Grand Jury Report.

Hon. NJ. KENYON:
The Grand Jury organized and
empanelled for the ApriIterm of the
District Court of Lavaca County
uIsy leave to submit the following
1ssNesA~a ~ :.
~ We haye carefully Investigated
and considered all violations of the
penal laws OF this State, reported to
us occurring within our Jurisdiction
and as a result of our labors we
have presented SO true bills ofindict-
ment, of which number 10 are for
felonies and % for misdemeanors.
We congratulate the officers and
citizens of Lavaca county generally,
on the fact that there has been a
marked decrease in the commission
Of crime in this county.
We have inspected the county
court house the county Jail and the
county poor farm. The court house
we find to be in a most excellent
condition, we'll cared for by the
courteous and painstaking janitor,
Mr.. William billiard, whose motto
seems to be cleanliness" and whose
ambition is to please and accommo-
date. The county Jail is in need of
some slight repairs on the in
terror, but is in good condition gem
orally. The inmates express them
selves as being entirely satisfied
with the treatment received by them
at the hands of those who have them
in custody. The management of the
A county poor farm is all that could
be- desired, the buildings and
i premises we found to be in splendid
condition; the building occupied by
the manager, however, is not large
enough to accommodate himself and
family and we would recommend
that an addition be made thereto.
We unanimously extend to our
worthy and efficient district attor-
| ney. the Hon. j. P Ellis, our sim
cerest thanks for the able and i'm
partial manner in which he has
looked after all matters coming
before our body. He has been
constantly with us during our labore
and by his courteous and energetic
efforts has contributed much toward
the thoroughness of our work.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitied:

Tunnels and Bridges.

Eve1 in the present advanced stage
of the mechanic arts it takes seven or
eight years to build great bridge like
that over the East River in Greater
New York, at a cost of not less than

t e same purpose could be completed
tor S. oooooo or 100000. Wherever
abutting land is of great value the
question of tunnel versus bridge is thus
forced upon public consideration. Un-
derground ways can be bored under
city streets. while bridges approaches
must be acquired by a tedious and
costly process of condemnation and
purchase. While tunnel costs little
or nothing for maintenance, the repair
account OF bridges is large and impera.
