Report of the Grand Jury.
We, the Grand Jury for the above j
term, wish to submit our report as
follows:
We have passe'd upofi all bills com
ing before us. j
We have inspected the chain gang
and find the camp and quarters in
'good condition, reasonably sanitary,
'prisohers well fed and kept in com
fortable condition. At the time the
inspection was made sixteen prison
ers were not at work on account of
weather conditions, but our further
investigation disclosed that the chain
gang prisoners are worked at all
times when conditions will permit.
We have inspected the county
home and find that it is kept .in a
sanitary condition and that the in
mates thereof are well fed and
pear to be well satisfied with condi
tions.
We have inspected the courthouse
and find the same in good condition
and well cared for except glass
broken in door of Recorder's court
room which we recommend be re
placed without delay.
We have inspected the jail and
find it to be in a sanitary condition
and the prisoners I therein well fed
and properly cared for and humanely
treated. We find, however, that bars
have been cut on the 'first and sec
ond floors of the jail which should
be replaced immediately. We also
recommend six or eight additional
cots for the jail on account of the
crowded conditions.
We have examined the records
in the offices of clerk of superior
THE FOREST CITY COURIER,' THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1930-
court, sheriff, county treasurer, au
ditor, register ef deeds and superin
tendent of education and have found
ijyite. records to be well kept and
an excellent system of bookkeeping
lin each of these offices. We recom-
Imend that some shelves or another
!table be placed in the lobby of the
| sheriff's office to be used for filing
tax abstracts so as to be more assec
'sible to the public.
We wish to thank His Honor Judge
Walter En Moore for his able and in
structive charge and also Solicitor
J. W. Pless, as well as all of the coun
ty officials for their courteous treat
jjjent and co-operation which has en
abled us to complete our investigation
without difficulty.
Respectfully submitted,
S. A. SUMMEY, Foreman.
