Judge of the Third Judicial Dis

County, N, NJ, June Term Of
Court:
We, the Grand Jury. offer You
the following as our report for
the June Term, 1906.
We have been in session eight
days and two nights. During
this time. we have had As cases
before us.
We have examined "a witness
We have found p true bills
and 23.no bills.
We have, without fear or fa-
vor to anyone, examined into all
cases brought before US, and af-
ter due and deliberate considera-
tion we have true bill or
no bill as the evidence in each
case directed us.
l have made a number OF in
quiries from good citizens, from
different parts of our county,
whether any serious evils exist
ed therein, o. if any Sunday
laws were being violated, and
their answers were: Nothing
that deserved the attention of
the grand jury, that they knew
of. We have tried to deal
fairly and justly with all.
Committees were appointed
and Instructions given. D..
First, committee to investigate
court house, Jail and grounds.
They return the following re-
port:
I'VE went through and on the
roof of the court house and jail,
and find all in a good condition.
The new roof lately put on the
court house is a first class job.
We found five prisoners i'll
Jail. In conversation with them,
we found that they were we'll
fed and kindly treated. No
complaint to offer. The sanitary
conditions of the jail seemed all
to be i'll good order, and the
healthfulnesS of the prisoners is
well looked after.
The shelving that was re-
moved from the court house is
properly cared for by the sheriff
in the rear of his place of bust
ness. The old tin roof that
was removed from the court
house has been sold by the coun-
ty commissioners to Leandro
Baca.
I'VE would like to sugges st
that an extra effort be made by
county commissioners and sheriff
to at once get water to the trees
and grass in and around the
court house grounds, as they are
in a perishing condition, and
that no stock of any kind be
kept within the rock walls that
surround our court house
grounds"

gate the different county officers,
