. The grand jury before being dis
charged Friday evening, made the fol
lowing report:
Report.
"To His Honor,
James L. Webb, judge of Superior
court for April term, 1913.
"We, the grand jurors in and for
the county of Mecklenburg. April term,
1913, desire to submit the following
report: We have acted on all bills
Jianded to us by the solicitor and find
31 true bills and one not true bill. We
have made presentments of all viola
tions coming within our knowledge.
We have made a thorough inspection
of the court house, and find the ex
terior damaging for want of paint,
and we recommend that all metal and
woodwork be overhauled and painted
at once, also the roof be inspected and
necessary repairs and painting done.
"We visited the jail in a body, and
found 29 prisoners, three white and
6 colored. We did not find any com
plaint on the part of the prisoners of
! harsh treatment.
"We Tisited the department stores
'by a committee, and found that sev
eral of our larger stores have not
"complied with the laws in providing
'seats for the lady employes, but will
.'do so at once. We discussed the jail
proposition with Chairman Long, and
.he assured us that before we would be
, in session again, that the plans of the
' new jail would be well under way. We
"wish to recommend that in the consid
; eration of the new jail on the lot
where the jail now stands, that the
county commissioners consider the ad
visability of erecting a criminal court
room so that the prisoners would not
have to be on public exhibition when
brought to court.
"We recommend that the county
j commissioners devise some plan for
inspection of the public highways
