Gantt, Judge of the 22d Judicial District: We, grand jurors tor of Bates, state of Mo., at the June term, 1886, respecttully submit the foliowing report of the proceedings the county for the said June term: We have used our best endeavors to investigate the moral standing ot our county and find the same to be in a very good condition, therefore i we have but few lictments to re- | port. We have made an examination ot ali the offices ot the county officials, and find them orderly and _ neatly kept, their books precise and neat, and everything in said offices con- veniently arranged. And, further report, we find the county officials very courteous and obliging and ever ready and willing to render assis- tance to thcse having business in their respective offices, We turther report, that we visited the county jail, which we found in charge of our worthy and_ efficient sheriff. Everything about the iail is ' clean, neat and in good order. There are three prisoners confined im said jail. They seemed well pleased with their treatment and speak in high terms of their keeper. We found a good and commodious work building, with plenty of stone on hand for the convicts to work. We thoroughly examined the jal building and unanimously agree that it is unsafe and unfit to confine any one in and would, therefore, recom- mend that steps be taken that a good and substantial jail be built, that would keep our prisoners safe with- out endangering their lives, either | from foul air or falling building.
