building is heated with hot air from fGr-
naces, and the several rooms are well
supplied with cold air ven.ilating t;ucs.
Il is evident that much care has teen ia
ken to guard against the danger Of fire.
No wood work is in close proximity to the
hot air Aues, thus avoiding all danger Of
fire from within, and the roof being FIRE
proof, there can be but little danger Of it
from without.
In accepting Of the building, they feel
that it is a structure Of which the people
Of the county may be justly proud. Iu

to the proper furnishing Of the building,
and to the grading and enclosing OF the

missioners the purchase Of such furniture
as viii be in keeping with TIE house; and
that the 10. be graded aud enclosed with .
an iron or other substantial fence. Tue /
