 ON BRANCH JAIL.
 We, the Grand Jury %. Pima Cacaty A. T, now assembled. beg leave to re commend 10 the honorable Board ot Supervisors Of PIma County, the estab- lishment of a branch jail at the town of Nogales, Pima County, for .he following reasons. to wit:
 It has been represented by several prominent citizens of the aforesaid town of N,gsles, and upon investigation by this Grand Jury it was proven to be tue truth, that owing to the insecurity and utter want of capacity Of the build ing at present used for that purpose not less than ten and perhaps more prison CTS have escaped from the said tempor- any jail,
 A few days ago two prisoners that had received trIfi ng sentence ot ten days at NoSsles, had to be brought heTe by rail accompanied by sn officer, to serve out said sentence at the expense aud to the detriment of the couny's ex- hequer; all of winch expense could have been saved, had there been s suitable jail at Sogsles.
 When the aforesaid Honorable Bosri oI Supervisors take 10 consideration the proximity Of the Mexican border and the criminal element generally cougre- Sst,ug ID frontier town, they viii gi oacs zee She gravity and absolute neces. siiy of protecting the citizen of Pins County, uDd especially Of Nogales from an outbreak of saId criminals out of sn insecure and inadequate building, when once arrested and securely housed.

 We visited Judge Meyers CfIice, and after R thorough examination Of the rec ords therein, Ve fad that all tte books, dockets, etc, are kept ID Beat and com. meudablA manrer, and the whole duties 4 toe of .e AT De.ug done aad periO..l .d honestly and OiiicIslly,
 Judge Sooii's office was also visited and found to be in a like condition, tine docket being well kept as tbe law directs and SD far AS your committee can learn the duties of tbe office are honestly and Imparualiy discharged. We also visited the County Coroner's office and all tBe records oi the office acre exarined by Us. We find all of the same regularly kept ID neat, plain enJ e. ymprsbensive manner, and We believe : bat the office has been conducted ID L. ,hir, impartial and honest manner by the present Iucn nbent, E J, Smith. aud we recommend that bOok be fur nisheG the Curoner's office, In which the record of tie flee be kept. as ve are in- | formed that the book ih WLlch the rec ords are now kept is the property Of the | Incum bent, and not of the county. We would further recommend that l Ihe office of City Recorder be filled by | su.le person elected by the people to | flI the same, and that s1ch person shall | n ( be Justice of the Peace; and We | believe that the ofiise of City Recorder l sh uld be segregated from the Justices | lfiice and It will tp the best interests of l the tax payers so 10 do.
