J. H. Ham, Ordinary. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 21st day of Feb. 1916. S. J. Foster, Clerk S. C. To the Honorable Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, February Term, Butts Superior Court, 1916. Gentlemen: In compliance with law I here by submit my annual report to your body, as County Commis sioner. The amount of warrants issued on the road fund from Jan. 1, 1915 up to date, $23,730.63; amount of commutation road tax, $1,300. Jackson and Towaliga districts have not made their fi nal returns yet, and Iron Springs. Said amount has n6t been turned over to the County Treasurer, but is in the hands of the County Commissioner subject to the ob ligations of the county. We have the following equip ment for working the roads of Butts county: Felony convicts, 17; misdemeanor convicts, 15; mules 18; horses 2; 3 mule ma chines; 6 dump wagons; 5 two horse wagons; 1 one-horse wagon; 2 buggies; 8 drags; 5 wheelbar rows; 1 gas engine, 30 H. P.; 4 engine machines; 6 dump wagons for machine; 1 scarifier; 1 battery for discharging dynamite; forge for sharpening tools; 2 six-horse plows; 1 four-horse plow; 2 cage cars, 12 capacity; 1 wood car, 18 capacity; 1 cooking car; 2 guard car; 18 head hogs; 12 pounds gas engine oil; 475 pounds cup grease; 4 pounds axle grease; 400 bushels corn; 3,000 pounds mixed feed; 2,700 bushels oats; 1 carload hay; a full supply' of disinfectants. With the supplies on hand we think the expenses will be much less in the year 1916. Oin* roads will compare very favorably with any county in Middle Georgia. The amount of warrants issued on all other funds from Jan. 1, 1915 up to the present, except road fund, $23,798.18. It seems like there is almost all the time some repairs to be made on our public buildings. We are trying to keep them in good condition. You will find the public buildings in better shape than they have been in some time. We have thought best to change our coun ty farm and locate it nearer Jack son. You can examine into the matter and see what you think of the change. Our expenses for the past year have been more than they should have been, it seems to us. It looks like some of our people have dragged us into the courts without a good cause and it has cost lots of mon ey for the county to make the de fense. But outside of this we feel that there has been hut little money spent but what we have is a universal favorite because it is / re Eefresifjmg; Sold only in labeled bottles V You will enjoy its uniform flavor, and the certainty of its cleanliness. Lrahero-Com> something to show for it. If your body wishes to take the time I will take pleasure in show ing you in person where your county has some monument s that will be a credit to her for years to come. I mean the steel bridg es Butts county has over her wa ter streams. To duplicate these steel bridges would cost you to day $150,000; and the amount of culverts in use would cost you $50,000. Please look at the good roads Butts county has, which cost money. But I only wish the good roads may reach the door of every man in Butts county, and I hope to see that time come. Obligations represented in man damus suit, that is, the plaintiffs represented by C. L. Redman, approximately $29,000.00. Respectfully submitted, J. O. Gaston. Cos. Com. Joseph Jolly, Clerk.
