GRAND JURY REPORT.
The grand jury chosen at tn
May term Of court, met on Friday
finished it's work and presente,
to the court the following report
whereupon they were discharged
We, the Grand Jury, drawn for th
May term Of Circuit Court of tn,
State Of Oregon for Morrow County
have finished our labors and respect
fully report to the Court as follows
That we were regularly convened
on the Sth day Of May, 1911, and on
said day adjourned said sitting and
thereafter and on the 10th day of
November, 1911, we again convened
in sitting and have been in session
at such adjourned sitting since said
date.
That at said first sitting convened
on the Sth day of May, 1911, we found
no matter requiring investigation
FOR the reason that the Grand Jury
convened for the November term,
1910, had but just completed it's la
bors and had disposed of all matters
that required investigation to said
time. That atsaid adjourned sitting
we have found and returned to the
Court three true bills and one not
true bill.
In addition to the witnesses ex-
amined on the indictments so found.
we have also considered other mat
ters that have been presented to us,
and have, SO far as we know passed
on and disposed of all criminal mat
ters which have come before us and
all matters heretofore presented to
the District Attorney wherein he
found action unwarranted and un-
necessary, and we therefore report to
the Court at this time that we be-
lieve that all criminal matters, so far
as Morrow county is concerned are
disposed of.
We have made careful examina-
tion OF the county Hospital, the sur
roundings and management thereof
and have found the same to be con-
Quoted in good and efficient man.
ner.
We have, so far as we have been
able, looked over the books and
records of the county officers, but
nave been unable to make any exam
nation of the same for the reason
hat it would require the services of
IN expert and we have not deemed it
Necessary to go to such expense at
his time. But from such examina-
Ion as we did make the same seem
o be kept in a good and efficient
manner.
We have found the work of the
anitOr at the court house to be sat
sfactOry, but desire to recommend
hat the door to the circuit court
Dom and the front doors of the
ounty court house be reconstructed '
o that the same shall open outward ,
o comply with the laws of the state.
We have given some attention and
lvestigation to the expenditures for
of the county roads
nd we are of the opinion that the {
being expended is far in ex-
ess of the actual benefits derived and
Te recommend that some system be
mployed by the County Court
value would be received for
uch road expenditures.
We have been in actual sitting
hree days since first convened and
aving now finished our labors re-
pectiully ask the court that we be I
ischarged. q
