While attending court last
Monday ex-supervisor Edge
comb took Mr.. Cramer through
the various county offices and
called his attention to the
crowded condition of them, and
to the unsafe repositories Of
many of the valuable records
of the county, especially those
kept in the clerks office, that
are stored away in a small
frame building in the back
yard. 1t would appear from
Mr.. Edgecomb's acting as chap
eron that, notwithstanding his
resignation as member of the
board, he still had a proper de-
gree of interest in the care of
county property. If every
property owner in the county
was brought in as close touch
with the condition of the coun-
ty affairs and the great danger
to the valuable records of the
county, as Mr.. Edgecomb has
been, a unanimous demand
would be made at once for
better accommodations and
security. The members of the
jury should not go home from
this term of court without maxi
ing themselves we'll acquainted
with the situation Observer.
