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.
