and Assessment Committees Re-
port.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the County Board of Super
visors at their recent session was the
decision to defend the suit brought
against the county by the architects
Kinney and Detweiler.
This suit is the result of resolution
passed by the Board a year ago ap-
pointing a committee of five to procure
plans and specifications for new coun-
ty court house. Messrs Kinney and
Detweiler claims that they were auth
orized by the committee to drawn up
and submit plans and specifications
which they did The Board however
was not satisfied and turned the plans
pown. The architects offered TO make
chsnges in the plans practically to suit.
but the Board remained ebdnrate
Messrs Kinney and Detweier then in.
stituted suit t. recover t35so
There have been all sorts Of rumors
regarding the matter and there have
even been limits 1T underhanded deal
ing but very little that is definite is
known. 1t is claimed by some that
the COMMITTEES HAD no right to authorize
the drawing of plans and specifications
and that the Boards intention WAS
simply to have an open competition. In
fact District Attorney Hougen admit
ted having written to the architects on
the subject 1t is rumored that after
his letter had been received the firm
also received letter from the com.
mitee telling them to go on with the
work
On the other hand it is claimed that
the committee acted entirely within
their instructions but that the Board
should not have authorized them to
proceed without having first made an
appropriation sufficient to pay for the
plans etc. The resolution itself reads
as follows
Whereas, The Court House Of Mani
towoc County ia old, incopvenient and
unsanitary; and
Whereas, The vaults Of the various
county offices are crowded and incon-
venient on account of lack Of space;
and
Whereas, The interests of the people
Of Manitowoc County demand better
and more convenient county offices
now, therefore.
Be it Resolved. By the County Board
OF Supervisors of Manitowoc County,
that It is the sense Of this Board that
said county should Immediately pro
ceed to the erection Of more commo-
dious and convenient Court House, at a
cost not exceeding one hundred thou
saud dollars ($1O0, 000) be it
Further Resolved, That the Chair.
man OF said Board be and he hereby is
directed to appoint l. committee OF five
members from said Board to procure
plans and specifications of q suitable
Court House for ManitOwoc County.
and to investigate and report as to
what would be the best manner OF
raising funds herewith to erect new
Court House, and to make such further
rec lamentations relative to the matter
Of erecting Court House building as
they may do m of value to ths County
Bard OF Supervisors of said Couaty; be

Further Resolved, That said com
mi,tee make and file its report in writ
ing. together with plans and specifica-
lions with the County Clerk Of said
County, on or before the lst day Of
