GRAND JURY REPORT.
TO the Honorable Judges Of the CIR
cut court for Gdrrett County, Ma
ryLdRd
The Grand Jury have the honor to
report that they have thoroughly
examined all the witnesses brought
before them; have investigated each
case and infraction of the law brought
to their attention, and where the
evidence justified against offending
parties indictments have been re-
turned.
In performing these duties 101 wit
nesses have been examined, - pre-
sentiments have been made and - in
dictments found.
We beg the Court will accept our
grateful acknowledgements for its
timely instructions and patient for
bearance in the discharge of our du-

In conformity with the law and the
direction Of the Court we have visited
the public buildings.
The care and the neatness with
which the records are kept in the
Office of the County Clerk are espe-

The Office of the County Treasurer
and the Office of the Orphans Court
were also open to our inspection and
both showed that they were as well
kept as the limited space would allow
In the office of the County Commits
sioners we found that the assessment
books are left standing on a table ex-
posed 80 dirt and dust. We recon-
mend that they be protected not only
from dust and dirt but from possible
destruction or loss by fire otherwise
this Office was also in a commendable
condition.
We visited the Jail and found nine
teen prisoners where there was only
room for four. They were as well
provided for as the limited room
would permit. Most decidedly the
county has outgrown the jail we haye,
in size and modern ideas of the sani-
tary conditions required in pnblic
buildings and render it a disgrace to
our county.
Notwithstanding bill has been in
troduced in the legislature embodying
the recommendations of our last
