Ansirs Gan food Condition and
out of Debt-raxpayers Csngrst-
uIated.
To the Honorable A. L. Fitzgerald,
Judge OF the District Court Of the State
OF Nevada: We, the Grand Jury, i'm.
Paneled and assigned TO duty on the 5th
day OF December, A. ID. 1888, by your
Honor. and having investigated all cases
submitted and brought to our notice by
the District Attorney and others, together
with having made a thorough examination
Of the books Of all the public officers, etc.
now respectfully beg to present our 6nal
report.
We have found FIVE indictments, as fol.
lows: Grand larceny, two; felony, three.
We had one case under examination, for
assault TO commit murder, In which the
testimony was insufficient for an indic.-
ment.
BOOKS AND FINANCES.
To the Foreman Of the Grand Jury
~ JONh Nphiiilbttt vi but DOOKs
snd Finances Of the county, have made a
careful examination Of the same, and
found them in a yeIy satisfactory and
healthy condition, and the county free
from debt, an event that has not occurred
IN a number OF years before, and for which
the taxpayers OF the county are to be con-
graduated.
On the delinquent roll for 1886 we found
1895 A still uncollected. This amount Is
due by the q. y. X. II. Company, and
why IL has not been collected we were I'M
able to learn. On the delinquent roll for
1887 we found 81, 1858 rs uncollected. This
amount is due from the Wenban mill, and
were informed that it is in litigation. We
would most respectfully recommend to the
District Attorney and County Commits
sioners that they push these cases to as
early a settlement as possible, that the tax
rolls OF the county may be entirely cleared
Of all delinqueneies.
We also found that there is due the
county from Wm. Mayor, by II. Knight,
surety, for rent Of saloon, $50, and from
Henry Riyes, Esq, $3.50. These amounts
should be Immediately collected and paid
into the Treasury.
On the books Of the Justice OF the Peace
we found hat in 1887 there was collected
s198 95 District Attorneys fees) and in
1888. 1929 81, in the two years, amounting
TO 1913 Is, none Of which. as required by
law, has been paid into the Cousty Treas
ury. We recommend that the Commits
sioners investigate this matter and take
steps to have the indebtedness collected.
During the present year the County
Assessor collected 797 poll taxes. This is
a falling off Of some $50 from the previous
year, which is accounted for by the large
number of persons who have left the
couRty.
Your committee counted the money in
the county Treasury, and found deposited
there S17, 317 in gold coin, which was the
exact amount called for by the books Of
the County Auditor.
The committee visited all the county
offices and found them conducted in a cor
rect and business like manner. In this
connection we will state that we found the
license department Of the Sheriff. Office
conducted on strictly business principles
and with honesty, something that could
not be tr~uthfully said Of some OF the for
mer administrations. Respectfully,

COUNTY BUILDINGS.

Luther Clarke. Foreman of the Grand
Jury-Sir: We, your committee. APP
pointed TO examine the condition OF the
county buildings, beg leave be report that
we have carefully and thoroughly exam
ined the Courthouse and jail, County Hos
pital and sc~hoolhouse. and the furniture
and property attached thereto, and we lind
all OF the above named buildings in a COM
paratively good condition, but for the
preservation and appearance Of said prop
erty we respectfully recommend the fol-
lowing repairs, to wit: ceiling in court
room, repairing water pipe and putting in
waste pipe in upper jail; also cleaning out
the upstairs Jail, repairing some OF the
| shutters on courthouse windows, putting
up ventilation pipe on jail vault or water
| closet, placing new mating at the nns'
landing Of the Courthouse stairs. W.
would also recommend repairs to th'

rooms and furniture Of the County Clerk,
Recorder, District Attorney and Sherif's
offices. We find the county building ad.
joining the Courthouse on the south in
good condition. We also find that the
rent OF said building has not been paid
since last May, and we recommend that
the District Attorney take steps to collect
the same.
At the County Hospital we found that
the iron roof, cook stove, bath tub and
some Of the outside stovepipes are in need
OF repair; also the brick foundation wall Of
the Matron's room is in q bad condition
and should be repaired. We also recon-
mend that two good ladders be constructed
for use at the Hospital In the event of a
FIRE.
At the schoolhouse all Of the windows
are loose, and rattle badly when the wind
blows, and the noise created is q great
annoyance to the teachers, and we earnest
ly recommend hat they be fixed. We
recommend that q larger stove be put In
Mrs. Wendelrs room, and that new zinc
be put under said stove. Also. that the
the blackboards be repaired. The water
sink needs lining, and we would recon-
mend that the same be done. We also
recommend the purchasing Of q book case
for use ia the schoolroom. We were in
formed that the stencil from the water
closets In the Summertime is almost I'M
bearable. We consider this very %injuri-
Gus 10 the health Of the scholars, and we
recommend that the School Trustees
adopt some mean to remedy the evil.
Respectfully submitted,

Luther Clarke, Foreman Of the Grand
yury-Sir: The Committee On Public
Morals ask leave to make the following
report: .
That they have made an examination of
the neral condition Of the community to
the extent that seemed practicable, and re-
greet very much to say that they have not
found 1t in all respects as it should be, as
instance, mention is hereby made OF the
following classes not only Of moral de-
linquency, but even violations Of law, to
wit: Selling Intoxicating liquors to minors,
minors carrying concealed weapons, and

Section 1880; minors carrying concealed
weapons, Section 1914; sale Of cigarettes,
cigars and tobacco TO minors, Sections l

We likewise call the especial attention
Of the officers whose duty it is to enforce
the foregoing laws to the frequent viola
ton Of the same.
Attention is likewise called to the follow
ing law, passed at the session OF the Legis-
lature Of 1887, to wit: AN Act 10 regu-
late houses of prostitution, d~ancehouses
and houses where beer, wine or spurious
liquors are Sold" page 81 of the Statutes

house Of ill-fame shall be kept, rented or
maintained within 400 yards Of any school
house, used by any Of the public schools
in the State Of Nevada, and also that no
hurdy- house. dancehouse, or houses oil
prostitution where wine, beer or spurious
liquors are served or sold by females,

il is to enforce the last mentioned law to a
possible violation of the same On Main

is the case, accompanied by circumstance
of special ~agsravation and of the most re
voting character. All of which is mesi
respectfully submitted.

To the Foreman Of the Grand Jury;
We. your Committee on Hospital, have
the pleasure to report that we have visited
and examined the condition OF the hos
pital and patients. We find that there
are at this time nine patients, all of whom
are well cared for and speak in the high
est terms Of the Matron and the comforts
Of the building. We found that all the
rooms are kept in perfect order and clean;
illness throughout, with good beds and
plenty of bed clothing. We would also
most respectfully call the attention
Of the County Commissioner to the bath
tub, and also to the roof IN the north side
of the building. as we find it has been
leaking very badly. Respectfully sub

THE BR0y RERHOOD OF MAN.

Deeper than sii nse Of seeing
Lies the source Of secret being,
And the soul with truth agreeing
Learns to live in thoughts and deeds
For the life Is more than rament,
And the earth Is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Lite is more than what man iancies,
Not game of idle chances,
But it steadily advances
Up the rugged height of time,
Till each complex web of trouble,
Every good hopes broken bubble
Hath meaning most sublime.
More Of practice, less profession;
More firmness, less concession;
More freedom, less oppression
In the Church and State;
More of life and less of fashion,
More noble deeds, more compassion,
That will make US good and great.
When true hearts, divinely gifted,
From the dross OF error sifted,
On their crosses uplifted
Shall the world most clearly sec
That earth's greatest time of trial
Calls for holy selfdenial;
Calls on men to do and be.
But, forever and forever,
Let it be the souls endeavor,
Love from hatred to discover;
And in whatsoever we do,
Won by truths eternal beauty
From our highest sense of duty,
Evermore be firm and true.
