Thursday, May 28, 1931. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY ; ver a 1 Recommendations " Made By Body—Urge Citi zens to Care for Public Buildings. Kutherfordton, May 20. —Follow- er i. the report of the Grand Jury u-hich dosed its work Friday after r(,on. Mr. F. D. Koone was fore '. n Judge Sink commended the re- ,r and urged that all citizens take pride in keeping the court house and ether public buildings clean and at tractive. He said no one should be allowed to strike matches on the floor or walls, or throw cigar or cig arette stubs on the floor or spit on the walls or floor. We, the Grand Jury at the May Term' l93l, of the Superior Court 0 f Rutherford county, beg leave to , übm it the following as our report: We have considered and passed upo n all bills and presentments which have come before us during ti, e term and returned the same to the court. We have inspected the county Court House and the county offices. We find the records in good condi tion. We recommend that the old wills of Rutherford { county be transcribed from the old books to one new book and it is recom mended that the County Commis sioners employ some one to do this work at as early a date as possible. We recommend that a new Roster 0 f North Carolina Confederate troops of the Civil War be pur chased or obtained by exchange. In view of the fact that many j of the school busses now operated by the County Board of Education have been in operation from seven i to ten years it is our judgment! that the Board should begin a de-1 finite policy of replacement of not' less than ten trucks per year with a view to safer and more efficient operation. Howeyer, we wish to j commend the excellent record of efficient and economical operation to this time. "We recommend that the County Tax Collector shall be required to give bond in amount sufficient to cover taxes intrusted to them for collection. We find sinking fund on deposit in Industrial Loan and Investment Bank of Forest City, N. C., amount ing to approximately $32,000.00 and surety bend only $25,000.00. We recommend that the bond be increase to cover the entire amount.

We further recommend that ; the women employees of the court • house be allowed to have a lock on : the private toilet and given keys jto same. i j- We have visited the county jail ; and find that they need fifty new I bed ticks and also fifty swinging | cots and two case hardened bars to replace some that have been sawed into by some unknown prisoners. ;We also find some overhead plast- J ering that needs repairing.
