REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY

TO IT." Honorable Circuit Court:
( We, the Grand Jurors, duly EN-
panneled and sworn for service at
the November term, 1872, Of the Cir
cult Court of st. Francois county,
state that we have heard the wit
, nesscs and investigated the evidence
( brought before us, and have visited
the public buildings of the county
deemed necessary to be visited, and
respectfully present the following
report:
We have visited the offices of the
different officers of the county aud
from our investigation of the rec
ords, papers and tiles therein, have
learned and are pleased to report
them in excellent condition.
The county Jail Was fourd to be
well kept by the Sheriff, and the
Grand Jurors feel that the Sheriff is
making every effort to keep the Jail
in good condition. With no criti-
/ cism toward the Sheriff we recom-
mend that, If possible, the prisoners
be compelled to keep their cells in a
more cleanly condition, aud il it be
found necessary that more disin.
fectant be used in and about the
Jail.
The Grand Jury was much pleased
with the splendid condition in whict
II found the County Iniirmary. Tn,
buildings present the appearance oi
ncatness and cleanliness and their
condition, tOgethe with the manner
In which the inmates are being caTe(
for, speak well for the efficiency o
the management of the institution
At the Court House we found tha
several officers were compelled t,
have their Offices in one room. Thi
Is especially true of the Superlntend
ent of Public Schools, the Highwa,
> Engineer and the Treasurer. w,
also found that there was no plac,
In the Court House where the Grant
3 Jury might hold its sessions. w
, therefore recommend that som
steps be taken toward the remedy
ing of these conditions. And W
further recommend that somethini
G be done toward the safe keeping

, records In the Office of the Clerk of tn
Circuit Court, for these records ar

Helpful suggestions are being re-

/ glad to have these, since they will
aid us in keeping the standards Of

with the teaching force. We trust
that the parents will also visit the
schools more and inspect the regn

work, methods Of discipline, talk
over the required amount of study
necessary, the health of the child

BIDS TOO LARGE
ON MASON HOME

At a meeting of the Masonic board
of control last evening, the bids for
the building of the Masonic temple
were again gone over, but no con-
tracts were let as all the bids were
over the mark decided upon by the
building committee. The committee
decided to make some changes in the
original plans and ask the three low
est bidders to revise their bids and
submit them later in the week in the
hope that some might be at a figure
they could accept.
The building committee has work
ed out its plans in such detail and
with such care that it is averse to
making any radical departure from
the plans finally decided upon before
receiving the bids. With some slight
changes in their plans, the commit
tee hope that the contractors will be
able to submit satisfactory bids.
