IN good condition, except as follows
We find the cellars of the dwelling
part OF the Jail in damp, unheathful
condition. We recommend that the
hallway in the basement of the old
portion OF the Court House be wains-
coted and painted to correspond with
the hallway in the new portion. We
recommend, further, that the vault for
merly used by the Commissioners be
placed under the charge of the Regis
ter and Recorder, to be used by him
as an Annex. We recommend, finally,
that the janltor Of the Court House be
instructed to put the court room and
jury rooms in more tidy condition for
the sittings of future courts.
