We also would like to express to one of the members of the Grand Jssy who served as Clerk, that is W. W. Hmmphries. He writes an Intelligent hand and you can read it. Oa behalf of the Grand Jurors, I would like to say that we have made an inspection of this Cast House and I voice the opinion of each member of the Grand Jury, ehen I say that we should commas at once, and recommend that steps be iasediatsy Initiated to replace this structure with a modern covert hones. We think it Is best, as a matter of fact, it Is a disgrace to the County, as pod a county as cur County is, to have this structure. We consider it dangerous and we consider also that the County is fully able to build a new and modern court house structure that will be of benefit to the county, and we urge the County Commissioners Court to initiate and get plans for a new plant in the neighborhood of the present building. We appreciate the Court's cooperation given us while serving in this term. this makes the and of our work. We have had four sessions Including today's work and while we have not done all possible, we have done our beat and respectfully ask the court to discharge and adjourn this Grand Jury. W. W. Humphries, ![embers I an not In favor of spending any more money an this old Court House. I think it is unwise to spend any sore money. Apparently what away that we spent recently has not done much good, it is just throwing the money away. A, e e H. L. Whitley, Sr., members I think we should build a fire under the Commissioners Court and get busy and get this structure out of the way and a modern building up at the earliest possible date, tomorrow allbt be too late. This may fall down. M GRAND JURI OF MAZOS OGURTY, APRM TE@!, 1952 BY: E. M. Westbrook, FORFIIAR JUDGB BARRM t. N. Westbrook, Foramen of the Grand Jury requested that Judge A. S. Ware be present.
