the new court house in accordance with the
original plans and specifications, as nearly

and marble work. In our first report we rec
commended the stone cOrnico particularly.
While greatly in favor of completion as
above set forth. we did not desire to appear
in any way dictatOrial, and thought 1T better
to let the matter come before the board with
out extraordinary pressure on our part. We
are. however. earnestly in favor of all the
additions. and do recommend that this board
raise the necessary amount to complete the
building as aforesaid, which, will be:
For stone cornice. 1888 90

For dome 1900 100
