GRAND JURY REPORT.
The grand jury in its report to Judge
Little says:
In our investigation Of the Land De-
partment. we. as Grand Jurymen, cam
not too strongly condemn the methods
in vogue respecting the manner in
which that department. has transacted
public business, and with this end in
view, I'VE endeavor to present such evil
dence to the public as will result in a
thorough overhauling of that depart
ment, ana an entirely new system put
in operation by which public funds will
be deposited or held as such and not
on personal deposit or held personally
as in the past; also, that government
land patents in which the applicant
has complied with all conditions and
made full payment will be issued more
promptly; also that all government land
agents handling public funds be placed
under bonds.
We most severely censure the main
Office, located in Honolulu, for their
lax methods in the past. which win be
shown by a few OF the cases and copies
of two letters enumerated below
LIQUOR
There is no doubt in the minds of
the members of this Grand Jury as to
the extensive practice of selling liquor
without license and the great difficulty
is in securing evidence. The refore we
would recommend to the proper author

stop to the Illicit sale of liquors. There
is vet another phase to this question,
viz: retail liquor dealers who pay an
annual license of $1,000 have a legal
right to be protected.
