VI sAA> NV
A correspondent Of the Silve
State has the following description
of the new public building to bt
) erected in this city:
Well, the plaus are now undeI
way, and | must confess that | wa.
actually surprised in looking ovel
them to find that the Supervising
Architect is really going to erect in
Carson City magnificent structure
The building is to front on Carson
Street, aud is set fifty feet back
from the building line. The main
entrance, of course, will be on Car
son street. but there will be side
entrance on the North side. The
building is TO be constructed Of the
best selected red brick. with press
and nodded brick trimmings and
silis.
THE POST-OFFICE
Will occupy the entire first story,
In the rear of the first floor will be
the distributing room for mails,
and at one side of the main en-
trance will be the Postmaster pri-
yate office, which will be quite a
handsome room. The entire West
front will be given to a lobby, in
which will be the postoifice screen
aud stamp counters also places for
registering letters and obtaining
money orders and postal notes.
THE COURT ROOM.
There will be two main staircases.
one at either end of the building.
These will land you upon the second
floor, which will be known as the
courtroom floor. On the East side
Of this floor the court room will 0e
located, 1t will be a handsome
room, % feet by II feet, and finish
ed in neat but substantial man
ner. On either side of the court
room offices will De located, enc for
the Judge. and the other fer the
Clerk Of the Court, and across the
corridors will be suites for other
Court officials. Several vaults will
also be located on this floor.
Above the second story will be
the attic: which is not to be A lum
Der room by aay means, but be fur
nished IN Il substantial manner.
The jury rooms and toilette rooms,
with additional vaults for the stor-
age OF Court records, will be located
here, and it is barely possible that
the Land Office may be moved from
Reno and occupy quarters on this
floor The main entrance ON Car
son street is to be through series
of four arcadeG doorways, to which
there will be a pent roof The CEN
trail figure of this front is a gable
tlanked with turrets. At the North
west angle there is
4 CLOCK TOWER,
Which rises about 100 feet from
the pavement. This clock tower
gives the building very imposing
appearance and | sincerely hope !
that in case clock is put in this
tower there will be some one to see
that it is kept running. In about
twe-thirds Of the court-houses of |
this country you see the dial of a
clock with the hands broken off,
and seeming to express the senti-
ment that time was not made for
the particular community in which
the court house happens to be.
Let Carson see to 1t that her
clock is kept running; she will then
have reputation at least ahead of
a good many cities Of perhaps
greater importance.
The stairs and postofice screen
will be constructed of hard wood.
The halls and corridors will be |!
hoored with marble tile, and the |,
corridors and court room will be
wainscoated.
The plans for the construction of
the building will be completed. |
imagine, some time before this
reaches you, and as there is no
other hindrance the public building
will then be commenced right
away.

daughter of K. r. Park.
