Grand Jury Urges Repairs at County Infirmary and Jail
The grand jury visited the county infirmary and jail and found the infirmary well cared for though the smoke house roof needs replacement and a new sewing machine is required. At the jail the kitchen floor and sink need repairs, water works and disinfectant are needed, door bells replaced, and inmates should receive meat for at least two meals daily. The panel adjourned after returning 167 indictments.
