 Grand Jury Report.
 Clifton, Arizona, Oct. 15, 1914. To the Hon. F. B. Laine, Judge, Superior court, Greenlee
 County, Arizona.
 Sir:
 We, the Grand Jurors, having been Investigating all matters brought be- fore us, beg leave to submit the fol- lowing report:
 We found one defendant, Benino Montez, in the county jail, against whom no indictment or information had been filed, and after hearing the evidence in the case, more than twelve Grand Jurors concurred in finding true bill, towit:
 State of Arizona vs. Benino Montez, Murder. VV v institutions and offices, and found them in very satisfactory condition, with the following exceptions: l We recommend that a filing cabi- net for papers and documents be in stalled in the office of the County Treasurer.
 In the office of the County Superin- | tendent of Schools, we find that the Register of Vouchers is kept in manner which is confusing, and would recommend that the name of the original payee of all vouchers ap- pear in such register in addition to the name of the bank or other insti- tuition which cashes same, and that each voucher be entered separately. We would also recommend that all vouchers issued by the County School Superintendent drawn on the General Fund show definitely in an ftemized statement for what purpose or pur- poses the amount was expended.
 In our inspection of the County Jail, we found everything in satisfac- tory condition, but we would respect fully direct your attention to the fact that the Board of Supervisors have not carried out the recommends tions of the last Grand Jury with re- gard to the installation of padded cell We would recommend that the Board of Supervisors proceed at once to install either a padded cell or a flexible cell in the County Jail, this being an absolute necessity for taking care of insane persons while in the custody of the Sheriff.
 We found the water service furnish ed the Court House and Jail to be entirely inadequate, and recommend lthat the Board of Supervisors de- mand of the Clifton Water Company that they install pipe to connect win the large main on the front street of sufficient capacity to supply the Court House and Jail with an amount [of water which will be sufficient for all purposes.
 We especially wish to thank the Honorable County Attorney for his able efforts in giving us assistance in securing witnesses and advising us on points of law; alo the other county officials for courtesies extended us
 Respectfully submitted,
 c. B. NONNAMAKER, Foreman
