We do find, however, that the mu nicipal ollkers of some of the incorpora ted towns in Columbia county are en tirely too lax in the enforcement of the local police regulations for the govern ment of saloons, and for the suppres ion of vice, which conduct, on the part of said officers, compells the grand jury to Investigate charges which ought to be tried in tho local municipal courts uuder city ordinances. While we- are advised that the tuid officers of said towns are name to uia'ctment lor a failure to proiwrly enforce such . laws we have decided to vrive them the bene fit of the doubt as to their intent, which exists in our minds at the present t!mer and let this be a warning to them to maintain discipline in local affairs. . We recommeud to tl.etn that, the licenses of all saloons which persist in the violation of the laws, be revoked. We heartily recommend the county judge and commissioners in their efforts to collect a crcdituhle exhibit of the products and resources of Columbia county for tho Lowis and Clark Ex position, and our investigation of .the work already done, and that contem-1 plated by the said county rourt and the superintendent in charge of the Colum bia County Exhibit, convinces us that the appropriation made by the county for such pnrpoEe. nas been economical ly expended, and that a splendid ex hibit is being prepared,, all of which will be of inestimable benefit and a great credit to our county. Wt have made such investigation of county affairs as our limited t'me will p 'rnv.t, and find that the books and ac counts of the various county efficera have not been exported for j ears. This we deem an injustice to the officers of the county and we therefore recommend the county court that experts be em ployed to make an examination ot the o c vvvy)R il W Oil3 GLEAN GOOPS oCjoOl-. books and account of the treasurer. clerk, sheriff, past and present, aud such other officer and for such period as the county court shall determine, and that hereafter said books te experted at least once a j-ear. We believe a rea sonable expenditure of money' for such purpose a good investment. We are glad to note that our county, among a very few in Oregon, is on a csh basis and in a very prosperous condition, and in order that such con dition may continue, we advise the strictest inquiry Into all bills and ac ounts presented to the county, recom mending that the county court allow no bill, and approve no report which is not carefully itemized in every particular. This suggestion applies to the county officers as well aa all employes. Wo have examined . the court hou and jail and 'comment on them is on necessary.' ; ' ( ' Having completed our labors, we beg to be discharged. Dated May 12, 1005. , ; ; . G. M. tSraham, foreman.
