The following is an extract from the
report of the Grand Jury: We have
examined the County Jail and found
everything cleanly kept, and the pris-
oners satisfied with the treatment re-
ceived from the jailor; but we recon-
mend very necessary thing to do, i.
e.. that the Board of Supervisors pro-
vide prison hunks or bedsteads. AS it
now Is, prisoners sleep on the floors,
which, after washing, are damp and
unwholesome. We have visited the
County Hospital, and found there
some thirty patients. The hospital is
kept clean, and the provisions fur
nished are of good quality. The Sisters
of Charity are highly praised by the
patients for strict and kindly attention
to- their wants. We also recommend
that whereas a necessary evil exists In
our midst, with the view of avoiding
the parading of property holders before
grand juries, we recommend the pas
sage by our City Fathers of an ordi-
nance excluding such evils from GER
tain parts of the city, and providing
that If any man or woman rents a
house for such purpose knowingly in
the prohibited part of the city, such
parties shall be brought before a JUS
tice of the Peace and punished.
