LOCAL..

met yesterday afternoon in adjourned SeS-
sion u:
The Committee on Public Buildings
submitted the following report:
In the opinion of your committee, an ad-
dition to the Court House of two story
building for The West side, for the better
accommodation of the Register, and for
facilitating the transaction of county busi-
ness, is very much needed we therefore
recommend the construction of the same.
To that end we have directed that plans,
specifications and estimate of cost be made.
The ascertained cost will not exceed
s., 400.
It is further recommended that the
Committee on Public Buildings be author
lied and instructed to obtain bidders for
the building of same, awarding the con-
tract to the lowest responsible bidder.
Yohr committee further report that they
have examined the County Jail, for the
purpose of making such improvements as
will add to the comfort and security OF the
prisoners. They have ordered cook stove
and a new floor laid in the kitchen. Eff
forts are now making by the committee to
ascertain the best means of heating and
ventilating the cells and corridors of the
Jail, which present many difficulties, ow-
ing to the dilapidated condition OF the
whole building and the damp locality
The cost of annual repair upon the Jail
building, together with its insecurity, give
great reason to believe that new Jail will
be necessary before many years. Not less
than &c. 600 would suffice to make it Sc
cure and equal, in all respects, to the jails
of modern times. Without the expendi-
ture of such an amount, it cannot be dis
guised that the Jail is not adequate to the
requirements of the county. \ our commit
| tee recommend that the sash be put in the
| windows the gratings around the inside
of the windows SO arranged that access
may be had to the sash that the tower Oh
| top of the building be repaired that the
! water pipes and washing arrangements be
repaired, and that such other things as may
| appear absolutely necessary for the present
| comfort and security of the prisoners be
| done.
