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. whose calling ftn Jsn Stock of Pisgah Store Announcement is made by the Carr Lumber company that F. Brown Carr, former manager of the general store operated by the company at Pisgah Forest, has again been placed in charge of the business.
