Georgia Enterprise
Spring Term, 1869
     The Jury after a careful examination of the various interests of the 
county find them generally in good condition.
     The Public Records we find correctly and neatly kept, and the accounts and 
vouchers of the Treasurer accurate.
     The Public Records are in good condition except the outside Lock on the 
Jail.
     We find it necessary, however, to call the attention  of the proper 
authorities to a few exceptions to the general condition.
     Some of the roads are without commissioners and in some localities in very 
bad order.
     We respectfully call the attention of the Mayor and Council of Covington 
to some of the streets leading from the place.   
     We recommend that the Bridge known as Brown’s Bridge be immediately 
repaired.
  We recommend that T. Camp be paid twenty-five dollars for repairs made by him 
on the Bridge known as Bagby’s.
  We recommend that the Ordinary make an effort in connection with the proper 
authorities of Butts County to have a Toll Bridge built on the county line at 
the place known as  Man’s.
  Also, that the Ordinary keep up at the expense of the county the Bridges now 
kept up on the main Roads, and to permit parties to build Toll Bridges at any 
other points they may desire.
  We recommend that the Ordinary levy a tax necessary for Jury and other county 
purposes.
  The Jury take this opportunity to express their thanks to his Honor Judge 
Green, and the Solicitor, for their uniform kindness and courtesy to this body, 
and the efficient manner in which they have discharged their duties.
  Resolved, that we request the city papers to publish these Presentments.
