no question but what more strict
enforcement of statutes would have
wholesome effect and extend long
way toward putting humanity on a
higher plane as we'll as make for NOR
atty in every sense.
I'VE suggest more action against
these violators by officers intrusted
with this duty and not such a passive
attitude which rather tends to in
crease than destroy these misde-
meanors.
The jurors report that in forty-five
cases investigated thirty-five indict-
ments were returned.
More land for the county infirmary
is needed, also building for women
inmates of the institution, the report
sets forth. The Home for the Friend

need of repairs. Prosecutor Strayer
and Sheriff Carr are commended for
the work they have done in connection
with the grand jury's investigations.
