REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
Hon. D. S. Wade, Chief Justice Territory Of
Montana:
SIR:-The Grand Jurors of the County
of Gallatin, Territory Of Montana, beg
leave to report that we have concluded
our duties, and we submit the following:
We find the offices, Jail, court house
and poor farm in good condition, except,
we would recommend further accommo-
dations for the poor, and while we under
stand that the county commissioners are
making preparations to enlarge the pre-
sent quarters, it is the opinion of this
Jury that Il good substantial building
should be erected, rather than to atteml
to patch up the one now in Use.
In the matter of the court house we
! find that the roof is becoming somewhat
impaired, and immediate attention
should be given this, that it may not
become subject of much importance.
We believe, as rule, the county Off
GERS to be dilligent and efficient in the
discharge of their duties, but as matter
of caution we would call attention to the
seeming carlessness or ignorance of JUS
tees of the Peace. From the evidence
and papers brought before this jury it
seems that needless trouble and expense
has been entailed by the injudicious use
of their powers in issuing warrants for
arrest, causing expensive examinations,
binding over and incarcerating persons
without sufficient cause or evidence.
As to the sanitary condition of our
city, we beg to state that we consider it
in as good condition as it would be pos
sil,le to expect under the circumstances,
taking the inclemency of the season, and
the fact of the recent organization as a
CITY. We have confidence in the newly
appointed officers to regulate this matter
as speedily as it is possible to do.
Very respectfully submitted,
LESTER S. WILSON, Foreman.
