Public Morals and Nuisances

dohS hofoi anu tNuisdh@ct
To the Foreman of the Grand Jury
We, your Committee on Public
Morals and Nuisances respectfully
submit the following report:
We find the morals of the County
generally good, but there has come
to the knowledge of the Grand Jury
through personal experience, that
many of the saloons of this County
are violating the laws of the State in
selling liquors to minors and Indians,
and permitting gambling on the
premises; this knowledge Is not in
such definite form as to allow the
return of indictments against the
parties guilty of these violations of
the law.
A remedy for these evils was pro-
vided, however, at the last session
of the Legislature by authorizing the
Board of County Commissioners of
each County to revoke the licenses
of such saloons as persistently vio-
late the laws of this State.
We understand that n of the
most profitable saloon licenses in an
other county was recently revoked
by the Board of County Commission
ers for the reason that gambling was
permitted on the premises, and the
place was not run in an orderly man.
ner, and we respectfully call the at
tention of our Board ofCounty Com
missioners to the Statute in question,
with request that the said Board
take action if these violations of the
law continue.
We find that the railroad travers-
ing this County has neglected to re-
pair or replace danger signals at its
crossings, and out of this condition
serious accidents may arise. We
recommend that said railroad be re-
ouired to keepAand maintain proper
danger signals at all crossings of the
public roads, i
The general sanitary conditions OF
the county are good, VIZ haye re-
ceived, however, one complaint of a
slight nuisance in the town of Eu-
reka. which will be called to the at
tention of the District Attorney when

which is not enough under the pres
ent conditions to justify the Matron
in running the place. We recon-
mend that when there is less than
two patients that the Matron be paid
$50 per month. 1t is a credit to the
County to have a Matron who pays
so much attention to the are of the
Hospital as well as the patients.
We find the Janitor's work in the
Court House satisfactory in every
respect.

To the Foreman of the Grand Jury
We, your Committee on County
Books. respectfully submit the fol-
lowing report:
We have examined the statement
of the Expert Accountant heretofore
appointed and employed by the Board
of County Commissioners and dated
June 30, 1918, and as the said state
ment and report showed that a very
thorough examination of said books
and finances of said county have been
made, therefore we do not think it
necessary to make a further examin-
alton.
We accepted the County Commits
sioners count of money on hand De-
cember l, 1913, as correct, owing to
the fact that the Treasurer's books
are open for the payment of taxes,
and the State and County funds have
not been segregated.
We find that on December /, the
Auditor and Treasurer's balances in
the amount of $21, 307. % as cash on
hand, and this amount is reported by
the Board of County Commissioners
as correct.
We also find that the books of the
several County officers are neatly and
well kept.
The report of the Expert Account
ant is hereto attached for your in
spection.

Roads and Bridges

To the Foreman of the Grand Jury
We, your Committee appointed by
you to report on the condition of the
roads and bridges of this County
hereby submit u report as follows:
Owing to the condition of the
weather and also of the limited time
at our command, we are only able to
make a report on how we found the
roads and streets in the town of En-
reka and vicinity, which are in very
good condition.
From our knowledge of the road
from the Iron Mines to the Duborg
ranch, it is in very bad shape and al
most unfit for travel. While people
not living in that vicinity think that
there is but very little travel on said
road, we know that there is consider
able travel thereon during all seasons.
We recommend that as soon as the
weather permits that the Commits
sioners take immediate steps towards
putting said road in proper shape so
that teams of at least two horses can
travel over it with safety.

DENVER, Nov. lO.-Aftcr few days of comparative peace the mine riots have broken out again tiercer than ever. While the militia last week were ordered to disarm the striking miners and did secure a considerable number of rifles and d large quantity of ammunition 1t was commonly sup poses that the men had hidden a con . siderable amount of war munitions in the hills. This supposition proved to he well founded when today the min CTS in better organization and better armed than ever resumed their attack on the stockades held by the mine guards and non union men.
 The resumption of hOstilities by the miners this time has taken on the as peCt of a real war. There seems to he some sort of military direction tn their movements and they are going about their work of unlawful destruc . tion in businesslike manner. Bridges have been burned to harrass the move . mcnts of the troops and the strikers have prepared more or less scientitlcal- Iy designed defences for themselves in case they are forced to make last stand before the soldiers.
