the relief cf the refugees, it is slid that
the relief committee has held serera
executive meetings to determine what
shall be done with this money. It is
claimed that tbe directors ot tbe relief
work find that the need of rel:ef has
passed except in such cases as can be
aken care of by the regular charity
organizations.
Allan Polok, it is said, is in favor of
establishing a $2,000,000 hospital with a
part of tbe fund while Herbert E. Law
would turn the fund over to tbe regular
charity organizations. As the wishes of
the donors of tbe relief funds may have
to be consulted, no decision has as yet

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION,
144 Berkeley Street, Boston, Maes.
We, the grand jnry, regularly drawn
for the November term of Circuit
Co'irt, respectfully report to the Court
as follows:
We have been in session eight days,
and during that time have investigated
a great many caes presented to us by
interested persons, and have returned
into court eevn true bills aim one
presentment, lu a number of cases we
have examined nu uerous witnesFes,
but have not dcerred the evidence
sufficient to warrant the returning of
indictments. Our work has been
necessarily prolonged on account of thj
necessity for tbe examination of intri
cate accounts, and expert reports, in
addition to the ordinary matters usually
brought to the attention o? the grand
jury.
We have examined the various county
offices and investigated the different
county officers and the conduct of their
respective offices, and generally speak
ing we find tbe officers attentive to their
duty, accommodating and obliging.
One of the most important matte's
brought to our attentioo was the ex
amination of the various books and
records and accounts of the various
officers of this County. In this investi
gation we haye been greatly assisted by
the report of the accountants heretofore
employed by the County Court to
examine tbe said books and records and
to report their findings to the Court.
Such report has bet n made and will be
filed for public record where the public
wi'l have an opportunity of examining
each repot t, and for that reason we will
not go into detail in n aking up our final
report. Tbe shortages in the office of
clerk and sheriff have been made good,
and all money paid to tbe county except
such as should and must be adjusted
through tbe county court where the
objections to liabi'ity can be made.
In the office of the County Clerk we
find a shortage to exist amounting to
8446,16 and covering a period of the last
eight years. We have no hesitancy in
saying, however that we believe that
none of the shortage reported by the
account ints in the Clerk's office was
intentionally appropriated by the
County Clerk for that period or his
deputies, but that such shortage was
brought about, to a large extent, by
misinterpretation cf the law as regards
the collecton of certain fees and by
mistakes in book keeping.
In tbe office of the County sheriff, we
find that tbe sheriff spent but little time
in his ofhee proper, but left the details
of the office work, such as keeping the
books and records and cash accounts to
bis deputies; and that tbe sheriff him
self performed tbe duty necessary to be
performed other than tbe keeping of tbe
books and accounts and attending to tbe
indoor office work. In this office we
find a shortage amounting to $453.56;
aud in this office, like tbe office of tbe
County Clerk, we have made careful
investigation and have reached the con
clusion that no money was intentionally
appropriated by either the sheriff or his
deputies, but that such shortage was
brought about entirely by the failure of
the deputy who kept tbe books to
properly and correctly balance his
accounts, or to keep a proper system of
the records as they should be kept.
The shortage in this ofh.ee covers a
period of sevoral years, but so far as
this report is concerned we epf ak only
ot the last four years. We are satisfied
under such careful examination as we
have made that there is nothing upon
which to bace an indictment or criminal
prosecution, and that the system of
hook keeping in effect in this county is
largely responsible for the mietakes
hat have occurred, and we most
earnestly recommend that the County
Court provide for a better system of
book keeping and that, if necessary,
. ..... i , .
pome accountant ie empioyeu 10
establish such system and acquaint the
various county officers with it, and that
at least every two years such books be
checked up ana audited. He think
h:e will protect the public and the
officers alike and will be a saving to the
County.
We have investigated the County
Hospital for the poor and find the same
reasonably well Kept and have no
recommendations to make.
We have also examined the County
jail and it has been reported to us that
the County Court is making pre
parations to repair the same so as to
make it secure so that prisoners cannot

County Court we recommend that it be
done at once.
We also recommend that the Ccnnty
Court establish a small incandecent
light near the steps at the froot of tbe
Court house.
We also recommend that the Counly
Court furnish a suitable desk or table
for the grand jury or district attorney's
room in the court house where evi
dences before the grand jury or D's
trict Attorney may be properly cared
for and protected.
We also recommend that in the grand
jury room the court provide ratks for
hats and hooka for coats.
We would also recommend that some
provision be made tor beds for the trial
jury room where juries deliberating up
on a case during the night and unable
to agree many have an opportunity to
rest.
some matters have been brought to
our attention where iurther investi
gation should be made which would re
quire considerable time, and we feel
that it is not necessary for us to remain
in seesion, but thtt such matters will
be further inquired into bv the Dis
trict Attorney and such action as to bim
seems proper w ill be taken, and now
having finished our labors, we respect
fully ask to be discharged.
Thanking the Court for its kind and
courteous treatment during our sitting
