THE COURT HOUSE.
Changes In the Court Rooms and a New
System of Ventilation.
The Sanitary Condition OF the Bulldog to
be Greatly Improved "A Magnificent
Apartment House, ''The Whit
ing" Soon to be Built.

Mr.. Guy Tiden, the architect, has
prepared plans for several needed i'm
proVements for the Stark county Court
House, and to-day work nen, under his
direction, began putting his designs In
to effect.
Court Room No will be made smaller
and Court Room No. larger by remov.
Ing the partition now separating them
more to the north. The present system
Of heating and ventilating the court
rooms will be entirely changed. A new
boiler of about seven horse power will
be placed in the boiler hO1se aad the
steam heat generated by 1t will be car-
ried to the Indirect radiators at present
located in the bottom Of the narrow
iues in the basement of the building,
which conduct the heat to the court
rooms. These aues will be cOnnected
with tubes to a Sturtevant blowing fan,
which will be located In the basement
and operated by small engine. The
force of this fan will drive the heat into
the rooms. The ventilation will be
through flues, erected for that pur-
pose In the new partition wall, between
the two court rooms, and these fl 1888
will center in the west tower, which
will be converted into a Ventilating
shaft by means Of change in the cap
Of the structure.
An additional advantage of this sys-
tenn will be that In summer time the fan
can be used, without the heat, and cold
air from the bssment will be poured in
to the court rooms.
The improvements will greatly I'M
Drove the sanitary condition of the
curt House and will be accomplished
quite moderate expense.
