CD That the salary of the cook

After our inspection in the Court
House we recommend the follow
ing: % That the lavatory and
commode be replaced in the rear of
the Clerk of the Circuit Courts
Office.
(2) That the toilets in the base
ment be replaced.
90 That the new board of County
| Commissioner follow up with the
efforts of the present board in cor
recting the condition of the ceiling
in the Office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court.
After our inspection in the Gar
rett County Memorial hospital we
find it to be in excellent condition.
We recommend however, the pur-
chase of a larger deep freeze for
the kitchen and at least one new
tray cart.
The condition of the County
Roads Garage is very good. How
! ever, we recommend that some
thing be done to correct the escape
of fumes from the garage and shop
to the second floor.
1t was brought to our attention
that the Commissioners can spend
only S25,00000 annually for the
! purchase of new equipment and
machinery. Last year the County
spent over S10000000 for the repair
of old machinery and equipment.
We recommend that new legislation
| be passed to the end that the limit
to be spent annually for the pur-
chase of machinery and equipment
for the roads department be raised.
/ We also recommend that study
be made as to the feasibility of
standardizing equipment and ma
| chinery and also study as to the
limit to be spent for the purchase
| OF equipment. We suggest that the
present antiquated method OF trans
porting heavy equipment be mod
ernized and also modern labor saw
| ing leaders and other devices be
acquired.
I'VE also recommend that bids
be required for the purchase of
read equipment and machinery in
excess of the limit now provided
for in the general law, of Md.
We desire to express to his Honor
Neil C. Fraley, our thanks and ap-
probation for his courtesy extended

the Constables Tor Garrett County.
Maryland, for their cooperation and
assistance to US during our delib-
erations. 1t is our opinion that
the law enforcement officers have
performed their duties in a very
cOmmendable manner.
And we lastly wish to express our
thanks to Mr.. Stephen R. Pagen-
hardt, States Attorney for Garrett
County, for his advice and coopera-
ton as an advisor to this Grand
Jury and his able manner in con-
Quoting his affairs before us is
