as Il could be. and we suggest that this
matter receive attention.
The county officers. whose duty It is to
render al account TO the grand Jury Of pub
lie moneys collected by them and the man
ner OF disbursement Of same, have made
their report, which we find correct.
During the present ERIN we have returned
indictments against seventy-five persons, in
sixty.four bills. OF this number forty-four
have been tried, resulting in the conviction
OF thlrty-six and the acquittAl of eight.
The present grand jury being the one
designated by law to fix the compensation
20 be allowed to grand jurors, petit jurors
and the bailiR while in attendance upon
court, we recommend that the sum of 81
per diem be allowed to each during such
service.
liz Is gratifying 70 us to know that an ef-
fort is being made on the part OF the county
commissioner, assisted by the city council,
TO deaden the sound from the heavy travel
on the avenues surrounding the court house
building. Drayton street has been shelled
already, and a great improvement can be
noticed. In regard to improving President
and York streets, we are informed that the
county commissioners desire to await the
time when the funds of the county will
warrant the paving of these streets with as
phalt so as TO conform with Bull street; in
the meantime, however. 1t would not be
amisS to have these streets paved with shell
similar to Drayton street; and we trust that
the next grand jury will have the pleasure
OF reporting this work completed.
since Feb. 2 more than one-halt OF this
body has teen engaged as a special jury
In the trial OF civil cause in this court
This engagement, lasting up TO the very end
OF the term, has prevented US from attend
ing in detail to the examination of the pen
sion rolls for this county, as required by the
n a al he .-f,- b.
this year have already been paid, or are
now being paid. any report from US would
be too late to remedy any evil, and we
respectfully recommend that the matter be
especially given in charge to the succeeding
grand jury.
In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks
and appreciation to his honor, Judge Falli-
CANT. for his very earnest and able charge
to us; and also TO Solicitor General Fraser
for his courtesy and kindness TO us iD assist
ing US TO perform our duties and for his adj
vice in matters Of law that rendered our
duties plain and their execution free from
unnecessary trouble or delay on every day
of our service.
Few, if any. juries ever had their path
way mapped out for them with greater
clearness than this, by his honor, aided by
the solicitor general.
We desire to mention that our baliff, Mr.
Z. Goldman, has discharged his duties faith
fully.
We recommend that this general present
ment be published in the MORNING NEWS
and Savannah Press at the expense of the
county.
