The Plans for the Addition to the County Building. The plans for the addition to the county
 building have been made by Brown & Still son, according to the suggestions of the eoun- ty commissioners. The building is to be of brick, with dimensions of 45 by 90 feet. The basement will be slightly higher than the basement of the main county building, mak- ing the main floor correspondingly higher. The space between joists, however, will be sufficiently less to bring the floors on level with the second story. On the first floor there gre to be located the sheriff's office, 8 grand jury room, waiting rooms for wit nesses, temporary lookup for prisoners awaiting trial, vault, and connected with the latter 8 room which can be used for coroners office or for a pro- bate office, in case the proposed change as to the latter should be carried out. The lookup will be connected directly with the prisoners dock on the next floor by an iron stairway, and there will be like connection from the jury room to the court room above.
 The second floor will be mostly occupied with court room for criminal business. It is to be very high, practically constituting two stories, and, in addition to numerous side windows, will be lighted and ventilated from the top. Around portion of the court room, in the space over fhe adjoining offices, there is to be placed gallery having three or four times the capacity of the present court room gallery.
 There will be a lobby connecting with the lobby of the main building, and adjoining the court room will be Ithe State attorneys office and clerks office with vault for the keeping of the criminal records. The plans give very general satisfaction.
