Committee.
On motion of Mr.. Vesperman the
report was adopted.
Mr.. J. Hartman, ST., presented the
report of the committee on public
property.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Grant County:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, your
committee on public property, beg
leave to make the report as follows.
Upon careful examination of the in
terror of the court house we fully agree
with the statement made by Judge
Clementson to the members of this
interior of the court house is in such
condition that it should by all means
be frescoed, if for no other reason than
sanitary and cleanliness. We estimate
that the same can be done at a cost
and we recommend that Four Thou
sand ($4,OOO.0O) Dollars be appropri-
not exceed Four Thousand Dollars,
of the COZ house. That the con-
tracing or work of so doing be under
the superv sion of three members of
this Board, one of whom shall be the
chairman of this Board, and the other
two to be appointed by the chairman
of the Board.
We visited every office in the court
house and met the individual in charge
of the offices. We found that all of
the offices are in good shape, cleanly
condition and each office well supplied
with the necessary needs of the Of
flee with little exception.
The typeWriterS in the county clerks
office and in the county judges office
are both in such condition that it will
be more or less of an expense to have
them repaired. The county clerk pre-
scented US with an offer from the I'm
derWoOd people in which they offer to
take these two old machines and in
place thereof give to the county two
new No. Five UnderwOods at a differ
(S1O5.00) Dollars The cost of each new
typewriter is One Hundred and Two
and $1,000 ($1O2.50) Dollars. We be-
lieve the offer is good one and there
fore we recommend that we change the
two old ones and take two new ones
in their place and pay the additional
cost of One Hundred and Five Dollars.
We recommend that the electric
gong in the court room be connected,
if possible, with the electric wiring of
the Lancaster Electric Light Company
at a cost not to exceed Twenty Dollars.
We recommend that the chairman
and clerk arrange to have the tele-
phone system thoroughly overhauled
and that they enter into written con-
tracts with the wisconsin Telephone
Company and also with the Farmers
Telephone Com pany in reference to
the telephones in the several Offices in
the court house, as also the Farmers
telephone in the sheriffs residence,
they to enter into such a contract with
each of said companies that in the
event that service is not satisfactory
that they shall have the right to order
the discOntinuance of the use Of either
Of the phones of such companies. In
the event that the overhauling of the
system after investigation has to be
paid by the county, we would recon-
mend that there be appropriated for
