Supervisor Griffin, chairman of com
mittee on Public Buildings, submitted the
following report:
Mr.. Chairman, dc: Your committee on
Public Buildings, after having examined
the county court house, find that some re-
pairs are necessary, and would recommend
that this board authorize the committee to
have them made. We find that the roof
needs painting badly, and that the iron
shutters and fence on the basement story
need scraping thoroughly and painting,
and in the matter of heating this building,
as the members of the board are we'll
aware, has so far proved very expensive
and unsatisfactory, and your committee
would strongly recommend that this mat
ter he attended to at this meeting as the
September meeting doesn't give much
| time for changes before the building will
need warming. Your committee find that
the changes and repairs will cost consid-
cradle amount and one of great Il. pOrtance,
and we think it proper that this board Us IA
whole body should decide what change, If
any, should be made.
| In connection with this matter your com.
mittee has invited the manager of the
lIaxton Steam Heating Company here, and
with the boards permission he will explain
the system OF heating and relative cost of
same.
Your committee have visited the county
asylum and find also that there are some
small repairs very much needed, and in our
| judgment it would be economical 10 have
them made now.
We find the river walls of the barn very
much weakened by reason of high water
in the Illinois river, as the barn stands in a
very dangerous place and needs repairs
and the county agent thinks it economy to
move the hay barn away from the river in
to the hog lot, and as the repairs would
cost about as much where it stands as it
would to move il, we recommend that the
committee be authorized TO move and re-
pair the barn at cost not to exceed four
hundred dollars
We find the dining room and some other
| floors of the asylum which are now con.
struCted of wood, badly rat eaten and al
most entirely gone. We recommend that
your committee be authorized to replace
them with brick or hollow tile.
Your committee also finds that in case of
! fire at the asylum, there is now no way of
escape from the upper stories except by
the ordinary stairs which would probably
be enveloped in flames, and we recommend
the construction of, say three fire escapes
or ladders, on the outside of the building
also that some hand grenades or fire eXtin-
guishers and one small Babcock fire eXtin-
guisher be purchased and kept by the
Warden in convenient place.
| We find also that one of the down water
spouts is out of repair and that the water
from the caves is washing out and under.
mining the foundation of the building and
needs repairing, and with your authority,
will be attended to at once.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A. Il. GRIFFIN,
Chairman.

mittee on Equalization of Personal Prop
erty, submitted the following report which
