(p. 465)
To the Judge of the 9th Judicial District holding session in and for the County of Dallas.
The Grand Jury of Dallas County respectfully show onto your honor that they have had under consideration the subject of public buildings in connection of the subject of revenue of the county and are of the opinion that perhaps the want of suitable public buildings—so apparent to everyone is the result of embarrassments of the Treasury proceeding from causes not under the control of the county courts heretofore but which difficulty is being rapidly removed, and although perhaps no positive blame can be attached to previous officers of the county having control of this subject, yet under the present improved condition of the treasury, unless some proper action is taken in future the same excuse will not avail them and may call for a different action upon the part of the grand jury of the county. The jail of the county is both unsafe and unhealthy and humanity requires such repairs as would insure a free circulation of air and greater safety.
Yours respectively,
James Horton, foreman [of the Grand Jury.]
