In accordance with your request of the
18th instant, / have examined the various
| plans and specifications submitted to the
Board of Commissioners for a new Court

Out of the various plans on file, I only
saw three that / considered in any way
suitable for the purposes Of the county.
These were prepared and submitted by L.
