To the Honorable Geo. k. Haynle,
 Judge of the Eighth Judicial Dis
 trict:
 We, the Grand Jury empanelled for the 1917 term of the Nevada Circuit Court, submit the following report:
 We have examined 122 witnesses and have returned 65 indictments.
 We find the public records we'll kept and all those in office attentive to the affairs entrusted to them.
 We have relied on the report of the commissioner of accounts for the cor rectness of the accounts of the col lecting officers of the county.
 We find that all justices of the peace and constables have filed their reports as required by law.
 The committee appointed to investi- gate the poor farm, reports this prop erty in first class condition, and re- port two inmates, husband and wife.
 The committee appointed to investi- gate the city jail report it in excel lent condition
 he Grand Jury in body inspected the county jail. It was found to be inadequate for the number of prison CTS confined. We find that white and black prisoners are compelled to use the same toilet, which we feel should be changed, and we so recommend it.
 The odor about the building is bad and our investigation leads us to be- lieve that the sewer system is not working properly and, should be given attention by the property authority. A crack in the building should also be given attention.
 The condition at the jail is not, we think, the fault of the jailer, but the jail is not large enough, for the num- Der confined at times, and as stated, repairs and changes appear to be abso lutely necessary to keep the jail in a sanitary condition at all times.
 The Grand Jury feels that this mat ter should be referred to the quorum court for attention.
 Citizens in Georgia township are complaining at the hog law as being constantly violated. The Grand Jury has passed this matter, but feel that if in the future the law is not com piled with, that the next Grand Jury investigate the matter more fully.
 The Grand Jury believing in good roads desires to call the attention of the county judge and road overseers to the law governing the warning of hands. We feel that the road over seers should be held personally res ponsible for failure to comply with this law.
 Patrons in school district No. 9 re- port no school, although they appear to have funds on hand with which to carry on a school for at least time. We call the attention of the county judge to this fact and ask that he in- vestigate.
 We recommend that justices of the peace enforce the law as to misde- meanors and save the Grand Jury's Investigating.
 We have investigated all matters brought to our attention that in our judgment would warrant investiga- ton, and where we felt the law had been violated.
 We thank your honor for the cour-' tesies extended us, and we thank all the officers of the court for the con siderate treatment shown us, and also our bailiff for his faithful services. We now ask to be discharged
