D. Myers, civil engineer, of Richmond,
was hero to-day, and carefully examined
the courthouse building, with a view to
determining its safety, which some par
ties doubted. His report will be written
out, but he expressed his opinion readily
that with some repairs that can readily
be made, the building ought to stand loo
years. and it would be useless expense
to tear it down. He advised stucco work
where necessary, and that the floor be
taken up so the timbers under 1t can be
examined, and If they are unsound, re-
newed.
Mr.. Myers also recommended that ven
tilators be inserted In the walls under
the floor, to secure dryness to the TIM
bers.
The jail building was not examined
| by Mr.. Myers, but many think the SUI
pervisors should have that building put II
good repair, as there are now dozer
prisoners confined Oh the upper floor
alone, In quarters too close for them
and the lower floor is in bad condition.
