We your jury respectfully report as follows, viz: There liave been 102 bills presented to our body, i V . 63 were found true bills, 23 were found not true bills, 7 were submitted by the solicitor, 7 were not artod on for want of witnessess. W beg to re port that the clerk of the court reports to us that few guardians have, failed to make their reports, which he will ex plain to your Honor. A committee was appointed to ex amine the county home, and report as follows, viz t The home was found in good condition, and all inmates prop erly cared for. It is recommended that a ' suitable cook house be provided at once tor the home, as it is much needed. We beg to state that this recommen dation has been made several times, but has never been acted upon, and we earnestly request that your honor will direct action to be taken at once. ' There are twenty inmates which in cludes the keeper and the cook, of, these there are two white females, one of whom is insane. IWe think that she should be removed t the' asylum for proper treatment. There are eleven colored female Inmates one of whom 's ' blind. ' ' ' , .' The committee appointed to invest!-1 iraie tne jail reported as follows, vis :; we nnd the jail ana its surroundings an and well kept, and all prisoners in good condition. we rind . one rind . one i colored female prisoner who is in sane, who we recommend should be I sis ! thai sent to the 'asylum at once, as she i tLft unri fOAhlo citvi tka in maI- 4hn t proper place for her. The rest of the X prisoners are young colored males. 1 in regard to the security of tne pail, J wb uck iv ainie mat wu ooiievo it i be very insecure, as we have verv carefully inspected tha iron cells, also tne oars ot the various windows, v We are informed that there have been several jail deliveries made dur ing the past year, and that the only im plement used was a piece of 2x4 scant ing with which the prisoners prised open the bars to the cells and windows. Wo recommend that steel eells be placed in the jail which are locked by a lever, ana mat tne pars oi . tne win dows be" removed and be replaced by steel bars properly set into the walls of tne uu. . .. 1 ' . ,. we hnd upon mvesturation that the floors of the jail and cells re in j bad condition, and should be fixed at j once. We further find that a hose ia used to wash up the floors of the jail, and that the water from tame must be he bailed up and thrown out of the win- dows. - ' ' .., : I We recommend that a (4) inch sewer be placed in the corner of the jail for. carrying off this water.' 1 ! I the committee appointed to investi gate the court house and premises beg to report as follows, viz : - we nave examined the interior of the court house, and find that ft should be ' oainted throughout the various offices in the building do not compare favora-1 bly with the exterior of the . building. ! and we thinx that every omce, also all tne wans snouid ne given tnorough painting. . We also find that the ceiling in the court room is in need of repair, and also should be painted, and we re commend that it should be done as soon as possible. . -. . Upon examination of the vaults in the omce of the Clerk of the Court, and ' the Register of Deeds, we find there a great amount of wood work,. We think the records of thecountv much too valuable to be thus subjected to danger from fire, and we earnestly recommend that all this wood work be replaced by the latest improved steel fittings. t ; .. We learn that this recommendation has. been made several times, and has never been acted upon, ana we trust that your Honor will direct action to be ta en at once. , We think that suitable office furni ture should be provided for the office of the clerk and sheriff as that which is used at present is not at all in keep ing with what should be expected in the office of county officials in a com munity of this size. We also recommend that a eloset be placed in the upper story of the build inar for the use of the court officials. We find upon investigation that the closet used bv the public, in the yard, is entirely msutlicient-at we nndthat at present both white and colored males and females aie usinsr the same closet We think this condition should not exist, and immediate action should be taken to provide suitable closets, and we trust that your Honor will so direct We have examined the office of the Register of Deeds Clerk of the Court. and Sherirtr and beg to report that we find same all in good condition and well keot We also recommend that the en tire court house and jail should be heated bv steam, as we think that it will be much more economical and add much to the safety of both jail and court house, and to the comfort of the public, and especially to the court offi cials. , We think that a heater should be placed under the building, and connect- ea wim xne jiui, we ravr oeen m formed that some of the insane prison ers in the jail have on several occasions come near injuring themselrea serious ly by coming in contact with the stoves mux! at Dreeent.
