GRAND JURY REPORT

To the Honorable, the Superior Court, of Coconino County, Ariz.
 We, the members of the Grand Jury convened Nov. 2nd, 1915, re- spectfully submit to the Honorable Court our findings in matters hay ing come before us, to wit: The Grand Jury in course of their dut7 ies visited the County Jail and were favorably impressed with the con- dition in which it was found, both from a sanitary standpoint and from treatment afforded the prison CTS, several of whom were inter viewed and expressed themselves we'll satisfied with the treatment received. The only recommends tion this Jury can make in regard to the jail and which is made only with the view of assisting sanitary conditions is that of the interior painting of the jail, at least every twelve months.
 The Jury then made an inspect ion of our County Hospital and were all of the impression that the management was doing all in their power for the inmates. The sani- tary condition is excellent, consid- eIing the fact that there is not suf- fcient room for all the calls placed upon the hospital, and this Grand Jury recommends that immediate steps be taken by the Board of Supervisors of this county to relieve the congestion there by a wing on the east side or in any other place that in their estimation would re- ieve the burden. There is at the present time no available place for the proper housing of female tubercular patients, which condl- ton should be remedied at once.
 We also recommend the installa- tion of an ex-ray machine suitable for place of that size to assist the county physician in properly look ing after his charges.
 We also heartily recommend the installation of a heating plant at the Hospital, as the present plan of heating is not adequate or satisfac- tory.
 We also find that the county court house itself is not of sufficient size to properly take care of the business of the county, in as much as the space allotted to some of the county officers is not sufficient for their needs, for instance the court should be provided with suitable court and jury rooms. At the pres ent time the jury rooms are not available. Also provisions should be made for the office of Superior Court Clerk to be adjacent to the court room or Judges chambers.
 We feel the vaults now in the Supervisors office, as well as the Clerks office, are inadequate
 We also recommend the installa- tion of a suitable heating plant in the county building, as the present method of heating is both unsatis- factory and expensive, and in any contemplated changes in this building we feel that proper atten- tion should be given to the install ation of sufficient toilet accommod- ations to take care of the buildings need.
 We then entered into an exhaus- tive investigation of the prohibition amendment to our constitution as passed at the last general election, nd after closely examining some 35 witnesses from differ ent parts of the county, we find that there is an opinion that the laws are being violated in some few instances, but we have been un- able to get sufficient and convincing evidence to enable our taking any definite action upon the question.
 It is therefore the consensus of opinion of this grand jury that our county officers are untiring in their efforts, as it is evidenced by arrests and convictions made, to keep
