final report: t
We have examincd both Clerk's 6

kept as neatly as possible under ex.
Isting cireumats tnees. Both offices
are very much in need of new and
modern furnitime, and the Police Jury
should make provision for thii need,
so that the public books and records e
of the l':irish can be kept as they tl
should be. Ii
Some parts of the Court House are a
very much in need of repair, and es f,
pecially the flooring near the front f
entrance. The jail is kept neat and ,)
clena, and the prisoners had no corn
plaints to make. 'rhe Parish is, how. (
ever, very much in need of a new
jail, it huing alitost impossilble to a
keep the prr ant one in a sanitary n
condition. ii
