the Mode 0tProCedure,
The Court House Commission met
yesterday morning pursuant to adj
journment, all members being present.
Yesterday was the day set by the Com
mlssloners for the examination of the
Hannaford plans and they were atonce
taken up by the Commission and dis
cussed at some length. Mr.. H. E.
Hannaford, representing the firm of
architects who have been employed by
the Commissioners, was present and
explained the plans in detail
After the explanations, inspection
and discussion were finished, it was
understood that the time had come to
take action on the plans and Mr.. Han
naford withdrew
Mr.. Grafton, in order to get the
matter before the Commission offered
resolution to the effect that their
preference was for the plans submit
ted by Richards, McCsrty & Bulford.
The Commissioners protested
against this resolution, and Judge
Rood suggested that a vote be taken
on plans for interior and exterior sep
arately. Again the Commissioners en-
tered protest and said they would
consider no plans but Hannaford's.
Mr.. Grafton then offered to substl-
tute "Hannaford & Sons in place of
Richards, McCarty & Bulford" in the
resolution that he had offered, and the
Commissioners requested time to con-
suit with their attorney, Mr.. A. d.
Folett. After consultation with Mr..
Folett, the COMMISSIONS returned to
the room and stated that they would
take no action or would not vote eX-
cept for the adoption or rejection of
the plans of Hannaford & Sons.
Chairman Randolph refused to en-
tertain the motion made by Mr.. Graf
ton or the appeal from his decision,
fled by Mr. Grafton.
A recess was taken until 1 O'Clock
for dinner and at the appointed hour
the four outside members were on
hand, but the Commissioners did not
put in an appearance. Clerk Orlando
Trotter was chosen chairman pro TEN
and the members of the Commission
who were present adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That it is the Judgment of
the Beard, after careful examination
of all the plans submitted to it, that
the general scheme and exterior de-
sign of those presented by Yost &
Packard are the best and most suit
able for a Court House and Jail for
Washington county, Ohio, and suggest
these changes to second floor plan
that the Common Pleas Court room be
placed at the rear, off of the streets,
and that the Probate Court rooms be
on the same floor.
After the adoption of this resolution
the meeting adjourned without date.
Conversation with members of the
Commission does not reveal what the
next development will be. Mr.. Ran
dolph went home yesterday afternoon
and will probably not be in for several
days,
Judge Reeds term of Office expiring
today, his place on the Commission
will be taken by incoming Judge Nix
on and it is not known how he stands
in regard to the matter However,
it is thought that a satisfactory settle
ment will be reached before long Both
parties consider that they are right in
matter and every member of the Com
mission is anxious to do everything in
a perfectly legal manner and for the
best interests of the people at large.
