We, the Grand Jurors, em¬ paneled and sworn for this the April Term, 1965, herewith make the following Presentments to the Court: We recommend that a fence be erected around the jail windows to prevent visitors from coming into contact with prisoners through the windows and as a safety precau¬ tion. We recommend that the County Commissioners seriously consider selling the old Jail and Depot property using the proceeds from said sale to purchase the property adjacent to the Courthouse where the gas station and Mt. Yonah Cafe is located. We believe this will add to the beauty of the pre¬ sent Courthouse grounds and eli¬ minate the parking problem that might exist. In the sale of the Depot property, we recommend that it be stipulated that the pre¬ sent building on said property be removed. We recommend that the present practice of burning trash and garbage at the corner of the Court¬ house grounds be immediately dis¬ continued. In the event this prac¬ tice is not stopped, then we urge the proper authorities to take necessary steps to require the dis¬ continuance of this eyesore and nuisance. We recommend that the mattres¬ ses and other bed clothing in the old Jail be immediately removed from the building and burned. We recommend that the equip¬ ment remaining in the old Court¬ house if it is not to be used in the new Courthouse that it be cleaned and stored to be sold at the proper time. We recommend that all old auto¬ mobile parts now at the old Jail be stored within the building or that they be removed to the county shop area and be stored in an orderly fashion, We recommend that the Grand Jury Room be permanently equipped with furnishings in keep¬ ing with other offices in the Court¬ house, | As recommended by the October Grand Jury, this Body recommends that the old Courthouse be re¬ moved. We recommend that the officers of the Game and Fish Department and all other law enforcement agencies rigidly enforce the law We recommend that all law en prohibiting hunting on Sunday, forcement agencies rigidly check and inspect any and all private clubs that may now or at any time exist in our county. We re¬ commend that all clubs or other parties violating the gambling and liquor laws in our county be appre¬ hended and vigorously prosecu ted. Numerous cases have been brought to the attention of this Grand Jury which arose at the home of Shirley Barton. We recom¬ mend that all law enforcement agencies keep a constant vigilance and lookout on the home of Shirley Barton and that all parties violat¬ ing the laws of this state on said premises be arrested and vigorous- For Cleveland Begun .
