library OF the county was also inadequate
The old room was occupied both as a
lobby for the lawyers and as a library.
All the available space for books was
utilized, the privacy OF the judges room
was invaded, and books were piled away
In almost inaccessible places. Attor-
neys consulting law books had to do 1t
often surrounded by a laughing, story
telling crowd OF lawyers.
These demands were given still furt her

The ornamental balcony and rail with
which the light we'll is finished gives it

At the head OF the stairway is the new

entrance is imposing. The large door
is set with the rippIed giass, aud above
the door an arched window is set with the
same glass.
There are book shelves on The four sides
Of the room, running up eight feet, and
surmounted by cornice. The shelves
are adjustable. They will accommodate

occasion demands the capacity OF the
library can be greatly increased by ex

needed
Judge Emery told THE AMERICAN rep
resentative that the library room-though
not as large as that at Portland-in beauty
and convenience was unquestionabIy the
finest in the State. The law library itself
is surpassed only by those OF Psnobscot,
Kennebec, Cumberland and Androscog-
gin counties.

with Il balance OF something like so ooC

ers to seriously consider the demands Tor

them Tor several years.
the commissioners weighed carefully
the needs of the building, the proba bic
cost otthe improvements, and The Imam
c!si condition OF the county, and
decided that the necessary outlay
was warrapted-in fact, the county
never was In better condition to
make the improvements. The com
missioners reckoned wisely. Not only
have they kept the cost close to the esti-
mate of $4,000, but they have done the
work wit bout increasing taxes a particle,
aud more than that, after all bills on
building and furnishings are paid, there
viii still be balance of from $4,000 to
81. 600 in the treasury.
After the commissioners had decided to
do the work, they lost no time getting
about il. George A. Ciough, of Boston,
was asked to submit plans. Mr.. Ciough,
by the way, Is a Hancock county boy-a
native OF Bluehill " here he still retains a
summer residence. He is the architect OF
the new courthouse in Boston, and many
other fine public buildings aud is now
engaged on Catholic church in South
Boston which will cost in the neig h Dor.

After two or three sets OF plans had been
submitted, the plans were tinaily accepted
and were ubmitted to leading contract
ors in the State for bids. Six were receiv-
ed. They were opened on June IA, and
the contract was awarded to A. Nj. Fos-
ter, OF Ellsworth, for the carpenter work,
and j. E. Howard, OF Augusta, for The ma
son work, these men putting in joint bid
at eli 3i9 On June % ground was broken
for the new courthouse extension.
THE IMPROVEMENTS
In making the improvements on the
courthouse, all the needs mentioned
above have been admirably met. The
grand jury and the county attorney have
been provided with suitable quarters,
the county clerk has an additional fife
room, the county commissioners have a
room in keeping with the dignity OF their
office, the law library Is suitably provided
for, the attorneys have a lobby apart
from the library, and the two resident
justices of the supreme court are provid-
ed with offices.
SO admirably has the architect done his
work in adapting the new work to the
old, that everything is in perfect har-
mopy. and except for the newness of the
extensions, it would be impossible to say
where he old work ended and the new
began.
The woodwork throughout is OF ash.

by the county commissioners when the
contract was awarded.
The alterations end improvement made
in the building may he summed up in a
few words. The building has been en-
larged by an extension on the rear .5xi5
feet, with wings on each side about seven
feet. The style o. architecture Is In
keeping with the Origin building. The
appearance OF the building from the
from; is unchanged.
On the interior OF the building he NOR K
has extended To The old part OF the build
ing, and extensive alterations have been
made to afford he,ior accommodations for
the different ofiices. Til" interior finish
also Is in kerpi'ip'~ Ith THAI ri the orig insl
building. The eat.se courthouse l. 30
feet long, the main corridor being little
over 100 feet.
ENLARGEMENT NECESSARY.
Before entering upon a detailed de-
scription OF the work done, it may be
we'll to enumerate some OF the reasons
that made 1t necessary.
In tSs6 when the new, or what may
now be called the "old' courthouse, was
completed, the county commissioners had
the room now occupied by the register OF
deeds a. a recording room. The register
had but one room, and the file room.
The girls who recorded deeds were
crowded into one corner OF the Office be-
hind a screen. The arrangement was in
convenient and annoying to those having
business with the register. 1t was appar-
ent that a change WAS necessary, and
after much discussion the county COM
missiopers gave up their room to the reg
lister OF deeds.
Since that time the county commls-
sioners-the directors OF corporation
with sonnet hing like 10000 stockholders
and a valuation of nearly sl5, 900 ,00o-bave
been driven about from pillar to post,
virtually without an office they could
call their own. When court was not in
session they occupied the grand jury
room, but when court was in session
always the busiest time for the commits
sioners-they were crowded into the
small Office provided for the county treas
urer. This necessitated the moving, half
dozen times a year, OF all the books and
papers OF the county commissioners.
Another and important demand for I'm
provement was in the provision made for
the sessions OF the grand jury. There
was a witness room and a grand jury
room; the county attorney, in the man
apement OF business before the grand jury,
had no room OF his own. 1t Is necessary
for the county attorney to consult with
witnesses before taking them before the
grand Jury. To do this it was necessary
for him to encrosch upon the office and
the good mature Of other county officials.
or to hold his consultations in the public
corridor.
Still another demand for more room
came from the county clerks office. The
file room connected with this office over
flowed long ago, and many valuable old
paners and records have been, perforce,
releeatsd TO the dust and exposed to the
danger OF fire in a room in the basement
of the building. The demand for more
room became imperative.
