The public buildings at Danvils wer,
built abou, thirty years ago. BY .hi,
line they have necessarily become age
worn and dllapida.ed, and new building,
somewhere; will have TO be erected Within
few years for public use. So lon. ago
IS 1887 serious attempt was made 10 pro
cure new i'e-proof tuildings a, Danv.lle:
10 be. paid for by taxation upon The peopI,
# the county. The proposition was sub
'nited TO the Grand Jury, pursuant to the
OH section Of the act of Assembly of l5;h
april 1884. relating to counties and town
ships, which requires, among other things;
The appreciation of two successive Grand
Juries, TO authorize the county Commits
'ioncrs to put IL, new buildings. One gtanc|

We erected, ,and public attention beng aroused
to the matter, no Grand Jury since has
been willing 10 conseHl 10 tax the peopl

these proceedings prove, .ha, as far back
as 1887, there was general impression
that new buildings were necessary, and the

cause Of the place where there they were
proposed to be situate. The proposition
has stood, as il we're, in abeysnce from
tha, time TO this, awaiting the Determination
of the REMOVAL QUEsTIoN. If the Votes
