Over 22S transcripts Have Already
Been Sent ln..-RepOr;s Msde by the
C0nstab.es OF the County.

The November grand jury assembled

arhitlatiUn room of the court house,
where il was charged by Judge Ed
wards. The jurors were merely IN
struCtcd as To what their duties are
in passing upon cases which come be-
fore them. After the charge of the
court the jurors Went to common coun-
ell chamber of city hall, where they
will be in session the rest o! the week,
except tO-day.
This being election day and legal
holiday, thcre will be no court of any

There are about 225 transcripts 50
far sent in, and not many more are eX-
pected. The November session of the
grand jury is always Il light one.
OF the returns made by the various
constablcs throughout the county only
one of these officers had 1t to say that
liquor WAS SOLD IN MS ulSlfl't Ill WON
tiOn Of the law. That was Constable
Joseph T.. Walkers. of the Eleventh
ward. He reported August Rempe, OF
Cedar avenue, as the proprietor of the
place where liquor Is sold without Il
license. The COnstableS say that it
is one thing to know that there are
unlicensed places ahOunding, but some
thing totally different to secure
evidence TO establish n conviction
when the eases are brought into court.
Constable L. Gilliland, of Covington,
! says that nine index boards are gone in
/ his district In Gouldsboro only part
of the boards are up.
/ Constable John &. Moran, Of the

SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Twentieth Ward Has a Site for q Scho ol
and II Is Sadly 10 Need OF
New Building.

School Controller John Gibbons, of the
Twentieth ward, purchased Two lots at
the corner of Stone avenue and Brook
street. when he was on the board nine
years ago, his pun pose that time being
that ii was Il wise plan to secure de-
sirable location for school when there
was plenty of land to be had and TO
hold il in reserve until the time came
when the development of the South Side
would make more school facilities nee
essary. How well his Judgment was, is
now apparent.
The Twentieth ward nine or ten years
ago was far from what it is today, but
Mr.. Gibbons foresaW that the day
would come when the large area OF un-
occupied land would TEEN with houses.
ii these lots Were not now in possession
Of the board of control it would be a
difficult motter to secure desirable
site without large outlay of money.
The next thing is to get new school
for the ward. Mr. Gibbons has the ca
pacity of undertaking whatever he
starts out to accomplish and he vii,
no doubt, accomplish this much for the
ward before his term expires.
