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. R. P. Newton. J. W. Maddox, J. C. Jones, committee.

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.
