GRAND JURY'S REPORT

     The following is the report of the Grand Jury:
     Doylestown, Pa. May 18, 1904
     Report of the Grand Jury for the May term of court, A.D. 1904
     To the Hon. Mahlon H. Stout, President Judge of the Quarter Sessions of the County of Bucks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
     We the Grand Jury, respectfully submit our report, viz:
     We have examined twenty three bills of indictment and have found twenty two of then true bills, and one of them not a true bill.
     We have visited the county jail and find it in a cleanly condition. We do recommend the boardwalk leading from the jail to the courthouse be repaired.
     We have also examined the court house and find it in its usual good condition, with the exception of the front steps which we would recommend to be repointed.
     Whereas, it has been brought to our notice that Sunday ball playing is becoming a nuisance in some parts of our county, we would recommend that authorities would take steps to prohibit the same, especially at Parkland Park, near Langhorne Station.
     We would further recommend that additional light be placed at the head of the stairs leading to the basement and also a handrail be placed on both sides of said stairs leading to the basement.
     We render our sincere thanks and hearty appreciation to the very able charge and valuable instructions given us by the court and to the District Attorney for his courteous attention while in discharge of our duties.
A. R. TRUMBOWER, Foreman.    

In regards to Sunday baseball Judge Stout said:
     "The court does not regard the playing of baseball, as practiced in this county, in such a serious light that there is any need for public investigation, as no names have been presented. The offense is not such as to call for an indictment. If it becomes a nuisance in a community, the people it annoys can see that prosecutions are brought."
The report was ordered filed.
