To the Honorable the Judges of the Circuit
Court for Carroll County:
The Grand Jurors Of the present term of
the Circuit Court respectfully report:
That during their six days session 43 wit
nesses were by them examined and their
testimony resulted in II indictments being
found. Three cases considered by them were
ignored.
They visited the almshouse and Jail as re.
qured by law and thoroughly inspected the
condition of both properties, the manner in
;,b tbay ,ra fop6ucfe6 and the treatment
of their inmates.
They observed with approval the Jail's con
dition and the satisfactory manner in which
it is conducted by the present efficient sheriff
The almshouse is in good condition. lis
81 inmates seem contented, and no complaint
as to their treatment was made. We observed
that the plumbing is in Il very unsanltary con-
dtion and it should be attended 10 at once.
Closets should be installed and proper lava
tories. The closets should be automatic and
this matter should not be neglected as the
present conditions of those in use are danger
Gus and menace to the health of all the in
mates. We do not intend to condemn the
steward for their condition AS they are clean
ly as they possibly can be under the circum-
stances They are a disgrace to Carroll
county, and the County Commissioners should
take up the matter Immediately and see that
city water be brought to the buildings or a
proper water system be installed.
A large room for the mems quarters should
be prepared furnished and fitted up AS sitting
room for the old men. The need of this room
has been mentioned by several prior grand
juries, but no attention has been apparently
given to the matter.
The attention of the manufacturers OF com :
mercial fertilizers is called to the fact that the
law requires that all brands of fertilizer sold
by them must be accompanied with printed
or written statement showing chemical apaly-
sis, weight &c. This provision of the law
must be recognized even when sold in bulk
and the purchaser bags it himself.
They also report that having finished the
work on hand and knowing of nothing further
requiring their attention they suggest that they
be examined.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
l.. CALVIN JORDAN,
Foreman.
