We, your Grand Jurors, selected, chosen and sworn for the March, 1922, term of Douglas Superior Court, sub mit the following general present ments : There is considerable agitation as to whether our county should do away with convicts due to the financial con dition of the county, and your Grand Jury has gone into this matter thor oughly. We believe it would he very unwise to do away with our convict system at this time, as we have had the heavy expense of carrying them through the winter months and should get hack part of this expense by using them through the summer and late fall months. We believe, however, that tin* con victs can be handled efficiently enough to justify their continuance on. our roads, and that they should he made to do bridge work and all minor re pairs to county property. We find the main building and also the building for colored inmates at the pauper farm to be greatly in need of repairs. Some repairs are being made on the building for colored, and we think this building should be com pleted as soon as possible. The roof on the main building, and also the roof on one of the porches at superintendent’s home, should be repaired. We recom mend that a porch be built on the south side of that main building at pauper farm, as this will protect the building from the weather and will add greatly to the comfort of the in mates. We think it is a reflection on Doug las County that no closets are provided for the inmates of the pauper farm, and we urge our County Commission ers to see that at least two of these are built as quickly as possible. We recommend that the mule shed and the fence around the stockade at convict camp be repaired by the war den with convict labor, at such times when they are not engaged in road work. We earnestly urge our three com missioners to go in a body to the con vict camp and pauper farm and look over these suggested repairs, for even though these buildings are cheaply constructed, we believe there are a great many improvements that can he made at a small cost to the county. We find that the present County Treasurer and all of his predecessors have kept account of only two funds when receiving or disbursing county moneys, that ol genorul and road fund. We recommend and urge that the treasurer separate and keep a sepa rate record of each fund for which a tax levy is made; and that hereafter our County Commissioners plainly mark each warrant drawn on the treasurer, to show, on which fund it is drawn. We recommend to the treas urer that he require all warrants to be so marked before he honors them. It appears to your body that a suf ficient levy has been made to take care of all funds of the county except that If you want first cla«s barber work.go to ,1.
