REPORT GRAND JURY
AT VALDEZ SESSION
SEPTEMBEH TERM
RECOMMENDS COMMUNICATION
BE DIRECTED WASHINGTON,
CUTTING CABLE
To Hon. E. Coke Hill, Judge of
the .District Court for the Territory
of Alaska, Third Division:
We, the Grand Jury for the Sep
tember 7th, 1927 term of the above
entitled Court, held at Valdez, Terri
tory and Division aforesaid, have fin
ished our work and beg leave to sub
mit this, our Final Report.
We have examined 43 witnesses
and have returned 12 True Bills and
three Not True Bills, and have made
one original investigation.
We have examined the offices of
the Clerk of the District Court, the
United States Attorney and the Uni
ted States Marshal, together with
the Federal Jail and find the busi
ness of these offices conducted in a
thorough and businesslike manner.
We have visited and examined the
office of the United States Commis
sioner at Valdez and we find-the of
fice in excellent shape and the busi
ness therein conducted in a proper
ar.d judicial manner.
We have also visited tv<? Public
Schools of Valdez and find the rooms
all well heated, ventilated, and plen.
ty of exits in case of fire; we found
the school well organized and operat
ing efficiently and we commend it.
We recommend that the compen
sation of the United States Commis
sioners be fixed upon a salary basis
for the reason that under the pre
sent fee system, the Commissioners
in the outlying precincts receive
wholly inadequate compensation, ana
due to this fact it is very difficult io
secure men of ability and learning
to fill these important positions.
It has been brought to our notice
that the salaries paid to the deputy
marshals to the westward is far be
%
low the wages paid to the common
est labor in Alaska. In .some casee
as low as $125.00 per month. We
recommend that the salaries of de
puty marshals be increased to a lin
ing wage.
We recommend that the next ’e^.s
lature of the Territory of Vaska
pass a law making it a felony for
parents to contribute to the moral
delinquincy of their own children.
We further recommend that a com
munication be directed to the War
Department at Washington, D. C.

government cable which has served
Valdez, and surrounding community
for so many years in the past. The
