On the Oath dav of January, 1860. your
Committee made a contract with said Jor.es
for the purpose of erecting said building.

plans and specifications adopted by the
former Board of County Supervisors, is
herewith submitted. Fae contract on the
part Of Benjamin Jones has been fai. Lfully
carried out, the buidinQis fully completed,
and your Committee have reason to be-
lieTe that it will meet with the satisfaction
Of your honorable body. The place upon
which we deemed it proper to locate the
building had been filled up at recent
date, and in order to obtain a good, solid
foundation, it became necessary TO make
a charge 10 the foundation, as originally
prcTcsed Such has been done, and the
foundation now is neatly s feet deep, and
4 feet thick at the bottom and 30 inches
at the top. Fol this work an additional
compensation is due to Mr.. Jones.
Your Committee have also been under
the necessity of ordering one more chin
new than was first proposed.
Tie rafiers Of the building have been
covered with tin, and for this work, 20
pether with the shelves which We directed
to be made for tie vaults to the several
Offices, an additional compensation should
likewise be adjudged to Mr.. Jones. The
Committee did not deem it in their scope
to agree with Mr.. Jones upon the amount
due him for such extra labor, and they
therefore submit his account 30 the con
sheraton Of YOUR honorable body.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
