To the Honorable James d. Waters:
We, the grand jurors for Hartford county,
for the September term, 1900, beg to report to
your Honor that we have reconvened aud have
been In session three days. We have examin-
ed Is witnesses. We have made three pre-
sentiments and three true bills of Indictment,
| dismissed one case and continued one case for
the next grand jury.
Ever since the matter of the Baltimore and
| Lehigh Railroad was called TO our attention,
| and We asked to investigate the present con
dition Of the roadbed bridges and trestles with
| q view Of taking such action as might seem
| vestigation we have been impressed with the
importance Of the task imposed upon us, and
with the responsibility 1t involved.
With this in mind, we asked your Honor &c
select competant civil engineer who should
| go over the entire road and make careful in
spection of It's present condition.
80 far as the question of safety or danger In
its operation is involved, such an engineer ha,
been selected and has given us the results Of
his inspection by oral testimony under oath
and also by q short written report made tC
your Honor, and by you submitted to us.
In failing to indict the railroad at this time
| We do not Intend to relieve the railroad CON
psuy from any proper liability In the manage
mcnt and running Of their road. With Ih'
:dence before US, We cannot, Of course, be
lieve that TIVE Baltimore and Lehigh road i
reasonably safe for trains to run over It will
merely ordinary care, aud by ordinary cas
We mean such care as is required on we'll con
structed roads in good repair: but we do be
lieve the rosd may be called reasonably SAT
II all the trains are run with extraoid din ar
care, and by this we mean such extra carr y
is required to guard against the various
fects existing In the road bed, bridges an
tre.t'es Ne understand from various source
that the present management is now age
IN considerable diligence In repairing the mos
obvious defects and expect in very shor
lime to have the entire road IN good and sal
j4haadit!cu.
