Judge Walters in his charge to the Crane
Jury reminded them that the expenses of the
courts constitute a considerable part of the
expenses of the county, and he therefore urged
them to contribute toward reducing taxa
tion by shortening their session as much as
possible without imperilling the proper admin
istration of justice Since the meeting of the
last Grand Jxry said Judge Waters, the law
in regard to the sale of Intoxicating drinks in
Hartford county has been changed AS to the
propriety or improperly of the law we have
nothing to do. While It is on our statute books
1t is our duty to see that it is impartially ad
ministered. Under our system of government
If 1t shall prove to be an improper law, It can
be easily repealed.
