AAoHVfetotf NNNt'
County:
The Grand Jurors of the State of Maryland for
the body of Cecil county beg leave through their
foreman respectfully to report that they have
been in session for two days during which time
they have examined nine constables and ten wit
nesses. Have made one presentment and found
for want of evidence.
ind a of tpod
of stations are violating the license law, the
names of whom have been given to the States
Attorney.
We visited the Jail in q body and found the
prisoners comfortably provided for and heard no
complaint from any of them. The sewerage and
plumbing of the Jail are in bad condition and
need immediate attention. A committee appoint
ed visited the Aims House and Insane Asylum
and found everything in these institutions con-
Quoted with the closest regard to efficiency and
economy, and under the judicious management
of Messrs Everett and Steele doing good work.
They reported the care bestowed the insane
and paupers and the humanity and kindness
displayed toward them as matter or comment
with all the members of the committee.
We recommend that the yards of the Insane
Asylum be enlarged and shade provided. Wealso
suggest that it would be well to provide two or
more fire plugs to connect with the tanks together
with proper supply of fire hose. We feel con-
vinced that there have been encroaehments on
the streets in the town of Perryville and have
requested the States Attorney to investigate the
matter and notify the parties and if necessary to
institute proceedings against the parties.
