To His Honor, J. J. Kiimsey,
Judge Superior Court of Lump
kin county, April Term 1004.
We the grand jury chosen and
•sworn for this term respectfully
submit to your Honor our report
for the present term.
We entered upon our duties on
Monday morning after a very in
telligent charge of your Honor up
on the various subjects which
would attract the attention of
this body, and we have carefully
considered all the business brought
before us and made decision of all
the matters pertaining to the at
tention of this body.
We find the county in a very
reasonable condition financially
and the public property carefully
looked after by our vigilent ordi
nary. The report of the Finance
Committee, which we have adopt
ed, will show the workings of the
county officers in their respective
offices, and it is here appended as
a part of our report,
Report ok Finance Committee,
Dahlonkga,•, April 18, 1904.
We the Finance Committee appoint
ed by the grand jury of the Get. Term
submit the following report to the
grand jury of April Term of Lumpkin
Superior court.
We have examined and checked up
the Ordinary’s books and find them in
good condition. He has issued orders
on the different county fui ds for which
he lias proper vouchers towit:
On county fund $ 172.68
On bridge fund 238.17
On jail fund 136.25
On pauper fund 673 82
We find on the pauper list the. fol
lowing named persons and amounts
paid them per month : Martin llaahaw
$3 per month, Charlie Smith $4 per
month, Mary Grizzle 1 $3 per month,
died Feb. 21, 1904, Jane Ayers $8 per
month, Dortha Sparks $2 per month,
J.J. Grizzle $3 per month, Francis
Turner $5 per month, Alantha Day's
$3 per month., Mrs. Levi Stancil $3 per
.piontii, died Jan. 6, 1904, Mira Gaydon
#3 per month, Sarah Cronan $3
per month, Rachel Williams $3 per
month, Martha Abce $3 per month.
Upon an investigation we find that
the expenses of keeping paupers have
increased more than one hundred per
cent for the last six months. We
would ask the grand jury apd ordinary
if possible to formulate some plan to
.curtail this expense to the county.
We have examined the books of J.
B. Brown, the county treasurer, and
find he has received from all sources
.since last report. $4,334.70 and paid out
on proper vouchers
On county fund $1,897.28
On jury fund 469.20
On jail fund 656.75
On pauper fynd 708.32
On bridge fund 472.24
the conn 1 v ami find, by the best
menus obtainable, that, they are in
ns good it not hotter, condition
than formerly at this season of
the year but we are satisfied [that
they an not what they ought, to
be. W recommend thut the loose
stones I e thrown out and t hose
miseral e water breaks abolished,
and tint t he finger boards and
mile posts bo put up where need

ces the Vends are too narrow and
too shady.
Wo have, through proper com
mittees, Q examined the county
1 property, viz: The Jail and
Court House, and find that they
i are in fairly good condition, and
| the sanitary condition of our Jail
I is ns good as the limited supply t>1
j water w ill admit.
We have rccieved the account ot
our Ordinary, John Huff, for $84 _•
60 and have ordered the same to
be paid,

! tloment with the ordinary, but find
that the tax digest calls for $4,565.50

the fee bill of the code as far as we are
able to judge.
We have examined the books and
records of the clerks office and find
them neatly and correctly kept. We
find they have received on fines and
forfeitures since last court $206.95,
which has'been paid out to the officers

W have examined the pension
mil, and so far as we are aide to
ascertain they are all entitled.
We recommend that the Ordi

bridge at the Jay site, with sub
stantial siohe peers, and above

heart timber or iron, provided
same can be built for a sum not

PAUPERS.
Under this heading we find t hat
since last term of the court our
Ordinary has paid out $708.32.
These figures show two or three
times more money paid out of
this fund than has been paid out
for any similar time for. many
years. We have looked into the
pauper situation Wiith great care
and find that the contract former
ly existing between our Ordinary
and A. D. Jackson (keeper of the
poor house) has in effect been re
voked . We earnestly recommend,
end, if not transcending our
authority, demand that yur Ordi
nary renew the contract above
mentioned at once, for the taking
care of and the humane 1 reatment
of our poor. We further recom
mend that from this date no pau
per shall receive any allowance
direct from the Oruiuary and -no
pauper be taken care of except
provided in said contract above
referred to. And we further
authorize our Ordinary to furnish !
comfortable conveyance to any I
pauper not able, physically, to i
reach the home provided for them, !
and that he also 'furnish comjie-j
tent medical attention to those i
whose physical condition may re-!
*ixiire such attention.
|
We have overlooked the matter
of examining the Registration!
book until it was too late to give
it the attention it demands and
therefore earnestly recommend
the next Grand Jury to take up
this matter in detail.
We further recommend that the
officers, whose duty it is to keep
the Registration books, keep them
lawfully and properly dated, and !
that they also keep a correct de
faulters list alphabetically ar
ranged, so that it will appear in
telligently.
