GOANO JURY PRESENTMENTS r To the Honorable Malcolm D. , Jones and the Honorable A. M. . Anderson, Judges, Houston Su -3 perior Court. 1 We, the Grand Jury, sworn -for the April Term, 1942, of 3 Houston Superior Court, hereby . make the following report of our ? deliberations. f We have considered forty-four ) (44) bills of indictment and have 2 returned thirty-five (35) True 1 Bills and nine (9) No Bills. i Our committee, the Jail and 1 Court House, finds the Jail clean - and efficiently kept. They find the mantel in the Ordinary’s Of t fice and the floor in the Sheriff’s Office badly in need of immed s iate repair and we recommend 1 that these repairs be made with f out delay. Our committee for inspection / of the public works camp finds - the grounds and buildings in e good condition and reports the - following property located there - on: One Motor Grader, One Gas 1 Shovel, three Caterpillar Trac - tors, three Road Machines., one Automobile, one Concrete Mixer, - three Concrete Pipe Forms, one - Bucyrus 10 Yard Pan, twenty - two (22) Convicts, 7 Hogs, and 2 Milk Cows. The Grand Jury as a body vis ited the Army Air Depot at Wellston upon the personal invi " tation of Chief Bullard and we wish to commend the officials and 2 law enforcement officers for their ’ efficiency in the manner that 1 that they have handled a situa -3 tion that could be very difficult considering the vast number of • people employed on the project ' and the number of quick business 1 places that have been establish -3 ed.

In order to meet the emergen cy the Navy Relief Society has launched a nation-wide drive for $5,000,000.
