Grand Jury Censures Court House Delay Report
The committee on public buildings censures Lyon County for delaying court house construction. The Dayton court house fire left records insecure and rent high. The jail at Verington needs front door security and more improvements. Wells Valley jail is fair but not ideal. The jury urges the County Commissioners and District Attorney to proceed promptly with secure building plans. A Mexican burglar indictment and a murder case were noted. The panel questions tax and sale schemes and warns of wasted insurance funds.
