Grand Jury Report,
To the Hon. Gideon D. Bantz, Asso
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the Territory of New Mexico, and Pre
siding Judge of Third Judicial District
Court thereof.
Sin : In conformity with the instruc
tions of this court, the giand jury for
the present term respectfully submit
their final report, as follows:
We have taken action in the case of
every prisoner confined in the county
jail and have found indictments in all
cases where in our judgment, the evi
dence warranted the same; where the
facts submitted did not warrant such
action, we have refused to indict.
There were various complaints made
to us which we carefully considered,
under the instructions of the court. A
majority of the cases were of a trivial
nature and these were promptly dis
posed of. Others of merit have been re
turned to this court in the form ot in
dictments.
The committee appointed by this body
to examino into the affairs of the two
hospitals in Silver City report both to
be excellently managed and in good con
(1 i tii ni and all charity patients receiving
the bestof care and attention, ihere is
an insane woman receiving treatment at
the bister s hospital who lias been in
that institution over two years. It is an
imposition on these good Sisters that
they should be compelled to devote the
time and trouble to this , patient, when
. she properly belongs in the asylum at
Las Vegas, where special attention can
lie given such cases. The patient is as
helpless as a child and really requires
closer treatment. There is also an in
sane man in the county jail. AVe would
respectfully suggest that both these un
fortunates lie sent to the Las Vegas asy
lum and thcirexpeiiM's paid by the coun
ty, which arrangement would be much
less expensive than at present and much
more humane.
The committee appointed to examine
the jail found the same to lie neat anil
clean and proper regard for sanitary ar
rangements. There was no coinplaiiit
from any of the prisoners.
The committee appointed to examine
the ollices of the sheriff, treasurer,
clerk, collector, and asi-eor have per
formed their respective duties and then-
reports ore attached hereto.
The grand jury would recommend that
stringent measures be adopted by the
proper olHcers to compel the collection
of the balance remaining unpaid on the
Berg &. AYhitehill judgments, obtain-'d at
previous terms of this court. AVe are
Informed that only a portion of these
judgments have been paid by the Berg
bondsmen and that nothing has been re
ceived on the AVhitehill matter. The
money is needed badly for the main-t-aliiance-of
the.conntiyand we deem it
only just that all and not a few should
be brought under the enforcement of the
executions issued in these causes.
Having completed all the work before
t, the Grand Jury respectfully asks to
be discharged without delay.

Grand Jurv.
Sin: AVe your conimitiee duly ap
pointed to visit and investigate the
affairs of the odice of assessor and tax
collector, beg leave to submit the follow-
ng report:
We visited and inquired into the
affairs of the office of assessor and find
that the tax rolls have been completed
and turned over to the board of county
commissioners. We further find that
the assessor has made township plats of
all the lands in the county, thereby
causimr all lands to be assessed, this
item in itself has caused quite an addi
tion to the tax rolls. The assessment
has been made up by townships thereby
aiding the collector in locating the prop
erty assessed.
AVe have visited and examined into
the affairs of the office of the tax col
lector. AVe find that the books of the
otlice are kept in a systematic manner,
a record being kept of each and every
tax paid, and receipts were exhibited
for all taxes collected up to Nov. 1st 1895.
The collector exhibited proper re
eipts from the county treasurer for all
amounts paid to him.
