In the circuit -court of the state of Oregon for Clatsop County. 1 To the Hon. Thos. A. McBride, Judge of the above named court: We, the undersigned grand Jury for the February, 1893, term of said court, make the following as our final re port, and respectfully represent: ' That we have carefully investigated all charges of violation of law that have been presented to us, and have disposed of the same in such manner as seemed to us Justified by the evi dence.. We have learned that although the tax levies for the last three years have averaged over 20 mills, yet the indebtedness of the county has been increasing at the rate of about $1900 per year. We have also ascertained that former grand Juries have recom mended that the county court have the books and accounts of the various county offices experted, but that the county court has failed to have the same done and believing that the tax payers of the county should know how the money collected has been expend ed, and. that the books and accounts of the county officers should be experted we have employed H. B. Ferguson to expert the books of the sheriff, clerk, treasurer and county school, superin tendent, he to begin with the books and accounts of said officers dated July 1st, and to continue the examination of said -books and accounts to January 1st, 1893 and have contracted with htm to make a thorough examination of said books and accounts, to make an ex hibit thereof for publication and to re port to your honor at the next term of this court. We therefore ask that you ratify said appointment and direct that he make a satisfactory report Of the in debtedness of the county and condi tion of the books and accounts of said officers to you at .the June, 1893, term of this court. ' - I We have carefully examined the re ports of road supervisors of this county for the year 1892, and find many of tory, tbey not itemizing the expendit ure of public money. Since the county court has adopted the method of col lecting the road taxes fh money each road supervisor has become a disburs ing officer. We recommend that the county court prescribe a uniform blank report and furnjsh each supervisor with one. That each supervisor be' re quired to file with the county clerk a verified report giving an Itemized state ment of all receipts and expenditures of public money and with said report that receipts for all money expended be filed, and that said reports and re ceipts be kept on file in the county clerk's office. ' 1 We visited St. Mary's hospital, which is the county hospital, and found it well managed, neat, clean,and comfort able. The patients are well cared for and in every way " the hospital Is worthy of commendation. We have visited the county and city Jails, and considering the condition of the same, they are well kept and man aged. The county Jail and courthouse, which were constructed thirty or forty years ago, have for a number of years been condemned by grand Juries. The floor In tl.e county Jail is rotten so prisoners can escape without difficulty, and as there Is no immediate prospect of the county getting a new jail, we recommend that the county court pro ceed without further delay to put a new floor in the- Jail and repair the same so it will hold prisoners. In our opinion this can be done by removing the old floor, cementing cobble stones for a distance of six feet from the walls, and then putting in new string ers and two inch flooring well spiked. Sewer -connection 'with 'the -county Jail has been properly - made, but - the cess pool at the rear of the Jail still re mains as a disease-breeding nuisance, endangering not only the health -oi prisoners, but .of. all persons residing within the vicinity -of the Jail, and the sewer connection at the courthouse Is imperfect. " ' ''' ' ; We therefore recommend that the county court cause the cesspool at the Jail to be filled up and proper sewer connections .with the courthouse, to be made at once. .. '.. In the city Jail the cells are dark, poorly ventilated, ahd the 'sewerage" is bad. They : are . In.' their,' present con dition unfit for use.,..'-,. '.,'... These defects ' can be remedied by cutting out a portion of the top of each cell and covering the same with Iron bars and putting, in closets connected with the water works, And now. having completed our la bors we ask to be discharged.

In the circuit court at Salem on Fri day, a decision was rendered by Judge Burnett in the suit brought by John Q. Wilson and other property owners on Chemeketa street, against the city of Salem and H. P. Minlo, as city mar shal, to enjoin the marshal from sell ing their property to, pay for the" re- cent street improvement The cause came on for hearing on the plaintiffs' demurrer to defendants' answer, and the court, after taking the matter un der advisement, sustained, the demur rer and gave Judgment for a perpet ual Injunction against the city. The attorneys" for the city asked for - and were granted twenty days in which to prepare papers for an appeal to the supreme court, if they desired to do so. The demurrer Which was sustained yesterday was that the answer did not slate facts sufficient to constitute a defense in other words that no. no tice was ever .given to the property owners, as required by law, for the taxation of their property for the im provement of the street. By this de cision the marshal is enjoined from selling the property. . The city could not sell thrjlr property for purposes of Street improvement without due pro cess of law. The South Commercial street case stands over by stipulation of the parties until final disposition Is made of the Chemeketa street case.
