THE DISCUSSION.
Mr.. Delbrugge moved that the report of
the committee be adopted.
This brought on q discussion, in the
course Ol WHICH MI. O(ein raised the point
that the plans prepared for the alteration of
the building to 6t it for county purposes
we're not adequate to the needs of tie
county.
Mr.. Delbrugge said be did not under.
stand that the point had anything to do
with the question, which was, solely, shall
the report Of the committee be adopted2
Mr.. Boring said he understood that Mr..
STEMS objection referred to the walls of the
vaults. He maintained that ths lSinch
walls provided for in the plans we're sufi.
cient to protect the contents from any fire
which might possibly occur.
Mr.. Peterson said the question wa strict
ly q business one. The opportunity was
afforded the county of exchanging its old
Court House for 9 new one. 1t would be
good sense to jump at the offer. The build
ing offered the county, when altered, would
be as admirably arranged as though it had
originally been designed for the purpose,
and all at q cost in money Of $l4.0 900 and
no inconvenience whatever. 1t was IN ad-
mitted fact that q new Court House kould
have to be built. If that was So hink
of the Inconvenience to be incurrcS&4k
county would have to occuPy SS)H
