The Officers MI CONDUCTING
Business Properly.
THE KGDsCALC1NT n
BROUGHT To A HEAD.
Fine Condition Of the County
Poor Farm.

Your Grand Jury empaneled 70
the term. report as follows:
We have examined all matter
brought before US and have fount
three true bills Of indictments
one for obtaining money under falls
pretcnces: one for arson; one for al
assault with intent TO commit rape
We ignored one bill with the
\ charge of burglary.
No other charges Of criminal
nature were brought before Us.
| We now append the following
! subcommittee report:
| THE sHERIFF's OFFICE.
We have made strict and care
full examination of the monthly
balances contained in the Fee and
License ledgers of the Sheriff of
flee from July first, 1888, to May
first 1886, and find the amounts
paid into the Treasury agree with
the Auditors check.
Your committee after making Il
careful examination in detail OF the
County Register Of License, find
that the amounts collected from
persons required by law to pay IL
cense are correct. We have found
few cases Of delinquency which
had been duly reported by the
Sheriff to the District Attorney for
collection.
DELINQUENT LICENSES.
We recommend that henceforth
all licenses be collected in advance
so that the county finances may not
be made to suffer through delin
quents.
We recommend that the District
Attorney be instructed to vigorously
prosecute all eases of delinquency,
inasmuch as all our taxpayers sub
ject to license taxation should be
alike dealt with.
THE COUNTY JAIL.
We further report that we have
examined the County Jail and find
that its inmates are well served and
that it is in good sanitary condition.
We cannot teo highly commend
Sheriff Crislcr and his able dep
uty. Mr.. IJllrich, for the very able |
manner in which they have con
Quoted the affairs of their office.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CLERK.
This Grand Jury investigated
the accounts and record of the
Clerk and his assistance, and found
them kept in a systematical and
orderly manner.
We fail to note any irregulari
ties during the examination.
COUNTY PHYSICIAN.
Regarding the charges of non
with the law by the
County Commissioners in the en-
ployment of County Physician,
our judgment is that Section 3,l05
Of the Compiled Laws Of this
State, Vol. 2, has peculiar legal
coloring and can, when SO wanted,
and in the hands of ingenious law
yers, be made to fit the case on
either side as urged.
This matter has been brought,
quite persistently, before several
prior Grand Juries, and in our
Judgment ought now to be set
led. !
1t is to the best interests Of tax
PAYERS that matters Of controversy ,
# this character be examined into
more fully for tho pu5iic good and /
without prejudice by the County 1
Commissioners. and not allowed to {
un into years Of serious contro-
ersy, when by fairly centemplat /
ng the case and giving fair play all
ound, it would cease to be an OBJ t
ect of contention, and the medical h
are and attention of our County f
ndigents be had with no dissatis- f
action and at no greater cost. e
Therefore this Grand Jury recon- r
lend that the County Commits p
toner's Gin the appointment and b
of q County Physi
lam submit the matter to adver- {
sed or open bids in the future, d
nd VIC think this course, if per- t
ued, will not only give great salts t
action to taxpayers, but will also b
ettle an aggravated point under
