Grand Jury Reports Dooly County Finances and Officers
The March 1896 grand jury finds county books well kept across offices led by J B Scott and the county treasurer. It notes tax totals for 1895, confirms jail, convict camps, and public roads in good order with specific recommendations for bridges and a four mill tax rate, plus repairs to jail facilities and improvements to the poor house. The panel commends officials, requests publications in local papers, and names jurors and officers for future duties.
