We, the undersigned grand jury for the November term, 1895, of said court, make this our final report and respect fully represent : That we have carefully examined into all charges of crime presented to us, id d have returned into court seventeen true bills and seven not true bills, be sides examining numerous cases which had 00 merit. We employed Mr. E. C. Hackett to examine the books and account of the diffierent county officers for the period beginning July 1st, 1894, to November 1st, 1895, inclusive, who found that the public money received by the county clerk, sheriff, county recorder, county treasurer, county schoo 1 superintendent and cointy assessor has been correctly accounted for by each of said officers. The report of said expert is hereto annexed. We visited the several county offices and examined their books and accounts and found them neat and as far as we could judge correctly kept. We visited the county jail and found it neat and well kept, and the prisoners as well cared for aa can be with tbe present facilites . While there are some improvements that should be made in order to make tbe jail, outside of tbe cells, more secure, but owing to the financial condition of the county we do not recommend such improvement at this tim j but suggest that the jailor keep the prisoners locked Id the cell excep at such time when he can have personal supervision of them . We visited the city jail and found it neat and well kept. There being complaint by the people on account of high taxes we have care fully examined the original bills allowed by the county court from July 1st, 1894, to November 1st, 1895, inclusive. We found that much of the public expense is due to defective, or injudicious legis lation. In our judgement the bills allowed for public printing, stationery and ollice supplies hare been exorbitant. The pHuper account should be more carefully managed. We find that orders for goods have been given to paupers in many cases without restriction as to kind or quality of goods, and in our opinion exorbitant prices have been paid for goods furnished to paupers. We think that the assessor's office is osting the county a great deal more than it should and think the county court should not pay the deputy assesors four dollars per day but that they should be paid not to exceed three dollars per day. We also think the sheriff's office Is costing the county too much money. In our opinion the work could be per formed with a less number of deputies As the costs of justice's court In the county have exceeded the sum of $2000 for the the past year. We recomend that the justices of the peace carefully scrutinize criminal cases before putting the county to costs, end unless there be a strong probability of securing a convic tion that they dispose of criminal cases iu the justice court instead of sending; them to the grand jury. The expert in his report lias expressed an opinion in reirard to the sheriff is.ming tax receipts to Clackamas county for property sold to the county amounting in the agregate to $5,134 37. We have investigated this matter and alter hearing the sheriffs explanation are of the opinion that there is no error on the part of the sheriff in this matter. And now having completed our work we ask to be dLwharged. John Lcwkllen, foreman. James F. Nelson, clerk. A. B. Marih-am. J. E. Mitts. A. J. Thompson. J. K. MiC'onneli- P.A.Baker.
