Tho Court Room ImprOvement.


The work Of improving the Courtroom is
nearing completion, and it will be the hand
soonest room in the State-except, probably,
sumo Of The churches The plan of the archi-
tcct has beeu observed by Mr.. Julius Holmes,
the contractor, in the minuiest particulars, and
his work proves him master builder, indeed.
The changes necessary to achieve success in
the acoustic properties Of the room have been
uuavoilably expensive, but the work has been
faithfully, elegantly, substantially done, aud
with a scanty living margin TO the contractor.
5000 feet Of the best quality Of lumber was
necessary &c the work The plastering and
stucco work is by Mr. c. Frank GallaheF-
Though be has done fne work here and in Bal
timore-some Of that on the Masonic Temple,
in the latter city-he may well regard the work
upon this CJart-r Jom his ckef-d GUgre The
fresc0ing Of the walls and ceiling, under the
supervision Of Mr. Holmes, by the brothers
Taylor aud Jno. o. johnson, is iue-we were
almost persuaded some pupils Of Brumidi had
been employed. The seats for spectators, the
arrangement for the accommodation Of the
Court, Clerks, Sheriff, Lawyers. Jurors, and
Witnesses admirable. Que ping. we think the
Cluuty CJuct omitted to provide. Night ses-
sious Of the Circuit Court are sometimes ne
ccsslry-good lights are indispensable. 1t Is
economy 10 aGjrd facilities for night sessions.
It may not have occurred to the Justices that
night sessions save the taxpayers thirty or for
~ dollar. rer session Therefore We respect
fully suggest handsome Chandelier pendant
from the beautiful centre piece as requisite to
the eguipmeut aud fuish Of the room. We
think rax-PAyer wrong IN his condemua-
zion Of the County Court for the appropriation
made fYr a curtain for the window in rear of
the judicial chair. \ less handsome one would
T be uusuited TO the surroundings, and no citiz q
ought t, begrJdse bis Z Of a cent ex-
pended 10 beautily the be- room in his house.
We hope every citizen Of the county will take
the trouble TO 60 aud see aud admire this splen-
+ d.d judicial ball in which all have az owner
ship.
I Mr.. HOLMES has added to his reputation as
a builder and can safely invite careful scruti-
uy Of this work, and point to it with justifA-
Die pride.
