 Division.

 the Territory of Alaska, Fourth | Judicial Division.
 We, the grand jury for the regular March, 1919. term Of this court, duly convened on the 25th day of March. 1919. respectfully beg to submit to your Honor the following report:
 We have investigated all matters wherewith We have been charged. and have. from time to time, return ed such indictments as the testi- mony before us pertaining thereto seemed to justify. We have returned indictments marked as True Bills" and have returned l indictment marked "Eot q True Bill"
 We have examined 12 witnessea in the course of our investigations.
 We have examined all the federal offices and were met with the great est courtesy, and generous offers of assistance in the investigations.
 We belil@ bat. with the limited !, :9cilities f3..l He hrsiress in the ,ar;oue offices .s conadc,od la 2n r,- ficient manner.
 An examination of the federal building shows a great improvement over its condition during the pa.t four years. Much needed repairs were made during the past year with the result that it is now in good shape and for a structure of it's kind is well appointed. The fact that 1t has been put in excellent con dition ought not however, to be reason for failing to provide in tl,1 near future a more commodious and suitable building.
 We found the jail immediately clean and well ventilated, altho found very poor quarters for women.
 We have examined the detention hospital and found 1t clean and well kept. We recommend that section 2263 of the compiled laws of Alaska be repealed.
 We visited the city Jail and tho in good condition found there had been no inmates for four months.
 We especially recommend that the health officer be instructed to inspect the dairy cows of the district for tuberculosis and conta agious diseases.
 We fully appreciate the assistance given us by the judge of this court. the district attorney. the clerk of court, the marshars office, the com missioner. and their deputies.
 It has been pleasure to witness the harmony existing between these several departments. All OI WulCH IS reSpcCeiuhy ouO mitted. Dated at Fairbanks, Alaska. this 29th day of March. 1919. | s. l.. MAGNUSSEN, Foreman.
