Grand Jury Recommendations.

The Grand Jury last week after exam
ining the county buildings. made to
Judge Faulkner the following report:
Grand Jury Room. Feb. Term. 1909.
To the Honorable Judge of the Circuit
Court of Jefferson County. W. Va.
Before concluding our investigation, in
pursuance of your instruction, we visited
the circuit and county court offices, &C.
cupyiug the lower floor in the north
eastern part of the courthouse; and
whereas, We find the rooms are ample
size for the conduct of the business for
which they are built, yet we fud they are
wholly unsuitable for storing records. and
the records of the county could be easily
destroyed by fire, We feel it our duty to
recommend that your Honor call the at
tention of the authorities of our county
to these facts, and request them to build
the fire proof rooms adjoining the offices
of the circuit and county court, large
cuO1Si lOI tue TeCOIQS OF Inc county 10
be kept in these rooms. and which said
construction shall be freproof, or as near
so as possible. We feel that this is not a
sentiment; it is condition that exists,
and one that the people of the county of
Jefferson cannot afford to ignore. We
further recommend that better facilities,
such as wash and toilet rooms. be fur
njshed for the use of the petit Jurors, as
well as for the use of the officers of the
court in tbs court house. as we'll as larg-
er petit jury rooms retiring room and
retiring room for your Honor.
Respectfully submitted.
This report was unanimously adopted.
E. H. REINHART, Foreman.
The above recommendations strike lis
as sound and sensible. and the members
of the County Court in acting promptly
and favorably upon them WILL we are
sure, have the backing of public SEN
timent IN the county largely in their
favor
