We, the Grand Jurors elected, en-
paneled, charged and wor to in
quire in and for the County and
State aforesaid at and for the term
of court aforesaid herewith submit
to Your Honor our final report:
We beg to report that we have
been in session 5'days, that we have
examined 81 witnesses and returned
into open court Id true bills.
We have investigated the public
school. building and find that INSULT
cient protection is offered in the way
of fire escapes, and that those escapes
that are there are in bad condition
and unsafe. We advise that the hand
rods over the escapes be braced in the
center in order to strengthen them.
We Investigated the college and find
there no fire escapes at all. except
the stairways inside the building,
making it a very unsafe place in the
event of fire. We examined the no.
tells and found them in fairly good
shape.
We have examined the County
Home and found there three inmates,
q white woman, a negro woman and
a negro man; we found the premises
there neat and clean and the inmates
seemed to be we'll fed and taken care
nicely treated.
We have examined the County Jail
and beg to report that the same is
kept in a neat and sanitary condition
and that the premises thereof are
we'll kept. The inmates are all well
cared for and according to u in
vestigation, humanely treated.
We have examined the county rec
ords kept by the County Auditor,
James B. Keeton, and find them kept
neatly and correctly and in accord
ance with law.
In accordance with the charge rem
dered by Your Honor we have made
a thorough and painstaking investiga-
ton in regard to shortage of weights
and measures, especially with regards
to Ice, and desire to state that in u
opinion there is just cause for the
complaints that are being made, but
for reasons sufficient we have de-
ferred further action along this line
at this time, but respectfully suggest
to the Court that the Grand Jury sue
ceeding us have this matter called to
their attention and that an investi-
cation be made to see and ascertain
if there are still grounds for COM
plants, and if so, that proper action
be taken along those lines.
We find that much just complaint
is being made on account of the con
l.%sNr &c tho while rNo1c o n,rr
county, and while realizing the diff
culties with which road workers
have had to contend, we desire to call
the attention of the proper authorities
to this subject, and ask that condi-
tons be remedied as soon as posi-
BILE.
We desire to thank Your Honor for
the very able charge delivered to us
last Monday, and also to thank the
officials of the Court for the very
courteous treatment we have received
at the hands of each and every one
of them and for the assistance rem
dered us in our Investigations.
We wish to express our apprecia-
ton for the valuable assistance furn-
ished us by the District Attorney,
MI. David E. Crawley. We feel that
it would be base ingratitude to fail
to express our thanks to him for his
valuable aid and the many courtesies
he has shown us during this session
of the Grand Jury.
And now having completed our lab
ors, we beg to be discharged.
