Gentlenen:-Th committee on riiblic
buildings instructed by you at the June
session ofthe board to find more practi.
cable place for foundation of the iall build:
ing than the one already tried, proceeds
Ell at once to tes the ground on the south
west Garner of the court house lot, 5y dig.
5ing four bitches, three of which Indicated
bat surface workings, while one showed
the ground to be someN hat crushed and
50 indicated deeper workings. Believing
this to be as favorable a place as could be
found on the lot, we staked out the ground;
and orderd the foundation to be there dug;
80, $50, only attained solid ground at a depth
a'inNaatctY feGpo2 to. .2l feet. thus incurIing
BEEN if "a sure foundation could have been
got at the depth needed, viz feet.
Your committee would further report, that
th met twice while the building Was n
progress for the purpose of inspecting the
work, once when the walls were about the
hight of first story, and once when about
up, and believe the work to be faithfully
done, agreeably to the contract
Upon the completion Of the "flre.proof
vaults" it was found that many of che old
bookcases were too large, and would have to
be cut UP and altered to be got in, besides
necesstatng several new ones, and two
new tables, one for the Probate office, and
one for the Sheriff's. This work we have
had done at a total cost of $242.63, item'
lied bills for the same on file with the
