STATE OP GEORGIA—COUNTY OP WARE. We. the Grand Jury, sworn and em- pannellcd to serve during the Novem ber Term 1908, Ware Superior Court, beg leave to submit the following os our General Presentments: We have examined, through Com- nlttee and otherwise, into the condi- t of the roads of the county and the Convict Camps and submit herewith four report. Nothing advertises a county more than good roads and we are in hearty sympathy with the good roads move ment and applaud the efforts that our Governor is making to Interest the people of the State in this movement and to this end we recommend that the County Commissioners look into the advisability of paving our roads with Augusta gravel or some hard material, believing that a road so paved would be permanent and cost the county practically nothing for maintenance. We submit herewith the report ot our Book Comlntttee, who have made careful inspection of the records kept by the various officers. We commend to the careful consider at ion of the County Commissioners the advisability of renewing negotia* lions heretofore pending looking to the adoption of a thorough and ado- quate system of tax returns and pro’ perty valuation. It is urged that the example set us by some other progressive counties of the State be followed, in providing a permanent record book for the Gen eral Presentments of the Grand Jury, thoroughly indexed, to be used by each succeeding Grand Jury. The Property Committee has round conditions as outlined in their report which we Incorporate herewith as part of these presentments, as follows: The work being done by the King’s Daughters Hospital in Waycross was reported to the Grand Jury and by In vitation the Jury visited this institu tion in a body. We cannot too highly command the work at this Hospital And feel sure that the contribution of seventy-live dollars per month being made to the by the County Commis sioners Is fully warranted by the sav ing effected to the county In the care and maintenance of the sick and af flicted, and that their action will meet the approval of every voter of the •.minty. Believing that the observance of the Sabbath Day is necessary to the wel fare of our people and that it is at the very foundation of our liberty, prosperity and happiness, and without It’s careful observance we cannot claim the blessings of an All-wise Creator, we therefore call upon our people In every town, village and coun ty district to keep the Holy Sabbath Day and not to violate it's tacrednesi by engaging in any aecular duties or even in any unwanted pleasures. By thus adhering to the mandates of the Divine and Civil law*Bh(dl our people come to that place of and re ligious' greatness that \fiall disting uish us among the counties of our be loved 8tate and insure to us and to our children the blessings of Divine favor both In basket and in store. While It la not perhaps within the prpvlnce of the Grand Jury to go Into a matter such as we now enter, in recommendations, still believing It to be for the betterment ot the morals of our people we unhesitatingly speak cl It.

The thanks of the body are ten dered the Foreman and Clerk, and recommendation made that Ten Dol lars be paid each of them in addition to their per diem. , The difficulties of our deliberations have been greatly lessened by the efficient service rendered us by the Solicitor General, to whom our thanks are tendered; and in taking leave of his Honor Judge T.

Report of Committee on Road and Convict Camps, Grand Jury, No vember Term 1908 With the exceptions in this report, we find upon Investigation, that the roads and bridges in the County are In good condition. The road leading South from Mill- wood needs attention and the bridges between Millwood and Fairfax should be fixed. There are some washes on the road from Millwood to the Satilla river. Attention of the County Commis sioners is called to the condition of the road leading from Manor In a Southeasterly direction leading to u connection with the old train road and to the road between the Obedlab Bar ber place and Clinch county line, with request that they give same attention as early as possible. Also construct bridges near Suwannee and Water Oak creeks. The Importance of opening a public road from the Iron, bridge through the Eighth District to the county un«* to a junction with public road lead ing from Waycross to Douglas is, call ed to the attention .of the'Commission- .rerun.

We found the convict camp and the stockade In Waycross In very satisfac tory condition. In order that proper data may be bad upon which to base an estimate of the expense of maintaining the work of the County Convicts, we rec ommend for the consideration or the Commissioners the matter ot adopt ing a moro thorough record and chock of expenditures and that a record ot tools and equipment be enstallcd and kept up to date.

We recommend that the old closet In Court House lot be removed and discontinue. In our judgment It Is Injurious to publlo health, and we also recommend that the small room in rear of court house be fitted up as a toilet room for use of ladles only. We recommend that the streets around the court house be paved, or at least the side walks leading to the oourt house steps be paved. We find the jail In as good condi tion as is possible to keep It, but It Is entirely Inadequate to accommo date the number of persons that is frequently placed in It and is injurious to health. We recommend that a new jail be built at once on the county lot northwest of court house. We also recommend that a commit tee of five of the present Grand Jury be appointed to act with the county commissioners in regard to building said jail T. J. MCCLELLAN Cham. J. M. BELL. V. C. PARKER.
