jury VI wye county IufueQ lIS report
into the district court Tuesday after
neon. The report is not at all sensa-
tional, save in that it discredits sew
eral unsaVory stories which have
been circulated about the manage
ment of certain county offices. The
report follows in full:
Hon. j. P. O'Brien, judge of the
fifth judicial district court of
the state of Nevada, in and for

the discussion and findings we beg
leave to submit herewith

and another for receiving stolen
goods and another for having burg
lars tools in his possession, and we
beg leave to submit the dismissal of

HIGH SCHOOL.
We find the high school building in
a very satisfactory condition and the
recommendation made by the last
grand jury, relative to fire escapes
has been complied with; we would
suggest, however, owing to the lack
of water pressure at this point, that
khemical fire extinguishers or gren-
Ides or both be supplied for the pro-
lection of this building in the event
of fire
Some complaint has been made rel
alive to the quality of coal being used
at the high school, same being a
poor quality of slack and not produc-
tive of much heat.
We find the public school buildings
in satisfactory condition and aside
from few repairs And alterations
which are now under way nothing
needed
STREETS AND DS-PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY.
From our examination of the var
ions streets in the town of Tonopal
and the roads adjacent lead us tc
submit the following report;
We herewith hand you report Of
YOUR committee on health and safey;
We made an extensive examination
of the streets of Tonopah and fount
them in good condition except at one
particular place above Tonopah ave
me on Main street, where the stree
runs at the elge of the Gold Hill mine
dump, we find that it is menace t.
life and limb and particularly nov
that more travel has started tina
way. We would recommend that tel
or twelve feet be cut away ant
dumped into the wash and filling a
the same time, giving footmen AM
teams a chance to see each orne
coming both ways; also by filling tn
wash YOU will do away with a publ
dumping ground, as at present IN
people for some distance dump thei
filth in the wash and make it
breeder of disease.
We also recommend that the sol
pipe now projecting out from tn
south end of the jail be connecte
with the main sewer which is only
few feet distant, in order that the III
slightly pool now formed from tn
waste water coming through ina
pipe be done away with.
We further recommend that IN
board of health or the proper officer
he requested to look into the que'
ton of vaults and cesspools OF wnlc
we find a number now filled TO
point so near the top that we deem
best that some measures or steps
taken TO the end that deeper cess
pools and deper vaults be maintaine
by those property owners whose prof.
ertv is not now connected with IN
sewer system,
We recommend that a side wal
: hid railing be placed along that po
ton of st. Patrick street hetwee
Brougher avenue and Oddie street
the rear of all buildings whe'
dangerous openings now exist an
that all out-buildings and obstru
tions be immediately removed fro
the street according to the line
survey, :.
