A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
The County Commissioners Should Build
PorticO to Rear of the Court House.

Main street having been completely occu-
pied with buildings from the old Fair Ground
Hill TO Western Maryland College. the growth
of Westminster must be in other directions
In the past twelve years a number of commo-
dious and attractive residences have been
erected on Willis and Centre streets and more
are likely to be built in the near future. Will
lis street from Court to Centre is about filled
up, and the only improvement needed there is
at the Court House. This building is of I'M
posing architecture, substantially built, with
fire proof vaults and court room equal to the
best in the State outside of Baltimore, besides
having accommodations for all the county of
fees. 1t needs repainting, especially upon
the side facing Willis street. The stone steps
in the rear are loose and will have TO be re-
laid, and the present is an opportune time to
have the improvements made which the sur
roundings demand. The Commissioners should
keep the property in accord with the march
of improvements in the vicinity of the Court
House. A portico to correspond with the one
facing Court street should be built on the Will
lis street side, and the whole building be re
painted. This can be done without any IN
crease of taxation. About $1,000 of the mort
gage income tax that formerly went to the
State will now be retained by the county, and
the fixing of the salary of the States attorney
about $1,000 year.
The 5000 thus saved to the county, we sup
pose, would be sufficient to make the improve
ments suggested; and if the money is not thus
expended it will be spent in some other way,
for there will be plenty of demands for it if
there be any surplus. We do not know of any
pressing demands upon the county, and the
money from the mortgage tax and that saved
in the States attorneys office could not be
better used than in improving the Court House.
Let the Commissioners consider this matter
at once. Let them consult with the residents
of the neighborhood and with people in gen
eral. The Court House belongs TO the whole
people Of the county, and we feel sure that all
of them feel pride in it and would sanction
the Improvement here suggested.
The next improvement in order after that
to the Court Rouse would be the erection of
modern Jail. This could be built without
increased taxation also, if the increase from
the mortgage tax and the saving in the States
attorneys salary be laid aside for few years
as building fund.

new decade at its very dawning to better work
Three attractive parts on the program are
special music by the school under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. John A. Englar; Renaissance

and an address on Personal Work for the
