COURT HOUSE ACCOUNT.
sa.328.1O

Heating the Court House, or more properly
the county portion of the City Building, is
done by the City of Portland, the county of
Cumberland paying its share of the cost, which
is estimated at four-tenths of the amount.
Repairs upon the building are to be made by
the city, upon notice and request of the County
Commissioners. In this connection it may be
proper to say, that in 1858 the County of Cum
berland leased the old Court House lot to the
City of Portland for term of nine hundred
and ninety-nine years, for yearly rent of one
dollar year."
The Office room of the register of deeds is no
more than sufficient for present necessity, and
in order to make the ledger index to that part
of the records not indexed, as required by law,
more room is absolutely necessary.

The entire number of single days labor OF
prisoners in the workshop during the year was
14,529 j.
The whele number of different men en-
ployed during the year was 459.
The average number at work during the
year was 81.
The amount of coal carried by the shop is
larger than usual, as it is designed Tor the use
of the jail as we'll as the workshop, An
amount considered sufficient for a years sup
that at the same price, the remaining quantity
is worth 500.
OTHER ITEMS.
The three county bridges have been put in
good repair, Staples Point Bridge having been
shingled with the best cedar shingles, and
the bridges are in such condition that it is
thought that with the supply of plank on
hand, the cost of maintaining them for the
coming year will be very light.
For the amount of bills audited upon inc
other accounts, reference may be had to
the amount of bills paid, as set forth in the
County Treasurers report.
1t should be remembered, however, that the
gross amount of the bills paid from the treas
ury may not be precisely the same as the
amount of bills audited by the County Com
missioners, as some of the bills audited this
year may not be paid till nert year.
1t will be seen that the entire liabilities OF
the county including the bonded debt is only
500 1851.
The amount of cash in the treasury aside
from the amount of taxes due and unpaid, and
other resources, is $25, Bob "a, which will be
sufficient to pay all bills which may become
due before the tax of 1882 becomes available
The county bonds can be paid only by COM
paratively small annual instalments covering
a long period of time, so that although the re-
sources are sufficient to pay all Indebtedness
still the county cannnt be said to be out of
debt.
In compliance with Sec. 81, Chap; 239, of
the laws of 1880, requiring "like estimates for
