Orange. Texas, February 24, 1K33,
To the Honorable F. P. Adams, Judge
of the District Court, Orange
County, Texas.
We, the grand Jury, empaneled at
the January term, 1!>3S, of the dis-
trict court of Orange county, Texas,
submit... the following report:
We have I"en in session for four-
teen days; We have Investigated for-
ty-five cases aud have examined 1K.1
witnesses, and have found 2ii true
bill*.
^AWc have examuled all matters com-
ing So our attention both through reg-
ular channels, as well as from our
own investigations mid otherwise.
We have made/ an Inspection of
both the court house aud jail, tiud
have found thfct both are kept in as
good condition as present financial
conditions of tbu county Will war-
rant.
We have investigated a number,.-
fires that have occurred lu Orange,
and are convinced that a number of
them ure of incendlaix/orlglu, bul
we have not been abei to secure sut-
ficlcnt evidence to jusitfj* true bills;
and we leeoinnrt'nd that the next
-giiand jury take up this matter
whcriv.,we tcfl off, calling some mem-
ber-. of tiu*!, grand jury to advise
them'of the iiffttcfnatlun we have so-
ttflfcd. ^
We have gone Into tint., manage-
ment of some of the dcpartnie^ts of
Orange county,- and while the limited,
lime did not permit us to^tfo Into all
of the departments of. the county,
those we have Investigated we re-
port as follows:
In the handling of the affairs of
the coin tli Iks loners' court wo find
woeful Ignorance as to the laws gov-
erning that body. We find that thg
minutes of the court i'rotu January
court do not show the authority for
the payment of a great number of
the hills .paid by the county. It Is
suggested thitt before-iVw.v bill is paid
out of the county rnnds, that tbu
authority for Its passage br cli-
dorSed by at least a quorum of the
eoinmlsi ioue-ra' court In order that
tht' "same may be a permanent i,ec-
ord. Further, little additional space
upon the minutes would be required
for the clerk to list these bills, nam-
ing the payee and tho amount ot the
bill
1
We have examined the annual re-
ports of the "*ounty officers for the
year l'J81. We have found that
these reports coutalu various items
of t-xpense which appear never to
have been presented and passed t>pou
by the commissioners' court, « te-
quired by law. In this cOnnecton,
wo suggest that these accounts lie
examined, either approved or reject-
ed, and that iu t|ie future all such
bills be presented, properlj* Unm-
ixed and sworn to, monthly as the
law directs in such cases. Iu* case
any portions ot the accounts arc, r«-x
jeetcd, we suggest that the official
rjrttnbursc the county for such items.
We have found thut the Work of
the offices of the county judge and
county attorney to be properly* and ef-
ficiently operated require the ser-
vices of a stenographer; aud while
the county judge maintains a steno-
grapher at a salary of J too per
mouth and the county attorney has
none, it is -respectfully suggested that
without expending any additional
un> of money, two positions could I have not had an opportunity to fully

of the bonds belonging to the tari-
ous bond sinking funds, said audit to
cover any periixi uot burred by the
stuuto of limltatiob affi'ctlng any

Since the grand jury ha|! been it-
session, the conithisaioneta' court has
seen fit to substantiully reduce the
expenses of the county. We suggest
thut there are still place* in the
county where ndditlouul savings can
lnv nnide. However,, wo commend the
court for the above mentioned re-
ductions. and recommend that money
be expended only in direst need, and
that f«e officials in their hiring of
deputies be required to build up an
extraordinary case before the com-
missioners' court grants its approval.
We have discovered that a number
of ^people employed at til® court
house, both officials and full tlUie
deputies, luivo been doing various
extra work at the court house, and
have becu paid large sums of money
therefor. We recommend that In
this time of unemployment that this
extra Work be given to other Worthy

employed- V.;.

Ilevo to be undisputed evidence of
