JURY PRESENTMENTS
SUPERIOR COURT.
Georgia—Montgomery County.
To the Honorable Superior
Court of Montgomery County:
We the grand jurors, chosen
and sworn to serve at the No
vember Term, 1910, of said court,
ask leave to make the following
presentments:
We have through proper com
mittee examined the books of the
Justices of the Peace and the
Notaries Public of the county and
approved the same, except the
books of the Justice of the Peace
of the 1567th, which were not
presented for examination.
The committee appointed at the
Spring Term of this court to ex
amine the records of the Ordi
nary, Clerk of the Superior
Court, Treasurer and Sheriff of
this county have made their re
port which we adopt and made a
part of these general present
ments, and mark “Exhibit A,”
We have the report of the Tax
Collector as to special taxes
• which we attachas “Exhibit B.”
The Treasurerhas made his re
port to our body which we at
tach to these presentments
as “Exhibit C.” We also have
fiom the Board of Com
missioners of Roads and Reve
nues a schedule of the Properly
of the Pauper Farm, the Stock.
Implements and Machinery of
the department of road work and
append the same, together with
an account of the operations of
the Pauper Farm for the present
year, these statements marked
“Exhibit D.”
We have examined the public
buildings and find them in a fail
state of repair, but reccommend
that small necessary repairs be
made to the jail, which we find
in good sanitary condition.
We find the finances and gen
eral contition of our county good,
with the exception of the matter
of roads and road work, and the
expenses incurred in same.
We respectfully request of the
Board of Roads and Revenues
the dismissal of all free labor
now employed on the roads of
the county, except a Road Super
intendent and the guards abso
lutely necessary to control the
convicts; and, further, that the
entire working force be consoli
dated and worked from starting
points as far as possible, to avoid
the loss of time and expense of
moving. We further request
that the work be done in such
manner as to divide the time of
the force equally, between the
east and west side of the county
as divided by the Oconee river,
taking into consideration the
mileage of the roads on either
side.
We find from the report of the
committee before us that the ex
pense of working roads and farm,
and the interest on the indebted
ness of the county incurred there
by, amounts to more than $24,000
per year causing a heavy bur
den upon the tax payers of the
county, and we respectfully in
sist upon changes by the first
day of January next that wfill
give the desired relief. We find
the present system expensive
and coumbersome because of the
fact that the Superintendent
cannot satisfactorily work the
roads and engage in farming
successfully. Therefore we re
spectfully suggest that a compe
tent man be put in direct charge
of the county farm and be made
responsible for its conduct at a
reasonable salary, for which
three or four salaries are now
paid, and that the Superinten
dent of road work and the con
vict force be entirely relieved of
the farm work and management.
The residence of a capable farm
superintendent on the farm will
easily solve the problem of the
care of paupers which has been
reduced to a very small number.
We recommend that the Com
missioners pay no bills unless
same are properly itemized and
sworn to, and adopt a system of
keeping accounts that shall be
j
explicit and show by proper
■ vouchers its correctness. We
recommend that no more new
roads be granted until such time
as the finances of the county will
: warrant their opening and main
tenace.
We recommend that the Com
missioners publish once a month
■ a complete itemized statement
of the actions of the board,
which shall show the source of
all receipts and the disburse
ments of all funds expended, in
The Montgomery Monitor and
that the publisher be paid SIO.OO
per month for same.
We recommend that appoint
ment of B. F. Palmer of the 16-
91st G. M. District. J. T. Lang
ford of the 1567th G. M. District
and John A. Currie of the 1687th
G. M. District as Notaries Public,
We recommend that the pay
of the jurors and court bailiffs of
this court for the ensuing year
be Two Dollars per day, and that
riding bailiffs received Three
Dollars per day.
We have appointed S. B. Mor
ris, J. R. Carr and T. J. Thomp
son a committee to examine the
records of the various county of
ficers and report to the grand
jury of the next regular term of
this court, and recommend that
they be paid Two Dollars per day
for their services.
We recommend that these pre- |
sentments be published in The
Montgomery Monitor, and that:
the publisher be paid SIO.OO for
same.
We recommend that Ike Elkins
and wife, colored, be placed on ;
the paupers list and be cared for |
by the county.
In taking leave of His Honor, 1
Judge J. H. Martin, we wish to
express the high esteem in which
he is held by our people, for his
fair and vigorous administration
of justice and thank him for his
wise counsel, and his earnest
endeavor at all times to uphold
the.right and punish the wrong.
To our able and courteous So
licitor General, E. I). Graham,
we wish to express our thanks
for his assistance in the complex
matters which have engaged us
at this session, and to assure him
of our high appreciation of his
help, and the high regard in
which he is held by our body.
