could be made into the chambers, making
them large and roomy. As now. the
Municipal Court oe held in one ofthem
and there would be an abundance of room
for private Offices for the judge and clerk.
The Supreme Court room and Senate
Chamber will be most suitable for the two
rarts Of the Circuit Court, while the adjoin-
ing rooms may been used as Offices for the
judges, for the prosecuting attorney and tor
Jury rooms, There is an abundance OF
space for all and this leaves but one branch
Of the government. to be provided for, va:
The COMMISSIONERS.
The third floor OF the building has large
room, with two smaller ones adjoining.
There is no lack of space there, for the COM
missioners' room, the county library and
Offices for the clerk and librarian, which
could be arranged with comparatively little
expense. This bestows every branch OF the
double government, gives quarters to every
officer and does not crowd the building
There are other equally good plans, but 1t ID
unnecessary to give them here.
These are subjects under general discus
sion and the idea is meeting approval wher-
ever discussed. There is another potent
reason mentioned for this STEP but 1t Is a
subject within itself and viii be produced
shortly. In the meantime there is, in the
above, food for much thought on the part
of the taxpayers of the county and city.

FIGURING on SPACE.

The most suitable quarters for the police
department everything considered, would
be the old library room in the endorsement.
Il has an entrance on Sixteenth street, and
would make room also for the police court
Rom and lock up. The room is well light
ed and would be a vast improvement on the
present accommodations. The Auditor $
General Office, overhead, would sccommo-
date the clerk and receiver, giving their
plenty Of room and eommodious vault for
records. The west half Of the north wing,
now occupied by the executive chambers,
will accommodate the Board of Public
Works and the Water and Gas Boards. An
entrance from Chsphne street, al the foun.
tain, could be made, If necessary. There
are four rooms, including the Attorney
Generals and Auditors private rooms, that
could be used BY the city collector. the
Mayor and assessors, giving private Offices
to each and general office TO the former.
This would keep all Of the city Offices on
the west side of the main corridor leaving
the east side for the
COUNTY sPAcS.
The Office of the Secretary Of State would
be best for the County Clerk, leaving the
private Office to be made into vault. This
is absolutely necessary, as the greatest want
is large, lighted and ventilated vault. The
corresponding room, on the lower end,
would serve for the Clerk Of the Circuit
Court, with room in the rear court yard for
new vault. The Sheriff could occupy the
quarters of the Superintendent of Free
Schools, giving him two eommodious rooms.
The private Office Of the Treasurer and the
isniIor's room would afford additional
Offices, leaving an abundance of space in the
saseGsn, tor storage Of archives, etc.
