Grand jury Report,

Grano jury Report.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county,
The grand jury for the September
term of nineteen hundred and one,
respectfully report that they have
carefully examined the witnesses in
investigations of various cases, and
complaints brought before them, and
they have, wherever the evidence
with a due regard to the circum-
stances in the premises appeared to
justify, found presentments, and all
such cases as they deemed either of
a trivial nature or inadequately sus-
tanned by facts have been dismissed,
and the witnessed discharged. Our
work has been greatly lightened and
assisted by the counsel of the States
attorney, and the attention of other
court officers. But we regret that
we were delayed by not being able to
get witnesses, and we find number
who were to appeal before us were
not summoned.
We have visited the county Jail and
also the offices in the court house and
found everything in good condition.
But we are impressed with the great
need of new buildings. We heartily
recommend the building of a new
modern court house and think that
it would reflect great credit to the
citizens of Garrett county, besides
being in our minds necessity.
We found the jail in clean and COM
Portable condition, but consider it
too Anticipated and small to be used
as a Jail, and certainly think a new
and properly constructed Jail build
ing very much needed. We found
the treasurer's Office in good order
and books well kept, but we consider
the room too small. The commits
sioners' Office is in good order, but
we also consider it too small for the
use of body of commissioners. The
office and vault of the orphans court
was also in elegant condition and we
think the manner in which the books
and papers are kept reflects great
credit. We found the clerks office
also we'll kept, and the vaults in
which the books and records are
kept to be in fine condition. Also,
we were impressed with the fneness
of the records and the system used in
their keeping.
In connection with all the above
we heartily indorse all the recommen-
dations of the grand jury for the
March term, 1901, and desire to call
the attention of the county commits
sioners to their failure to carry out
the matters as recommended by the
said grand jury. We also desire to
call the attention of the county COM
missioners to the fact of the general
bad condition of the county roads;
we have been informed of this fact
by number of citizens; also to the
fact of roads being INSTRUCTED by
fences and timber, &C., making them
nearly impossible at many points.
We would thank all the officers in
charge of the offices and jail for their
kind attention to us in our inquiry.
Having now discharged all duties
known to us as jurors, we pray that
your honors dismiss us from further
attendance.
