GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF GRAND
JURY OF SCHLEY COUNTY.
OCTOBER TERM 1889.
To the Honorable Court and citizens of
Schley County, we ask to make the following
presentments;
We have examined, through our various com
mittees, the public roads and buildings, and
the books of the different county officers.
The Sheriff’s books, in form and nftilness,
conforms to the requirements of that officer in
every particular.
The books of the Ordinary show that that
officer as far as could be ascertained, is well
up with the business devolving on that office.
The County School Commissioners, having
recieved nor paid out no money since the con
vening of the last Grand Jury, we made it a
point to examine only into the methods of
keeping the books of that office, and find they
are kept in such a systematic way as to show
up the whole working of the office.
The Clerk of the Superior Court's books show
marks of experience and careful attention and
so far as we are able to ascertain are kept ac
cording to all legal requirements.
While the cbirography of a few of the Jus
tices of the Peace and Notary’s Public are
not models of penmanship, yet in each case
we tlnd all entries properly made and in no
ease have we found where an overcharge for
cost etc. was made.
The Treasurer has kept his books in accord
ance to the requirements of his office, and sub
mits the following report.
Amount of cash on hand at last term of
court. $892,03
Amount paid out as per vouchers. $298.65
Amount of commission on same. " 7.46
Total amount paid out. “ 306,11
Amount on hand to date. “ 585,92
The financial condition of the county is as
follows:
The approximate cost of April term court re
maining unpaid. $500,00
Amount of orders issued by Board of Roads
and Revenue for April term unpaid. $389.40
July term “ 324.86
October term. “ 214.17
TotaLamount indebtedness. $1428,43
Less cash on hand $585.92 $812 51
The books of the Boards of Roads and Reve
nues ;have been kept up to the standard in
every particular; and that body submits the
following report:
Amount of orders issued since April 1.
1889. $1111.38
Amount for general purposes. $647.88,
Amount for paupers’ ” 463.50
Total, $1111,38
Number of paupers. 19.
Amount of tax assessed for present year on
State tax. 200 per cent.
Divided as follows:
For General purposes, 100 u
,
“ Publie buildings, 75, 44
Support of Paupers, 25, *4
The Tax Collectors and Rciever’s books have
been kept nest, and are made out in the prop
er form; though a discrepancy in aggregating
the return of the fall tax, occurs to the
amount of nine dollars, w hich was made by
error in addition on the part of the Reciever
but which w ith little trouble can be properly
adjusted. We further find that there is quite
an irregularity in the returns of parties
in the county in giving in their taxes,
some failing to return their property, at what
w T e consider its true valuation, We recomend
that the Reciever be more diligent in the fu
ure to rece ve a more uniform * aluation.
The jail we find utterly useless for the pur
pose intended.
The condition of the court house is needing
attention which it is recieving by the orders of
the Board of Roads and Revenues.
The condition of the roads throughout the
county, are reported good, and all the biidge
es; with the exception of one at Doziers mill,
one across Muckaloe creek near Quebec, and
one at the lower Turnpike, are in good
n-pair,but Hie ones needing attention, with
the exception ot the one at Dozier’s mi l are
under consideration for repairs.
The body recomends that Jurors forfjthe
ensueing year, and the Grand Jury’s and
court’s bailiffs be paid two dollars per day and
that riding bailiffs receive three dollars pe
day. We recomend the presentments be pub
lished in the Schley County News. With the
highest appreciation for conrtesies extended
our body, by his Honor, Judge James M Smith
and our efficient, acting, Solicitor Joseph B.
Hudson, wo subscribe outsolvcs;
