TO the Hon., the Judge o. We DsstTSct
Court of Neuada, in and for Humboldt
County.
Your Grand Jury, impaneled January
81, 1888, beg leave to report as follows:
We have examined six cases submitted
to us, of which we have dismissed three,
and found three indictments-one for
grand larceny and two for keeping opium
resorts.
We have investigated several COM
plants and charges brought before rs,
and have dismissed all for want of suffi-
cient evidence.
The reports of our several committees
are attached hereto, and are made part
Of this report. Respectfully submitted,
ALEX WISE,
Foreman OF Grand Jury.
To the Foreman of the Grand Jury.
Sir: We, your rommittee, to whom
was referred the inspection of the Sheriff's
office and public buildings of the county
beg leave to submit the following as our
report, to wit:
In the hospital we find at present four
patients. The building and everything
connected Herewith is really credit to
this county. Under the supervision of Mr..
and Mrs. Giles, it is kept neat and clean.
In conversation with the inmates we find
that they are we'll pleased as they speak
highly of the treatment they receive.
The board furnished them consists of
everything any person could desire, and
in our opinion the present condition of
the hospital cannot be excelled.
The Sherif's office is in clean and or.
derby condition, the books are kept in a
systematic manner and show that during
the year 1887 the amount of license col
lected was S., 762 30. We find in the
fee book that the fees charged and col
lected by the Sheriff are in accordance
with the statutes OF Nevada. There
were SO prisoners in the Jail during the
last year. We find in the Jail at present
seven prisoners. The Jail is kept in a
clean condition. We would, however,
recommend that new water closet be
placed therein or the old one repaired, as
we deem it nuisance in its present con-
dition. We would also recommend that
q new floor be put in the Sheriff's office
and the jailor's room and that clock be
purchased for that office. We would
also recommend new floors for the hall
of the courthouse and the Recorders
office, as the old floors are worn out.
We would here call the immediate atten-
ton of the Board of Commissioners to
the unsafe condition OF the courthouse.
We find the building spreading in the
center and deem it necessary that at least
Eve iron rods be put through the build
ing cross ways so as to keep the walls
from spreading any further, three Of
those rods to 60 across underneath the
second floor and the other two under the
ceiling of the upper floor. We would
also recommend that wooden sidewalk
be built from the main entrance of the
courthouse to the front gate.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that the Jail at Paradise Valley i,
not fit for the purpose it is used, and we
would recommend that proper building
be provided. Respectfully submitted.

To the Foreman Of the Grdud Jury.
