APPROVED
The Plans and Specifications For
the New Court House.

The County. Commissioners and
members of the Statutory Board held q
meeting Friday morning to look over
the plans and specifications Of the new
court house. as revised by Hannaford
g. Sons, the architects.
After carefully Inspecting them they
were found satisfactory and they were
formally approved. Bids for the work
will be advertised for In the near fu-
ture and as soon as possible the work
will be commenced. The contract is
a big one and already number OF
contractors and builders are preparing
their estimates In order to send in
bids
Mr.. H. e. Hannaford, who has been
In the city for several days, left Fri
day afternoon for Columbus. He took
with him the Jail plans and specifica-
tions, which must be approved by the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tions.
In conversation with a Leader repor-
er Mr.. Hannaford remarked incident
ally that Vt was rather strange that a
county in as good financial condition
as Washington should be spending
only $125,000 for a court house when
other counties in the state who were
less able to afford it were spending
more money and putting up finer
buildings. AS an example, he quoted
Greene county, which is at present
erecting a 100000 court house at
Xenia.
Further than that Mr.. Hannaford
said that Washington county could
net build as fine court house for the
money now as she could two years
ago. The prices on nearly every kind
of material used in building have in
creased, in some cases are almost
double what they were when the court
house was decided upon by the peo-
pie. II feel safe in saying" said Mr..
Hannaford, "that it would take $175,-
900 to build court house now that
could have been built for $125.OO0 two
years ago."
He further stated that the structure
as planned would be very nice one,
but thought the county could well af-
for to have spent s25O.OOO for a public
building. The increase in taxes would
have been so small as to be hardly
noticeable. even to heavy taxpayers.
