County Property In Need of Repair !
and School Buses Should Be Checked j
County buildings, school buildings
and school buses are in need of re
pair, according to the grand jury
report submitted to His Honor, Judge
Wilscn Warlick, on Friday.
Following is the report, one of the
most complete to be made by a grand
jury here in some time:
To His Honor, Wilson Warlick,
Judge Presiding.
Sir:
We the igrand jury, having finish
ed our labors for the present term
of Transylvania County Superior
Court, submit the following report:
We wish to thank YoiiV Honor for
your charge and to thank all the
officers of the court for their assist
ance to* us.
We have examined all bills sub
mitted to us by the Solicitor and
returned the same into court.
We have examined the court house
and the offices therein. The offices
are apparently well kept and in good
order. We find the bonds of all the
newly installed officers apparently
in good form, all duly approved and
in our opinion good solvent bonds.
We find the building in good condi
tion except the following repairs
needed: The heating system needs
overhauling, especially the valves.
Many of the window panes need to
be re-puttied. The woodwork needs
repainting on the outside. We recom
mend complete new modern plumbing
in the ladies’ rest room and in the
public division, also a new floor in
the ladies’ rest rdom. The various
spigots need overhauling. There is
no state flag in the court room.
We have examined the jail and
find same well kept and in good
order, except that we recommend the
following: minor adjustments to
plumbing and heating. Repairs to
various windows. We recommend a
wire netting to be placed over the
jail windows close enough and strong
enough to prevent articles being
passed in and out. We also recom
mend a fence around the jail ample
to keep outsiders at ample distance.
We examined the county home and
find things in good condition, well
kept, inmates satisfied, and the in
stitution well supplied with furniture
and provisions.
We examined the prison camp at
Calvert and found the construction
work being rushed to completion, and
the work appears to be substantial,
secure and well planned: The super
intendent .expects to move the force
ito it within' the next two weeks.
They are temporarily well cared for,
but slightly over crowded, however
this condition will be remodied when
the force is moved into new quarters.
We have examined the school
buses; and we recommend as follows:
Bus. No. 8, Rosman, glasses are out
of both doors and cushions are in bad
condition and back door control is
gone. Bus. No. 12, Rosmaii, in good
shape. Bus No. 10, Rosman, is iu a
dangerous condition, brakes no good,
no lights, and the bus is in generally
bad condition, also this bus is over
crowded and at times has to drive at
night without lights.
The other buses are in fairly good
condition, but need minor repairs,
such as, replacing glasses, adjusting
doors, etc.
We would recommend that the
State Highway Patrol bo required to
examine these busses at least once a
month, and report all defects found.
We have examined the school
buildings of the county, and find that
ail of the fourteen schools, whether
composed of one or more buildings,
need repairing, such as repairing
roofs, painting, repairing windows,
floors, doors and general work.
At the Pisgah Forest school work
is being done on replacing the plumb
ing but only at the rate of a few
hours a week. This work should be
rushed. One new stove is needed.
At the Old Toxaway school lumber
has been on hand for some time, but
nothing has been done toward start
ing repairs.
At the Rosenwald school materials
are on hand at the schdol building
for repairs, but the work is not be
ing done.
The various stoves and heating
plants need over-hauling and some of
the stoves need new grates, especially
the Rosenwald school. ...
Cedar Mountain school is without
toilets. . ' . . ,
In the elementary department ol
the Rosman school at least double the
amount of toilet* are needed for
both sexes. This same building also
needs drainage ditches on the out
side to take care of the surface
water.
Broken sewers at the Rosman
schools need immediate attention.
The gymnasium at Roaman la in
bad condition.
The bus waiting station* need re
pairs’, especially roofs.
Respectfully submitted,
H. P. WHITMIRE,
Foreman of Grand Jury.

of cattle from the drouth etricke*
areas of the west were sent here dur
ing the summer and distributed in
various sixe lots on farms and boun
daries throughout the county.
Assumption was, when the cattle
were placed, that they would be left
here during the winter months, the.
government to pay up to three dol
lars per head per month for keep of
the cattle with part of the feed to be
furnished by the government.
Contract as recently signed by
majority of the farmers who had
cattle for feeding and care, set out
specifically that the cattle were to
be kept until such time or times as
the governmental agencies would
deem suitable for taking them. Mis
understanding has been reported in
several instances, some farmers as
; serting that they would not glvt up
'the cattle until May of 1935, this
I date being termination of their con
I tract with the relief agencies' for
: keeping the cattle, and the assump
tion being that the cattle would not
, be taken away until that time.
