eleven more BRIDGES
November Grand Jury Presented Its
Report Saturday Afternoon.
LIST or TRUE BILLS RETURNED
Ignored Bills Made Moro Numerous from
the Fact That Aldermen aud Jus.
ticcs Of tho Peace Make Ont
Their Transcripts Illegibly.

TWENTY-FIVE true bills, sixty ignored
bills, and recommendations favorable
to the construction of eleven bridges
were returned by the November grand
Jury Saturday afternoon, which had
been in session since the Monday pre-
ceding. The number of ignored bills
was increased on account or the illegi-
BILE and careless manner In which alder
man and justices of the peace send In
transcripts.
In their report the jury on this ques-
ton declared themselves as follows:
I'VE are Of the opinion that the work
of the grand inquest could be much
simplified if aldermen and justices of
the peace would be more painstaking in
the making out of transcripts. A num-
ber of cases have come before us, that
have had to be ignored owing to the
improper manner in which the tran
scripts that are furnished to the dis
trict-attorney were made out"
The report suggested that when pris-
oners are brought to the Jail and their
that the clothing be thoroughly cleansed
and disinfectcd before being numbered
and placed in the rack.
District Attorney John II. Jones was
complimented for the painstaking
courteous and efficient assistance rem
dered by him in disposing of the mat
ters that required the consideration Of
the jury.
In reference to the management of
county affairs the report stated that
much credit is due to the county COM
missioners for the satisfactory manner
in which they manage the affairs of the
county. The taxpayers of the county
are to be congratulated upon the fact
that the county prison and court house
are maintained In manner that will
compare favorably with any other prop
erty of a like character in the state, the
expense of the same being reduced to
the lowest possible minimum.
