COURT HOUSE AS
SUMMER RESORT
County Temple Has a Cooling
Apparatus But 1t Is Not
in Operation.

1t may not be generally known but
the Rock Island county court house is
equipped with as effective a cooling
system as it is possible to install with
out great expense. BY means of it
the temperature in the building can be
lowered 10 or II degrees. The plant.
however, is not in operation. The
county is in financial straits and is not
expanding much money making the Of
fees more comfortable for its en-
ployes.
But the equipment is there and II it
comes TO the worst in the matter OF
heat the people of Rock Island can
use the court house as a refuge and
justify their course on the same
grounds that apply when public build
ings are thrown open to sufferers from
storm, flood or other disasters.
The court house is ventilated
through the heating plant and in win
ter the temperature is automatically
controlled by a damper which changes
the flow of air from warm to cold, and
vice versa.
Cold air comes in through a room in
the basement which is intended as
cooling room. In the summer this de-
vice is not made use of, but if motor
and fan were operated in the air in
take and spray of water played upon
the current there would be a circula-
lion of cool air in all parts of the
building. Those who have studied the
system and have seen it in operation
elsewhere say that the temperature of
the building could be lowered as much
as dozen degrees when the mercury
is at high notch outside. This would
make The court house comfortable
eevn during the hottest of the hot
waves.
