CoCRT ilOusE lMrROvEMENT.-Ih people
of Davenport are discussing the necessity of
erecting Il new court house at an expense Of
from $50, 900 to $4,000. The same subject
has been talked Of, more or less, for several
years, in this county But we think, with
few necessary Improvements, our courthouse
might be made to last twenty years longer
1t is not known to every one we presume,
that the county owns about six feet Of ground
on the south side OF Court Square, more than
the fence euclo>es. If the fence and side.
walk were moved out to the line, and porch
built, over the south door, of the same style,
though not quite as heavy, as the one over the
north door, it would add much to the appear
ancc of the house. and to the comfort Of those
who are obliged to 60 there or business.
The moving Of the fence would also be Il
great Improvement to the Jail, and enable
persons to pass from the Jail to the court
house without going outside the fence. 1t
would also save to the county, the six feet Of
ground, which, some day, will be u matter Of
great importance,
Let this be done, and then extend the court
room to the north front, making an entrance
At each corner, build gallery that would
accommodate about hundred or !. hundred
and fifty spectators, and new seat the house,
aud we should not need a new court house for
twenty years.
We respectfully suggest to our board of
supervisors whether it would not be better to
save this ground and make these improve
ments, than to leave the house IN its present
condition ard run the risk Of camors for a
more spacious building,
