FINAL REPORT OF
 THE GRAND JURY.
Comprehensive Statement of the AT. fairs of Graham County. Rapid
 and Efficient Work Done.

r Of the Second Judicial District
 Y We, the Grand Jury. duly empan l eled and sworn for the October term
 1901, to inquire into all matter
 brought before Us, beg leave to mak,
 this, our final report. We have in vestigated and inquired into twenty eight cases. We have found seven teen indictments, and ignored clever cases. and one case referred to tn,
 next grand jury.
 By different committees appointed
 by the foreman tine various count J
 offices have been investigated anC
 the books examined as we'll as the
 limited time would permit. We
 found the office of the board of
 supervisors to have been kept in q
 neat and orderly manner.
 We recommend that the district attorney take action to prevent the supervisors from drawing their
 salaries so long as the judgment against them stands unsatisfied. We further recommend that the super
 visors provide more room for the preservation of the papers and rec ords of said office.
 We found everything in the treas ures's office to be in good order ex- cept the condition of the room and building. We recommend that there he certain repairs to the roof made and that his office he kept clean and | in d respectable manner. We fure l ther found his accounts to be kept in d systematic order and that the treasurer was able to give an account of every detail of his office.
 In the probate judges office We found all the records of the office carefully and neatly kept. That it appeared to our committee that it would be hard to find d more compe- tent and careful officer than Judge Little to have charge of the estates of deceased persons.
 In the school superintendent of- flee We were unable to see him per sonally as his office is at Thatcher. Arizona, but through the treasurer and clerk of the board of supervisors We -IedIm LtIdt I,t'--.SP SPor~-'-1rr. --r- ways been rendered. pr0mpuly ...Iu that the affairs of his office have been conducted according to law.
 The county assessor We were un- able to see personally but in looking over the original assessment roll for | 1901 we find that the same was made | up in clear and clerical manner and | as far as we can judge the county | has been well served.
 We find that the district attorney | has tried in all thirty-seven cases in the district court and secured thirty five convictions. there being two ac- quittals. That he has executed the l duties of his office in an able and conscientious manner, has collected in fines and default bonds S635, and has recovered d judgment against the board of supervisors for money paid without authority of law for Sl6OO and costs. To properly conduct the duties of the office and secure the necessary privacy. the committee recommends that the board of supervisors arrange the Of- fee either by new addition or other wise so that the district attorney may have two rooms for the conduct of business. the one room now occu- pied being inadequate to properly conduct the office.
 In the county recorders office we found the office to be kept in q first class condition, the records being kept in q neat. busineSs-like manner, and everything pertaining to said office in condition that reflects credit upon MT. Simms, the recorder.
 In the sheriff's office we found all accounts and records of the office up to date and kept in business-like manner. Prison, prison yard. court house and each of it's offices and yard. we recommend that in rebuild ing the tumbled down wall that the prison wall be extended at least twenty-five feet west from the pres ent wall, making proper yards for trustics and for recreation of prison CTS. also q wall connecting the prison wall and the yard wall. petitioning off d back yard of the grand jury room from tthe prison yard. all walls to be built with either q rock or cement foundation. of sufficient heighth to guard against food waters. That inside the yard walls there be proper grading, leveling up and gray | | ling. that all around and about the prison and in the court house en- closure should be graded high enough to protect the walls against floods. that every room in the court house be renovated, and white washed or calcimized. That there should be a thorough renovating and cleaning up of each cell and room in the prison and that the walls be whitewashed and the floors scrubbed. and that everything be made clean and re- Ispectable, and so kept. That in the prison walls and yard there be prop CT lights and ventilation. That a wind mill and tank be provided, with iproper sewerages and sanitary regu-
