Eeport of Grand Jury.
In the circuit court of Wasco county
for tbe state of Oregon :
In the matter of the final report of the
grand jury for February term, 1894.
We, the grand jury respectfully re
port that we have been in session ten
dsys, and have found and returned into
court three indictments and three not
true bills, 'and have also inquired into
several matters brou'ht before us that
did not warrant indictments, upon
which no report has been made.
We also inquired into the condition
and management of the clerk's, sheriff's
and treasurer's otfice-i, and' found them
all in good condition, and all books
neatly kept, and all correct so far as we
are able to jude.
We find the county jail poor venti
lated an 1 would recommend that the
county court have a high wall built, the
same as the present wall, commencing
on tbe esat side of . door in rear of the
jail
. We also recommend that the floor in
the county jail be repaired and the walls
whitewashed.' .
' We also visited the county poor farm
and found it nicely kept and the inmates
well pleased with their treatment.
We also visited the city jail and
thoroughly, examined the same ; we
found it in a very bad condition unfit
for comfort or safety, and would recom
mend that the same be repaired.
We would respectfully ask all justices
of the peace to be more careful and not
bind over to the grand jury any person
that is punishable in the juBtice court,
either by fine or imprisonment, and not
to send doubtful cases to the grand jury
to be thrown out, and thereby save a
very great expense to the county. .
Having, completed our labors we re
spectfully ask to be discharged.
