Phoebe, May 2, 1901.
To the Foreman and Gentleman
Of the Grand Jury:
Your committee on Public Records
submit the following;
We have examined the books OF
tho various County Officers as care
fully as the limited time allowed |
aud will state that we found them
all sept up to dlte, and to the best
of our knowledge and belief, reflect
ing the exact condition of the aft irs
OF the county.
We find that the Indigeut fund to
be near one year behind and we
recommend tn It the Commissioners
transfer from the general fund 50 us
to put the seii indi seut fuud on al
el mIity with other funds.
In the matter of INDECENT Richart
Phillips we find from the records
that the said Phillips for more than
two years past been receiving from
the county SIS per month, with adj
dtional allowances at times. We
also frd from information ano
actual knowledge, as follows: Tha,
the said Phillips has family in Utah
also that the said Phillips is now
capable of earning his own living.
We therefore recommend that the
County Commissioners provid,
means for said Phillips to return to
his family in Utah, aud that in tbC
event of his refusal to 20, that he bt
dropped from the iudigent list.
1t has been brought to your com
mittee's notice that Que Geo. Lashe
of Los Angeles California, ha
wrongfully been deprived of certal
lands in Lincoln County, upo
which it seems he has paid his taxes
and which land has been sold fol
taxes and bid in by the County
Treasurer, we recommend that th'
Commissioners retarn to said Geo
Lasher sue forfeited land and thp
the District Attorney proceed agalns
the bondsmen of former Count.
Treasurer N. P Dooloy for such SUI
and expenses Incidental thereto u
would be necessary to reimburse th
county.
