cess be replaced by sober men. Judge
Cook had little to say about the re-
port having previously delivered his
opinion about the courthouse, and in
reference to the school committeen-
men. he asked the foreman why the
names had not been presented.
The report is as follows:
To his Honor, Judge Charles NJ.
Cooke:
The grand jury respectfully report:
l. That we have passed upon all
bills.
2. That we have inspected the Jail,
and the offices of the clerk OF the
court, register OF deeds, sheriff, treas
urer and county superintendent Of"
schools. We find the Jail in good
condition, the prisoners we'll kept and
provided for. We find the county
offices in first class condition in every
respect-the records Well kept, the
system thoroughly up-to-date, and
everything in condition to give the
people the best service possible.
8. The grand jury visited the Coun-
ty Home, and made a careful exaIni-
nation into the condition and care of
the inmates, and into the condition
of the Home. We find the buildings,
farm and premises the stock and
farming implements in first class CON
dition. The %county's poor are well
cared for, the houses being provided
with wire screens and we'll ventilated;
the rOOms clean and comfortable; a
bath room with hot and cold water
for use of inmate which has just been
installed will be a great benefit TO
these unfortunate old people. We
find no room anywhere for criticism
and highly endorse the way the Home
is managed.
4. The grand jury visited one Of the
road camps and found everything in
satisfactory condition. We have no
criticism to make.
Recommendations.
1. We recommend that the room
used by the grand jury be supplied
with electric fans during the spring
and summer sessions Of court.
2. We recommend that the court
house be enlarged according to the
plans submitted by Mr.. II. T. S. KEEL
Ter and that his be done as soon as
possible.
g. We find that the last grand jury
recommended that the county super
intendent of schools make diiigent in
quiry and remove all school CONT
taemen who use intoxicating liquors
to excess, and that some sober man
be appointed in the place of each one
removed. Upon investigation we
find hat his has not been done, and
we especially recommend that this be
attended to at nee.
5. We the grand jury return thanks
to the presiding Judge, solicitor,
sheriff and other court officials for
their consideration n help, thereby
enabling US to more rapidly transact
the business that came before US.
Respectfully submitted,
L. A. RAUGH,
Foreman Grand Jury.
The principal cases of interest
which will come up this week Will be

casion to take a slap at the Tacoma

lators and that labor should see

pia is pledged to the passage OF a
law establishing the initiative, the
referendum and the recall.
