GRAND JURY REPORT.
Thihodaux La., April 8th 1892.
To the Honorable Judge 20th Judicial
Court.
In behalt of the Grand Jury selected for
this criminal tprin of Court the undersigned
Foreman appointed by your liouer, desires to
make the following final report.
In accordance with instructions received
Iron; you we examined the Parish Prison,
which we are pleased to report appeared in as
good a condition as can be desirod.
Better vent illation however for the lower
cells would not at all be discordant witu
humane and healthful demands, but as the
building has served in its present condition
lor a great number of years it may be con
sidered an nimeecessary innovation for us to
recommend I'm placing of several ventilators
in the jail lor the benefit of the piisoners iu
toe lower cells.
'The Police Jury would not do wrong in
giving this matter in consideration.
1 he prisoner now in custody four in unm
bet expressed themselves peile-tly well
s < tidied with ihe care and attention aecoded
ti cm by the officials
A visit to the Recorder's Office disclosed
lo your jury men that the records aud papers
of the Parish slid other fixtures therein
contained are in proper order and condition
with the exception of about a dozen volumes
of the records ot this Parish of the beginning
of tliis century', one of the dates in the nets
going back as far as 1899. The hooks are
mutilated. We were informed that the
other grand juries had recommended that
the.-e nooks be bound, but so tat nothing has
been done, hence we deem it our duty to re
commend and urge upon the Police Jury of
the Parish ot Lafourche that these volumes
ot our public tecords i-e bound and otherw ise
made secure. Several of the books cannot
easily be bound as their edges are worn and
shattered in a in inner that renders them
practically impossible - As a means of pre
servation we rc'-minuend that the Police
Jury have the records that are in (his condi
tion recopied into sale and sound books.
In the Clci k.L Office which we examined
uevt. we found its contents in propel' shape
and order.
Our attention was next given to the
Parish Treasurer's books and accounts. A
revicwal o that officer's books, the accounts
and entries iu which that gentleman, with
much lourtesy and consideration, fully ex
plained. ili.-ciosc that there is now in the
Parish Treasury a grand total of $11,419 91
of which account $6414.91 belong to the
general luml and #7925 19 are due tlie drain
age fund of the nine drainage districts ot the
Parish.
Vonr jurors find it very strange that there
is mi much money in the Parish Treasury lor
drainage and that there is so little done in
this respect. The 'Treasurer complained of
this faett and suggested that something be
done to put the money into practical use.
The nccts- tv f.r some such action more
strongly emphasizes itself when it is taken
into consideration that the public roads arc in
a very d'sorodiiable condition and the
travelling public .nr much inoonvenieticcd
thereby. T.-v Police Jury in our opinion,
should force the road inspectors who ale un
der their ilm-ct supervision to keep tlie
roads in a pi. mu" condition, especially since
there are ample funds on hand for that pur
pose. The Police Jury should either do this
or revise the v, hole road and levee inspection
system of the Pu-ish.
It strikes us that some plan, better than
paying rmm ins; colors, a regular salary and
lilting had ; o a ■'* could easily be hit upon.
We recommend that the Police Jury look in
to this matter.
As !.--r i- .t vfi-in m office to which your
As !.--r i- .t vfi-in m office to which your

cannot do aiivtlm
gc to us incident.illy called
will say that we were
ry definite steps, as we
in act upon. Without
!t from some source wc
g. In this connection we
would like lo .-ay that it would be wise lor
the public wlmii they have any st eh com
plaint or greivance to make a note ot it and
when tlm Grand Jury is empannelled to ap
p-.-.ir lo f.i.- that body and make statements
of the facts
The Grand Jivy is hound to listen to all
grt-iv Her imm-i- the ,.nblic. "ho are invested
with full right, should avail themselves of
th(> opportunity uttered to get redress it they
in- justified in iIn ir complaint.
Alter examining a number of witnesses iu
regard to cutting levees in the lower part ot
the Parish which it was alleged had been
(tone to the detriment of a number of persons
in that community, we fin-l that the evidence
is too vague and indirect to justify us in es
tablishing a ease. It seems that there are
■----w——n——
numerous cairn's cxistii
used for n-rigktim.''fiura>
been impo-aiii e for us t
definitely who had the canilts made. While
the law etenses no mm for iul'mcnmis. and
while w-( do not desire to go beyond the
bounds of the law wc think it would he a
hardship to punish an> one of these people
even if a case vv is found, for wc are informed
that the levee in that part of the Parish is
So low and detective that a fiords protection
hut a small portion of the year.
Upon examining various officers of flic
Parish as to why tliev did not make an arn-st
in the Blanchard Series we ascertained that
they did not do so lu range the Steamer As
sumption left the wliarl m the town ol Thiho
daux too quickly lor them to make an arrest.
Alter tlm affidavits were sworn out t.lic officials
tried to make the arrests tint could not find
the parties eh gaged with the crime.
Judging fro hi the complaints t hi f are made
concerning the negligence of the r.tail inspec
tor ot the 1st District of the Parish we think
it advisable for the Police Jury to urge said
inspector to be more attentive to nis duty.
His roads especially a peice iu front of the
Blanchard Place np the Bayou arc said to lie
in a very had condition
