Grand Jury Report on Bates County County Jail and Facilities
The grand jury finds the jail well kept and fed but urges repairs to flues roof and fence and recommends repainting. It notes an unsanitary closet, endorses the ladies’ waiting room, and suggests the east court house door open outward. It calls for moving the Butler Sewer opening, and deems tax indictments questionable. It criticizes the poor farm as a disgrace, urges sale of facilities, a tax levy, and funds to settle warrants. It requests careful assessments, drainage enforcement, and infrastructure improvements.
