However, we find it advisable
that certain work be done in con-

we accordingly recommend that
the sanitary toilet fixtures now
in the jail building be replaced
with modern fixtures; further,
that the clubhouse affording toilet

continued use of county prison
ers to cut high grass growing in
the yard of the County Home.
Schools
The Douglass Elementary and
Junior Senior High School build
ings are both in need of general
repairs and the installation of
sanitary toilet facilities. We
recommend that such work be
done as soon as practicable.
Our inspection Of the Harris
Elementary School building dis
closes that same is now under
repair, and our investigation in
dictates that such repairs, when.
completed, will put the building
in satisfactory condition.
Our inspection of and informa-

ing convinces US that same is in
urgent need of repairs. We have
also been informed that such re-
quired repairs have been provided

is our recommendation that such
repairs be completed as early as
possible, and that the Board Of
