The Elko County Grand Jury submits its final report for March term. Fifteen cases reviewed include forgery theft and checks without funds among others. True bills found cover forgery checks grand larceny and Nevada stock handling without inspection. Some cases were ignored including robbery embezzlement and assault with a deadly weapon.
The Grand Jury notes most cases involve liquor sales and gambling and calls for tougher enforcement of liquor laws, tighter license control, and prohibitions restricting minors. It urges the County Commissioners to issue a bond for Elko High School and dormitories, while recommending stricter voter registration and signboard updates for crossroads. The foreman and secretary commend the jury's work and note the court may discharge them later.
