against and deducti-
bic from this liability, the following
assets are listed:

of our court, our earnest apprecia-
ton for his able instructions to us in
his charge, and for the many kind
nesses shown our body during our de-
liberations. We also wish to assure
him of the abiding faith of this body
IN his ability, sincerity, and honesty
Of purpose. We heartily commend
him for the dispassionate, impartial
and courageous manner in which he
Is administering the laws in this cir

We wish also to extend our sincere
thanks to our efficient and courteous
Solicitor-General, John S. Wood, for
the advice and assistance rendered US
during our service. He has at all
times been ready and anxious to rem
der us every aid possible, yet he has
at no time undertook to encroach
upon the rights, privileges or duties
of the Grand Jury.
We felicitate ourselves and con-
graduate the people of this Judicial
Circuit in being privileged to have
two such efficient, courteous and
worthy men in charge of our courts,
and we remark with satisfaction the
utter absence of dissension or poll
tics in connection with the court, and
the harmony that prevails in the ad-
ministration thereof.

the financial condition of the county,
as compared with its condition on
February IS, 1928.
In this connection, we have re-
ceived report from the Clerk of the
Board of Commissioners, showing a
decrease of $25, 1889, in the amount
of warrants issued for the first ten
months of 1923, as compared with
the amount issued for the same Pc
Rod of 1922.
During the period since the July
Term, the county has received aid on
road projects, from the State of $1O,-
10000 and from Federal Government
81, $4,000.
Uncollected Tax Fl. Fas.
Our committee, assigned to the
duty of investigating these uncollect-
ed taxes, having gone into the mat
ter very thoroughly and they report
considerable number of outstanding
and uncollected fl. fas. for the years
of 1916 to 1922, inclusive.
The total amount of these fl. fas.,
according to this report, is S4O,8O8.-
"a, or an average for each of the
seven years of between FIVE and six
thousand dollars.
The members of this Grand Jury
personally investigated many Of these
Fl. fas., based on real estate and find
that some of them are directed
against persons who have sold the
property and that the buyer has re-
turned it for taxation and holds re-
ceipt for the taxes, in other words.
they represent duplicate assessments.
In other cases we find that the par
ties named in these Fl. fas. have
moved away, and for other reasons
are not collectible. On the other
hand, the facts disclosed by this in
vestigation convinces us that quite a
number of them are collectible and
that they would not now be outstand-
ing had the Sheriff been diligent in
the discharge of his duties, in this
particular.
We find that practically all of
these fl. fas. bear the following en-
dorsement by the Sheriff: rDiligent
search made and no property found y
In many instances this endorsement
is erroneous for the reason that the
existence and location of this partic
ular property is a matter of common
knowledge. The Sheriff explains that
this endorsement is necessary on all
fl. fas. that have not been collected
within a certain time in order that
the Tax Collector may be able to set
tie with the State within the time re-
quired by the law, and that it is I'M
derstood that they are to be returned
to him for collection. He states that
these Endorsements are made with
the knowledge of the Tax Collector
and the Board of County Commits
sioners.
We strongly disapprove of such a
practice and recommend its imme-
date discontinuance.
At this point, we think it but Just
to Deputy Sheriff Sanders to state
that we find that all matters connect
ed with the collection of taxes and
practically all other office work is in
charge of the Sheriff, and that Mr..
Sanders is in no way responsible for
the manner in which these matters
have been handled.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1924-01-31

This condition of affairs should De
promptly taken in hand by the proper
officials and cleared up. Such of
these fl. fas. as are based on visible
property should be levied on, adver-
tised and sold in accordance with the
law as provided in such cases. Such
of them as are found to be erroneous
and worthless should be so. endorsed
and charged off.
Under the law, the Board of Com
missioners are the highest authority
in all matters pertaining to the finan-
ces of the county, and have the legal
right to take whatever steps may be
necessary to>remedy these conditions.
We recommend that they act.
With reference. to such of these fl.
fas. as are erroneous, we wish to call
the attention of the taxpayers to the
fact that great many of these errors
are caused by the failure of the prop
erty owners to fully and correctly
answer all questions on the return
blanks, especially those answers
which have to do with the location
and description OF, the property re-
turned and still more especially the
answers to questions regarding prop
erty sold and transferred by the par
ty making the return.
The Tax Receiver should refuse to
accept returns that are not correctly
or fully made out.
We find that the Tax Receiver and
the Assessors quite frequently as
sumo that property is owned by an
individual for the reason that this in
dividual made returns on it the pre-
vlous year, when as matter of fact
the party has disposed of it, and the
now owner has returned it. This re-
suits in the assessment of the same
piece of property to both parties.
We condemn this practice and rec
ommend that these officials discon-
tinue it.
The attention of the County Regis
trars and the voters of the county
is called to the fact that three copies
of this list of tax defaults have been
made by us and a>copy filed with each
of the following county. officials: The
Tax Collector, the Clerk of Superior
Court, and the County Commission
ers. This list is long one, and re-
CARELESS of whether they are correct
or not, so long as they are outstand-
ing, they have the legal effect of dis
franchising every voter against whom
they are directed. We feel it to be
our duty to call the voters attention
to this fact in order that they may
take the necessary steps to protect
their suffrage.
Road Tax Delinquents
We understand that there are a
great number of road tax defaulters,
some of whom refuse to pay this tax.
Under this heading we quote from
the auditors report referred to above
The road tax problem is one that
deserves serious consideration, par
ticularly as it appears that the rev.
enue from this source is unusually
small and the method of check there
on has not been provided properly.
1t appears to us that a full list OF
persons in the county, who are sub
jeet to road tax, should be compiled
and revised annually, same to be
used for purpose of collecting"
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1924-01-31

We endorse the suggestions of the
auditor, and recommend that the
County Commissioners take the nee
essary steps to correct this trouble.
Physical Properties
The court house and jail buildings
are in need of minor repairs. The
floors are broken in two or three
places. These should be repaired and
the floors in both buildings should be
cleaned.
Some of the window lights are bro
ken out and several of the shades
worn out. Chairs are needed in the
Petit Jury room. The windows in
the court house should be equipped
with good cord.
The floor in the prison department
of the Jail should be raised to the
same elevation as the floor of the
prison cages. This would greatly i'm
prove the sanitary conditions there.
They are very bad at present.
Aims House
Committee reports 80 inmates, who
express themselves as being satisfac-
torily cared for. Mr.. Prather is COM
plimented for the great interest and
care that he takes in the management
Of the home, and it is recommended
that his services in this capacity be
continued
1t is recommended that the forty
acres Of land lying east of the aims
house be turned over to the convict
camp headquarters for cultivation for
the reason that Mr.. Prather has more
land than he can cultivate to advan-
tage.
General Recommendation
We recommend the adoption of the
Australian ballot system for all cleo
tions.
We recommend the appointment of
the following Notaries to fill vacan-
cles in their respective districts:
G. L. FamDrough, for Notary Pub
lie, Smyrna District, No. 1892.
H. Nix, for Notary Public, Merritts
District, No. 897.
A. N. Mayes, for Notary Public,
Oregon District, No. 1917.
We recommend that the per diem.
of jurors and bailiffs be fixed at So
per day for the year 1924.
We recommend that our represen-
tatives in the legislature introduce
and endeavor to pass a bill prohibit
ing the hunting, shooting, or trap
ping of quail in this county, for a
period of three years from the pas
sage of the act.
We recommend that the commits
sioners provide fire proof vaults for
the records in the offices of the
County Commissioners and the Tax
Collector, and more secure the pro-
lection for the records and docu-
ments in the office of the Clerk of
the Superior Court.
We recommend that these present.
ments be published In The Marietta
Journal, The Cobb County Times and
The Four-County Post, and that the
legal rate allowed for this expense
be divided equally between the three
We wish to thank our foreman,
Judge J. M. Stone, our Clerk, Mr..
Carriker, and our Bailiff, Mr.. Morris.
All three of these officials have done
faithful and efficient work.
