We were shown by the clerk of the Superior Court a separate index book to the Record of Deeds which he is making, and when completed will be, in our opinion, a great convenience and protection to the records; and we there fore recommend the Board of Roads and Revenues, when said book is com pleted, to pay the clerk -a reasonable compensation for the same. We recommend the Board of Roads and Revenues to appoint three good and competent accountants to examine the public records, books of the Justices of the Peace, and the financial condition of the county at least onco every two years, and they to report the result of their action to the first Grand Jury af ter their investigation, as the P* e80n “ system of examination by the Grand Juries is such that justice cannot be done the subject. Whe have, through our committees, examined the dockets of the following Justices of the Peace; to-wit : Wiliam J. Howard, M. E. Davis, J, A. May and G D. Anderson, land find them neatly and correctly kept. Those Were the only ones brought before our body. We concur with the Grand Juries of the tjvo first weeks in reference to the court house, jail and alms-house and other county buildings. We concur with the last week s re port in regard to the public roads, with the following exceptions: The Bluff road leading from Rome to Centre, Ala., in the 919th District G. M.; also that portion of the same road in the 924th Distriot G. M., is in a very dan gerous condition. We do hereby present the Road Com missioners in the above stated districts for failing to have said roads in said districts put in a safe traveling condi tion; and we recommend that the prop er authorities see to it at once that these Commissioners perform their duties. We also find that the portion of the road in the 855th District G. M. leading to Cedar Bluff, Ala., from Smith’s creek to the 16-mile post to be in wretched condition; the same being included in that portion set apart to F. H. King, at his own request. We recommend that the proper authorities see that he puts the same in a good, safe and passable condition at once; and we hereby pre sent the Commissioners of the 855th Distriot for said neglect of their official duties. We also recommend that the change in the Cave Spring road at the 6-mile station, where the Cedartown road in tersects the same, be placed where the Commissioners originally • located the same; and that the slough juBt beyond Gabriel Jones be bridged. And also recommend that sign and finger-boards and mile posts be erected on all tbe roads and cross and forks of roads which have not each, all over the coun ty. And we recommend that the prop er authorities see that the same is done as the law directs. We respectfully and with due defer ence beg leave to recommend to the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of the county to organize a chain gang from the convicts of this county, and such as may be obtained on good terms from other counties, to work on the public roads in this coun ty. Good public roads leading into Rome, and to any other plaoes, are of the first and most vital importance to the commercial interests of the city and agricultural prosperity. The roads might be worked, begin ning at the line of the incorporation of Rome and adjoining towns and villages and working each publio road one mile in turn, and so on in turn again, until the county line is reached. The old jail might be utilized for quarters at night; and if a proper man could be procured to take charge of the hands, properly shackled, much good might be done. We do not recommend that the road laws now in force for working the pub lie roads should be suspended. We sug gest the chain gang in addition to and in connection with the present laws. We find that since the first week’s Grand Jury reports that W. W. Che ney has had the change in the Texas Valley road worked and put in good, passable condition. We also find that the bridge at Thomas’ mill has been re paired Borne, but to what extent we have not been able to ascertain. We recommend these presentments be published in the city papers on the same terms as last week’s presentments were published. We return our thanks to his Honor Judge Underwood and the Solicitor General for courtesies extended our body during the week.
