"I would dislike to have the present courthouse pass out of the possession of the county, said Col. R. H. Pearson yesterday. "I believe the original idea of erecting a new building for court pur- poses on the site of the county jail is good but at the same time I believe the present building should be retained for certain divisions of the county courts.
 With a remodeled interior the present building would be thoroughly adequate for the city, circuit and chancery courts. The new building should be made ten or 12 stories tall in order that the fu- ture may be taken care of. The plan of having the jail on top of the court house is a modern idea and a most sensible one.

'In the present courthouse the records of the county are constantly exposed to danger from fire and otherwise. A new courthouse should be so constructed as to conveniently accommodate all of the county offices and it should be made thoroughly fireproof.

 "The Board of Revenue has the right idea about the matter which is now so pressing The proper thing for the com missioners to do Is to go ahead and remedy the present inadequate conditions existing at the courthouse"
