The Commissioners on Wednesday,
after much tribulatiOn, determined to
locate the new court house on the site
which the present buildings occupy. To
secure room necessary for the structure,
the Methodist parsonage and grounds to
within about forty feet of the church
building was purchased by the Commits
sioners. at a price of $4,000, possession
to be given October 10th. The decision
of the Board will of necessity require
that arrangements be made for court
room and offices for use during the build
ing period. Several thousands of dollars
of expense will have to be incurred for
these purposes. and the Commissioners
very properly took time to consider
what was best to be done under the cir.
cumstances. To meet these contingent
cies, they have taken an option for sixty
days on the St. Clair Hotel property.
with view Of purchasing the same
for offices and court facilities
while the buildings are being erected
1t is believed that this course will save
the county considerable sum of money
in rents, and the building when nc
longer required by the county, can be
sold for the purchase price.
Their decision as to the site of the
new buildings will meet with very gen.
eral favor. we believe, by the people of
the county
