REPORT OF THE GRAND
JURY.

To the Honorable Judge James
Simon, Judge of the Nineteenth
Judicial District Court, in and Tor
the Parish of Iberia, State OF Lou
isiana
Sir
We the grand jurors empaneled
and sworn in and for the Parish OF
Iberia Louisiana, do respectfully
submit this our report, DIS follows;
We have examined the Court
House, and find same kept as
clean as possible under present
conditions, we find that the roof
is in very bad state Of repair,
and is in urgent need Of attention
and to avoid any further damages
to the buildings and the contents
from the rains, and before the
plastering fall entirely from the
walls and ceiling. it should be I'M
mediately repaired, and this Grand
Jury urges the Police Jury 10 90
it's duty in this matter
We also find that there are not
sufficient nor proper chairs for the
seating of the members of the bar,
nor the jury, nor witnesses, IN the
Court room, nor in the Police Jury
room, and we recommend that
either the Judge or the Police
Jury at once, secure the necessary
chairs for the purpose enumerated
above.
We have examined the Parish
Jail and find that it is in a clean
condition, except that the plumb
ing therein is defective, and out of
repair, and for sanitary and by.
genie reasons it should be repaired
at once.
We would also suggest that bet
ter provision be made for the care
of the sick in the Parish Jail, and
that they be separated from the
other prisoners, to avoid a spread
of contagious diseases if any
should appear, and that more
medical attention be given the
prisoners.
We would recommend that the
compulsory school attendance law
of 1916, be enforced in the Parish
of iberia, and that the School
Board make necessary provision
therefor, and the Grand Jury
would also recommend that provi.
sion or regulation be made by the
School Board to care for the
drinking water at the public
schools, and prevent the indiscri
inmate use of water by others than
school children and teachers.
The Grand Jury would also re
quest that the superintendent and
members of the School Board visit
the Public Schools occasionally.
We would also recommend that
the Police Jury, owing to the large
amount of money heretofore spent
on the Public Roads of this Par.
ish, and on account of the condi
ton of the Public Roads leading
to the Parish seat, that these
roads be put 10 as good condition
as the means of the Parish will
permit, by dragging the said
roads, and repairing the bridges.
We find that the laws are gen.
orally respected, that the people
of the Parish of Iberia are peacea
bic and law abiding.
We find that all the Parish Off
GERS have performed their duties
faithfully and impartially.
We have examined seventy
cases presented to us, and have
found true bills, and no true
bills.
We take this means of thanking
the 0fncers IN attendance on the
Grand Jury for their c0urtesjes
and efficient service.
Respectfully submitted,
