by’s bridge straightened up.

18-inhees above its present height.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the public buildings of
the county in very good condition
so far as we have been able to as¬
certain.
PUBLIC ROADS.
We find the public roads of the
county in as good condition, as
could be expected, considering the
rainy spring and dry summer, ex¬
cept the road leading from city
limits to Irwin bridge, and recom¬
mend that it be put in proper con¬
dition as early as possible.
We recommend the roads
throughout the county be widened
to the lawful width.
PA UPKR FARM.
We find the buildings in fair
condition except the main dwelling
which needs roof repaired on north
side.
We find the farm reasonably
terraced, and in very good fix.
We recommend that the Orchard
be re-set with fruit trees, where
trees have died, and that the or¬
chard be enlarged with 25 or 80
trees.
We recommend that a portion
of the farm be sowed down each
year so as to improve the land,
We find the sanitary condition
of the premisss good. We find 6
inmates; 2 white and 4 colored.
We recommend for cause that
the present keeper of the farm be
removed, and that C. Humphries
be appointed in his stead, at no
greater cost to the county than at
present.
We find the average expenses of
the farm for the past 6 months,
less the burial expenses to be $6.39
per capita per month.

We have examined the pension
list submitted for our considera¬
tion, and as far as we can learn,
find them correct.
We recommend that jurors and
Court bailiffs be paid $2.00 per day
and riding bailiffs $3.00 per day
for the year 1901.
We find on examining the tax
that a number of
failed to return their property at
what wo think a fair value, and
have Been proper to raise the same
to what we think right, aggrega¬
ting to the amount of $22,525.00.
We here-with attach an item¬
ized list of the same and recom
that the tax collector be required
to collect the same as required by
law.

ing committee, W. P. McDaniell
from Town’district, J. T. A. Mc¬
Collum from Honey Creek district,

Ordiuary for the purpose of build¬
ing a vault in the Court house for
the safe keeepiug of the public re¬
cords.

sentments be published in the
coun ty papers and that they be
p a ; d if5.00 each for the same.
