We have carefully examined all the
witnesses In the various cases brought

1--WE have investigated 81 cases and
have examined 81 witneasen; we have
found true bills In 10 cases and no
bills In Is cases.
Your grand jury has visited the
county jail and the county Offices.
We find that the Jail and premises

We commend the efficient way In
which the jail In kept. noting partiou-
iarly that walls. floors. beds aud other
equipment are exceptionally clean and
In sanitary condition. with this ex-
ception, however. the grand Jury
recommends that the system Of
plumbing now In use ls not the proper
equipment for the continued sanitary

tho county jail.

cause disease among the prisoners
confined therein. We suggest that

I'D that It would eliminate the yarloun
pipes and connections that are now
In use and would also suggest the
OF the toilets In the
southeast portion OF the Jail, with
A view OF putting our county Jail in
A more sanitary and proper condition.
II IN further recommended that some
system OF heat be Installed and we
suggest that the "Arcoia"
system be Investigated. for In
our opinion IL would be difficult TO
Install a hot-air furnace on account
of the necessity OF having to eNcavatc

desire to express our appreciation OF
tho courtcsiev extended TO uH BY An
tonic Ortiz. the sheriff OF BernaAllo
county. We have inspected the
various offices In the county court
house and found same In excellent
condition with the exception OF tho
llnolcum ON the floor OF the county
clerks Office. also found that the re-
ccipts OF the treasurers Office are not
properly protected against fire, for
the lack of vault space In his Office.
We also call attention to the plaster
In the ceiling Of the probate court
room, which needs attention. We ba-
lieve that the county officers are at
tending TO their respective duties
faithfully and that good work IL being
done by all.
Attendance Good.
The grand jury is pleased to report
that the school laws with reference
To the attendance OF children are be-
ing observed. The grand jury finds
that the carrying pf deadly weapons
by citizens Is going ON
To such an extent that the peace and
tranquility OF the people hre being
endangered and We strongly recon-
mend that tho officers make special
Efforts to enforce the laws touching
the matter OF carrying deadly
weapOns
The grand Jury finds that man,
uuarrcls and breaches Of the peace
have resulted from the carryong on
OF dances. without proper policing OF

thnt the proper officers be required to
police these dances In order that
crime and disorders may be prevent.
