PROUD UKIAH.
The New County Buildings Now
Under Way.
Architectural Improvements in an Active
Community-The Courthouse and the
Hall Of Records

The beautiful little city of Ukiah, which
nestles so prettily among the hills of Men
docino County at the head of the Russian
River, is situated in Cne of thu finest sec
tions of the State of California. The city
Is the present terminus of the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad, and is the GEN.
ter of a large and extremely fertile district.
1t is doubtful if any other portion Of the
State exceeds that section of MendOcino
County which is directly tributary to L kiah
in gener al diversity of products.
In the last few years the county has been
the recipient OF a large immigration at
tTacted by It's manifest advantages, and
Ukiah which numbered its inhabitants FIVE
years ago ct less than 1000 now claims with
a good deal of confidence q population of
over 5000 souls. Every other section of the
county has experienced q corresponding
increase, and there has arisen an absolute
necessity for enlarged accommodations for
county officers in order that a proper pro-
lection OF its records and the administration
OF justice should be secured.
After a great deal of careful consideration
1t WAS decided that the old courthouse,
which was bull over 20 years ago and
was quite ina~fquate 10 the require
ments OF the present generation, should be
entirely reconstructed and such new build
ings added as should suffice for all future
wants. The county also decided that no
debt should be created for this object and
provided for raising the cost of the i'm
pr0vemeAts by the usual routine of taxation
therefore the money, amounting to over

$4,000, is now to the credit OF the fund,
and as progress is made in the buildings is
promptly paid out, thus leaving no debt.
The new county buildings occupy
whole square In the center of the city of
l khan, 200 feet in length on each side. The
former courthouse was a low, two-steried
structure. placed In the center and adorned
by no architectural beauties. II was de-
cided TO raise and extend the building and
TO erect jail on one corner of the square
and hall OF records on another thus
forming a group OF buildings which archi-
tecturally should be az ornament 10 the
city. A pOrticO with pillars was added TO
the old courthouse, which. when raised
gave lower story 10 feet in the clear in
height. This basement is constructed of
brick covered with cement, and will con-
tain minor Offices and the space required
for heating and storage. The second story

chambers, jury-rOom and the like 4 dome
surmounis the roof. An entrance at the
back and front Of the courthouse is built OF
granite and Is reached by flight of stone
steps.
At the northwest corner is situated the
County jail and Offices Of the Sheriff. On
the other corner Of the square is the Hall
~ Records, Of the same size as that of the
jail and Of corresponding external appear
ance. Both are perfectly fireproof, built
OF brick, with cement covering and iron.
The square In which the structures are situ-
ated Is to be bOrdered by a granite coping
and divided by serpentine walks laid in ce-
ment. At some future time splendid
fountain in front Of the courthouse is pro-
jected. The total cost of the entire i'm
Droyements will fall but little short of
100000. The buildings were planned by
John w. Curtis. the architect, of this city.
