GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS
GEORGIA—Mitchell County.
To The Hon. W. V. Custer, Judge
of the Superior Court:
We, the Grand Jury for the April
Term, 1924, having investigated all
business coming under our jurisdic¬
tion, with the aid of the committees
appointed, beg to submit the follow¬
ing:
PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND
PROPERTY,
We find the roads in good condi¬
tion, considering the recent heavy
rains, there being a few wash-outs
which the warden is having repaired
as fast as possible. We wish to com¬
mend the County Commissioners for
purchasing the two tractors and hea¬
vy road machinery as we bebve this to
be the most economical as well as the
fastest way to keep the roads up.
We find some roads too narrow for
best use of the tractors, and we wish
to ask the public to cooperate with the
county authorities by setting their
fences hack so that the roads may be
widened and these machines opeiated
to the best of advantage. We rec¬
oil mend that the two tractors be
kept and operated together as we be¬
lieve this is the most economical, es¬
pecially in case one of the machines
becemes disabled or stuck, thi other
can be used to pull the disabled ma¬
chine out. We recommend that a new
r<>ad. bejmena&.ui) from. Lodges, start
for a half mile east to join other pub¬
lic roads already built. We find the
public buildings to be in fairly good
condition. We recommend that ihe
tables in the various offices in the
Court House be re-covered, as they
are all in bad repair. We find that
the number of mules, cows, hogs, and
goats agree with the auditors report
giving a schedule of this property as
■well as the machinery of various
kinds, all of which is in good condi¬
tion.
P \UPERS. Wo find 14 paupers at
the Poor Farm, all well cared for.
We wish to commend Mr. A. A.
Maples for the capable and efficient
manner in which he attends to the
duti s of his position.
COUNTY OFFICERS’ BOOKS.
We have examined the records and
boohs kept by the Ordinary, the Clerk
of the Superior Court, the Sheriff, the
T.ix Collector and the County School
Commisssioner, as well as the hooks
of the Justices of the Peace of the
vari ms districts, and we find that
sam - are apparently kept according
to law. We have also examined the
books as kept by the Clerk of the
P.oa'd Commissioners and attach here
i.) a report on the affairs of the county
frr the fiscal year ending March 31st,
1924, which was furnished is by Mr.
IV. B. Nevcls, clerk of the Borrd.
Wa call your attention to that part
of this report relative to the proper
filing devices for the Tax Collector’s
< face, recommend lhat these devices
he furnished. We recommend that in
future the annual audit shall include
the affairs of the office of the County
School Commissioner.
We attach hereto the annual re
povt of the County School Commis¬
sioner, also a report of Special taxes
furnished us by Mr. W. H. Taylor,
T. C.
We find that no permanent record
is kept by the County Probate Officer
of those eases that come under his
jurisdiction, ar.d we recommend that
accurate and permanent record be
kept of such cases for the inspection
of the Grand Juries.
Charges have been brought before
this Grand Jury that there were ir¬
regularities in the recent county elec¬
tion, acting under the permission of
your Honor, we have made a recount
of all the votes of the county cast for
the offices in which there was a con¬
test, and our count shows the follow-
