HONEST CONTRACTORS. - We

Advertisement
In the District Court, County of
Yuma, Territory of Arizona.
TO the Hon. DeForest Porter, q. s.
District Judge, Second Judicial
District.
The Grand Jury, organized for
the December Term, A. d. 1875,
respectfully submit the following
report:
We have examined as thorough
ly as possible, Into the condition
of the various offices and build
ings of the County, through COM
mittees and in body, and found
the offices of the Sheriff, Probate
Judge, Treasurer, Justices of the
Peace, Coroner, County Recorder,
District Clerk, District Attorney,
and Public Administrator well
kept and in good order, except
ing that of VIM. II. Tonge, JUS
tice of the Peace. The Docket of
said Justice of the Peace, shows a
general loOseness and incOmpe-
tency on the part of VIM. III.
Tonge, in the keeping thereof,
and is defective in failing to show,
in many instances, the fees re-
ceived by the Constable for SER
vices in various cases and we re-
spectfully deprecate the prac-
tice which has been pursued, in
allowing the Constable being a
party filing the complaint and
principal witness, to draw double
fee, as both Constable and inter-
prefer. Said Docket also shows
that, irrespective of such COnsta-
BILE fees, the County has paid for
fees occurring in different crimi.
nal cases, since the 1st day OF
January, 1875, the sum of S401 20
and has received for fines, &C.,
the sum of SCI 81, leaving a bal
ance, as against the county of
1899 20. We believe that much
of this expense could have been
avoided by restricting the allow
ance of fees in the matter of in
terpreter, and by the said Justice
of the Peace, having q more con-
scientious sense of what cOnsti-
tutes the careful and honest adj
ministration of the duties of his
office.
The Grand Jury ara of the OPT
Mon, also, that the members of
the Board of supervisors have
been careless and Geralict in their
duty in the matter of the admiS-
sion of claims of fees made by
acting District Attorney II. n
Alexander and Constable O. F.
Townsend, and believe that the
County has been unduly taxed in
payment of fees not justly due
said parties, and also recommend
that the present District A ttOrney
examine into the matter and take
all necessary legal steps to dis
cover if there has been any crimi-
naIity on the part of any of these
parties, and if so. to do his duty
in bringing them to justice.

BALANCE ON HAND

This Grand Jury, through Com
mittee, visited the Public School
of School District No. 1, and are
much gratified at the grand show
ing made them, ascribing great
deal of credit to the management
of the affairs of the school. The
average daily attendance of schO-
lars last month was Seventy-five,
and the attendance is increasing.
We think the school house, in its
present condition, is too small for
the number of scholars, and lily
ventilated, and recommend to the
proper authorities that the parti-
ton between the main room and
the hall be taken down. In the
opinion of the Grand Jury, the
hall, which is unusually large, is
of no use for the purpose of the
school, and takes up room that is
really requisite for the comfort
and health of both teachers and
scholars.
Our thanks are due to his Honor
and to the various county officers
for their kind and attentive con-
sideration of the wishes of this
Grand Jury; to our Foreman for
the exceeding courtesy and ex-
cessive ability with which he has
performed the duties of his Office.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The following is the report of
the Grand Jury of the late term
of the District Court, published
as ordered by the Court:
In the District Court, County of
Yuma, Territory of Arizona.
To the Hon. DeF0rest Porter, y. s.
District Judge, Second Judicial
District.
The Grand Jury, organized for
the December term, 1875, respect
fully submit the following report:
We have found one true bill for
murder and ignored six bills. We
have also examined, as thorough
ly as possible, into the condition
of the various offices and build
ings of the county, through COM
mittees and in body, and found
the offices of Sheriff, Probate
Judge, Treasurer, Justices of the
Peace, Coroner, County Recorder,
District Clerk, District Attorney,
and Public Administrator we'll
kept and in good order, excepting
that of Justice of the Peace.
We find that the present Consta-
bles of the town of Yuma, are so
fastened by their daily occupa-
tions as to be unable to perform
the duties of their offices properly,
and recognizing the necessity Of
having a Constable who can con-
stantly be on duty in the preser-
walton of good order and the peace
of the community, we recommend
that the proper authorities take
the necessary steps to remove the
present Constables and make new
appointments.
The Office of the County Re-
corder, in our opinion, needs a
a safe or vault for the safe-keep-
ing of records and valuables, and
several of the most important re-
cords are kept in books entirely
unfit, through size and want of
strength for such purposes. We
respectfully deprecate the practice
which has been followed, of leav-
ing wide spaces between the re-
cords, simply for the convenience
of commencing a record on a new
page of the book, as leaving room
for much possible fraud.
The condition of the County
Treasury-and we consider it a
very healthy one,-is as follows {:
