Board met pursuant to adjournment. Boíl oalled and quorum found present. The Prosecuting Attomey addressed the Board in regard to the liquor tax belonging to the town of Bridgewater and reoornmended the payment of the same. Report was referred to the coinmittee to settle with County Officers. Mr. Oesterlin, from Special Committee made the following report: To the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Washtenaw County : At the last January Session of your honorable Board, you appointed a committee to collect the rnoneys due the County as shortage in the accounts ofjexCounty Treasurer P. G. Snkey, of his bond rnnn. Your committee had two meetings with the Prosecating Attorney, for which they charge per diem as follows : Kugrene 'Oesterlln, 3 days $6 00 $8 00 M. F. Case, 2 days 6 00 6 CO W. H. Dancer, 1 öay 3 00 3 00 E. Ball, 2 days... 6 00 6 00 Frank Durican, 2 days 6 00 6 00 Report adopted Mr. Duncan from Committee on Public Buildings made the following leport which was accepted and adopted. ?o the Honorable, the Board of Supervsors of the County of Washtenaw : Gentlemen : Your committee on Pubic Buildings beg leave respectfully to eport the transactions of your commitee during the past year, relativo to the are of the public buildings of the coun;y. Yonr committee has assem bied on many occasions and the various matters oming before us have' received the paient consideration and all aotions taken y your committee have met. with unaumous approval of your committee. Som e time in the early sprin? of the tresent year it became manifest that the oof of the Court House was in need of onsiderable repair. On examimtion t was found that the paint plaoed Jbereon some two years ago was practially worn out and valueless. After nvestigation yonr committee thought t advisable to close the contraot with be Ravanna Roofing Company to cover be eutire roof with metallic paint for he snm of fifty-six and twenty-five imdredths dollars, which work has been ompleted in apparent good order and is juaranteed to stand for a period of flve rears. Your committee havelaid out and exended on accountjof repairs to the Court lonse other than the item of roofing ums of money as follows : ivetronghs and couductors,Grossman &Sctalenker $ 7 75 Jleanlngcesspool, Frank Howard 15 00 aylng pipe from old cesspool miei cleaniDK pipe from closet, Hutzel & Co 14 40 Ropairing water pipe, FredGeakle 75 íaterial for same.

The new sheriff coming in.it is found that many things had to be repurchased and quite extensive repairs made throughont the residenoe part of the jail. ín obedience to a resolution of this ïonorable Board, yonr committee disposed of the stoneyard.settled the mat;er of the rent thereof with Mr. Kittrdge by the payment of forty dollars and disposed of the broken stone on haud to the City of Ann Arbor, uiueteen small loads at sixty cents per load aud turned the inoney to the Connty CiCik amonutiug tu $11.40.

Beal... 9 65 Kepairing shoes for prisoners, Donohue 3 75 Total expenditures at jail $393 07 Your oommittee have made no expenditures whatever on aooount of the County House, exoept the construction of a new wagon house which was rendered necessary to store new wagons, tools and i'uplements purchased by super intendents. Your coinmittee pursued the usual course and asked for bida for the construction of this wagon house aocording to the plans and size suggested by the keeper of the poor house and superintendents of the poor ; the lowest bid obtained theref or was the bid of John Eiting for the sum of $135. 75 includiug the masonry and carpeuteT wort and ! furnishing all rnaterials. The work progressed in the consruction of thiswagou arjd tooi house until its practical cornpletion when a very heavy wind storm arose and blew the wagon shed down. I Your cominittee recognizing the fact that the plan itself was faulty thought it bnt fair to pay the contractor sornething in addition to contract price for its rebuilding,the additional time in re building toe same being paid for by the day at the usual rates. The wagon and tooi house when completed.S the plan being slightly altered to secure stability, cost, $ 174. 97; cash paid paiuting the same, $18; total county house expenditures, $192.97. The whole sum paid, laid out and ; peuded since your committee was j pointed for repairs at the Coart Hous.e, I Jail and County House is the sum of $714.99. Your committee beg leave to recommeud the constuction of a suitable iron ' "enoe around the prison portion of the iail for the purpose of arresting and preventing communication with persons confined therein. Ii; has come to the cnowledge of your committee that tools and implements for jail breaking as well as intoxicating liquors have been repeatedly passed to prisoners under confinement therein. On accouut of the manner in which the jail proper is constructed, being wholly unprotected, it is not within the power of the sheriff except by maintaining a perpetual ?uard thereat, to prevent these ocourrences. Your committee beg leave to cali attention to the fact and we note with )leasure that all small items of repairs at the Court House, such as was fornierly oontained in our reportas wholly absent f rom this report. This absence s attributable in a marked degree to ;he ability of our very efficiënt janitor who seems able and willing to mend as ie goes. Your committee found it convenient ;o make aud oomplete a full inventory of all of tbe furniture ard personal property belonging to the County, sitúate at the Court House and Jail on the i ncoming of the present county offloials, which inventory is on file with the County Clerk, and the said work and repairs have been done under the personal supervisión of your oommittee.
