Saturday evening and at $40
o'clock submitted the following to
Judge Quicker as its final report:
Complaint has been made to
this grand jury that some saloons
and resorts within the county are
being conducted in disorderly
manner, and we recommend that the
county commissioners request all
peace officers within the county
to present them promptly with evil
dence SO that steps may be taken
to revoke licenses of any saloons OF
resorts that are being run in a dis
orderly manner. Complaints have
been made that minors have been
frequenting saloons, poolrooms and
houses in the restricted district and
that intoxicants have been sold to
minors in such places and we now
recommend to the county COM
missioners and the city peace Off
GERS that they take Immediate steps
to notify all parties concerned that
the frequenting of the places men,
toned by minors must be stopped
and we further recommend that
the county commissioners revoke the
license of any place found guilty Of
permitting minors to frequent such
a place, or of selling or giving in
toxicants to a minor.
