Albany, Tex,, Oct. 18, 1916.
To Hon. Thos. L. Blanton, Judge
of the 42nd Judicial District of
Texas:
We, your Grand Jury, at the
October, 191ft, term of the Dis-
trict Court of Shackelford coun-
ty, Texas, present to you the
following report:
We have been in session three
days, during which time we have
carefully investigated all viola-
tions of the law that have been
brought to our attention, and
during said time we have exam-
ined about 15 witnesses, and as
a result of our deliberations, we
have found three bills of indict-
ments, two of which were for
felonies and one of which was
for a misdemeanor.
We recommend that a finance
committee be appointed to audit
the accounts of the various offi-
cers of the county whose duty it
is to handle the finances of the
county.
We have examined the court
house anil jail and find both of
them well kept and in excellent
condition, except that there are
some pretty bad leaks in the
court house which ought to be
repaired right away, and we re-
commend to the Honorable Com-
missioners Court that immediatt
steps be taken to repair said
leaks wherever they are, to the
end that the property may be
better preserved and not be
damaged by rains.
We are glad to find that there
is very little violation of law in
our county.
We are sorry to report that the
County Attorney has not been
with us during our deliberations
at this term of court, and we are
informed from reliable sources
that he is not performing his
duties as County Attorney as he
should do and as the law con-
templates he shall do, and we
recommend that in future fie be
more diligent in the perform-
ance of his duties, otherwise
that he relinquish the office and
let the county have an opportun-
ity to secure the services of
someone who will be diligent in
performing the duties required
by law of a County Attorney.
We make this statement advis-
edly, after careful deliberation,
in behalf of the citizenship of
Shackelford county.
Our Sheriff has been very dili-
gent in performing the duties of
his office and we commend him
for it.
We wish to thank the District
Attorney for his faithful and
efficient services rendered us in
