port:
To the Honorable Jas. Fl. Neville
Judge of Second Judicial District:
After having been empaneled and
charged, we retired to the Grand Jury
Room and began as we think very
thorough investigation of the viola
ton of the criminal laws of the county
of Jackson. We have been in session
for the past five days, and have eX-
amined 60 witnesses and have return
ed into Your Honor's Court 81 in
dictments.
We have examined the various
offices of the county officials, and so
far as our investigations reveals we
find same to be well kept and orderly.
We have examined the county Jail
and find the same in only fair con-
dition, and recommend that the sheriff
use such steps as he deems necessary
to put same in first class sanitary
condition. The prisoners therein seem
We have examined the county roads
as best we could and appreciate that
the present season has been most
severe on same, but do most urgently
insist that the Board of Supervisors as
soon as practicable begin work on said
roads so as to put the roads in such
condition as the same should be.
Our investigation of the roads reyels
a condition existing on what is known
as the Pascagoula-M Highway
that we most urgently insist that neces
sary steps be taken to remedy same
We are informed and
know that the Board of Supervisors
Of Jackson county grant the Southern
Paper Mill the privilege of laying a
pipe line on the outer edge of said
right of way, but the conditions of this
contract have been most flagrantly vio-
lated and we find that said pipe line in
many instances is laid down as far as
ZEN feet from the side of said road, !
and which interferes to very great
sxtent with the traffic on said road |
We find that the roads intersecting |
he Pascagoula- Mobile highway that in |
instances it is almost impossible to
PASS said highway by virtue of said
lpe line being on said highway and
,eing permitted to either be in raised
n sunken condition, and we feel that
We cannot insist too strongly that the
Board of Supervisors take immediate
teps to have the Southern Paper Mill
with their part of the above
mentioned contract.
We find hat the road in District 3,
,nown as the Pine Island road, should
lave some work done on same as soon
S the member of said district can
do same.
We wish to call the Board of Super
isors attention to that piece of road
unning from West Side to Sardin
known as the old Biloxi
road, as, we find that this
DAD has been neglected for some time {
nd feel that the same should have i'm
Mediate attention Of the Board of
supervisors.
We wish to call the Board of Sup
rvisors attention to the contract or
made by the Board of c
to the United States t
overnment for the purpose of sani- I
Try work in Jackson county, said ap- I
.opriation having been deposited in a
local bank and made subject to the 7
heck of one Doctor Frank, who rep ?
,sents this district in such sanitary J
ork. We have been informed that a
lie Board of Supervisors has with ;
rawn said appropriation and that E
lere is now a difference between the v
-iginal appropriation and the amount \
,turned to the county in sum of n
pproximately nine hundred dollars, p
no we suggest that the Board of n
rpervisors take immediate steps to \
cover said nine hundred dollars and ;
turn the same to the treasury of the
,unty. II
In conclusion we wish to thank your
NOR and the other officers of the
,urt for consideration shown us dur 5
z our deliberations, and now having II
lished our labors we submit this our Z
lal report and beg that the same be 81
ceived and that we be discharged. W
