The Court House Matter.

Tuesday last there was meeting
in the Register OF Wills Office TO
discuss the rehabilitation Of the
Court House. Commissioners Lii
burn and Bowles presided, Mr.
Ballebger being indisposed and not
present.
Joseph III. Key was the frat
speaker. Mr.. Key read the resolu-
ton adopted BY the previous meet
ing and which vas published in
last weeks BEACON. He gave a
history of the present building and
contended that the duties Of the
Commissioner Court as prescribed
by statute did not authorize it to
contract for work Of such magni.
tude without an enabling Act from
the General Assembly. He also
read q letter showing the saving
that could be made by issuing
bonds and reciting the sale and
7remium secured from the sale Of
Eagerstown bonds.
Thomas Fl. Bond spoke next.
He complimented the Commission
ers for their economical administra-
ton of county affairs and contend
ed that the county was too poor to
indulge in luxuries and that we
did not need a Court House, the
present one being good enough and
strong enough with some little i'm
provements to last for a hundred
years. The house he said was pro-
perly built aud instead OF the walls
inciIning outward. as has been
claimed, they actually inclined in
ward and could not fall outward
Could be easily repaired aud streng-
thened at slight expense. He also
cOntended that il the Commission
ers issued script to settle for the
work contracted for they would
have to redeem said script by a lev,
and all the burden of the i'm prove
ment would fall on the tax Dayers
in one year. He was opposed to
building large amphitheatre for q
court house because court houses
were not intended for lounging
places. Many of the people who
loafed around court, he said, had
no business there and come out of
idle curiosity. The benches even
are an Innovation. Last term he
could NOT get into court to see u
attorney on business because of the
crowd.
K. G. Milburn next spoke. Said
the walls we're possibly plumb but
were not safe could take his hands
and pull down any of the walls in
half an hour. The broken stone
foundation used was the worse pos
sible for it could not be laid solid.
Also said that the caustIc proper
ties in the lime used in construct
ing the foundation and walls was
gone. The oundations, he said,
had settled : because water had
never been drained from them, and
2 because the sand used in the
mortar was never any good or pro
perly mixed. He contended that
the amount in the contract was but
q starter and more would soon
have to be expended.
Commissioner Lilburn stated
that in the absence Of the President
of the Board no positive reply
would now be made, but that if
the committee would submit it's
views in writing the Com missioners
would consider them at a future
meeting. The meeting then ad-
journed.
