PREsESTIENT or GRAND JURY.
To tie Hoaorable tie .Judges Of M,e Court Of
Ouayter Sessions Of Butler County,:
We, the Grand Jury now in session for the
county Of Butler, through our Foreman, do
present that we have visited the county Jail in
body and inspected the same, and have sum
moned before us a number Of witnesses and
examined them in relation TO said Jail. And
we find sad building very defective for want
Of proper ventilation. We, therefore. recon-
mend that steps be taken Immediately by the
County Commissioners to have said building
properly ventilated And do further recon-
mend that some change be made with regard
TO the separation between the male and female
apartments, to prevent the immoral conyersa-
ton and improper conduct that we ma ls
carried on and practiced between the sexes.
And do further recommend that the Super
yisors Of the different townships be specially
ordered by the Court to repair all bridges and
dangerous places; erect barriers on bridges or
embankments not having the same.
And would especially call the attention of
the Court TO that particular point in Summit
township, the Kittanning road, known as
Stevenson's Dam, and have the proper parties
erect barrier between the railroad and
the public road and also that hand boards be
placed at all railroad crossings by the proper
parties.
And also that we have visited the Court
Room and different offices, and find them in
good condition. FRANK MAXWELL,
Dec. 4, 1879. Foreman.
