condition existing in the defective
electric wiring of the building, and
in the lack of space and insecurity
of the vaults for the protection OF
the records. The condition of the
electric wiring in connection with
= leaky roof Is such as to make the
danger of flre very grave. And in
in the building that in its present
condition is secure against fire and
water. A condition that in the judg
ment of your committee demands
immediate attention.
I'VE further find that last year
on a levy of mills. $4,000 was
collected into a fund for the erec-
ton of a new court house, and that
this year on mill levy there will
be collected into this fund approx
mately $4,000, making total of
$4,000. Out OF this there has
been expended $4,000 FOR addi-
tfonal ground on the west OF the
present site, and it is contemplated
to spend $4,000 in the building of
a new Jail, which will leave at the
end of this year approximately $45,-
900 in the fund
After a careful consideration of
all of the above facts and the num-
erous suggestions of others who
we're consulted, as we'll as the pres
ept financial conditions with which
the people of the county are con-
fronted, and the future outlook;
your committee is led to the follow
ing conclusions and recommenda-
tions:
''First-We do not believe it ad-
visable to proceed at once TO the
erection of new court house.
"Second-After considering vari-
Gus plans for adding to, and remod-
cling the present building with a
view to deferring the building of a
new house for goodly number OF
years. we do not believe that the
result attained would be satisfac-
tory or commensurate with the nee
essary expenditure.
"Third-We would recommend
and especially urge that the build
ing be re-wired at once In such q
manner as to remove the danger
from fire That the vaults be re-
paired so as to add to the security
Of the records kept therein. That
the roof be repaired or replaced az
may be found necessary to stop the
leaks. And that all these as well
as other minor repairs needed, be
made in such manner and at such
expense as would be consistent
with probable use Of the building
for a period of from three to six
years.
"Fourth-We further recommend
that when the condition Of finance
and the general prosperity OF the
people will warrant, that a small
levy not to exceed two mills, be
made for building purposes, and
that when the fund accumulated
therefrom shall reach an amount
that would justify going ahead that
NV court house be built either
embodying the old one or requiring
its removal as may be deemed wise
after consultation with expert au-
thority.
Respectfully submitted this 5th
day of May, 1911.
