GRAND JURY REPORT

We, your Grand Jury. duly empanellcd and
sworn, in and for the parish of ST. Tammany,
after 1 careful and paninstaking investigation
regarding the expenditure of the Second Ward
road fund. beg leave TO make the following
report:
That from the evidence elected from the
various witnesses examined by US, we find that
the road fund in said Second Ward is expended
in careless, reckless and unbusinesSlike man
ner. 1t seems that the Second Ward Police
Juror is conducting and operating store and
those who are willing to accept groceries, etc,
in payment of their services, are the ones who
arc usually employed.
We also find that the warrants instead OF be-
ing issued in favor of the individual workers
one warrant is issued in favor of the road
overseer or bearer, for the aggregate amount
supposed to be due the men SO employed.
This, we desire to condemn as 4 dangerous
system.
We further find that practically all of the
Second Ward road fund is spent in one part OF
said ward, while the other parts are seriously
neglected.
We therefore recommend that each Police
! Juror hereafter have warrant issued in favor
( of each individual doing work on the public
roads of this parish.
! December IS, 1909.
