We, your Grand Jurors, empaD-

We have examined number of

We tind that the laws through.

We have examined the Jail and
Courthouse, and find that the Jail
should be repalnted inside and the
plumbing therein put in good, san
itary conditions; that the wiring,
for lighting purposes, should be
renewed and that the step at the
entrance to the Jail is WON out
and should be replaced with good,
substantial masonry. With these
exceptions, we fnd the Jail to be
in az clean and sanitary condition
as public building may be kept
under the present conditions.
We have examined tho Court
house and regret to say that we
find this in delapidated condi
ton; the plastering is falling from
the walls, and during the week af

needs of the officers of the Court
and the members of the Bar, nor
for those persons who are called

Owing to these delapidated condi
tons, the Grand Jury would sug

this delapidated Courthouse now
in use be disposed of.
The Grand Jury finds that the
location of the present Courthouse
is not a suitable one, for the rea
son that 1t is in the center of the

the street cars, automobiles and
all other conveyances pass and

the financial condition CT the Par.
|sb, we would suggest that the
Public Roads, with the limited

necessary.
We find that all of the officers
If the Parish are doing their duty,
md that the violations of the law
