ITO the Hon Granville A. Richardson
Judge of the District Court of the
Fifth judicial District of tn,
state Of New Mexico, in ana for
the County of Curry;
I'VE. the grand jury cmpaneled
at this February tenn Of the district
court for the county of Curry, sub
nit the following report
1--WE have investigated all matters
coming before us and We have found
ten true bills. which we have report
ed to the court In the course of our
Investigations we have examined for
ty-six witnesses.
We have made a careful oNamina-
ton as to those matters that the court
especially charged us upon and par
ticularly the deadly weapon law. and
we have returned indictments whcr-
ever we have found a violation Of this
law. We find no violations of the
compulsory school law in curry coun-
ty ana find that all officials are prop
crly accounting for the school money
required by law.
1--WE caused to be appointed COM
mittees to examine the various coun-
ty offices, and we find them gencr-
ally satisfactory. In the trensurers
office we find that the treasurer has
installed a system of charts and ac-
counting which has facilitated tho
conduct of his office, which we es-
pecially commend him for and find
his office very neatly and correctly
kept. In the clerks office county
school superintendent. sheriff, assess
or and surveyor we find conditions to
be satisfactory, and their books neat
" and well kept
Jail Repairs Recommended.
In the examination made by our
~ a. Al
jail we find that the Jail door is weak
and improperly constructed for the
safe Keeping of the prisoners in the
Jail aud we would recommend that q
new steel door casing and door b,
constructed with proper locking facil'
tiles. and the readiustment of tht
plumbing in the cell room, and rec
ommcnd that eel be placed up
stairs for the Keeping and use of in
sane. women and minor prisoners,
eve would further recommend &c
the board of county commissioners
that they complete the sidewalk
plans now in the course Of cOnstruc-
ton around the public square of the
court house and that public water
ing place be installed at a proper
place in the court house square.
we wish TO commend the sheriff
office for its efficient and prompt
service in serving process of the grand
jury and it's efficient manner in which
the office is conducted.
I'VE also wish to thank the distric'
attorney for his prompt and efficient
services rendered the grand jury in
conducting our labors.
In conclusion we wish to express
to the court our thanks for his able
and courteous treatment extended
Thus having completed our labors
We respectfully ask TO be discharged,
