GRAND JURY REPORT
The grand jury in it's 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, we endeavor to present such evil
dence to the public as will result in a
thorough overhauling of that depart
ment, and 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 will 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, Therefore, we
would recommend to the proper author
tiles to renew their efforts In putting n |
stop to the Illicit sale of liquors. There |
is yet another phase to this question,
viz: retail liquor dealers who pay an
annual license of $1,000 have a legal |
right to be protected.
JURY ROOM.
We find that as far back as January,
1901, n report was made by a grand
jury recommending the requirement
of suitable quarters for the use of grand
ever, was taken Of this recommended
ton, we would now bring this matter !
again 10 the attention of this Fourth |
Circuit Court. The present quarters,
being situated on the principal thor
oughfare OF the town, are conspicuous
and no secrecy can prevail as 10 In
or proceedings when Wit
neases are seen "a g0 ana come from
