TAKES UP LICENSES
Calls Attention to Sanitary Needs
of Ely, and Needed Improve
ments in Hospital and Jail

Judge Brown yesterday re-
ceived and transmitted to the
County Commissioners the re-
port of the Grand Jury. The re
port sets forth tersely certain
conditions existing in Ely which
stand in need of correction. The
report in detail is as follows:
Hon. Georges. Brown, Judge Fourth
Judicial District, in the County OF
White Pine, State of Nevada:
The Grand Jury impaneled on the
9th of January, 1907, beg leave to sub
nit our final report as follows:-
We found one indictment for grand
larceny and one for assault with intent
to kill. We further report the follow
ing recommendations:
Gaming Licenses
It having come to the knowledge OF
this Grand Jury that there are some
thirty gambling games carried on il the
town of Ely and that the County
has been receiving license fees from
only eleven games, we therefore
strongly recommend that the law licens-
ing gaming be strictly enforced
Improvements on Hospital
After making an examination of the
County Hospital, we recommend to the
Board of County Commissioners to take
such action as they think best for the
better improvement of the County
hospital.
After careful examination of the
Court House we find that the present
building is inadequate to accommodate
the County officers and we recommend
that the Commissioners cause to be
erected temporary building for the
accommodation of said County officers
After an inspection of the County
Jail, We also find that it is entirely tco
small to accommodate the prisoners of
the County. We recommend to the
County Commissioners that a new Jail
be constructed. We further recon-
mend 20 the County Commissioners to
instruct the Sheriff to renovate the old
jail, Lurn up all old bedding that is unfit
for use and purchase sufficient new
bedding for the Jail.

Findings Of the Grand Jury

take proper action as to the pr)5acu-
tion and conviction fo the said party or
parties.
Sanitary Conditions of Fly
Having made thorough investiga-
tion of the sanitary condition OF Ely,
inquiring into the various. pu0lic ard
private places, we find thai in many
cases throughout the town ordinances
issued by the County Board of Health
have been totally ignored; that the un-
cleanliness Of the yards and the rear of
many business places was such as to
render conditions deplorable, which If
not thoroughly cleaned and set in ordar
will most likely lead to disease thai will
become epidemic at no distant day.
The toilets of many places in tLis town
are poorly constructed and are so un-
sanitary that they have become public
nuisance. We suggest that the a5ten-
tion of the Sheriff and Board Of Health
be called to the above stated conditions.
We also recommend to the Board of
County Commissioners to confer with
the County Physician regarding the IL
stallation of dry closets in the town Of
Ely. 1t has been reported to us chat
the water in the wells is being polluted
by the present conditions.
Expert Accountant
We find after close examination that
the County books have not been ex-
ported since. December 3rd, 1909.
Therefore we urgently recommend that
the Commissioners secure the services
of an expert accountant for the purpose
of examining the books of The County.
Qualified Engineers
We recommend that the Commits
sioners appoint board of three
thoroughly qualified engineers to ex-
anime applicants for engineers licences
and that said board shall be empowered
to called before them anyone possessing
an engineers license for examination.
ulIiSl, IidC q pol lioi VI tllS lSSS c
ceived from applicants shall be paid to
the Board of Engineers for their ser
vices.
We recommend that the Commits
sioners take such action as they may
deem necessary to protect the fire ap
paratus of the town of Ely from NAL
treatment.
We recommend that the Commits
sioners investigate places where ex-
plosives are stored within the town
limits.
We also recommend that the Com
missioners' attention be called to the
dangerous conditions of electric light
wires in the town of Ely, particularly
to the fact that there are numerous
places where the Insulation has been
destroyed; also places where joints have
been made on wires attached to build
ings and said joints left without proper
Insulation; also to the fact that poles
supporting said wires are in bad condi-
ton and are not high enough for the
safety of the public.

Foreman Of the Grand Jury.
