People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1897 — Grand Jury Report. [ARTICLE]

Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury has finished its work, and returned twelve indictments and the following report: We would most respectfully report to the court that on Friday afternoon, January Bth, 1897 we visited and inspected the Alms house of said county; we found everything in good shape and the inmates of said house well clothed, fed, and properly bedded and reasonably comfort able, and we approve all we found at the Alms house and we know of no adverse report to make or' to censure anyone. We also visited the county jail which we found reasonable safe for the confinement of prisoners; except the water closet seemed to have some stench and the ventilation of jail proper was very poor and would recommend that the commissioners be directed to remedy the same. All of which is respectfully submitted for the court’s consideration.
