that tbs doors to the cells be made Sc
cure. Your committee have ascertsined
that Che repairs as described above, can
be done for the appropriation recommen-
dcd above.
Your committee also fna the conrt
house needing some repairs. We 1nd
that there is an opening between the
partitions and the wall at the north end
of the building. Your committee are
inclined to believe the opening above
mentioned may have been caused by the
frost being allowed to enter the basement
story, In consequence of the windows
and doors being open. They also think
that it may be caused 10 some degree by
the water which runs from the roof being
allowed to remain so near the building
Your committee would recommend that
good substantial shutters be fitted to all
the windows In the basement story, hung
with hinges on one side of the window
and fastened on the inside, and that
there be lock procured for the door on
the east side of the basement, as it can
not be secured in its present situation.
Your committee would also recommend
that there be a subterranean conductor !
made of two inch white oak plank and
placed under ground, so as to conduct
the water from the spout at the north
end Of the building to the street in front
of the court house. Also, that the fues
to the chimueys be capped with heavy
sheet iron covered with pitch, and that
the furnace flue be closed
Your committee would recommend that
there be flight of stairs erected from
the basement story to the closet between
the county judges office and tue sheriff's
Office.
Your committee would further recon.
mend that there be the sum of Sl2O ap.
propriated out of any funds in the coun.
ty treasury, not otherwise appropriated.
to defray the expense of said repairs, and
that the clerk be directed to issue coun.
ty orders for the same
Your committee would also recommend
that there be little more vigilance ex.
ercised by those having charge of the
court house and grounds, in protecting
the same abuse and unnecessary noise.
Your committee would also recommend
that the clerk be directed to have the
court house insured in at least two insur-
ancc companies, for an amount not to ex-
coed S25, 1000 90, and that the clerk be-
directed to issue county warrants to de-
fray the expense of insuring the court
house in this county.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
