lteport of Grand .Jury,
To the Hon. I. U. McFarland, .Judge of the*
district court of Washington c<*mty.
We, the grand jury, respectfully
>eg leavci to to submit tho follow-
ing report:
Wo are gratified to fiftd our
county in a prosperous, peaceable
and law-abiding Condition, and
suph offensoB as we have found are
mostly of a petty character.
Our scrip being now at almost
par is sufficient proof of its finan-
cial condition.
We have visited and examined the
courthouse, Jail and poor farm.
The former tfe find in such condU
tion as to be unsafe and unfit to
irotect tho records and other pub-
ic papers, and not sufficient room
to accommodate the officers of tho
county. We earnestly recommend
that a new courthouse bo built,
with ample protection against fir?
and other dangers to all public re-
cords, and sufficient room to ac-
commodate all offices ofthe county .
Wo find tho jail to bo kept in a
clean and orderly manner; tb e
prisonors, seventeen in numbbotr,
expressed themselves as well car# d
for as they could expect, tho s c-
curityofthe prison seems to. "be
sufficient Wo also fonnd two It n.
atics. one of whom Is a.white wt >
man, the other a oolored man, aa d
in a sad condition. It is to be
hoped that our stato will in tb e
near future provide ample accom-
modation for all such unfortunal e
creatures.
Tho poor farm, when inspects 1,
was in good condition as to to
fenccs and the main building; tb< o
outhouses are noeding some* Uttln
