Yesferday and Members of
Jury Leave for Their
Homes
SOME THING8 NOT IN REPORT
The final report of the grand jury
was filed with the county clerk yes
terday and the jury dispersed.
The Herald secured a copy of
thla report this afternoon but too
iate to publish in full in this issue.
The report embraces recommend
ations in regard to the hotels of Al
liance, some of the hotels being
commended and some criticised.
The city dumping grounds come in
for criticism and rr-commendations.
The Central School building, it is
pointed cut. Is not safe on account
of lack of fire escapes.
The same a regard to St. Agne
Academy.
The Box Butte county court house
takes a larger part of the report
than any other cne Item, and prob
ably deservi.i It because of its lack
of room and pro.ier facilities for the
transaction of county business. Fig
ures are given showing that a suit
able building could l - erected with
out being burdensf m to the tax
payer of the county, and in closing,
the grand jurors say: "We believe
hat it is high time some action
should be taken, and recommend the
oting of bonds for the cons) ruct io-i
of a new court house."
A good many things that it IMM
been rumored the grand jury was in
vestigating were not mentioned iu
the report.
