To the Hon. J. M. Carter, Judge of
 the Eighth Judicial Circuit:
 We the Grand Jury, empaneled for the July 1914 term of the Nevada County Circuit Court beg leave to submit the following report:- ] We have examined 143 witnesses and have returned 355 indictments.
 We have returned indictments where in our judgment the evidence would warrant us in doing so.
 We find many minor offenses are brought before the Grand Jury that should be disposed of before Town ship officers, thereby saving the Coun- ty much unnecessary expense.
 We find that several dealers in smoking tobacco allow cigarette pap CTS to be stored away in a convenient place, in their places of business and customers arc permitted to carry them away. And we would suggest to such dealers in smoking tobacco, that they promptly destroy all cigarette papers received in shipments of tobacco and not permit them to remain in their places of business for free distribu- ton.
 We would also suggest that local wholesale dealers destroy all cigarette papers received by them in shipments of tobacco.
 Most witnesses before our body have testified willingly for which we commend them.
 We find the public records of the County neatly and well kept.
 We have not made an extensive in vestigation of the accounts of the col lecting officers of the County, but have relied on the report of the com missioners of Accounts, which re- port We have before us.
 We find that all the Justices of the Peace, except one have filed their re- port as required by law.
 We find also that all Constables, ex cept one have reported.
 We also find from the reports of the Road Overseers, that the public roads of the County are in reasonably good condition.
 We have appointed a committee to Investigate the Poor Farm, which they found in good condition; the building and premises being clean and in sani- tary condition, and the inmates well cared for at the time of their investi- gation, but some complaint has been made to us that the premises have not been kept in as good condition as should have been at all times.
 We recommend that the premiss, at all times be kept in a sanitary condi- tion and not only while the Grand Jury is in session.
 We find that the County Judge is having some such needed repairs made on the County Jail, by having the wall around the West room rebuilt, and as soon as completed, will be in good condition.
 We also find that the Jail is kept
 
 in reasonably sanitary condition and prisoners well cared for.
 We have complaints of drinking and drunkenness at public picnics and gatherings. but find it difficult to get positive proof of same, and would recommend that the township officers use their best efforts to punish such offenders.
 In conclusion we desire to thank your Honor for courtesies extended our body by you. We desire also to thank the officers of the court for their kind and courteous treatment, extend ed us.
 Having completed our labors we now beg to be discharged.
