ffairs of the county, and we believe that all persons who feel aggrieved that their present- ments were not received, will now be content when they realize the importance of such in- vestigation necessitating the postponement of their complaints until the grand jury shall meet. On the first day a committee of three on county records and officers was appointed, and they have faithfully labored in their investiga- tions until the present time, during such hours as could be spared from the grand jury room. Afterwards the whole jury were divided into committees to work in the various offices of the county at all times excepting one session each day in the jury room. These committees report- ed as follows: To the foreman of the grand jury: Your committee appointed to examine the records and accounts of the assessor’s and treas- urer’s offices, submit the following: In the assessor’s office we were unable to find any record of the transactions of the offices, with the exception of the assessment rolls and returns. The accounts of the licenses issued and the fees and commissions of the office, we could not ascertain anything about. Mr. E. Stine, deputy assessor, who was absent, and Mr. Harry Classen, the assessor, could not give us any information about the affairs of his office.
