much interested in the plans now beinl
matured for public building In Prin
cess Anne, which will include cour
house, clerks and registers office, com
pensioners office, office for the schoo

thought all these desirable object
gould be comprised in single building

ilas been given to issue county bonds
y Is above all desirable that a safe plac
mould be provided in which to keel
ne records of the county. A tire-proo
uaheX IN which to store the count
records could be erected at compare
livery small outlay. Such building
'osolutely necessary, whatever may b
aiu about an entirely new court house
mere IS some objection to the cost of
new court house, but there can be non
10 hre-proof building for preservin
rsofds, and there is no reason in tn
wMofid why this and all the other facili
'es lor public business should not b
