Report of Special Committee on the

The Court House Building Commit
Tee reported DIS follows:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of
We, the committee appointed by the
County Board at the special session held
in February, 1905, and designated as the
Pierce County Court House Building
Committee respectfully submit the fol-
lowing account of all acts and things
done by us:
A meeting of the committee was held
at Ellsworth March Both and 31st at which
all members were present. With Archi-
tect Buechner and Contractor SkoOglun
the committee staked out the grounds
and located the new building on the site
of the old Court House, excepting the
front of the building was placed twenty
feet further back from the street than
the old one. Several applications for the
position of Superintendent of ConStruc-
ton for the county were considered, and
d. l.. Murray, of Prescott, engaged at $4
per day.
The full committee met April 10th with
Architect Buechner and Mr.. Evans, a
representative of the Lake Superior Quar-
ries Co., to consider complaints that the
Siskiwit stone furnished by this com
pany was not of as good quality as shown
the Board at the special session when
the contracts were let After carefully
comparing the stone, which were water
soaked and somewhat stained, with the
samples and giving hearing to Mr..
Evans, the committee decided that the
stone was as near the samples as could
De expected and was suitable.
May 18th, the full committee met with
Architect Buechner Ii was decided that
the sewer to connect the sewerage system
of the jail and sheriff's residence to be put
in by the contractor, with the sewer to
be constructed by the village Of Ellsworth
as per agreement, should commence four
feet north and two feet west of the north
west corner of the office building
and run in a southwesterly direction
u feet to the street, and terminate in a
man-hole in connection with the village
sewer. The chairman of the committee
was instructed to arrange with the vii
lage authorities to procure the material
at the time it was bought for the village
sewer. And as it was found upon inves-
tigation that the work of putting it in
could be done cheaper and more salts
factory by the village at the time the
village sewer was constructed than to
make a separate job of it, the chairman
was also instructed to arrange with the
village authorities to have the work done.
The committee voted to accept the offer
Of the Grand Lodge of F. e. A. NJ of the
State of Wisconsin, as extended through
Hancock Lodge f. & A. NJ No. 229, OF

Masonic ceremonies June 21st 1905.
