To the Honorable, the Judges Of the
circuit Court for Garrett CountU,
Maryl0nd:
The Grand Jury have the honor to
report that they have examined all
witnesses brought before them thor
oughly; have investigated each case
and infraction of the law brought to
their attention and where the evil
dence justified against offending par
ties, indictments have been returned.
In performing these duties ia wit
sentiments have been made and 10 in
dictments.
We trust the Court will accept our
grateful acknowledgment for its time
ly instructions and patient forbear-
ance in the discharge of our duties,
and we also wish to state that our
labors have been materially mitiga-
ted and acts made more effective by
&ho 11nrannittinCr otfant:Ao 4
sci of States Attorney, Mr.. Thayer.
In conformity with the law and the
direction of the Court we have visited
and examined the public offices and
Jail.
Thoroughness in the several de-
partments of the Office of County
Clerk, with skillful system for using
and preserving records and papers
was apparent and gratifying.
The County Treasurer's office show
ed an orderly and commendable man
agement of the affairs of his office.
Offices of the County Commissioners
and Orphans Court were also opened
to our inspection and showed to be
as well kept as the limited space
would allow.
We found II prisoners in the Jail
ana JneY are as well cared Tor as can
be expected under the conditions
which exist in the different parts of
the building.
We find the jail building made
quate and insecure in every essential;
its sanitary defect a serious menace to
the health and life of the prisoners
and the sheriff and his family, and we
would strongly recommend that the
Legislature pass an act at the coming
session authorizing the County Com
missioners to- issue bonds for suffi-
cienT amount to erect as soon as pos
sible, first, Jail sufficient to secure
the prisoners committed thereto and
afford humane treatment to them;
second, to erect as soon thereafter as
the County Commissioners in their
Judgment think practicable a court
house sufficient for the needs of our
fast growing county and furnish suf-
ticient protection to the county
records.
Having so far as we are able con-
cluded the duties for which we were
assembled, we respectfully ask our
dismissal at your hands.
All of which we respectfully submit.
MERRITT WILSON, Foreman.
