The following report of the com
mittee on public property war pre-
sented:
To the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Grant
County: Gentlemen your committee on
public buildings and property, beg leave to report
as follows
We have visited the sheriffs residence Jail and
other buildings on the Jail grounds and find
that our former recommendations have all been
carried out by the chairman and clerk and in a
satisfactory manner.
We find that the painting of the interior of the
Jail has added greatly to the general appearance
We would recommend that the detention
room be changed from the room in the residence
to the room now used as bath room on the second
floor Of the jail, which room was originally in
tended to be the detention room. In doing this it.
will be necessary to remove the bathtub from the
where 1T now is into the residence; and we al
so recommend that bathtub bepurchased for the
Jail and placed in of the ceson the south side
We estimate the cost thereof at one hundred
twenty-five dollars ($l25.00).
Upon examination OF the interior of the court
house. we find that the roof is now in good repair
and that now is good time to have finished the
interior walls of the building. 1t is very evident
to all that the walls are becoming dirty and should
now be attended to. The walls of the building
should be shellaced and then frescoed When
this is done it will endure for many years to come
We estimate that the cost of this would be twenty
FIVE hundred dollars ($2500.00)
We recommend that there be placed in the his
torical room two glass cases, one to be placed on
the south wall of the room, and the other extend
ing from the south along the east wall to the door
The shelving to be eight feet hig h and the extreme
length about thirty feet with two foot wide
Shelves also to be glass doors with locks and to be
finished to match the woodwork of the interior of
the room, the same to be used for relics generally
for the people of the county. We estimate the
cost to be one hundred sXtyfve ($165 00) dollars.
We also recommend there be purchased for the
janitor certain mechanical tools which estimate
to cost about thirty $3.50 OO) dollars. We believe
that if certain tools are furnished him 1t will be
saving to the county, in this that many times be
of not having the proper tools he is required
to call in carpenter or plumber to do certain
work at more or less expense to the county.
We recommend that there be paid to The Farm
ers' Telephone company for the use of the tele-
phone in the sheriffs residence the of eighteen
(S18) dollars per annum the same to be paid
monthly at the rate of ST so per month. Also
that contract be entered into with the Wisconsin
Telephone Company for the use of the phones in
the several offices in the court house for the sum
of $50 90 per annum, the same to be paid monthly
at the rate of 81 so per month.
We also recommend that kredGarner the present
iantor of the court house and court house grounds
be reappointed as such ianitor for the period of
one year begnningJan. 4 81 at salary of$7OO 90
the same to be paid in monthly installments as
other county officers are paid We recommend
that the work of the janitor be under the super
vision of the chairman and clerk of this board and
that in the event he does not give proper salts
faction the said chairman and clerk shall have the
right to discharge him and employ such other per-
son or persons as in their judgment is right and in
the interest of the county.
We recommend that there be paid to the city of
Lancaster for the use of the water in the court
house and court house grounds the sum of fifty
($50.00) dollars per annum
