Williams this week, stated that .the condition pi detective .plumbing facilities in the jail still exists. • In the "report it said, “the ad; ministration of the jail is making every effort to keep it in a clean and orderly state. Its effort is greatly handicapped by the" Sadly defected plumbing facilities of the jail, which is now*35 years old, The Grand Jury notes that this unsatisfactory condition was pointed out in the report of the Grand Jury of the • April term. 1957. and that apparently existed for some time. It is evident that some money must be spent to put the plumbing in satisfactory con dition. The Grand Jury urges that this be undertaken as soon as possible." . Inc State Highway Prison Camp, said the report, was found to he “in excellent condition.” A new refrigeration plant is being com pleted there. The jail at Chapel Hill was found clean and* in satis factory condition. The Grand' Jury commended the Sheriff and his deputies and other law entorcement officers of the county for their conscientious efforts of enforcing' the law and for their efficiency in testifying. They noted with great satisfac tion the efforts that are being taken in maintaining the County Highways, particularly the work being done in moving the should ers of the roads to increase visi bility. Superintendent Carr reported to the Grand Jury that the school busses are being- overhauled and will be inspected by the Highway Patrol before school starts. There will be five new buses added, mak ing now a total of 61. W. M. Snipes is foreman of the Grand Jury.. Other members in clude Herman Ashley, Harold H Hnrville. Taylor Thorpe. Bruno A.
