Grand jury Report.

To The Honorable Z. J. DeInnv,
Judge Of the Eishth District Court
Tie Cs.oj jury empanEe.!ed .9r
this SESSION OF your Honorable
Court, beg 20 present this report Of
their proceedings.
TIE Grand Jury has earnestly
and diligently inquired into TIC
Criminal Status Of the Parish, and
from the Information obtained from
witnesses, arc able to state that 4:
but few serious violations OF tle
the criminal laws have occurred,
ard would farther state, that the
grand jury Gavo special inves::ga-
tior 10 tncs9 matters. to whtch voGr
''Ion0r" called our attention. The
grand jurv begs TO submit thci.
action and report Upon the follow
ing;
iICEN5Es.
On tie subject Of Licenses"
whilst Il may appear that each
dealer in liquors has violated the
law governing the sale o. liquors,
we declined to find generally true
oilts for the following reasons:
lot The Police Jury In our opin-
ION has been the sole cause Of such
apparent violation Of the status:
in this, tha. ai, licenses expire CT
tEe last day Of each year, and il
was the bounden duty Ct tic Police
Jury TO have the FaTisll Licenses
printed n ample time. TO DC placed
in the hands Of the Sheriff on thC
ist day OF January, that the
Licenses may re paid as tie law
requires oaG not one month snbse-
QGcGt.y, thereby compelling par.
tai cessation in the business Of
Merchants or placing them in q
situation 10 be indicted if they
should Sc! liquors without said
License.
2Ei In .Ae consequence o. TIC
negligence above stated, and the
law as app.,eGtot the State Licenses,
they not being delinquent until
april, the dealers IN liquors be.
!ieycd that the same period was
allotted for the payment Of Parish
Licenses as fog The State: and IL is
the conviction Of this Grand Jury,
that there was no attempt intent
to evade the payment Of the liquoI
license, and we took action CT only
two cases, one IN to the time of ,llt
assembling OF this body, no license
have been issued. and tie other
paying same after opening c. TIL:
court.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

In reference 20 the requirements
Of the Parish in the nature Of Pub
lie Building, we state what is a
palpable fact, that the valuable
records OF this Parish are daily in
jeopardy Of loas-e!ther accidentjy,
by Gre or thro' the malicious act OF
an individual, who may be inter-
csteI in the destruction ofthe same,
We recommend 10 The Fpiico jury,
that they erect as soon as pFacti-
cable, fire proof building for the
clerk and sheriff, provided with
suitable iron safes, for the proper
preservation of the records.
The erection of 4 jail, in ous
opinion is essential, no community
can have crime suppressed without
a suitable place for the confne-
ment CT yiolators of tie law. AS to
the ability OF the Parish to con-
s.guct jail, we are Of the opinion,
that the Police Jury can without
great detriment to the Parish, have
said building erected, and we urge
upon the Parochial authorities,
that they give the foregoing their
earnest attention, and submit again
to the tax payers the question OF
the erection Of tic two buildings
before mentioned.
We have had laid before us the
cost of the keeping and transport
of prisoners back and forth to
Rayvil,e, and take the cost OF
fifteen prisoners, from DC. q, 1884,
20 May 5, 1855. The parish paid
on said prisoners $50 l5-100. The
expense of mileage, Railway fares,
excessive board 90 cents per day.
amount 10 $3.50, SO making the cost
of keeping prisoners at Rayville,
moro than 25 per cent greater than
if incarcerated in prison belong
ing 20 the parish.
We admit that there is a great
necessity for a building suitable for
holding the sessions OF your Hon.
orable court, but at present we are
of the opinion that the Parish can
get along quite well with the build
ings heretofore recommended.
FARocHIAL OFFICERS.
/ The attention OF this body, has
been called to solvency of the Of
fetal bonds of the officials OF this
Parish, we refer the matter to the
consideration of the Police Jury.
FINANCES.
We have made diligent inquiry
into the financial status of the
Parish, and from statement made
by the Parish Treasurer there is
some SS000,00 on hand against
which is the unpaid balance OF

TIE GALLEGo MILIs-A bill was filed in the
Chancery Cont of the city of Richmond on Satur-
day, by A. Y. Stokes and George W. Allen, who
sue for themselves and other creditors OF the
Ga!cgo Mills Manufacturing Company, praying
for the appointment of a receiver to take posses
sion of all property belonging to said company
and operate the mills, and that the Court at the
proper time order the sale Of the property, or SO
much as may be sufficient to satisfy the claims of
all tic creditors. The bill sets forth in elaborate
detail tho financial condition Of the company and
that its Indebtedness is 50 great and Of such
character that it is unable to give any hope Of
ultimate payment; and, further, petitioners de-
clare that the company is wholly without money
and without any assets whatever outside of the
property embraced in certain trust deeds, made
within IL years, which DO converted into
money or upon which money can DO raised, and is
absolutely without credit, and therefore unable to
carry on operations. The aggregate liabilities Of
the company arc plsccd at S676,4O0. In answer
to the prayer of petitioners, Judge Holiday ap-
& Co, receiver, to take charge of the property and
operate the mills, subj ect to such orders rs the
court may from timo to time make for the full
protection and ultimate security of tho interests
of said company and OF its creditors. The Gallcgo
Mills arc among the oldest in the country, the
original plant being made nearly 100 years ago.
The mills have been destroyed by fire several
times, the last time being ut the evacuation Of
Richmond. They were soon rebuilt On scale Of
greater magnitude than ever, their manufacturing
capacity reaching 300 barrels Of flour per day.
The entire property probably is now worth over
a million dollars.
