5, It is recommended that the >
Houston County delegation to the ;

ary rate of $1,800.00 per year for j
Houston County Coroner.
6 It is recommended that the
Houston County delegation to the i
General Assembly take necessary i
action to increase the salary of the ,
Solicitor General from $200.00 per
month to $300.00 per month. ,
7. It is recommended that every .
effort be made by county officials ;
to insure that certain owners of ,
mobile homes file tax returns, spe- j
cifically in areas of the county ,
which are not within a municipali- ]
ty. It is further recommended that
the health department exercise
close scrutiny to insure adequate ’
sanitation facilities of mobile’
homes. !
8. It is recommended that con- 1
sideration be given by the Court 1
wherein in the future the foreman !
from previous grand jury or his 1
designated appointee will be avail- 1
able to the succeeding Grand Jury I
at the call of the foreman to in- 1
sure that recommendations made ;
by the previous Grand Jury are
understood by the succeeding
Grand Jury in order that appro- [
priate follow-up action to prior
recommendations can be made. '•
9. It is recommended that the ;
board of Commissioners of Roads 1
and Revenues make an exerted es- 1
fort to more closely investigate 1
all applicants for beer licenses, *
specifically wherein license previ- \
ously issued at a location has been
revoked by the board of Commis
sioners. 1
10. An inspection was made of I
the office of the Clerk of the ;
Court and was found to be in good \
order. However, adequate storage
space is not available and every :
effort should be made to provide
additional space to this office.
11. An inspection was made of ;
the tax commissioner’s office, the
ordinary’s office, and the office of
the welfare department as well as
the health department and the
sheriff’s office. These offices were
in good condition with adequate
space, and facilities.
12. The office of the county
school superintendent was inspect
ed and it was determined that this
office is in dire need of additional
office facilities and space in order
to appropriately execute the duties
incumbent upon the county school
superintendent.
13. An inspection was made of
the Houston County public works
camp, and this Grand Jury would
hke to commend Warden Pollock
tor the outstanding manner in
vmch the camp is being operated.
•The facilities are adequate, clean
and well maintained.
14. An inspection was made of
the Houston County jail and it was
determined that the present jail
facility is entirely inadequate and
out ated. The area used for con
finement of prisoners is unsani
tary the facilities are very crude,
and the food given to the prisoners
is considered inadequate in quan
tity and quality. The family quar
ters on the first floor of the jail
arc m a bad state of repair, the
Jutcben is hardly adequate in size
ana .acilities to accommodate the
jai.or and his family and certainly
entirely inadequate for prepara

tion of food for prisoners. It is re
commended that the board of Com
missioners give serious considera
tion to building a new and ade
quate jail.
15. An inspection was made of
the City of Perry jail facilities and
this Grand Jury would like to
commend the officials of the City
of Perry for the provisions made
in the new city hall for the con
finement of prisoners.
16. An inspection was made of
the Houston County Hospital at
Warner Robins and it was found
that housekeeping was satisfac
tory in view of the overcrowded
conditions, averaging 113 per cent
occupancy. Action had been taken
to correct maintenance discrepan
cies or would be accomplished dur
ing the expansion program. We
recommend to Houston County re
presentatives that every effort be
made to have legislation passed to
exempt hospitals from payment of
state sales tax on operating sup
plies which exceed $5,000.00 an
nually. We find this hospital is
being run with efficiency and we
note that close follow-ups of debts
is being taken, wherein bad debts
amount to only 6 per cent.
17. An inspection of the County
Office buliding in Warner Robins
revealed the following discrepan
cies: From observation, very little
if any preventative maintenance
was being accomplished. These
were evidences of roof leaking in
two places, cellotex was falling in
several places, excessive trash was
in the storage rooms, floors were
in bad need of cleaning, walls need
cleaning and/or painting, includ
ing the entire inside of the buijd
ing. It is recommended that clo
ser supervision of this building
be had and (hat immediate action
be taken to eliminate the above
discrepancies.
18. An inspection was made of
the County health department of
fice in Warner Robins and all re
cords were maintained in a very
satisfactory condition. The facility
had been well maintained and ser
vices rendered by personnel had
been commendable.
19. An inspection was made of
the Warner Robins jail which re
vealed that the building was in
very bad condition in addition to
being too small. The plumbing in
the building was bad and three of
the commodes have no seats. The
heat in the building is not ade
quate, no cooling is provided, no
chairs in the cell, the bunks are in
bad repair, lighting is not adequate
and office space is inadequate.
The walls in the building are in
very bad shape. All of the bricks
over the front door and the front
walls are crumbling. Twelve bunks
are placed in three small rooms
and it should be noted that wom
en prisoners are placed in cells
next to cells occupied by male
prisoners with no wall between
them, only bars. The food provided
for the prisoners is adequate and
well prepared. Notwithstanding
the inadequacy of the facility,
everything was clean and in good
order. A very good file system is
in operation, however, adequate
space is not provided for the staff
of the police department, there is
no room or desk available for the
use by the officers to make out re
ports and/or accomplish interro
gations and conferences with visi
tors to the jail. No rest room facil
ities are provided for the officers
and the clerk; in addition there
are no rest rooms available for
public use. It is recommended that
the city of Warner Robins take
necessary action to construct a
new jail with adequate facilities
for prisoners and staff of the
Warner Robins Police Depratment.
20. The County Commissioners
office was inspected and books
were found to be neat and well
kept. Review of records for the
first six months of 1964 indicates a
possible increasing trend toward
county purchases from business
firms owned by county commis
sioners. We recommend purchas
ing procedures be established
whereby these purchases be made
on a competitive bid basis and/or
divided between other establish
ments in Houston County engaged
in similar business. We further
recommend when bills are present
ed for payment, that proper vouch
ers or other documents be pre
sented to substantiate expendi
ture of funds from county treas
ury. This policy should also be fol
lowed on pay vouchers for trip ex
penses and other similar expendi
tures by county officials. In re
gard to county water system, we
recommend close surveillance be
maintained to insure proper con
struction, maintenance and opera
tion of these systems.

ture grand juries which inspect
the county-owned facilities accom
plish these duties at the beginning
of their term in order that ade

tions can be made during their

Cocke Addresses
Ft, Valley Club
FORT VALLEY Erie Cocke
Jr., candidate for Congress, told
the Kiwanis Club that Fort Valley
is a perfect example of how a city
can prosper in both agriculture
and industry.
“On the onehand,” Cocke stated,
Peach county is named and stands
for abundance in peach crops,
while on the other hand, Bluebird
school buses are famous the world
over.”
Cocke told the group that the
3rd District has much to be proud
of in their industrial progress,
but cautioned against “resting on
ones laurels,” suggesting instead
that “development in all facets of
industry should be a perpetual
goal”,
“Securing new business and ex
panding our industries in the area
will not come about by accident,”
Cocke asserted, “It’s a technique
that requires both knowledge and
experience in making contact with
and dealing with industrial and
governmental outlets on a national
level.”

Rambler Classic 770 "Cross Country” Station Wagon
Year's best savings on a best-selling wagon!
Rambler's Year-End Selling Spree is on now. Even during the
regular selling season you could save $240 or more*
over a top-size Ford or Chevrolet. Now you may save even more
because Rambler dealers are really dealing to clear the decks for
the '6ss. You get smart, sporty looks and more V-8 power
than the standard V-8 in a Ford or Chevrolet wagon. With Rambler,
too, you get Double-Safety Brakes, Deep-Dip Rustproofing, and
other advantages you can’t get on the other two best-selling wagons.
Live a little—with your savings, choose from sporty options like
reclining bucket seats, console, floor shift (manual or automatic),
power steering, power brakes, power windows... and lots more.
Drive a Classic wagon to see how much car you’ve been missing.
♦Comparisons based on manufacturers' suggested retail prices for
top-line 4-door wagons with V-8 engine, heater and front seat belts.
