GRAND JURY REPORT.
LIVINGSTON, MONTANA.
Jan. Z, 1891.
70 the Hon. Frank Henry, Judge of the
Sixth Judicial District.
SIR: Your grand jury having com
pleted it's labors, respectfully submits
the following report:
We have investigated all cases brought
before us, or of which we could obtain
any knowledge, and have decided them
without bias, according to the best of
our judgment.
In view of the fact that three murders
have been committed within nine months
within this county, without the perpe-
traitors being brought to justice, which
IS not only an outrage but a disgrace to
any civilized community, we would sug-
yest that the county commissioners Of
'er liberal reward for evidence that
will lead to the conviction of the party
)r parties who committed said crimes.
We recommend rigid enforcement of
he laws relating to minors frequenting
saloons and their employment therein.
We have visited the rooms of the county
officers; also the Jail and poor house,
and find them in commendable order,
except the poor house, which fails to
meet our approval. We find that Park
county is the owner of poor farm, as a
home for the dependent poor, which
arm is situated some fifteen miles from
Livingston, the county seat; that to OBJ
ain the visits of physician once week
which in some cases is not sufficiently,
will cost in the neighborhood of $1,000
,er annum. Therefore we would re-
pectfully suggest that the poor farm be
old and one purchased nearer Living
ton, where the inmates can have proper
medical attenda ace at much less cost to
he public. Humane feelings for the
oor as we'll as sound financial policy,
7ould seem to indicate this as the most
dvisable course to pursue.
While we find the rents paid by TIE
ounty reasonable, we learn that they
re sufficient to pay the interest on S50,-
90, which sum, in our judgment, would
rect substantial and commodious
ourt house on ground that parties are
illing to donate to the county, provided
ne court house be erected thereon with
a reasonable time.
We can see that the rooms now in use
y the several officers are not conven-
'ntly arranged for the transaction of
nblic business, and that in case of fire
le public records would be in great
anger of destruction from the fact that
le vaults are not fire proof. nor even
orm proof. Public interest demands
le Immediate action of the county COM
issioners on this subject, hence it
GEMS desirable that Park county have
court house of it's own, with nothing
ss than an entire block of ground, in
le center of which said court house
lould be erected, thus making the
uildings and records more secure from
We would respectfully
that this question be re
rred to vote of the people at the next
eneral election.
We would return our sincere thanks
the court and all it's officers for the
,urteous attention received from their
ands during our session.
All of which is respectfully Submitted.

Foreman.
