To His Honor Judge Dickson;
Your (Grand Jury, in making their

take the opportunity of compli
mootin you, Site upon your elevation

position,
10 our visit through the County
buildings, Court House, regisl 'y office
and jail, we were pleased with the
state of older and cleanliness which
was applicable to each institution. We
were pleased to only find one prisoner
in confinement, hoein there b h re for no
g
fault,of his own, he expressed himself
es having no complaints as to his treat

We were a'so pleascd to learn that
the County Council at their recent see
sion had continued their grant of
$30 0month n the'
OU U per nt i for C atuotic

Fund Association for the benefit of
the wtvet and mothers of those who
are fighting one cause In this terrible
struggle. aim that they have provided
mean. whereby our County regiment,
the 1131.t, e111 he second to none in
equipment and comfort.
Iu the matter of recruiting we feel
very strongly that the present system
is to slow Inw and expensive and think
that it is the duty of the government
to enact some form of national regis
ra iotor r er' do
t t z orfs t i n whereby
p e the
y
younger m o i in
y en i fi r, si
a p t n to go would
be called upon first to fill the existing
requirements at this most critical
time,
After reading the recent and satis
fectory reporteit the Rouse of Refuge
committee, we deemed it unnecessary
to incur any expenseat the present
time, in making en inspection of that'
instant ion.
If there is nothing further to detain

from Wither duties.
