III koOu COuuitiou.
AS to the Public Nuisances Of this
County we find nothing on which to
make any comment. except to recon-
mend the officers to have all persons
to be careful of rubbish, manure, etc.,
and not to pile same in the alleys or
Big Ditch. And we recommend to the
officers of all towns in this County to
not allow boys under the age of 81 to
frequent and drink in the saloons.
We Furthermore recommend that the
Sheriff ring the curfew bell at 8 O'Clock,
and see that this law is obeyed.

E. GERATY,
County Books
To the Foreman Of the Grand Jury:
We. your Committee on Books, beg
leave to submit the following report:
In the Justice Court. Eureka Town
ship. we find the following: We
examined the books and find them kept
neat. clean and correct.
We also examined the books of the
C~onstable's Office, Eureka Township.
and find them kept in a business-like
manner.
In the Sheriff's office we fiud the
following irregularities: We find for the
years 1907 and 1908 that the books have
not been kept in a creditable manner;
that we find that there have been no
lodging house licenses collected for
years where an eating house was run
in connection, Notwithstanding the
statutes provide that a separate license
is required where the receipts of such
lodging house exceed $50 per quarter;
that in several instances, licenses have
not been collected for several months
after they were due.
We wish to call the attention Of the
Court to all matters pertaining to Ii.
censes. aud If, in any of the irregulari-
ties mentioned. suit can be brought
against the parties at fault or their
bondsmen for the bursement of
this County. we earnestly recommend
that such steps be taken.
We have been informed that J. @.
Latti Of Beowawe has been doing q
merchandise business for the last year.
and has not paid any license.
In the Assessors Office we find a
Poll Tax Roll for the years 1907 and
1908 has been kept. showing the parties
who have paid Poll Tax. We have
checked the Poll Tax list aud the
Assessment Roll TO the best of our
ability, and also find the books Of the
Assessors Office kept neat, clean and
correct.
In the office of the County Auditor
we found the books in good shape. and
we wish to commend the County Audi
tor for the systematic and thorough
manner in which he has conducted the
affairs of his Office.
We, your Committee on Books,
recommend that the bills passed by the
County Commissioners for the month
of February, 1909. sent to the Auditor
aud refused. be recalled and made out
according to law, al the Auditor re-
quests they should be, until such time
as the State Auditor can get here and
establish the system for the State, so
that the wheels of the county gov.
eminent may not remain blocked.
In the office of the Treasurer, he is to
be commended for the thorough man.
ner in which he keeps his accounts. WI
checked the books of both Auditor and
Treasurer and compared their balances,
counted the money in the Treasury, to-
wit. $22. 500 20. and found it agreed with
the books.
In the County Commissioner Office
we would commend the County Com
m~issioners for the careful and conserva'
tive manner In which they have
handled the county funds for the pas
two years. and we ask. on behalf Of
Eureka County, that this most import
ant matter be given the same careful
attention in the future.
Justice Court, Palisade Township
We. your Committee. have audited the
books and found them kept neat, clean
and correct. but could be made more
explicit in making up the fines.
The Constable Of Palisade Township
has not kept any books and we could
not check his accounts up; we also find
bills sent by him mot itemizsd) where
work was done on roads for the years
1907 and 1908. In regard to the feel
Of Constables in the County. it has
been called to cur attention hat it hal
appeared in some cases that the Con.
stables have made arrests on very
fiimsy pretexts. in order to receive the
fees for such arrests. We would es.
pecially call the attention Of this matter
to the Board Of County Commissioners,
and ask that they thoroughly investi.
gate all bills for fees presented by Con.
stables before allowing same.
We. as a Committee on Books. have
examined the books in the County
Auditors Office in regard to the re-
cording of births and deaths. and find
them posted up to date.
The District Attorney of our county
