generally understood that the grand jurors would make their report and wind up their labors for the term on Monday evening This however how-ever they failed to do and the expectation ex-pectation that

LAKE CITY September 25 1888 To the Hon Elliot Sandford Judge Third District Court Territory of Utah The Grand Jury for this term of your court respectfully report that we Lave been in session twelve days have examined ex-amined 808 witnesses and investigated thirty cases for alleged violation of the United States laws finding eighteen indictments and dismissing seven cases and continuing five have investigated in-vestigated thirtytwo Territorial cases finding twentytwo indictments and dismissing nine cases and continuing oneAs charged by you we have investigated in-vestigated the sanitary condition of the city as fully as the limited time we have been in session and our other duties would permit and have found bills against parties owning property upon which nuisances that were brought to our attention exst There seems however to be a degree of responsibility re-sponsibility resting with the city officials but the evidence before this grand jury was not sufficient to so locate that responsibility as to warrant indictments But unless the city should be materially cleaned up and its sanitary sani-tary Condition greatly improved before the next term of yoar court we respectfully I respect-fully recommend that tbe next grand jury be instructed to take hold of the I matter earlier in their term so as to have time to thoroughly investigate ft and locate the responsibility where it belongs From what has come before Ue it is evident that much sickness often fatal has already resulted from the neglect of property owners to comply com-ply with and city officials to enforce the laws and ordinances against faith 2nd nuisance Tit PENITENTIARY We have visited the Penitentiary I and have found that institution in good condition We are glad to commend the vigilance and attention at-tention to duty of those having this institution iu charge The health and comfort of the prisoners has been greatly improved by the new building recently erected there But there are still serious needs that should be met at the earliest possible moment The first necessity J 2e ills to be the erection of 6 Separate building fer the confinement of female prisoners who at present have no suitable accommodations accommoda-tions whatever and are kept in a room outside the wails Second There Is great need of new offices and quarters for warden and guards the building they now occupy being unsafe and totally unfit for human habitation Third The adobe walls which are apparent ly just ready to tumble down ought to be replaced by good rook walls inclosing much greater area for prison yard FourthThere should be tome suitable room provided for hospital purposes where the sick could have proper treatment and nursing Thh is specially spec-ially needed for cases of contagious diseases dis-eases which are liable to occcr at anytime any-time and without such room would spread among the other inmates COUNTY JAIL We have visited the new Couay Jail and found that institution everything that could be desired THE CITY JAIL The City Jail we found well kept but the accommodations are scant and there is need of more room and improved im-proved quarters for city prisoners Respectfully
