Water Co" Made at lectins Should be County Home and Heating Plant Installed i nCourt House at Once. T grand jury for the January of Haywoci) county Superior filed its report with Judge I Cline last week and wa-.i discharged, having completed the work before it. The report of the grand jury again strongly recommends many of the tningS that have formed the main subject of reports from former grand juries. The need of water at the county home, the necessity for a modern heating plant in the coun ty court house, a county auditor, all have been urged by other trrand grand juries and are acain urged by the present body. The report follows: State of North CaroIina, Haywood County In the Superior Court January Term, 191.1. To the Honorable E. B. Cline, Judge Presiding. We, the Grand Jury, respectfully submit the following report: We Jiave carefully examined all bills of indictment sent for "our con sideration, and have continued such as could not justly be reported on owing to lack of witnesses. We have visited and examined all the county offices and take pleasure in testifying to the cleanliness and neatness of each. We have no crit icism to offer as to the method of keeping records, except as ta the ftce tof County fTreasure. tWfe rind that the system of booklieoping t-- r5 i tie l ac!

We earnestly .recommend that the County Treasurer , be. given this authority.; , , ,, .... - -V We also recommend that the' County Commissioners employ a County Au ditor. Jn, making fthLe suggestion we do not wish to be Understood as' advocating the creation of a new office with high salary attached. Whut we mean is that' an expert' ac countant should be appointed Co ex amine the books of all eounty officers at least once in every three months, and be paid a reasonable compen sation for his services. " This ' would afford protection not alone to the county, but to the officers' themselves, and in the end would doubtls's prove a wise and economical expenditure." We have examined the'eounty home and find conditions as a whole, 'to he lendid -.ft Qtat hstitutiaijt J. The inmates are well cared for; an have an . abundance iof wholesome food, and comfortable 'cldithmg. ' ' The building is.completly equipped with piumbing, but has no water connec tion. We recommend that the com missioners take early steps to secure an adequate water surply for the home. Also 'that a heating' plant be installed in the interest of economy and for the prevention of fire. ' The County Convict Camp . has leea inspected and seems to be in a uhfaughJy sati.'ifaatory . condition It is the opinion cf the Grand Jury that some slight improvement coulo be made in the food of the convicts, but there was no complaint from the convicts themselves I In all ctherf respects the camp is in as good con dition las ciuld M?asonably be ex pected. ! V.'e find the Court House and the Coanty Jail to be in good condition. There aas been much criticism as to the condition of the toilets in the cci r. hou e, but the Grand Jury Ciiii't its way clear to join in the criticism. On the opening day of c',urt these closets were thoroughly mat and clean, but it is next to im possible to keep them in that condi tion during court. We are satisfied -i-iU tae couit house officials use their jest efi'oits in this direction, but the ..uiiiiie.' ai d character of some of the ,ec pie in attendance upon court ren-c-doitj more or less futile. . - - .'n'y 0,le recc.T.ner.dation Negro Given Long Term for A U.'npf at ci'iminaal As- ;uit on i.i.:' Child Other (':: , s in the Criminal Court.
