Ths grand jury had been in ses-
s,ou since Monday. 1t found il ad-

Ems in Jail, though the offenses were
AZ result OF this situation the jury
,-snared the following recommends
inns for the public and parties con-
errued. Appended is the first recon-
nendation:
we find that there are many petty
onepses committed in the county
ybere the accused persons have been
hound over to the grand jury by po-
lice magistrates and justices OF the
wace. and We recommend that the po-
lie magistrates and justices of the
peace make final disposition of these
csses when the same can be done un-
der their statutory jurisdiction"
The second recommendation indi-
Gates that complaint has been made
Of the handling Of offenders by peace
officers, and is as follows:
While we realize that police officers
lave their patience tried by habitual
and belligerent offenders, we recon-
mend that in making arrests of these
persons they call on bystanders for
assistance before using force, unless
4 becomes necessary to use force"
IN the third it finds that Rock Is
land hotel arrangements have beer
negligent in permitting young couples
10 register as man and wife and in
allowing them to rent rooms. We fur
,her recommend that the hotels use
extra precautions in such matters"
