GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
A Very Strong and Foreefui Ooeu-
nent-Crime on the Decrease
County Prosperous.

In the Circuit Court of the Fifth Ju-
= diciai Circuit Of Marion County,
I. Florida.
The Grand Jury for the Fall term
OF the circuit court having completed
its 1abOrs beg leave to make this its
final presentment: We have been
greatly hampered in the discharge Of
our duties by the careless and ship
shod manner in which some of the
papers in the cases intended for the
consideration of the grand jury were
sent in. In many instances no rec
ord at all being made of the witnesses
TO be examined and we had therefore
To depend upon our ability to locate
them by the recollection of members
of the grand jury living in that neigh
borhoOd.
Clerks Office.
We find the clerks Office is crowd
ed. that the vault is entirely too small
and inadequate for the proper care
Of the records of the county. We are
informed by the clerk that every
night before closing the Office that it
Is necessary for him to carry a great
many Of the books into the vault and
ms the morning take the books out
so that the citizens may have free
access to them.
The clerks Office proper is also
crowded with records of different
kinds. which owing to the inadequacy
of the vault cannot be stored there
and are in danger of destruction in
case Of fire
We also find that the filing cabinets
are entirely inadequate and that it is
impossible for the clerk with the linn
TIED space allowed him to properly
care for the records of the county.
So far as his personal work. and
that of his deputies, in keeping of
records is concerned, we find it neat
~ and properly kept
Treasurer and Tax Collectors Office.
We find the books and records of
{ the collector neatly and evidently
correctly kept. We find no provision
Tor the safety of the books and rec
ords of this Office in case of fire. This
room is insufficient for the rapid and
systematic conduct of business. Office
furniture prove scant and very infer
ior. part of the Office is subject to in
undation from leakage of pipes from
room above. fouling the Office shame
fully.
We suggest that at the next meet
ing OF the Legislature the present law
ot governing the collection of Occu-
pataon taxes be changed and some
s ouslness-like method be devised

and monthly during the balance of
the year. be amended SO as to pro-
vide for semi i-mOnthly reports in
turning over the funds from and in
Guiding the months of January until
the tax books are closed and there
after monthly. The reason for this
suggestion being that probably 50
per cent of the taxes are paid be-
tween January 1St and the time of
closing the books.
We find the county treasurer keep
ing a rented office, poorly furnished
and an insufficient safe room The
books are very neatly kept and with
much system and evident accuracy
Sheriff's Office.
We find the Sheriff'S office to be in
very good condition. Little need be
said of the manner in which the office
is kept as the sheriff has in his Gus
tody but few records. We wish to say,
however. that the sheriff has afforded
the grand jury every courtesy in his
power to assist them in dlSpOSing OF
the business before Them We think
that he has been very vigilant in his
efforts to bring to justice those charg-
ed with crime or who have in any
manner violated the penal laws of the
state.
County Judges Office.
We find this Office to be neatly and
properly kept and the records now
properly filed away in a filing cabi-
net recently purchased by the county
commissioners. Some of the old
books in the office containing Vaiu-
able records relating to the titles of
realty throughout the county to be
in a very bad condition and recon-
mend that the county commissioners
take steps to have the same rebound
in order hat the records of these III
ties may be preserved.
We recommend that the county
commissioners purchase this office
book-typewriter. We believe in the
long run this would be a profitable
investment for the county, the saving
in the number of books purchased and
providing the public with legible and
proper records.

On Thursday morning next host OF
Republicans will gather in Portland to
find out, if possible, just where they
stand in relation to their party and its
purposes in the forthcoming election. 1t
is expedient that every one of them go
to Portland with the fixed determine
tion to "let sleeping dogs lie' until there
is tangible ground for arousing the in
nocuous "canines,' a contingency, it is
hoped, that will prove to be far remote,
even non-existant. The first duty of
every loyal republican is to make GER
tain and steadfast the inherent, firm and
compact substance of republicanism in
the state. That principle established,
there will be no room for anything else
than the cumulative effort to program
the work of the new campaign along
lines into which every honest party
man may fall readily and helpfully. to
the lasting credit of the creed and the
state. The results Of this meeting will
have an incredible effect upon the COM
ing campaign for good or evil, and the
assembled republicans in Portland, must
face the responsibility whatever it may
be.
