The grand jury having examined
into the letting of the County Hospital
to the highest instead of the lowest
bidder, find from the evidence of the
County Commissioners that the only
reason for letting said contract TO said
highest bidder by said County Com
~missioners, was that they, the said
Commissioners, believed the interest
of the county to be best subserved by
letting said contract to said highest
bidder. The grand jury find them
selves unable to determine whether
this statement made by said County
Commissioners is in accord with the
facts or not; but, after having the adj
vice OF the District Attorney, believe
that they, the grand jury, are incom-
petent to take any action in the case.
