We further recommend
Second, that the plasiering in the Court Room
aud one oil the jury rooms be repaired.
Third that a floor Of hard pine or hard
wood be laid ia the kitchen ia the Court House
Fourth, that better ventilation be proyided for
the cabinet closets in the county Jail and a more
thorough system adopted for removal Of eete mat
Ter and disposal Of the same which is readi IS
accomplished If our NTH recommendation Is adopt.
ed
Fifth, that a water closet be constructed on the
Court House gronnds in some neat inexpensive
plan % snicient size q provide for the accomme-
daton OF the persons attending the terms Of court
ana the sessions Of tie County Board well as the
county officials
We make this Recommendation as we find the
present closets 70 be SMALL nconyenient and in bad
s1nitary condition. That we believe that a proper
closet can be erected for something less than two
hundred dollars
Sixth, we suggest that in order to keep the build
ings, grounds and outhouses in good condition
slant care aud careful supervision is necessary and
that this can only he obtained by having some one
Entrusted with this special duty and we therefore
suggest that 1t is advisable 10 employ a janitar for
these purposes aud such other work in connection
therewitn as may seem proper if arrangements can
be made SO not 10 incur excessive expense there
by.
our attention has teen called 10 the fact that
there is some defect ia the roof Of the county Office
building which allows leakage in heavy storms or
m times when the valleys filled with snow
The Supt. OF Public Property has been very faithful
IN trying 70 repair this but there 10 be some
defect in the construction Of the valleys needing
more complete examination than can be given at
this season. We therefore suggest that he be au-
thorized TO employ a competent builder to examine
the roof aud other parts of the building in early
spring and take such measures may be enectual
to prevent further damage.
