LARGE BUILDING
 IS ONLY SOLUTION
T. H. SPENCER SAYS IN RELIEv- ING cOURTH HOUSE THERE SHOULD BE NO MAKEsHIFT AT. TEMPTED.

"If Jefferson county is going to build new courthouse 1t should erect a build ing that will be permanent and one that will answer for years to come" said T. H. Spencer yesterday. "A small annex to the present building would be a mere makeshift, and would only temporarily re- lieve the crowded condition of the courts to cause even greater trouble than we now have in the future A.
 Tt is submitted that the county sbouId spend all money 1t can possibly do so m the roads, and it is also stated that !, great amount of additional room for tb. courts is not needed. To the first of these s'aEehlents l agree heartily. but at the same time the crying need for a new courthouse is not a matter to be neglect ed- The work of the courts is great in Tn volume and a lack of room is a serious handicap. With reference to the ade- quaey of the present building it is ;certain that 1t is not big enough and that its ar- rangement on the interior is very incon- venient
 The matter of erecting a building just sufflcient to accommodate the present needs of the county would not be true economy The population of Jefferson county is growing rapidly and the work or the courts Is growing proportionately New courts are being created yearly. and all available space in the present court house has been taken. The old building 1T remodeled would Just about give with the proper accommodations for witnesses and jurors, room for the civil courts, and with the county offices and criminal courts in the new building structure of considerable size would be required.
 ''The best move the Board of Revenue could make would be to put up a court house that will be adequate for 25 or ad years to come, and I do not believe that a 10 or 12-story building will be tod large" 3l
