PREsENTMENT OF GRAND JURY.
TO Hon. ID. A. Townsend, Presiding
Judge, June Term, 1904:
The Grand Jury submit the follow
ang general presentment:
we nave passed upon the bills sub
united to ua kept one which has
been carried g. >. until next Court, and
are pleased to note that the condition
for its law-abiding citizenship, to
which We called special attention in
our general presentment Mt the last
term of Court, is still maintained. That
we have been able to perform our duty
mt this term in two days is, OF itself,
an evidence Of the fact.
The committees of our bodies ap-
pointed at the last term of Court to in :
yeStigate the county offices, the con-
duct OF the County Home, the County
-5all and the County Chaingang, viii
not make their report until the next
term of Court. Having confidence In
cur County officials, they have not
deemed it necessary to make al iinms-
diate investigation. and therefore post
p0ned it until they could more con
Venient1y epare the time for the work.
We have had presented to us peti-
zion relating to school districts in the
county, and especially to the school
districts in the S1abtown section of the
scounty. AS the matters contained in
said petition are properly matters for
the consideration of the County Board
of Education and for the Legis1 ature,
we respectfully refer the petitioners
to said bodies as the proper bodies to
grant the relief sought.
Respectfully. submitted,
