your attention to the work that mas

time as conditions may demand"
The report of the grand jury fol-
lows:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County:
The Grand Jury for the June Term
of the Circuit Court for Garrett coun-
ty for the year 1922, having been in
session for the past four days, and
having completed the wo.k required
of us, now desire to report to the
Court that we have diligently enquir-
ed into all violations of the law and
have faithfully endeavored to per-
form all of the duties incumbent upon
us and to follow out the instructions
of the Court.
We have had before Us and have
examined one hundred and six wit
nesses, and have found presentments
and indictments in all cases where the
evidence justified it.
AS instructed by the Court we have
looked over and examined the records
in the several county offices, and are
gratified to find that they are neatly
and Systematically kept, and we de-
sire to commend those in charge for
their efforts in the conduct of their
offices, and for their uniform courtesy
to all persons who have business be-
fore them. In this connection how
ever, we would recommend that an
additional book case be provided for
the office of the Orphans Court.
AS instructed by the Court, we have
also examined the several county
buildings, and find that they are in
general good condition, but would
suggest that repairs be made to the
court house roof over entrance on
Alder street, also the composition
caps on the columns should be re-
newed. The steps at both entrances
need repairs as well as the other ce-
ment work in and around said build
ing.
We commend the jan'tor of the
court house for his manifest pride
in his work, and for the neat and
attractive condition in which he keeps
the court house and grounds.
We recommend that an outlet
should be made in the boiler room of
the court house to enable the janitor
to remove the ashes with a wheel
barrow.
We have also examined the sheriff's
residence and the county jail, and are
pleased to report to the Court that
we find the Jail in a sanitary con-
dition, and well kept, but we par
ticularly recommend that immediate
steps be taken to repair the plumb
ing in the Jail so that sanitary and
healthful condition of this property
can be maintained. We find that the
prisoners in the Jail are comfortably
and well provided for.
We recommend that the floor cover
ing in the sheriff's Office should be
removed, and that the kitchen and the
dining room in the basement should
be painted.
We desire to extend to his Honor
Judge Boyd, our appreciation and
thanks for his considerate and cour-
teous treatment.
We desire to express our thanks to
the States Attorney William R.
Offutt for his constant and able as
sistance.
We notice with deep regret the I'M
rest in the mining sections of our
county and while as yet our atten-
ton has not been directed to any
specific acts of violence, and we trust
that there will not be any, and that
law and order will be maintained and
the honor and the dignity of the
State upheld, we cannot help but feel
that those who desire to labor for
the support and maintenance of
themselves and their families should
be fully protected and their rights Sc
cured and preserved, and this Grand
Jury desires to state to the Court
that they stand willing and ready to
reconvene at any time and to lend
their aid in full and complete en-
forcement of the law.
We now beg to be discharged.
