Grand Jury Presentment.
The (.rand Jury, chosen and sworn
tor the “second week of the September
term, 1876, of Gordon county, Georgia
also the November adjourned term
make the following presentments :
W e find the road3 in good condition.
y e hear some complaint in regard ltd
the free ferric?, as to the ferrymerffand
especially at Fite’s ferry, on Conasauga
river. We would recommend the coun
ty commissioners to see to the repairing
of the flat and the grading of the banks!
Also that the ferrymen be more prompt
in the performance of rheir duties. We
f uHy appreciate the convenience of free
ferries and hope the county commissi n
ers will continue them for the year 1877
and keep them in good order. We con-
JiUr with the jury of the first week of
September term in regard to bridges,
and would call the attention of the com
missioDers to the unsafe condition of
Aesbat s bridge across Saliquoy creek ;
also of Lovo’a bridge, it being iu very
bud condition.- Some of tHfe sleepers
rotten and, others broken. We would
•recommend that the commissioners see
that all bridge contactors keep them
in safe condition
We. think a change neccessarv on the
road from Calhoun to Rome, near Ooth a
caloga mills. The bridge across the
ditch is dangerous where the new road
intersects the old one on top of the hill,
40 or 50 yards east of where it now d>es.
We fully agree with the jury of the
first week calling the attention of our
Representative to the propriety
of giving criminal jurisdiction in all
minor offenses to the justices of the
peace in their respective districts. In
our opinion it wuu'd be of great con
venience to the citizens iud saving of
time and money to the county. We have
examined the diff rent offices of ordina
ry, clerk and sheriff and find their books
neatly kept. We have carefully exam
ined into the financial condition of
the county for the years of 1873, 1874,
1875, 1876, taking each year separately
aud getting from the tax digest and the
report of the tax collectors all of which
amounts the tax collector informs us he
has paid into the county treasury except
for 1876. The insolvent list -as given
to us by the collector being deducted for
each year. Then we ascertained from
the books of the county board the
amount collected by the board and paid
into the county treasury.
Then wc ascertained from the books
of the ordinary and county board, the
amount of orders drawn upon the coun
ty treasury in the above slated years,
and from the minutes of the .Superior
Court all orders drawn for expenses of
that eouit, thereby get a full and com
plete statement of all monies ex ept
probably a snail amount paid in by
clerk of the Superior Court ('or jury fees,
Ac., and by ordinary and county board
from retail and quart dealers as well as
fr all farms of orders drawn upon the
county treasury during these years, a
full statement we give below as fol -

as they may deem necessary and proceed
to have the funds all accounted for.
We would fuither recommend that
