NJ. Demange for his devoted services.
NJ. Demange presented NJ. Llborl, who

THE CHAINGANG.
Considerable space is given to the
recent chaingang and rock-pile. These
| We're established originally for the pur-
pose of discouraging petty crimes and to
deter men from getting into Jail, but
the jury find that, in their opinion, they
were established for the purpose OF
making places for few men as guards
Comparisons are made between the
| cost of the rock broken in the jail
yard and that crushed at the State
Prison by machinery. While it cost the
county IS, 1872 to buy and break 1900
| tons of rock, the same quantity could
have been purchased for. 81, 100. The
Supervisors are censured for this con-
| dition Of things.
ROAD FUNDS.
The condition of the road funds is
gone into at great length, and the man
ner of making road repairs is con-
demned. The jury advise that only per-
manent repairs be made, that the put
| ting in of wooden culverts be discon-
tinued and only iron or vitrified stone
be used Various other recommends
lions are made on the subject of road
DOWN ON THE HORRIBLES.
| The jury declares the use of money
from the city and county immigration
funds for Fourth of July purposes
pecially for the "Horribles''-a illegal
use of the money Neither of the bodies
using this $500, say the jury, was en-
gagged in inducing immigration to this
ici, "a
agricultural, mineral, manufacturing or
other resources of the county"
| The "Horribles'' are declared to be a
| useless, meaningless spectacle, which
often approaches vulgarity." 1t is rec
commended that no more outrages be
perpetrated on the immigration fund,
but that moneys for Fourth of July
celebrations be taken from the general
| fund.
SOME CITY MATTERS.
The jury condemns the payment by
the city of $500 for sprinkling the
Riverside road, recommend that the city
compromise with Bishop & Wheeler, its
attorneys, and that the bond litigation
be discontinued; advise that the number
of voting precincts be reduced, etc.
CONtLO S1ON.
! Two indictments were found-against
Samuel B. Sheldon and George. Mat
thews for perjury.
| The jury had been in session l6O days
and taken % necessary adjournments.
The general report concludes with the
usual recommendations for pay for
mileage, clerical work, etc. The fol-
| lowing was adopted.
| THE work of the Grand Jury's ex-
pert, Prentiss Maslin, in examina-
ton into all the records, books and ac-
counts of the county has been most
thorough and searching. His report
| thereon is tabulated in an able and
comprehensive manner and the reader
thereof will experience no difficulty in
| learning the methods pursued by the
county officials in transacting the bust
ness of their respective offices and the
condition of the various funds through
which the finances of the county are
disbursed The Grand Jury can only
speak in terms of highest praise of the
| completeness of the work of its accom-
plished expert, whose report in full is
attached to and made a part of this re-
port.

honor, this 18th day of Maya. d. 1899

OFFICE EXPENSES.


The Grand Jury here goes extensively
into the matter of the purchase OF sup
plies by county officials. and quotes
resolution adopted by the supervisors
directing each county official to keep a
record OF the expenses of his office
1.-The resolution" say the jury, has
been of no effect. County officers have
not kept such accounts. and supplies are
unfortunately ordered without any
regard to the cost or need"
The county officers in 1898 purchased
stationery and office supplies to the
amount of So, 116.OS. (Then follows a
list showing the amount charged to
each Department..
The jury says the entire system is
wrong, and urges that the contract sys-
tenn be adhered to, otherwise rigid
censorship should be exercised over the
purchase of Supplies.
COUNTY ADVERTISING.
A large chapter is devoted to the
matter of official advertising, and fault
is found because certain papers refused
county advertising at rates that were
unsa tisfactory to their proprietors, ana
S2O5.2J is set down as loss to the
paid in 1898 over what the advertising
would have cost at the rates arbitrarily
fixed by the Supervisors.
CNote-While the Grand Jurors ex-
press the opinion that 5000 would
have been ample for what the county
was charged $4,631.32. there is nothing
in their report to indicate that any one
of them would be willing to sell the
county merchandise from his stock for
half what it cost him. 1t seems to be
an easy matter with some men to rec
ommend that others sell their wares al
half price, while they themselves take
good care to charge the ruling rate fol-
all they sell the county, if not a little
more.)
The jury finds that the semi-annua
statement of disbursements required to
be published has not been published
for three years. and recommends thai
the law be strictly complied with.
USE OF TELEPHONES.
Last year it cost the county an aver
age of about 500 per month for tele-
phone service The jury recommends
that all except the Sheriff's and Clerks
offices. be required to use one telephone
TOOlil, ana tndt the NUMBER VI lllStl u
ments be reduced accordingly.
EXTRA DEPUTIES.
A paragraph is given to the matter
of the employment of certain extra dep
uties in county offices, but this doesn't
count now that the Legislature is not in
session. The salaries of the deputies
recommended would have amounted tC
500 per annum.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
A crematory for the incineration OF
city garbage is recommended.
AS TO GAMBLING.
The Grand Jury state that poolselling
keno, faro, Chinese lotteries and other
unlawful gaming devices are conducted
lntimates that blackmail is levied or
the gamblers and says is could be-
converted into legalized license anc
the revenue paid into the city's treas
ury; declares st is a sad commentary
on the efficiency of the laws when the
chief magistrate of a city will admit
that illegal games are carried on, but
that he is powerless to suppress them
and that police officers will tell us they
know of no gambling going on in ths
city, when the fact that they are goins
on is known to nearly every man, wo-
man and child

| have. at considerable Labor made d
tabulation of the expenses of the county
government of Sacramento County for
the year 1898 showing the cost of each
office and department and the nature
of the expense. This is an innovation
in Grand Jury and expert work in
this county, and is an interesting COM
piIation and 1 believe will prove OF
value as no expense account is kept
by the different county officials and
none of them know the exact cost of
maintaining their respective offices. L
do not hold that this tabulation is abb
solutely correct, but it is as nearly so
as the nature of the claims would
permit.
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
Then follows a tabulated statement
of the expense accounts of conducting
