Report on Public Buildings
We the committee appointed on
Public Buildings find that the court j
house is very much in need of some
immediate repairs, necessary for the
preservation of the property. We
find several leaks in the roof and
one especially bad one in the tower
v.hieh is causing considerable dam
age to the clock, and will soon ruin
it if not stopped. We recommend
that these leaks all be repaired as
soon as possible. The building needs
painting inside and outside, and it
is necessary tor all the exposed
wood work to be painted in order
to preserve the property. We rec
ommend that this be done and that
all broken glass in the windows be
replaced and other necessary repairs
be done to the sash before painting.
We recommend that the coal and
wood piled on the court house
square be put in basement and the
square be kept clean.
We find the jail has recently been
painted inside and is clean and san
itary, no repairs being needed as
far as we can see.

Report of Commifiioner of Roadi
and Revenues
Georgia, Butts county.
To the Honorable Foreman and
the Grand Jurors of Butts county
now in session, at the February
term Superior Court, 1921.
I, J. O. Gaston, County Commis
sioner of Butts county, respectfully
submit to you and your honorable
body my report as said County Com
missioner for the year 1920, as fol
lows, to-wit:
The amount of warrants issued
on Public Road funds and small
bridges $30,447.96. Amount of
warrants issued on all other funds
$37,462.16. Total amount -of dis
bursement being $67,910.12 for the
year 1920. You will find that the
expenses have been very heavy for
the past 12 months, high cost of
material and foodstuffs, besides we
had two large freshets in 1920
which destroyed practically all of
the wooden bridges in the county. I
expect to buy just as little this year
as possible, and I am certain vis can
run cheaper in 1921 than any year
in the past. Very Respectfully,
J. O. GASTON,
County Commissioner.
