 We. the Grand Jury for the regu- lar March. 1917, term of this Court. duly convened on the goth day of March. 1917. respectfully beg to sub init to your honor the following re port:
 We have investigated all matters wherewith we have been charged. and have, from time to time. re turned such indictments as the testi- mony before us pertaining thereto seemed to justify.
 We have returned p indictments marked as true bills" and have re turned two indictments marked not a true bill"
 We have examined 9S witnesses in the course of our investigations.
 We have examined all the Federal Offices and Public Schools of Fair banks. and were met with the great est courtesy and generous offers of assistance in the investigations.
 We believe that, with the limited facilities at hand the business in the various offices is conducted in an etIl. cient manner
 AS to the Court House. this Grand Jury, assuming that the Government does not see fit to erect a new Fed eral Building, most urgently recon mends that the dilapidated structure
 
 now serving that purpose be reno vated and partly reconstructed. Tho foundation is in bad condition, the toilets are not only inadequate, but are a menace to public health; the wall paper is filthy and torn, the paint shabby the linoleum worn and the roof of the building leaks.
 It is very necessary to have Grand Jury room the semi-public place now provided Is absolutely un- suitable for the purpose
 The Petit Jury room should be properly ventilated and equipped for health and comfort.
 We cannot too strongly recommend that a Secret Service man be provid- ed at once for the detection of crimes and criminals.
 We found the Jail immediately clean, and, though crowded to its CdpdClly, we'll NtIllIlItd
 We examined the Detention Hos pital and found 1t clean and well kept.
 We recommend that wire lenders be provided for the radiators, and heavy wire screens for the windows, also that necessary equipment be procured for the safety of the in mates and protection to the keepers.
 The back yard should be enclosed with a suitable wire fence to prevent escape of prisoners.
 We visited the Public Schools and were shown in detail a splendid sys- tenn of mental and physical training.
 We regret, upon requesting a fire drill, that we found the alarm sys- tenn out of order; we therefore strongly recommend that a positive system of warning be provided in addition to the electric signals now in use, and that those in authority see that the entire system is test ed to insure its efficiency and that some one person be held responsible for It's care.
 We examined the Fairbanks Mu- nicipal Building The foundation is defective and the second floor is in sufficiently supported. We recommend that no large number of people be admitted to the second story, as the structure Is considered unsafe.
 We fully appreciate the assistance given us by the Judge of this Court, the District Attorney. the Clerk of Court, the Commissioner, and their deputies. and the deputies of the MarshaIs office.
 It has been a pleasure to witness the harmony existing between these several departments.
 All of which Is respectfully sub mitted
