We, the grand jury, chosen and
sworn for the May term, 1882, of
Burke Sup *rii>r Court, do here v ith sub
mit the following general presentments :
By appropriate committees we have
examined into the affairs of the county,
as dilligently as it was possible in the
brief time allotted us.
We, the committee, appointed to ex.
amine the different offices and books of
the following officers, beg leave to re
port that we have done so, and find the
Ordinary’s office in gool order in every
respect; papers neatly filed and record
ed. Also those of the Clerk of the Su
perior Court, as well a* the County
Commissioners and her iff. The loin-
ty Court Judge, R. O. Lovett, makes a
good sh wing of the ct nduct of his of
fice, and by his official report shows
that the cost of said court tor the past
six months has been only $45 80 to the
county, almost self sustaining, and we
recommend its continuation. We re
commend that the Commissioners em
ploy an expert to make general index
books for the record books ot the Ordi
nary and Clerk’s offices. And that
they furnish in addition to the regular
deed books a chat'le mortgage book,
for the Clerk of the Superior Court to
record all such short time papers in, and
that hereafter the regular r'eed and
mortgage book he not encumbered with
such records as cliattle and crop mort
gages, and like short term papers.

We, the committee appointed to ex
amine the books of the Magistrates and
Notaries Public of the county, beg
leave to report as follows : We have
examined the books, and find some of |
them neatly and properly kept, while j
others are not, particularly those of
Messrs. S. E. Clark, Henry W. Jones
and C. L. Godbee. No hooks submit
ted to us from the Notaries of the 60th,
62d, 66th, 68th and 69th Districts, and
no hooks from the Magistrates of the
68th, 70th and 71st Districts. We
find that the cost in some instances
have not been itemized, as required by
law, and call the attention of Magis
trates and Notaries Public to these
facts, and suggest that each procure
proper fee bills.

port as follows : We find the jail in a
fair condition, and we think safe ; but
we recommend to the County Commis
si mers that it should be kept clean ;
also that it be u ed for county purposes
only. The court house, we recommend
that the blinds be put on the inside.—
W e find the Clerk’s and Ordinary’s offi
ces all right. We recommend that the
County Commissioners not, to pay a
cent to the contractor for keeping the
sink in the court house yard clean, as he
has failed io comply with Ids contract as
we understand it; end further that the
said place be used for ihe benefit of the
public, and not allow it used principally
by a few officials.

Report of committee on Tax Re
ceiver, Tax Collector and Jailor’s
books; We have examined carefully
the hooks of the County Treasurer
and fmd them neatly and correctly
kept, reflecting great credit on that
officer.
The 'f ax Collector’s book we find
correctly kept; all money collected
by him having been turned over to
the County Treasurer. We compar
ed carefully the Treasurer’s book
with those of the Tax Collector, and
can find no discrepancies. We find in
the Treasury $2,365 52 which is about
$1,200 less than at the commence
ment of the May Court in 1881. And
in view of this we respectfully sug
gest to the County Commissioners
that same rigid economy that has
characterized their past administra
tion. The Collector has collected and
paid into the treasury $7,894 75Jeav
ing uncollected about $550, of which
amount the Collector considers $150
solvent, if this i* collected it will re
duce the insolvent lLt to about $400
which in view ef the stringency
of the times, is an excellent showing.
