THE GRAND JURY's REPORT.

THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
Pursuant to the duties obligatory
on the grand jury of this court, we
have carefully inquired into and ex-
amined every matter brought before
us, and, having discharged such
duties to the best of our ability, we
beg to report the following:
We have visited and examined
the various public institutions in
and adjacent TO Salem.
The county poor farm at this
time supplies the needs of nine in
mates. We find the comforts for
this class, under the present. man
agement, in just a fair condition
no more,
The records and files of the clerk,
sheriff, treasurer, recorder, and other
officials are orderly, Systematically,
and efficiently kept.
We find that the index to the
county roads is very indefinite and
imperfect, and recommend to the
honorable county court that new
index of county roads be made;
otherwise we find the record book
and indices in the county clerks
office in good form and we'll kept.
The city's prison we find appar-
emily secure, and the building in
good condition.
At the penitentiary we find ex-
tensive improvements in the paint
ing of the building and fixing of
the grouRds. The register at this
time shows 1863 impriscnments. All
seem to have plenty of good whole
some food and only fair amount of
work. And we will say that the
dragging Of the piece of iron, that
the jury's attention has been called
to by some, as punishment, is no
more than just and what is appar-
emily right, under the circumstances.
The state house, so far as COM
pleted, together with its furniture
and appurtenances, is in good re-
pair The books and journals of the
secretary, treasurer, clerk .of the
board of school land commissioners
and other officers, together with the
files, are kept in a neat and salts
factory manner.
The asylum, under its new man.
agement, has been improved in the
way of safety to the building and
inmates in case of fire, and the
water cisterns are being overhauled.
The building, its arrangements and
appliances, are all apparently in
good condition and working order.
The records and files of the institu-
tion are orderly and efficiently kept,
We visited the school for the deaf
mutes and also for the blind. We
find each of these places in good
condition, neatly kept, and all the
conveniences possible for the occu-
pants therein
