To the Honorable, the Judges OF the

The grand jurors of the State OF
Maryland, for the body of Carroll
county, for the November term, in the
year nineteen hundred and thirteen,
respectfully report to your Honorable
Court:
That they have during the time they
have been in session, four days, IN
vestigated q cases brought to
their attention, found Is presentments
and true bills in Is cases and deter
mined to find no presentments ana
true bills in three cases examined.
We have examined the license rec
ords in the Clerks office and found
quite a number of persons doing busl-
ness without a traders license, and
a number of persons dealing in real
estate without real estate license.
We suggest and advise the States
Attorney to notify such persons en-
gagged in business, either merchandise
or real estate, requiring license, and
upon their failure to comply with the
law, to institute criminal proceedings
before a Justice of the Peace against
them.
As required by law this body visited
the Jail of the county and found the
building we'll kept by the present
sheriff.
The grand jurors also visited the
Almshouse of the county and are
pleased to say that this institution, as
now conducted, is one of the best ln
the State, and that the Commissioners
as we'll as the steward, Mr.. Hum pert,
and his wife, are also to be highly
commended for the splendid condition,
care and management of the institu-
ton.
The grand jurors were entertained
at the Jail and at the Almshouse by
Mr. Davis, sheriff, and Mr.. Humbert,
steward, with delightful refreshments.
There being nothing further To- en-
gage the attention of the grand jurors
they respectfully ask to be discharged,
subject to the further call OF your
Honorable Court.
Respectfully submitted,
JACOB RUPP. Foreman.
